I have worked with a lot of old dudes. Most of them just didn't want to retire. Some did not save a penny and others just worked sales gigs that were on autopilot so they had no reason to hang it up. Then many consultants that just wanted something to do to keep the mind moving.
Worked with a few that were president materal in their 80s. An old mentor of sorts retired in december and was back to work by March, 77 years old.
My entire career got launched because my old company was thinking they'd all retire in the next few years. The 401k match was 10% because they were trying to get these guys out. 10+ years later many of them are still plugging along.

Post-partum depression affects 1 out of 5 women who have given birth. It's a specifier under Major Depressive Disorder in the DSM-5-TR that acknowledges is can have varying levels (just like "standard" depression). Post-partum psychosis is the most severe of that presentation (and falls under other conditions as a specifier like Brief Psychotic Disorder or Major Depressive Disorder with psychotic features, etc).
it also affects 1 in 10 men. Which is where i think this story has struck such a chord beyond everything being lame gender politics nonsense. It is estimated that 44% to 64% of people in jail have a mental illness, those people recieve a fraction of the care proir to their crimes than she did.
Online women love to bring up that the most dangerous time for women is when they pregnant. What the reaction be if men were saying it was hormonal issue? It is true that husbands have hormone swings when their wife is pregnant. You cannot tell me what it is like, you are not man and never experienced how wild the mood swings are.

pretty sure this is all fake news
He did go to Costa Rica after but whatever, i am not going to judge someone for going MIA after that
The review is from a fishing guide in Mass in 2025, not uncommon for fishing guides to ask you to leave a review.

I’ve worked in Deer Park/Pasadena nearly all of my 18ish years in the industry…lived in The Montrose, Upper Kirby/River Oaks, and now Rice Military.
Guess it all depends on what you’re willing to part ways with each month on rent or a mortgage…and then what your interests are in your downtime.
The fricking traffic is the worst its ever been…25-30 minutes from where I’m at to work, but going home it’s damn near an hour everyday.
i have done similiar/identical commutes ending in last year and job before that.
I-10 construction has made it miserable because you used to be able to take 45, 10 or 610. If you main route had a wreck.
Then last year it would regularly have me taking Clinton because the freeways were backed up everywhere.
Like i said earlier, if you live in the loop, it is not bad if you cut out of work before the plants shift change around 4. After 4, it is a shite show. A 30-45 minute commute can quickly go to 1.5 hour
re: Number of unmarried young men is surging

Statistically, the average age of a first marriage for men today are right at 30 years old. The average in 2000 was right at 26 years old. That shift alone to getting married later would naturally create a large population of single men in the 20 to 39 year old range.
Is it that men just aren't getting married at all or they're just getting married later?
The shithead dude in their 20s to kinda figured it out 30 something then marrying the last non-married late 20s girl of the friendgroup pipeline

Let me tell you what is coming. After the sacrifice of countless millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives you may win Southern independence, but I doubt it. The North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates. But when they begin to move in a given direction, they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of a mighty avalanche."

We fought war in Afghanistan specifically to secure the poppy/opium trade. The Taliban had largely destroyed the opium crop, and we came in to prop it up. This directly led to the rise of the opioid crisis, and enriched Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family, directly at the expense of people in Applachia. We're still, as a society, paying for this mistake, while none of the evil Sacklers are hung or in prison.
The less hot take of this and probably more true, we (CIA) gave the afgan poppy farmers a market to sell their product to buy loyalty. In turn the Sackler's secured enough opium to create a generation of addicts with help of the FDA turning a blind eye
It is not like the CIA didn't do the same thing with coke to crack in the 80s
