The lack of in-person community in modern American life has a profound and far reaching impact that I think many people fail to appreciate.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was wondering what else to try as I sure as hell don't want to use YouTube and it doesn't seem like you can have a separate podcast playlist in Spotify.

Our monthly game with another family hasn't met since September due to cancellations from sickness. With the holidays, we're not even trying again until January 😞

I would add a progressively higher tax rate for each property beyond 2-3.

There are so many things these days which co-opt and diminish our ability to pay attention and focus, it wouldn't be all that surprising if it's also affecting memory.

The book Stolen Focus goes into these issues, but diet, air pollution, smart phones, social media, and instant gratification tired to consumerism all diminish our ability to focus.

Go for a walk, longer is better but even 20 minutes will help.

Eat fermented foods and plenty of fiber to keep your gut micro biome happy. There's increasing evidence that your gut health impacts your mental health.

I'm so skeptical of companies, that I almost instinctively distrust any company which directly advertises to me. I would be doubly so if that ad came soon after discussing a need.

Trump already lost the civil case, the judge found him guilty of fraud. Everything in the case now is just about damages and penalties.

It's still so wild to me that after all these years of seeing Trump lie, cheat, bully, grift, and bloviate that anyone looks at him and says, yes this is the man I want to lead our country.

Just listening to him rant for like five minutes should be enough for anyone to realize that he's an incompetent asshole wholly unworthy of respect, much less public office. And yet, here we are with like 40% of the country saying he's their guy.

Here's a wild thought, maybe the best security comes from being a good neighbor and cooperating with people around you.

There are a lot of great Democrats out there, but there are plenty of bad ones too. I don't think we'll see real change until most of the boomers are dead and gone.

There's also the issue that with Republicans losing their damn minds, big money and corporations have been shifting their support to Dems.
