Episode 985 – Guys, Keep Doing This!

Democrats just can’t get over Trump. This may lead them to be unemployed in a couple of years.

I have another story about why you should home school your child.

And do you have a lot of apps, pictures and e-mails on your phone? You must have a mental disorder.

Good Idea

This is one of the dumber takes from Katie Hobbs, the governor of Arizona.

Home School Your Children!

According to the Post Millennial:

A current St. Helens High School teacher and a former teacher at the Oregon school have both been arrested on sex abuse charges after a months-long investigation. Students at the high school have criticized the school board for allowing the current teacher to continue teaching despite the allegations and investigation.

46-year-old Eric Stearns was arrested in St. Helens on Tuesday and is a current teacher at the school, and 64-year-old Mark Collins, who is retired, was arrested on Tuesday in Beaverton, according to KGW8.

I Guess I’m Nuts

According to the New York Post:

Does this ring a bell?

If your phone contains thousands of photos you have to swipe through to find what you need or your phone storage is always full because you’re reluctant to delete anything, even unread emails, you may be a digital hoarder.

Hoarding disorder — which is often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder and is believed to affect about 2.5% of Americans — is defined as persistent problems parting with possessions even if they have little or no value.

Digital hoarding is characterized by the excessive accumulation of digital files like emails, photos, texts or memes. The smartphone user may feel emotionally attached to the computer data and struggle to organize or delete it, leading to stress and anxiety.

“It has to do with the fear of needing this information at some point in the future and yet not having access to it and not knowing where to find it,” Dr. Emanuel Maidenberg, a clinical professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine, told CNN last week.

So how do you know if you have a problem? Researchers have identified four types of digital hoarders.

First are “collectors,” who have a well-organized system of files and don’t get easily overwhelmed.

Next are “accidental hoarders,” who don’t mean to save unnecessary data but don’t know how to manage it.

There are also “hoarders by instruction,” who keep data on behalf of their company and don’t have personal ties to it, and “anxious hoarders,” who emotionally preserve information just in case they need it later.

Experts gave three tips to CNN for managing and purging digital clutter from your life.

Recent research found that the average smartphone user has around 80 apps installed on their phone but only uses about 30 a month.

Delete unused apps, unsubscribe from unnecessary newsletters and notifications and clear your inbox of unread or unimportant emails.

The average American spends roughly seven hours online every day.

Curtailing your email and social media usage and scheduling “digital detox” days can reduce stress, enhance focus and even improve sleep.
