Life expectancy reduced to the wild and dangerous world of... 2004

like

You all seem to be forgetting that for conservatives, going backward is the goal.

Life expectancy at BIRTH statistically adjusted due to a pandemic that disproportionately impacts the elderly.

Yes that’s a chart I can buy into.

Alternatively imagine a world where critical thinking wasn’t abhorred. That goes for dems as much as the gop. This chart proves it.

Where is this graph from? I don’t dispute that life expectancy probably has gone down but the wording on the source seems suspect (eg, “off a cliff”, “why access”)

Why axis*

Had a second baby almost a year ago now and just can’t get back into work mode. I used to be a workaholic and now can’t find any motivation in my current job. Most of it is probably sleep deprivation and feeling like I don’t have any time to myself anymore, plus burnout. Anyone go through this after having kids? How long did it last? I don’t have the option of simply quitting, but contemplating switching to a true 9-5, no-stress job, possibly out of law, while they’re young. But that’s scary.

I was in a very bad shape last year (major anxiety episodes, OCD flares, panic attacks) and now I'm MUCH better. I feel like one thing that helped through it was for the first time in my life opening myself to experience my spiritual side (not talking religion here).

I feel like now that i feel better overall, I'm disregarding that part of me but wishing i still had that drive to feed my spiritual self. Any ideas on how to bring it back to my life in a way that doesn't really feel forced?

I think there's this myth that therapists have all their own sh*t figured out, and for me at least I know that's far from true (hopefully it isn't just me). On the contrary, I think we should be leading by example!

Ever since I was fully vaccinated I have been visiting friends, hooking up with people and trying to make plans with new people I meet. I was in a really depressive state for the past year and half and staying busy helps me cope for the past three weeks. Now I’m genuinely scared of being alone even for one night cuz my intrusive thought just kicks in. I guess I crave meaningful and deep human connection but that hasn’t really been improved. Am I still depressed?

Unpopular opinion: the FIRE community is contributing to an unhealthy workaholic culture as we forestall healthy work-life balance in favor of reaching our “FIRE” numbers a few years earlier. As a result, work culture is becoming all the more intolerable as the bold few would-be advocates for work-life balance are sucked headfirst into the rat race, and no one is left to fix things from the inside.

Society overall would be better served by a more community-minded approach to work-life balance.

Independent voter. Learning about this Hunter Biden laptop thing and seems like clear parallels to 2016. Two Presidential candidates, two sons, both selling access to their fathers?
