    Yeah I've always considered Gleiberman to be a reliable source but that list is click-baity as all get out. What the heck happened to him?

    Sorry for the late reply.

    No I did not lose my job, but many, MANY people I know did.

    No severance, nothing. Just “k bye”.

    I used to, but found the practice to arbitrary and silly for me (and ultimately disappointing). I decided if I need to change something, then the day I think of it is the day it needs to change. Every day is a chance.

    But if it works for others, god bless!

    I’m making a pretty big New Years resolution this year.

    I’ve never done it before.

    I really challenge myself:

    Go hunting.
    Cook a new recipe.
    Try some new wine, beer, alcohol.

    I'll go with work out more, drink less, maybe volunteer. I doubt I do any of those but they seem like decent goals.

    My goal for 2020 is to be more mindful of my mental health, and to finally do something about what I suspect is a case of ADD.

    My goal is to try to gain some self respect and self love, and in turn stop smiling while I let people treat me like shit.

    I have absolutely zero self respect or self worth. I have frequently considered suicide, and have actively planned and/or attempted more than once over the years.

    I need this to change. I need to find a way to love myself.

    Kidney stones, a kidney infection and a UTI are a lovely combination.

    I’ll post pictures of the discharge in the “Unpopular Opinions” thread.

    It's very Dad joke but a good one and it should last you ~20 years with careful use

    Meanwhile, Saturday's project turned out to be fixing a broken lock. My house key broke off in my front door.

    This necessitated several hours of nonsense by me (the piece won't come out and i don't have a spare key anyway, i'll have to replace the whole thing, trip to the hardware store, disassemble the old lock, oh wait the new one doesn't fit wth, fix the original lock almost by accident, oh wait maybe i do have a spare key in my junk drawer...)

    Long story short: Despite being inept and a big dummy, almost nothing else in the world makes me feel like a dude dude as much as fixing small broken shit around the house.

    If you’re able to complete a project with only ONE trip to the hardware store, you’re doing good.

    When I changed the locks on my old house many moons ago, I learned that the new locks I bought didn’t fit the hole in the door. So, did I go back to the hardware store like a smart man? Or did a pissed off /frustrated / soon to be officially divorce Scar grab a 1.5” hole saw and bore the shit out of both doors...

    I know some of your are hung up on the privacy aspect, but you might be interested in this since it operates on a closed loop and you don't need to connect it to anything for it to work, but it's really nice not having to carry around keys anymore.

    In fact, I dont even need to take my "keys" out of my pocket during the day... between my car fob and just a passcode to enter my house. If you connect it to your phone, it knows when you are "Away" and makes sure to lock the house if you happened to forgot.

    Kind of you to say so --- but technically it will be 2 trips. I need to return the unused lock that didn't fit.
