  • Oof.

    I feel this all to well.

    I highly recommend reading https://www.strugglecare.com/book .

    It’s not self-help. It’s not going to “fix” you.

    But reading it was some of the best therapy I’ve ever received. If you’re at all like me, maybe it will help you too. I am happier, as are the people I love and who love me, in large part because of K.C. Davis’ philosophy. (The people I love and who love me are also very empathetic and understanding, which I know is definitely not true for most people unfortunately).

    It’s less than $20.

    It’s short.

    Buy it. If you can’t afford it, I might even be willing to buy it for you / venmo you $20 to get it.

    Also available in your library / Libby.

    Also available as an audiobook.




  • Almost never. When I do, it’s probably most often because I’m thinking about concrete.

    I have never felt less like a “man” (in terms of gender) than when I watched a bunch of videos of men explaining why they think about the Roman empire every day.

    Actual quote, which was representative of the videos I saw:

    “What you need to understand about men, is that we all feel the urge to conquer.”

    — Well, I guess I’m not a man then 🤷.



  • Why would the inventory be off?

    Maybe OP didn’t explain it well, but I would imagine that:

    1. This only happened with people who paid cash
    2. If we imagine that every person in line has one drink and is paying with cash, OP would be ringing up 2 drinks for every other customer.

    For the purposes of inventory, 1 drink per person is the same as 2 for every other person.



  • Ok, this is a weird hypothetical, but if the world had been overcast for the last thousand years, and then suddenly there was sometimes just a completely blinding light in the sky that you sometimes have to drive straight toward, it would be chaos.

    Before COVID I imagined that the death toll would be so high that most roads would be shut down until technology had been developed and distributed so that you could never be blinded by the sun while driving. (Not just a flip down sun visor, but something like an LCD screen front windshield with head tracking that automatically blocks just the sun from your view).

    Now I know how quickly and easily people become acquainted with mass death.

    Now I imagine there wouldn’t even be a new driver’s test required that requires you to demonstrate that you can safely drive into the sunset.

    Just “We recommend, but don’t require, that you have a sun visor in your car when using public roads.”
