34·2 days agoHere’s another thought.
Humans who took in wolves were at an advantage over their neighbors. Wolves made great watchdogs, so the humans could sleep better, and helped in hunting so everyone ate better. People who refused to let wolves live with them would have been less likely to reproduce.
Domesticating dogs changed the humans.
Go get this book.
“Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail. It’s a series of self tests you can do in half a day, followed by a long list of jobs that use your particular skills.
I got the book when I was on worker’s comp after an industrial accident. It pointed me at a job I’d never even considered. Turns out I really liked that job. It let me use my brains and paid a decent salary.
Think of it this way. A nurse and a hair stylist both need good people skills and dexterity. Two totally different types of work, but the same skill set.
If you have a job that lets you wake up on a rainy Monday and not hate going to work, you’ve solved most of your problems.
At what level?
There are plenty of general interest books.
Instead of a ‘books’ thread, you might want a ‘nursing’ or ‘medical’ instance.
Good luck.
A pretty well regarded book written by a neurologist for the average reader.

Second, if the friend is really dumb, they’ll get arrested.
It’s a skill you have to learn.

There are an infinite number of possibilities between 1 and 2. 1.01, 1.001, 1.0001, etc etc. None of those infinite possibilities is 3.

From 1945 until around 1975 it was a real thing. Then the combination of Vietnam War spending, the Oil Crisis, and the economic policies of Ronald reagan destroyed it forever.
Subtlety was never my strong point.
The more people know about tech, the more they want to avoid it.
Walter Jon Williams “This Is Not A Game.” 2009 novel where an American stranded in a South Asian revolution uses “reddit” to connect with a way out. Fun novel totally ruined by the reality.
No, you deserve the benefits of sobriety.
Frank Zappa ideas; paraphrased by me.
In the 1960’s the music execs like Frank Sinatra and Duke Ellington and had no idea what the kids wanted. They just threw money at the problem and gave contracts to anyone. The result was a vast variety, everything from Sha-Na-Na to the Mamas and the Papas to Iron Butterfly. When the next generation of bosses got hired, they looked at the one consistent moneymaker; Motown Records. Everyone at Motown had a similar look and singing style…
A while back I looked down a long street and didn’t see one red car; in fact all the cars were some ‘no color’ neutral shade that wouldn’t offend the next buyer.
If you’re drinking you’re spending time and money that could be used for better purposes.

Decision fatigue is a real thing. Ask anyone who sat through three tests in one day; even if you have studied the material, it’s hard to focus after a while. It’s easy to fill our day with minutia that distracts us from the impostant issues.
Every person is different and every day is different.
Don’t try to push yourself beyond your limits.
Also, some people can do an hour straight through, while others need a break after 30 minutes.
The main thing I’d say is figure out what is best for you and ignore anyone else.
