    when an old persons mind stops being challenged it dims.

    I hadn’t thought of it that way and you’re definitely on to something. He never has to think about anything. Plus everybody around him is a yes man and it’s the emperor’s new clothes every single day. He could say “poop stain real estate forward” and they’d all smile and agree. He doesn’t even have to use his noodle to grift or do corruption. GOP SCOTUS put him above the law so he can do or say whatever he wants without a worry about the courts.

      Thanking my boss for being a boomer that refuses to switch to digital filing thus keeping my aging brain sharp by having to hand write literally everything.

        I have a notepad on my computer desk where I write now random stuff as it occurs to me. I have terrible insomnia so sometime I forget to convert it all to digital notes before I go to bed. If I don’t - the next day I have to try to figure out what I meant by something that looks like snakeskinfoot. What the heck? My handwriting has gotten so bad I sometimes can’t even read my own writing.

          I mean, you gotta have a bedside notepad for your genius dream ideas.

          How could I live if I didn’t have a way to record my genius ideas such as “car that you don’t have to drive from the backseat” or “bus but for underwater”

              Submarine but for public transit!

              Does anyone else have dreams where they have to drive a car from the backseat? So annoying to try to see and reach around the drivers seat I’m not allowed to sit in for some reason.

                Fancy. My dreams usually irk me. My dreaming subconscious is disappointing. I’m walking along some nondescript road. And then I’m standing in a nondescript room and I’m looking out the window. And I see greenery. Tropical maybe? And then I’m in a place very much like my living room and I’m sitting at what could be my real computer desk looking at a/my monitor. Okay - finally(?!) - maybe I get something good? Nope. Then I wake up.
