No problem! I get that about the first two, but they're really interesting. Of course It Could Happen Here is fiction, but his stories / predictions ended up having quite a few eerie synchronicities to what happened in the years following its release in 2019. Breaking down collapse is much more analytical and heady than conspiratorial. They talk about stuff like why monocultures crops are bad, the decline in insect population, or like how complicated and poorly understood the financial system is and how that sets us up for instability. Their followup podcast is called Building Up: Resilience. I haven't started it yet, though

Parents man... The other day my dad told me he wanted to watch some new movie because, and this is literally what he said, "it looks violent." I didn't know how to respond. Like, I consume media that has violence in it, but as an adult I'd never watch or play something solely for the fact that some dude beats the shit out of people in it? It's sad.

I dunno what state you live in, but the majority of what you stated isn't true in the vast majority of the country.

They also teach now to use the provided additional set of pads to basically wax the chest.

They make glasses lenses and contact specific for astigmatism. I've got the same problem and have been looking into it. I have found that polarized clear lenses on a non prescription pair of glasses is somewhat helpful.
