Your brain was never designed for this much bad news

I tell certain types "I don't follow politics" when I believe that my politics will be problematic to them and I don't want to hear about it, but the other way around from what you're describing. The people I have to deal with have started shouting at me when I simply give a different perspective and have no chance of budging in their views at a 5 minute conversation wont override the hours of fox news they watch everyday. I live is a somewhat small community, so not only do I need to worry about these types no longer patronizing my family's business, I also have to worry about my truck getting vandalized. I've actually heard one of these types proudly proclaiming they want to get into a fist fight with climate scientists.

Those who are old enough, do you miss these days?

Rick Rosner had this to say about high school:

High school's attractive to me, not necessarily because you have a good time, but because it's clear why you are miserable.

I would go for a redo if I could. I would know better not to trust the guidance councilors or school therapists. No compromises on the classes I really should have been in.

Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't.

Yeah, there's solutions to this problem and the idea that all of them don't do this a failing of the store's management.

France had to pass a law that banned food getting thrown out that could be given away.

I also noticed that Costco started offering more prepared chicken foods after it became more well known that their cheap rotisserie chickens would fill dumpsters at the end of the day.
