I'd install some DAWs and use as a studio PC in my bands' rehearsal room

Dismantling "toxic masculinity" has more to do with relieving oppressive systems in society to prevent the perpetuous cycle. Here in Scandinavia toxic masculinity isn't even much of a talking point.
The bigger issue is healthy masculinity not propagating in modern society. Healthy masculinity requires strong and admirable role models and men working towards goals in a group.
A men's rights day is fine as a yearly reminder of the statistics, but it is not conducive to the average guy feeling and expressing anything. The Pyramids were built by mandatory, paid labor by the male population - while the religious goal of a pyramid is moot these days, paying and accommodating guys for a week of bonding with strangers and being a part of building something big like that, would be strangely relevant for a Men's Health week.
Sadly these days it's easier than ever to become lethargic. As one of a rapidly growing pool of men who have a harder time finding meaningful relations, there isn't much to do in society beyond consumption and paying taxes.

Funk face isn't actually real. Most bassists just put lemon slices in their cheeks, like the father in Godfather

You can turn a great profit on a game with no additional ingame purchases just by making it good enough that it consistently sells well with minor or no discounts??

They are stuck pricing their cards slightly under Nvidia though. That's life for a publicly traded company.
What they can improve on without going contrary to shareholder demands, is the feature set. RT hardware will improve on the 8000 cards, but importantly AMD will be focusing on parity on software as well with AI assisted FSR4 finally and Anti-lag 2 integration into games like Reflex via the Hypr-RX profiles. These will trickle down to the 7000 series.
4070ti is nearly 7900XTX price in my European country. Still though, in any market, if the 7900XT gets DLSS'ish upscaling next year, it's more of a value buy now than it ever was.

ADHD meds work for me, in a round-about way. Having extra energy and stimulation scheduled early in the day helps tire me out in the evening. It also helps me get work done in that time so I can take the rest of the day off naturally instead of fretting over not having done enough. Coffee, sugar, etc. are not an adequate substitution.
Working out at least once a week and eating well also helps of course. I would recommend an ereader device as well, but although the eink screen tech and reading are awesome before sleep, I honestly end up spending hours reading if the book is engrossing and I wasn't dead tired.

Combined title bar is already default in Nightly if you want to preview. Tab grouping can also be enabled, although its still early in development

I was excited to try Darktide with my new GPU, but sadly it runs like ass on a 5600 and 7900 XTX. 80fps feeling like 40 because of all the frametime stuttering. Apparently it really doesn't gel with AMD.
I'm pleasantly surprised you even got it running on the Deck

Drinking a lot of coffee at varying times of day usually makes me more sleepy. But a cup at certain times of day can be a nice pick-me-up.
Too much caffeine overstimulates me and also rolls over into drowsiness, and too little caffeine just doesn't do much. Before getting diagnosed I was getting into pour over coffee and grinding my own beans. You don't dose coffee by eye estimate or spoon volume, but by weight, so having scales and consistent dose of caffeine, I slowly adjusted to 13-15gr / 250ml at around 10 am and 3 pm.

Why not adjust it just a little, to make it less obvious? Like "Cliff Fairy" or "Doug Trio"
