It's a brain game. Different skills highlighted. I'm absolutely addicted to it's Train of Thought workout. I'm almost through the various levels, but can't leave it alone. Anyone else?
 
I've tried it but can't say I'm addicted. Heck, I haven't been on the site for a year.
 
I need to check it out. I catch myself arguing with Leftists online which does the opposite.

I don't doubt that.

But here's the thing. And THIS I know. The human brain is designed to think. It's whole purpose is to analyze, dissect, problem-solve, worry something to within an inch of its life. One can either let it try to solve the mundane problems of life, which may include why your sister-in-law is such a jerk... or my side hurts, do I have cancer... or how am I going to pay my car insurance next month... OR!! How to change the switchbacks so that the trains go to the proper stations.

There's been plenty of studies, especially in the protector/protectee field, showing that EITHER we give our brains something to chew on or our brains will drive us NITZ chewing on bull**** that causes us discomfort.

I'm into switchbacks. ;) ;)
