Aged Brain Has Less Capacity To Feel Rewards? →

Move to the east side, they said. It’s full of culture and charm and character, they said. You’ll love it, they said.

I guess this neighborhood is charming to a degree, but it’s also a fucking working class neighborhood with a bunch of drunk poor people. White people love feeling courageous.

Consequently I’ve learned a lot over the past six months. Perhaps one day I’ll write a post on those lessons. For now, though, I would simply like to mark the occasion.
May the next six months be as valuable as (if...

10 Things We All Must Figure Out for Ourselves
thresca:
