Crabs in a bucket.

In the past, happiness across the adult lifespan took on a “U-shaped” curve. Young adults were among the most content with their lives, happiness dipped in middle age and then rose again among older adults. In recent years, this decades-old curve has shifted into a straight, upward line. Older adults remain happy, and middle age remains middling, but young adults are now less happy than either group.

Yeah, we know why. Decades of reduced social investment at the behest of a incredibly large and selfish cohort that is remaining in power far longer than any generation before them.

Thanks for posting. I’m now at 108 days. I can confirm that drinking “responsibly” was far more work than not drinking at all. I started journaling my random thoughts about drinking (which still happen) and still refer back to entries I made in the first few weeks. They remind me where I was and why I don’t want to go back to square one. IWNDWYTT!

Appreciate you evangelizing for dry herb vaping. It’s mind blowing to me that more people haven’t made the switch. I haven’t convinced a single of my local friends after doing it myself for 10 years and sharing it with them. Probably should just give them my old vapes.

Haha holy shit, this made me realize I do that all day everyday. It really is a reflex from the 90s and serves zero purpose.

So much alcoholism. And 2008 happening in their prime earning years caused several gen X’ers I know to never recover financially.

Thanks! I’m looking to do this and appreciate your approach in showing and explaining details that often get glossed over.

Kansas tried something similar and it was such a disaster the Republicans had to repeal it themselves.

Such a perfect goal for the historical highlight reel!

Man, it woulda been so beautiful if he had gotten it on that mini breakaway!

 

Last year, lawmakers recriminalized drug possession, a swift reversal just as Measure 110-funded programs were starting to demonstrate their impact.

Some of the funding for the new treatment and recovery services has, for now, remained intact, with innovative programs chipping away at the crisis, though with reduced resources. The Guardian visited organizations across the state that are successfully turning people’s lives around, meeting with people who have, against steep odds, found recovery.

 

In experiments at Stanford University, chemists discovered that microdroplets in fine sprays of water generate streaks of “microlightning”. When surrounded by the right mix of gases, these sparks power chemical reactions that synthesise many molecules for life.

Prof Richard Zare, a chemist who led the team, said: “This is a real contribution to understanding how you can go from non-life to life. You have water sprays all over the place, particularly around rocks, and there are crevices in rocks where these chemicals can accumulate.”
