HNT 274: Road Rage. Gramnesia. iPad Kids. Dating. Barred Owls. DnD.

People drive stupidly. It angers me. So I take a pill for that. It isn’t safe to road rage right now.

Is it just human nature to forget the bad parts of the past so we can keep having little snot goblins? It must, or we’d be extinct. I cut parents a lot of slack. I can’t relate. But they are all struggling to get their kids noses out of the iPad. Our little guy will do ANYTHING to get back on for another hour. That’s addiction. I bought the last Hellfire Club Stranger Things Dungeons and Dragons box set. We’re going to see if we can pry his nose out for a few hours. He seems interested, and I’d love to Dungeon Master again.

I can’t imagine trying to date right now. The expectations being set on ticktock are huge red flags for narcissism. The chasm between young men and young women has to close eventually, right?

There have been jokes in media about saving the spotted owl for as long as I can remember. Culling hundreds of thousands of barred owls because they compete better, using shotguns at a time of day when they’re most vulnerable, isn’t the good guy environmentalist move they seem to think it is. Let evolution work.
