While getting a smog check, the proprietor told me that there was more crime than ever in our area. I was baffled. He looked to be my age. Had he forgotten the '90s? People will believe things they're told over what they see with their own eyes. Smh... and I'm finding a new smog check place next time
I went to school on a campus overrun with squirrels and you could see the whole life cycle on the way to class: defending territory, finding mates, and then making babies, all in a nonstop frenzied squirrelly adrenaline rush. but this... this I never saw
Ahhh hexbear. I was there at the beginning, and left after a few months. It's strange to see their dysfunction become more widely known. There were some nice features on their fork though.
It's good to recognize that. Sometimes a job is something you do to fund the other things you want to do. Because the things you really want to do don't pay anything!
Conservative TV commentators love dropping buzzwords, dog whistles, and conspiracy theories, to the point of incoherence. Dear god it's been word clouds all along...
OP these two pieces of advice from an old college professor might help:

About 15 years ago I left the career path I'd started to move cross country and go to graduate school. I thought I might want to do research. Some wonderful things and some terrible times came out of that. I learned and grew greatly. Strangely I ended back on a similar career path, not as far along as I might have been but not back at the beginning either. Nothing's a mistake as long as you learn from it. Whichever path you take, check in with yourself sometimes to see if it's still working for you. If not, ask yourself what you can learn from that info.
If you have any questions about specifics I'm happy to try and answer.
Many good recommendations already. Mine are: Warhammer, namely the Horus Heresy, the first few books of which I've read. Only 51 more to go. Robert Heinlein, all of his books are in the same universe which is pretty neat. He has his issues but the world building is top notch and sustained across so many works.
I'd recommend looking into behavioral economics. It's in very infant stages but has a lot of potential imo. And there is bleed over into experimental psychology.
