I just noped out of a book called “Exquisite Corpse” by Poppy Z. Brite. It’s torture porn with necrophilia and sadism by the ton. It’s actually well written, but I just got sick of it.

First school book I ever noped out of.
I saw it as a play, and it was amazing. Never understood why English teachers have students read plays. The whole point of a play is to have it performed. It’s like trying to teach swimming in an empty pool.

It’s called old people.
Old people will talk to strangers any time and any place.
Ask them a question and they’ll give you an answer.
Tell them you feel socially awkward and they’ll tell you what you’re doing right or wrong.
Think about it; they spend decades without devices. The only thing they ahd to amuse themselves was each other.
Go talk to some old people.
And your comment is relevant to 0.005% of the people in the world.

We need to stop using the term “middle class.”
Back in the day, middle class meant Archie Bunker/Al Bundy supporting a family of four with one job.
Today it’s two college graduates struggling to keep up with the bills.
We’re in Tsarist Russia; a huge mass of serfs, a small set of professionals, and an aristocracy that controls 90% of the wealth.

Look at Heath Ledger, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, etc etc etc.
Heath was young, successful, dating a billionaire, and had everything in the world at his fingertips. He decided to have a one man party with drugs and alcohol.
Get this book.
“Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail. It’s a series of self tests you can do in half a day, and a list of jobs that use those skills. Fro example, product demonstrator and nurse and hair stylist all need good dexterity and good people skills; three totally different jobs with a similar skill set. The book also has a list of jobs for each skill set, including education requirements.
Second, start applying for civil service jobs. In most of the US a civil service job has a good union and good benefits

Think about it this way. In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average home was $11,000.00 In 1968, when Richard Nixon took office, ‘middle class’ meant one Union job supporting a family of four. By the time Bush Sr. left office in 1992 “middle class” was two college jobs to support the household.
There are six self tests in the book. Things like math, mechanical problems, leadership, etc.

“Discover What You’re Best At” by Linda Gail.
I found this book when I was out of work due to an injury. You can do the self tests in half a day, and the jobs they suggest go from entry level to college graduate. When you can get up on a rainy Monday morning and feel okay about going to work you’ve solved most of life’s problems.
Try this one.
“Altered States.”
A Harvard neuroscientist is experimenting with sensory deprivation and other hallucinogens.
