Along with the prescriptions of other non-Dr non-commenters, I'd add dogs. Mine piled on top of me during last winter's unpleasantness, and made it less unpleasant.

Even worse, IRL I am a practicing oncologist. (One of these days I'll be good at it ;-) ) When people find out I'm and MD they immediately want me to consult about every little thing. When I tell them I specialize in oncology and that for a small fee I'll amputate it they back away. I'd rather talk about other things. I'd rather not go to parties or gatherings at all, but the Mrs like those things. I got her down to only one pre-Xmas party away from our home and we would host none.

Even after all this time, Trump doesn't get it. The judiciary, Congress, they aren't his employees. He doesn't say, "Git 'er done!" and then walk away assuming it will get done. They are his co-equals. I doubt if he's ever had to consider that concept.

Common sense? Regular contact with reality? You can't explain that.
