I don’t really know what to do. I’ve tried lots of things. I try to leave it only plugged in except when I drive somewhere. I try to set it down. This is crazy.
Nothing works for more than a few days.
Suggestions?
The Innocence Project works towards a noble cause: get innocent people out of prison.
Could the Innocence Project go too far and get guilty people released? I have seen a number of articles praising the work of the Innocence Project and quite often the evidence that they use to claim someone is innocent is weak.
The New York Times published an article claiming that the men convicted of murdering Malcolm X a half century ago were actually innocent.… read more “Subscriber Censored by the New York Times”
Most doctors and therapists and caseworkers are just service workers like a plumber or a customer service rep… Some are good, lots are mediocre, some are bad. They all think they are gods, but they are very fallible humans.

The fellow who greets you with great enthusiasm as though you were his long lost brother, then puts on the same show five minutes later for the next new arrival.… read more “Social Climbers”
I have never understood why it is “greed” to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.
I am vaccinated and went to Seattle to visit some friends there last weekend. I was shocked to find that I had to show my vaccine card to enter a restaurant and wear a mask the whole time. I was the first one of my friends group to go into full quarantine in February 2020, but the statistics now show it is as safe as it was pre-pandemic to return to our regular lives.… read more “Vaccinated”
If you are looking for purpose in life, have children. The purpose of all biological life is reproduction. I can tell you from my own experience that my kids provide me a ton of purpose and direction.
If you are looking for meaning, focus on your relationships. Do DIY projects with your grandpa and dad. Go out to lunch with your mom weekly.… read more “How To Spend Your Life”
