Go to a community college and get your certifications. The problem is that the wages are way low starting out. That's why young people tend to do it. If you can swing the first three or four years, then start your own business, you&#x2

Mindfulness and CBT sorts of things have always seemed like saying, "but have you tried just not having anxiety?" I don't get it. Address the feeling, let it wash over you. It won't wash over. It sticks and causes the ch

Even Wikipedia is a problem though. There are so many pages now that self-reference is almost impossible to detect. Meaning, the citation of a statement made on Wikipedia that uses an outside article for reference, which is an article that

Subaru burned me on this. I bought my wife an outback. It started to have transmission issues with a full transmission failure at about 145k miles. This is after a life of small problems here and there that didn't really impact perform

College kids in my day just drank and drank and drank and learned to deal with hangovers. College kids today tend to alternate one alcoholic to one water. They don't really have hangovers. They're smarter than we were.

What the hell is wrong with people? Honestly the lack of substantive human interaction in a lot of folks' lives, except via the Internet, is a real problem. Take that story for instance. Here's how that goes in the physical world,

Go away. Just go away. Sometimes too much cynicism is toxic. Donating blood is good for other people regardless of the profit motive from the company. And if you're talking about the Red Cross, their CEO is reported to make less than 7

People really do underestimate the biological controls in large operations. I'm absolutely not a supporter of that style of farm, but They're essentially clean rooms with animals living in them. It's kind of amazing. We only

Shrews are cute but MEAN. A few years ago we had a couple of feet of snow in a day. As I was snow blowing the driveway, I noticed all these little tunnels on the edge that was cut off by the side of the blower. Then I saw a tiny little anim

Pot is one of those things that makes things worse if they're already going badly. Like alcohol or opiates will make your good life bad if you fuck too hard with them. Pot, in my experience, won't really ruin your life unless you&

I am not super comfortable with a company whose purpose is figuring out pinpoint meteor strikes. That seems like a recipe for acquisition by the military? Who needs nukes when you can lob a hunk of iron at a city?

Purebred dogs are nothing but veterinary bills. Cats slightly less so, but still far worse than a mixed breed. The best pets I've ever had have been brown dog and orange cat breed.

I have zero faith. Republicans in those districts will find a way to spin this, and the people will eat it up. Maybe I'm just too cynical anymore but I have almost no faith in the American electorate.
