It'll be a software as a service subscription-based racket, possibly with micro transactions

Oh you want blue skies? There's a VR-based software solution for that

Blue skies? A sacrifice this guy and his friends in tech are apparently willing to make -, for all of us

It kinda funny how the German is already heavily loaded and trying to make it a bad thing, but the English translation is reducing any amount of nuance the original text still had left in it, painting it as this devil institution brainwashing young people into becoming soulless borg commies.

for example, the original last sentence reads like this, faithfully translated: "Socialist morals and a positive attitude to life in a community were more important learning goals than the development of individual skills."

Here's the whole thing, trying to be as faithful and transliteral as I can be to the original:
Kindergarten served not only for childcare, it was also the first educational institution, anyone born in the GDR would visit. Obviously, because of this, state leadership had an interest in providing wide coverage: places at a Kindergarten were available for way more than 90 percent of children. The daily schedule was precisely planned and applicable to everyone: they would play together, eat together and have naps together - under instruction [you could read this as "guidance" too, but the tone of the original is very clearly already trying to make the supervision part of childcare into an evil commie thing, so yea]. Socialist morals and a positive attitude to life in a community were more important learning goals than the development of individual skills.

Halo is generally pretty well received, though I felt it was sorta mid (but enjoyable enough, I guess)

I definitely wouldn't recommend smoking in that case, but vaping you could try if you make sure the vape is not getting too hot. If you do vaping right it's basically warm, spicy mist - still may make you cough, but could be manageable if you're careful. The effect is a lot more immediate from vaping, is the only reason I'd at least consider it in your case. You can also try ingesting it orally for a slower uptake, though I'm not sure what a good dosage or way would be for you. Can't really OD on CBD though, so don't stress it too much. If you go that way just beware, there are a lot of snakeoil products out there with CBD. I'd try going for a basic oil extract from a reputable vendor that ideally also sells whole flower, that should give you a pure, reliable, versatile solution for oral ingestion. You could put it on food or even bake with it (I think), take it any way you would ingest oil. Alternatively, you can solve it in alcohol, but I don't think that's a great idea for your use case.

There's probably also CBD in pill form some way or other, I'm sure

have you heard of medical marijuana

could probably unironically help you reduce your dosage but don't expect miracles obviously. Try vaping some herb, maybe it helps. If you don't wanna get high, try pure CBD strains.

The invasive species is one concept among many inculcated by capitalist ideology, sublimating our intertwined social and ecological crises, transforming them into problems amenable to various kinds of security regimes. From border walls to fish dams, from militarized police departments to invasive species eradication campaigns, the capitalist state can only do so much to tamp down the mounting symptoms of an economic order at war with the planet’s ecology, and therefore its own survival. Consigned to leaving the roots untouched—that is, to ensure the reproduction of capitalism at all costs—the masters of humankind are vigorously pruning the branches that support their own weight.
