Show notes

Tonight’s Think Tank question: I own a house with a friend, but he rarely takes care of his share of the chores, leaves things untidy for weeks, doesn’t do the grocery shopping, etc. He says he doesn’t want to waste his time doing these things and needs the weekends to relax. How do I motivate him to do his share? Be a part of the show by sending your Tell Us One Thing questions, feedback, and requests for advice to questions@taurenthinktank.com. Slash Moo, everybody!

Tauren Think Tank #260: Bragadocious - Feb 16, 2018

Show notes

Tonight’s Think Tank question: I really want to take the leap to be an animator. It’s been my dream to tell stories for a long time. But I’m doubting that I’ll be good enough or that I can make it as an animator. I’m 30 years old. Is it too late for me to change careers? Should I just stay with the “pay the bills” job and be satisfied with that?

Tauren Think Tank #259 - It's a Tie Dad Feb 09, 2018

Show notes

Tonight’s Discussion Topic: As esports becomes more popular, is the divide between esports fans and traditional sports fans widening? Does using “sportsball” as a term for traditional sports make us even for the power struggle and status differences between “jocks and nerds” from when we were kids, or are we just making it worse?

Tauren Think Tank #258 - Putting On The Mask Jan 26, 2018

Show notes

Tonight’s Think Tank question: How can you answer someone asking “Are you okay?” at work when you’re really, really not okay? My mom is dying of cancer and she’s been given days to live at this point. Unfortunately, life still has to keep going on, but I’m having a much harder time being my normal chipper self at work and coworkers have noticed. What can you say to someone who asks if you’re okay when you’re very much not?

Show notes

Tonight’s Think Tank question: I’ve had a huge number of medical issues that have left me feeling broken and not the same anymore. I’ve pulled away from my friends and family and my mind is my enemy.

Show notes

Tonight’s Think Tank question: My aging father has mental impairment, and he was recently evicted from his assisted living home for inappropriately touching another resident.

Show notes

Tonight’s discussion question: when the holiday season isn’t so merry and bright for you, and why that’s so very okay.

Tauren Think Tank #253 - Best Elevator Boss Ever Dec 08, 2017

Show notes

An update on why we missed the show last week, and news about this weekend’s Minnesota Meetup! Tonight’s discussion question (from a listener letter): I’m having a lot of RL troubles, one thing after another and it's getting me down. I let money slip away over the years and now that I need it, it’s not there. I just wish I hadn't made bad financial decisions when I was young, and had some now to spare.

Tauren Think Tank #252 - Hashtag Holiday Goals Nov 24, 2017

Show notes

Recording a day early for Thanksgiving! We’re giving thanks and enjoying the chat room this evening! Tonight’s discussion question (from a listener letter): I was listening to a TED Talk podcast about making the choice not to have children, and how society reacts to women who choose not to be childless. I have a wonderful partner and neither of us have felt strongly about wanting to have kids. But everyone says, “Oh just wait - you’ll change your mind about that.” How do I come to terms with being a woman who doesn’t want to have kids?
