First election since my teen became a registered voter. It's funny to see the different campaign ads we get: candidates send her the "young, hip, trendy" ads and I get the ones about Medicare. Am I really that old?

I find it amusing how easily they violate our privacy and bombard us with advertising, buy our data and then try to convince us with gimmicks rather than political ideas.

At least it happened to you with your son, it happened to me with my wife who is two years younger than me, then started the mockery towards me because for the country I am already an old man.

It would be fun to understand to ask our children for whom they are going to vote and why because in my opinion I think that things do not change much between one side and the other, but maybe at that age if you see a bigger difference.

When you step back and really consider everything that goes into an election, it's strange how our democracy is one big marketing campaign, isn't it?

"strange" isn't exactly the word I would use. "Scary", maybe?

I just had a doc appointment and as I was walking up, I noticed 4 staff members with their masks completely pulled down below their chins until they saw me approaching. They then pulled their masks up but it made me uncomfortable. If masks are required in doctors offices, shouldn’t they remain on all the time even if patients aren’t in the immediate vicinity? Especially since covid can last in the air for hours. I’m vaccinated but higher risk

1st of all: I’m super inspired by this bowl. I’m now mid-30s and recently went 50+ days without drinking and felt good/productive. (Longest streak since before turning 21) But how do you stick with it? I’m conflicted bc I haven’t hit a “rock bottom” and part of me loves a glass of wine to unwind and mark the end of the workday, but I also have a hard time stopping once I start (no such thing as 1 glass). Feel boarder-line between these 2 worlds and unsure where to go. Anyone feel similar?
