Yes alcohol is bad. Then again, it seemed like it was the only drug that helped with my panic attacks, and generalized anxiety. Benzodiazepines(mainly Klonopin) helped a bit, but d…

I knew a guy whom tried to commit suicide by shotgun. He blew the part of his brain out that controlled most of his muscles. He spent 25 years in hospital bed. His depression clear…

I used to put pennies in the fuse box as a kid. My mom didn't spank me on that one, but the anger she displayed stopped my childish behavior. By the way, I think we have gone overb…

Don't forget free healthcare, education, work/privacy laws that put most countries to shame, decent homless shelters. They live longer. They are happier on every metric compare to …

I think I'm shadowbanned, but at this point don't care. I know I didn't insult anyone, but wasen't going to kiss the moderator's ego. This moderator actually emailed me (And that w…

I don't care anymore. (I do care. I had no idea I was being moderated.) I use this site as a diary somedays. I've had a moderator tell me to stop posting. I had no idea some Modera…

I think this is very common. In kindergarten, twice a month we needed to put the correct wooden date placard on the front wall. They would hand me the card, and I would walk up to …

USA 66 Yes--I'm sad. I can't say what I want, but they use our relatively safe nation, judicial system that isn't corrupt for the most part, put their kids in decent colleges, buy …

1. A federal right to repair law needs to be enacted. 2. Yes--most people coud care less about ease of reparability, but most people don't know what's best for them anyways? 3. If …

"This page will reload due-----." I really loved my iPad, but like you, will probally not buy new again. As to receiving regular OS updates, you need to be careful. The new operati…

"The benefits of some of those advances are questionable at best. Spending the last decade of your life commuting to doctor's offices (or bedridden) ain't no picnic, nor is rotting…

I can't afford a Tesla, or really any new car, but I love simple machines that just work. I have an old 80's Toyota truck that I just can't part with. It wasen't over engineered, n…

My only gripe is everyday the system seems more rigged. The farmer can work their hands to the bone, but still can't compete with the wealthy farmers surrounding their farm. Are th…

It seems like the sorting/packaging facilities would be ripe for unionization. Then again, I could picture Bezos moving whenever union talk started? As to why he's doing it? I thin…

Watch repair: The watch repair manual, by Fried Practical watch repairing, by De Carle The Swiss Watch repairer's manual, by Jendritzki (This book is great, but don't pay more than…

1. You're right about filthy and understaffed. (Not so sure about understaffed, but the stores were dated aesthetically.) 2. Sears is way past its business cycles. I don't think an…

1. Why are they doing this? Is it to create goodwill? It it an advertisement for their servers? I honestly think they know the tech party is about to end, and they want to keep the…

The Rand Corporation did a study on AA years ago. AA didn't work in their study. Then again, it's basically all we have? I think my problem is when the AA beliefs are yelled at oth…

1. She's blaming the imaginary. She needs Professional help. 2. I understand you can't deal with it. 3. Get her professional help if you can. 4. I understand the poor whom turn the…

You are a good person. A better peson than myself.

Edit: "My view of the future is we will be catering to the Wealthy." Oops--and if you think I'm wrong explain? I dropped out of Chiropractic School because I just didn't believe in…

It feels like all this increasingly cheap technology will be used to enslave, and demoralize the poor? My view of the future will be most of us catering to the poor. They will be a…

Yes, we were. And 200 years ago most people were essentially homeless. In a weird way, they had it better than our current homeless. At least they had a fighting chance to better t…
