Jordan Peterson has been hospitalized with
-mold infection from not cleaning his room
-CIRS, which gives you mood swings and emotional disregulation and bouts of mania

I... Literally cannot believe this

'We're not entirely sure what's going on': Jordan Peterson taken down by moldy room, daughter raises possibility of 'spiritual attack'

It's a crying shame.

When she graduated college and joined the Walker Corps of the ITDC Space Forces her instructors were consistently impressed with her accuracy before her co-pilot enhancement, being one of the few pilots who could pass marksmanship drills without any computerized assistance.

#OctoberWorldbuilders 8: If you count shooting sports, yes. She has been drilled since she was a kid in firearms and being a rifle marksman, which she turned into competing in rifle shooting competitions from the age of 8 through her time in military college.

Back on my weight loss nonsense. Food noise is even worse this time. Just ate lunch. Instead of feeling full and content, my brain is like "go get chips, make some popcorn, a donut would be good, Taco Bell maybe?"

I'm hoping it goes away with time, but if you're struggling out there, bestie, same.

Wear sunscreen, stretch, keep active as much as you can, and sleep is more important than when you were in your 20's.

It's also not doom & gloom or sun shine & rainbows. It's practical stuff, drawn from historical examples, that let us see how things are gonna turn out. The right & left hate it, because it's usually a lot more muddy than ideologies like. In the end it's gonna hurt a lot of folks.
