Crabs in a bucket.

In the past, happiness across the adult lifespan took on a “U-shaped” curve. Young adults were among the most content with their lives, happiness dipped in middle age and then rose again among older adults. In recent years, this decades-old curve has shifted into a straight, upward line. Older adults remain happy, and middle age remains middling, but young adults are now less happy than either group.

Yeah, we know why. Decades of reduced social investment at the behest of a incredibly large and selfish cohort that is remaining in power far longer than any generation before them.

Thanks for posting. I’m now at 108 days. I can confirm that drinking “responsibly” was far more work than not drinking at all. I started journaling my random thoughts about drinking (which still happen) and still refer back to entries I made in the first few weeks. They remind me where I was and why I don’t want to go back to square one. IWNDWYTT!

Appreciate you evangelizing for dry herb vaping. It’s mind blowing to me that more people haven’t made the switch. I haven’t convinced a single of my local friends after doing it myself for 10 years and sharing it with them. Probably should just give them my old vapes.

Haha holy shit, this made me realize I do that all day everyday. It really is a reflex from the 90s and serves zero purpose.

So much alcoholism. And 2008 happening in their prime earning years caused several gen X’ers I know to never recover financially.

Thanks! I’m looking to do this and appreciate your approach in showing and explaining details that often get glossed over.

Kansas tried something similar and it was such a disaster the Republicans had to repeal it themselves.

Man, it woulda been so beautiful if he had gotten it on that mini breakaway!

Pretty sure I’ve been subscribed to the slashdot rss for over 20 years

I was looking for similar answers and just couldn’t figure out what really mattered. Then I used this site: Distro Chooser

It asks a lot of questions, but I think they nailed the best choice for my needs and preferences.

It’s not “disruption through innovation” it’s “disruption through having a bottomless war chest of other people’s money to throw on the fire of your economic arson.”

And it’s now coming to a government near you!

https://fuckcombustion.com/ is a good resource for discussions. I agree with the other poster that Dynavap is a good starting point. There is some learning curve to get the process dialed in, but it’s not too hard. If you want something electric, Planet of the Vapes Lobo is decent. Though, I do think it’s probably worth putting that money toward the Tinymight2. I have had probably 20 vaporizers in the last 10 years and the TM2 is about all I use anymore. If you enjoy using them at home, I really recommend going through water.

Wow. Everything old is new again.

Retired on 12/31, so I’m at 79 days. Over the 25 years I was in active drinking service, I probably averaged 3+ beers about 3 times a week. So, it wasn’t totally debilitating but certainly I did some regretful things and generally wasted a ton of time.

A few years ago I noticed I would get drunker quicker than expected, so I had to start monitoring a little more. This eventually just became the moderation game we hear about - 1 beer wasn’t satisfying but eventually even 2 beers were enough to fuck up my sleep.

I just finally figured I’m done feeling like crap. Well, I still feel like crap but at least I’m not making it 10 times harder on myself by drinking.

Each day I think about it a little less. Really hoping I get to the other sober thing I hear about - feeling genuine joy again! I do find myself thinking and exploring hobbies I dropped in high school when booze took over. It’s fun to get to know myself again. IWNDWYT ❤️
