The Problem with Homelessness
I have noticed lately that people have been asking me—because I’m a psychologist—what I think about “the homeless problem.” The question is almost always followed by a sidebar like, “It’s a lot of mental illness stuff, right?” Depending on who is asking, I’ll sometimes give what I call the simple answer: “Not as much as…

Returns to Reddit All the cool names are taken By accounts I closed Update: I posted this to the haiku subreddit and they took it down without clear explanation. Which is why every time I create a Reddit account I end up deleting it. Not enough karma to post here and this doesn’t meet our…

Daily prompt #whatever
What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why? Whenever I look at my retirement accounts I play a game I call, Can I retire today? Will I ever be able to retire? Why? Cause I got stuff to do and the 40+ hour a week grind has long since gotten old and in the…
