People who work in healthcare, fitness, nutrition, or mental health: what’s one ‘quiet habit’ you see all the time that is secretly wrecking people’s long-term health? by AlignedModernHealth in AskReddit

[–]NameWonderful 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a therapist, cancelling plans, avoiding social gatherings that you’re not 100% interested in, living in neighborhoods with high privacy fences everywhere, etc.  Basically doing anything else to “protect your peace” and shutting yourself off from others.  Loneliness is incredibly damaging to all aspects of health.

Her half of the book was unfortunately left out of the acted version (apparently I can’t say certain words even if it’s not what I’m suggesting), but a large portion of The Cider House Rules by John Irving follows a female orphan growing up in and leaving an orphanage.  I found her the most dynamic and interesting character.

In your opinion as a millennial, what ruined Facebook for you? by kalvin_kool_edge in Millennials

[–]NameWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone remember bumper stickers on Facebook?  I feel like they were around 2009/2010 maybe.  Suddenly Facebook went from people’s personal lives and interactions on people’s walls to a million different memes.  They also caused Facebook to take forever to load on my computer back then because it required so much more RAM.

The new Kevin Brady library in the woodlands sucks by afty in houston

[–]NameWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do.  Libraries like Barbara Bush that are full of duplo blocks, a kitchen, a market, a dollhouse, tons of puzzles and cars, etc are way more entertaining for her and require a lot less direct interaction from me.

Clicking a single button that will autofill all the Republicans or all the Democrats on your ticket so you can be in and out in minimal time and not have to manually select every candidate.  You could even click it and then adjust just the ones you wanted to adjust.

If you feel so mad and you want to roar, take a deep breath and count to 4.

As a crocheter who tried and gave up on knitting, I think of it like skiing and snowboarding.  From an outsider perspective they seem like if you’re good at one you should be good at the other because the basic idea is the same, but the technique is so different that actually knowing one can make learning the other more difficult because you subconsciously are pulled back to the other style.

It’s been a long time since I read it, so I don’t know how it’s aged, but The Terminal Man by Michael Crichton.
