I just spent the last 20 mins trying on clothes that I outgrew that I now fit into.

It's borderline erotic.

Bounty hunters operate in a legal gray area that is a total mess. I can't believe it has never really been a hot button issue broadly.

Excerpt reads: "Prioritize your neighborhood
Neighborhoods drive our happiness (or unhappiness) more than we think.

When Lina Martinez, director of POLIS, the Center for Wellbeing Studies at Universidad Icesi in Colombia, studied the happiness of households in the city of Cali, she couldn’t find much difference between poorer and richer areas. β€œTheir happiness is pretty much the same,” she said. But that changed when she isolated neighborhood conditions, such as access to transit, health care and parks. β€œThe conditions of the neighborhood affect happiness,” she said. β€œI can’t link that to the space where [people] live.”

That aligns with findings from a 2023 study of the Vancouver metro area: Researchers found no significant differences in well-being between people living in single detached homes, duplexes, townhouses, laneway houses and apartment buildings (basement units smaller than 300 square feet were the only negative exception). What did people say they missed most in their neighborhood? Affordability, proximity to family and friends, and a sense of community. Home design was eighth on the list."

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected.

Vancouver Whitecaps coach Jesper Sorensen on Thomas MΓΌller: "The good thing about Thomas is that he can affect things in so many ways, and he doesn't have to play like a brilliant player to affect his teammates and his team positively.... it's not that we rely on magic, but we rely on coherence"

The surest sign of my self loathing has to be the fact that I am currently at the grocery store the night before thanksgiving

I think this truck ran into this pole and they were just holding things up while they get it towed.

Having some coffee at my spot while watching some soccer while November Rain inexplicably plays overhead.

Doesn’t get much better.
