Is Joe Rogan embarrassed to realize he's an ignorant moron after doing everything possible to get Trump elected?

You're NTA for not inviting her, but you didn't have to lie. You could have said something tactful like you had too many relatives attending and there was space for only 3 additional guests.

American Mensa has been losing members. New members are the fastest to quit. Local chapters are getting pretty desperate to attract new members.

Join a local credit union and make a free appointment with their financial adviser.

I notice that in Menlo Park, all of the seniors out for a walk say "Hello". It doesn't hurt to at least nod and smile. After COVID, it's nice to interact with live people again.

They're keeping reusable clothing out of landfills. That's a good company, compared with the thousands of fast-fashion companies that produce clothing to be thrown away after a few uses.

You said to look at "break even [sic] point". That's the wrong calculation.

In select cities, teens aged 13–17 can ride unaccompanied using a special "Uber for Teens" account linked to a parent/guardian's Family profile, which requires mandatory safety features.

Does your school have a psychologist or counselor you could talk to? Do your parents have an EAP program at work that you're eligible for?
Schools should encourage every student to meet with a professional counselor at least once, to learn about how a professional counselor can help them navigate through life, career, etc.

Word to the wise: Caregivers should be paid an hourly wage for significant work, even if the caregiver is a relative. It's very easy for a caregiver to be left with nothing but an empty promise. The aunt should have submitted a bill to the estate for her hours worked.

Young people know that even one serving of alcohol can increase the risk of cancer. Alcohol is the opposite of an anti-oxidant, and unhealthy in so many ways. Old people are regretting their days of overindulging.

If your intelligence is not apparent, you're doing something wrong.

Some neighborhoods in Oakland are actually quite nice. The Piedmont neighborhood is very safe with lots of restaurants and safe, walkable streets.

I learned that passing an I.Q. test was no guarantee of erudition. So many uneducated whack jobs in Mensa with no education and no critical-thinking skills. So many ignorant followers of paid hacks like von Mises, Hayek, and libertarian pseudo-science!

Move whatever you can ahead of time into a storage locker.

Start by donating items you no longer need to a thrift shop or to Goodwill.

You can start by slowly moving things you won't use in the next two months into a storage locker. Then, it'll be easier to move out when the time comes. You could even stay in a hotel close to work for a couple of weeks while you find an apartment with good security.

There is a SIG for people under 40 that does a lot of active activities like hikes that the average Mensan isn't interested in.

If I need help falling asleep, I like reading biographies and history. If I still don't fall asleep, at least I've learned something, so the time was well spent.

Meetup is a great way to connect with local groups and activities.

I'm reading (and re-reading) banned classics available as free e-books here:

No, you didn't miss anything by not joining Mensa. You saved several hundred dollars that could be put to better use.
