Tinnitus
I've had it most of my adult life. So many different things that could have contributed I don't really worry about it. I can tune it out most of the time, and I still really love loud music, but have made sure to wear ear plugs to concerts for decades now. Unlike others, I don't need a fan or other white noise to fall asleep with it. In some ways, the tinnitus is my own personal white noise and it doesn't upset me in any way. Some nights I don't notice it, or think of it. Others I do, and just fall asleep to it. I do have to watch just about all movies at home regardless of the language of origin with subtitles on, or I'll miss bits of dialogue.

Joe Biden 2022: Enter Dark Brandon
For some reason I have faith that the young man will one day wind up a kindly old socialist. No sarcasm.

Yep. That’s a common one that shows up in r/hermancainawards. Then again the same folks use tech they don’t understand to say they won’t get vaxxed with things they don’t understand.

So he is going to be fine, overall. I know it is still worrying as he is your son. But he will be fine. Hang in there and best wishes for the speediest of recoveries.

I only very recently found all the Kevin Hart/Snoop summer olympic clips. Tears of laughter from me. If they wind up doing some Winter Olympics somebody let me know.

The Miseducation of Texans can’t be far behind
Same, if I'm honest. Nice house, btw. Also, didn't mean to completely derail thread. My point is while there are great reasons to go live somewhere else, if one is moving primarily for political reasons I'm not sure just leaving Texas is going far enough. Edit: Although legal weed, established mail in voting, and a mostly (mostly) nut free State legislature is kind of nice.

I'm not actually counting on being 'able' to retire. But at some point the ageism will catch up to me I'm sure. I should probably get back to working on my Spanish (wife is fluent). Or seemingly Portuguese. Portugal seems to be making a 'retire here' push lately.

The Miseducation of Texans can’t be far behind
I have posted it too many times but I left Texas at the tail end of 2019 having lived there all my life. Left Austin specifically. I chose Bend, OR and put a bid in on a house exactly when Covid started shutting everything down. At the time we panicked because plenty were predicting a housing crash. Instead prices have shot up so much I couldn’t afford to buy the house we are in. I love it here, and am grateful every day for the life I have. There are some “but’s.” You will find it is harder to make good friends. You don’t have the shared history of your long time friends to lean on. Sure, you can make acquaintances. But deep friendships? Challenging, and Covid didn’t help. I am lucky in that I consider my nuclear family my best friends. But still, would be nice to have a pal or two to really hang out with. If you are moving for political reasons, well yeah Texas is awful. But there is plenty of crazy/stupid everywhere. And that State government you might be OK with is an election cycle or two from changing. Also, the Supreme Court is going to seriously wreck this country over the next few years, imo. So there won’t be a place to hide. Texas weather was maybe a bigger factor for me than politics at the time. While I love it here, I am have no idea where we go when retirement age hits. I would look heavily at stable governments with universal health care. I am pretty terrified of some health misfortune bankrupting my family one day.

Yeah, why should he hold his breath when it’s just like the flu? Besides he just needs to put some disinfectant up his body and shine an ultraviolet light on himself and he’ll be fine.

If you only saw that from one guy, then we'll just agree to disagree. I'm not going to quote all the posts here. It was an admitted mistake on my part to even enter the thread.
