  • Wow. Huge topic. And it depends on a ton of things. And I definitely don’t feel like I’ve got it all figured out myself.

    If you’re young and just for the first time having to manage your own affairs rather than depend on parents to help with that, then self-help kind of stuff might well be a fine place to start. (Just avoid Jordan Peterson.) If you’re older and feel like you’ve had the time needed to develop those skills and still don’t have them, it’s likely there’s something deeper going on that might benefit from therapy.

    I personally cared for my ailing grandmother for a long time. And that shit’s hard work, and takes a lot of time. In the process, I let a lot of things go by the wayside like yardwork, home repair, and organization. Now that she has passed, I find myself with a lot of remedial work to catch up on. I feel like I’m making progress. It’s frustrating and slow, but it is progressing and that’s the important part.






  • Star Trek really ought to explore that more – assimilated non-humanoids. Spaceborne species like gormaganders, maybe changelings, 8472 could make another appearance and this time the borg can assimilate them.

    There was a Star Trek: Voyager themed arcade shooter (the kind that had a lightgun that you fired at the screen) that had this guy in it. Definitely went a little off canon, but that was a good thing, I think. They called that assimilated hulk dude a “Chaotic Assimilation” and explained in some of the lore that his physiology was resistant to assimilation and he was kindof half-assimilated or some shit. That was awesome stuff.
