Out of all the great suggestions ITT, I think I like this one the best. But I would be the kidnapped wife in this situation, so I don't get to pick the music.

My husband and I used to adopt senior dogs to give them a few good years. We are currently taking a break and raising 2 younger dogs, but after these two are gone, we will go back to adopting grey muzzles.

It hurts when each one goes. Our vet has see us cry our hearts out 5 times in the last 8 years. The way I see it, I have dog-shaped holes in my chest. And there are old dogs who need love stuck in shelters. So I just fill the holes… with dogs. Over and over again.

ARTICLE:

Ever since the coronavirus pandemic, working from home has become normalized. But working from home can also lead to a very bad habit called bed rotting. This new trend encourages people to stay in bed for passive activities, but that can spill over into work.

"I'm not one to, like, get up and get ready every single day. But I need my screens. I need my monitors. I need my set up," said Caroline Wharry, who works in marketing from home a few days a week.

Wharry said working from home is a new type of lifestyle, but bed rotting sounds somewhat lazy and uncomfortable.

"I take my meetings, and when I'm on meetings, I try to have my camera on. So, I do not understand how they're doing all of that from their bed," Wharry said.

Elise Vader, a physician's assistant and sleep specialist with University Hospital, said people could also develop insomnia.

"For general health. We know that being active and moving is important for the body, for your mood, for your muscle health, for your heart health," Vader said.

A Sleep Doctor survey found about six out of 10 remote and hybrid workers say they bed rot during work hours. Four out of every 10 men say they are more likely to bed rot compared to just two out of every 10 women. And four out of every 10 bed rotters say they were influenced to do it because they heard about it from others.

"The No. 1 thing is when it comes to what we call sleep hygiene, which is like the best way to get the most healthy sleep, you know, keeping your room cool, dark and quiet, staying away from screens. This kind of goes against that," said Marten Carlson, a sleep science coach.

About 40% of bed rotters say they spend one to two hours working from their bed, and about half of those bed rotters say they spend at least half of their day in bed.

"When we think about sleep, especially when you're doing activities in bed, you're training your brain that the bed is for being awake and active," said Dr. Kristi Pruiksma, an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UT Health San Antonio.

She advised that the bed should be used for sleep and intimacy only.

Everyone dissociates to a degree. I can guarantee you are doing it at least a little bit. It doesn’t always look or feel like being out of your body. It can be as simple as avoiding feeling feelings by doing things or by being too cognitive.

Your comment made me wonder about generational differences when it comes to drugs of choice, since psychedelics seemingly fell out of favor there for a bit while cocaine took over. I wonder how each generation's drug use affects their consciousness and such. Some random data:

It's so tiring to keep track of what they're outraged about now.

You would be wrong about that. My parents live in Russia and the services are fine. My mom can get an ambulance with a Doctor to come to her house for free whenever she feels ill. In the US, I would pay an arm and a leg for an ambulance without a doctor. That’s part of the problem, actually - life is decent in Russia, at least in Moscow, so people don’t rebel.

Also, “unprecedented information” doesn’t apply. It’s literally illegal to access this information in Russia. My mom has a VPN cause I had one set up for her. Otherwise she would be cut off from the outside world. She has a dummy phone without any forbidden apps that she takes with her on walks. Young people figure out a way, but anyone who is not tech savvy is fucked.

Don’t libertarians believe in abolishing public institutions like public schools? That’s encroaching on my children’s liberty to educate themselves affordably. Or without a public fire department it’s kind of hard to have the liberty to not die in a house fire.

Libertarianism is a joke.

About $300 per month. That doesn’t include vision and dental.
