Ask them to look at their credit card bills or grocery receipts from January 2024 and January 2026. Just compare. If they’re better off, super, vote however you want. If literally everything in their life is apples to apples more expensive in 2 years’ time, like double, let the numbers do the explaining.

Smarter Everyday has only gotten better and better as he has grown in notoriety. Fantastic content, and not beholden to sponsors.

Ah yes, name calling. What a mature way to handle the situation.

You understand that there are a lot of people alive before the internet existed, right? And if this person is relating a story from their childhood, and they’re anywhere over like 35 years old, us old people couldn’t just “go on the internet”.

I miss listening to EITM. Great show, made me laugh everyday. This probably wouldn’t have, but that show is a DMV classic.

Just seems like there is such universal interest in ‘releasing’ them that something should have leaked by now. You hear the argument about the moon landing or other conspiracy theories that it would take so many people colluding to hide the truth it would be impossible not to leak, how many people have access to “the files”, and if there is a vote to release them, who just pushes the button or whatever to make that happen? (And in no way am I suggesting they are not real and only a conspiracy theory, just giving an analogy)

Or the market…

No idea how I’ve never seen this, thanks for sharing.

This looks JUST like my Bella who passed away last Friday. Love your shrimp kitty a little extra for me.

Hate to say it, but just about everyone I know has a junk drawer, myself included. Same as you with the other drawers, organized to the max, but the junk drawer will always be the junk drawer.

Whoa, no red/orange.

I see a character from Cars, a ninja turtle behind a sewer grate, a happy roadrunner and a stocking hung by the chimney with care. I like the colors, not as yellow/orange/red (or black) heavy, more balanced and the green lightens it up a bit. Nice work.

I (personally) like the trend these are taking lately. Nice work.

This is my favorite so far.

This one seems a little darker than most. Everything ok?

I feel your pain, and your post speaks to me almost as if I wrote it. To make it even worse, however, is that I’m now in management for the last two years, and have to put on an even more false front when all I want to do is work. One thing I have gotten better at, is being straightforward. Instead of just dodging around it and trying to let them down easy, just saying “I really need to finish this assignment I’m working on, can we talk about this another time?” Or “hey I appreciate you wanting to tell me about your entire weekend, hour by hour, but I have several things I need to get to working on, we’ll have to chat later” and then just stare at them until they leave. It was uncomfortable at first, but I’ve gotten pretty good at it lately, maybe give it a try?
