I’m a dude in Oregon. I regularly make bad life decisions and do not make a habit of learning from my mistakes.

    Sometimes big life decisions come easy. Sometimes small life decisions come hard (no double entendre intended). As long as they’re both on the same page when it comes to commitment, hopefully the concerns you mentioned don’t apply to them and we can feel happy about it as a third-party spectator.



















  • Atheist and skeptic, so I can’t jump to conclusions, but I watched a sphere of light move alongside me in my car while I was driving next to the Willamette river in West Salem, Oregon. It moved and stopped with more precision than I’ve ever seen from a drone and stayed about 50-some feet in the air above the river. I moved my head around consistently to ensure it wasn’t a reflection on my windshield. My friend had told me about his “alien experience” that sounded shockingly the same, also in West Salem, but a good year before this. He claims to have seen multiple and was just standing outside for a cigarette.


  • In some respects, there’s no addressing this problem.

    If you’re impoverished enough to be incapable of taking time off of work, that’s because of legislation and leadership that have dumped poor people in the dirt for the last half century in favor of corporate interests. The burnout from that - incessant forced labor - cannot be recovered from without reasonable wealth distribution and employment regulations.

    Counseling definitely helps. You may be suffering from something that we can’t fix unless we can fix it as a society. I hope we’re moving in that direction, because I’m right there with you. Drowning.
