That is wild.

Or it’s a recording and we can view it but not interact.

Another great idea!

We tend to give people giftcards to food places (like a few different ones they can pick).

We had some folks do that for us when my wife’s mom died and it did actually help. It relived some stress of having to come up with dinner when you’re depressed and sad. Getting out and eating at a restaurant can help you feel more connected to others or ordering delivery can help when you’re a mess and don’t want to be with others.

These Philips LEDs are what you’re looking for. They’re also temp selectable so you can dial it to 3500K (what my entire house is). They’re super dimmable and flicker free. These are the only bulbs that worked for problematic coach light fixtures for me. No more flicker even in cold weather (they say indoor but work outdoors in a covered fixture just fine). Comes in 40W or 60W equivalents. CRI of 90. Not 95 but noticeably much better than cheap brands.

Don’t give them ideas.

Damned powerful insight. I’m sure video games are much the same for many kids. It explains why they want to play them so often. They want to control the situation they’re in. I hadn’t thought of it that way before as my own connection with gaming started at Super Mario Bros on the NES in ‘85. My parents were (and still are) completely supportive but it still attracted me as a 4yr old too. I still like escaping and relaxing to video games and playing the, now retro, systems from my youth. Thanks for putting how you’re feeling about it into words. I can’t even remember what the OPs original post was about because yours is the highlight. Well done. Have a great holiday season!

If you aren’t uncomfortable you can’t change. But first you have to want to want it. You aren’t really living paycheck to paycheck if you have a healthy savings however, it may be time to move somewhere where you can afford to live for longer and enjoy your nursing career, it’s a noble one after all.

Making and keep friends / lovers is much harder especially if you’re successful financially and career wise. I’d try to find a hobby in the psychology world online. There’s plenty of like minds out there that share the passion. If you want true friends you need to let them not be perfect. Have a great deal of grace and humility with coworkers. Same with finding a mate, even more so.

Good luck, it sounds like you’re doing a lot of things a healthy way.

Getting enough sleep typically helps with this.

This is the correct answer. Low fiber diets with a lot processed foods is a major contributor. Eat your vegetables and fruits people, they can save your life.

Oh and get a colonoscopy at 45. 40 if your family has a history of polyps or lower GI cancer.

Hence the “And” at the beginning of what I was saying.

Networking isn’t the only way to get a job. Helps, yes, but if you aren’t in a position to have that luxury there are other ways.

And if you don’t know people then call them or show up if possible. Just get ahold of even the receptionist. Taking initiative is a skill and it NEVER looks bad. I hired a guy I wasn’t looking to hire because he walked in, said he needed a job, and why he wanted to work for us. He didn’t waste my time, was succinct and had a great personality and attitude. As a hiring manager of over a decade those are hard skills to find. I set an interview time for him to come back the next day and he showed up 15min early (good) and blew me away in the interview just being honest and having a good attitude.

There are 2 skills most people suck at:

1. Reliability
2. Good attitude

You hate being late and have reliable transportation (this matters in the US). You’re a life learner and want to grow and develop your skills.

These are dealbreakers for me: 3) Team Player. In many positions, if you like working mostly solo, no one wants to manage that. Being a team player that doesn’t mind helping others and/or asking others for help when needed is essential to a team’s success. 4) Take personal accountability for your actions. If you can’t do this you are poison to a team. I’ve let go technically great people because something that went wrong was always someone else’s fault. Once they’re gone the team thrives and outperforms the technical excellence of one.

If I were a woman this is what I’d do. Great, loyal animal, that will give you peace of mind knowing they’ll keep the creeps away.

Great game. Super fun playing it with ghosting on the original GB back in the day.

Whatever, you’re missing the point.

You’re thinking to high level. I’m talking about what actually drives us. Slavery has been largely abolished (but not really) because it’s out of fashion. We haven’t fundamentally changed the way we think. We’re far more alike our ancient ancestors than we think.

I absolutely disagree. Lots of history proves that we are still motivated by primal instincts of self preservation. It always comes down to that.

Thousand years from now, the same statement will be made of us. We humans change little.

It’s always been trash …
