You could drink your way to the bottom of a bottle? I don’t personally do either, but everyone copes with stress differently. Mobile games are designed just like casinos to entice you to spend money.

I’ll play games occasionally but not all the time. It’s a good way to take your mind off of everything and shut your brain down for 15 minutes half an hour. Some of the new games have stories just as intricate as a movie or novel.
Honestly the last one I got into was the remake of Doom a few years ago, you could play for 15 minutes after family was in bed and it was constant engaging but brainless action. It was a good way to get away from worrying about quarterly financial statements or the kids being kids.

THIS. People have money for what they want to have money for. Some buy games, others spend it on golf, etc. Its just what they like to do.

I’ve spent about $600 on Animal Restaurant because I can and will. Never any pressure by the app maker, I just want to lol. That games brings me unimaginable relaxation.

It actually helps keep the mind fresh and stave off Alzheimers, so we'll see who's laughing in 10+ years : )

Not my jam admittedly, I do prefer the bottle. And food. And throwing things.

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work.

One of my residents suggested I start running to the hospital every day to squeeze in some exercise, and I have truly never felt better.

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?
