The what we learned in the primaries, you had a tremendous vote of the under 30, which is really a national phenomenon. They're highly energized. It started as a political movement that was anti-Trump.It's now further energized by socialism, income equality and the situation in the Middle East, Gaza. But my point to the under 30 is, look, I agree with your statement of the problems. Yes, affordability is a major issue. Yes, the your rent is a major issue.But the solutions being offered by Assemblyman Mamdan ...

În al doilea rând, m am gândit foarte mult la temă, mai ales că este Lemon and Suits, cum am putea la un moment dat s o îmbrăcăm în ceea ce înseamnă viață reală, emoțională și relații personale. Și recunosc că ultimii doi ani de zile au fost pentru mine un catalist emoțional și profesional și mi se pare că este cel mai bun moment să transmit asta către voi. Și prezentarea mea se numea la modul în care vremță dulce, dar nu ne dăm seama cât de mult rahat trebuie s ...

[Applause] Have you ever felt lonely in a room full of people. Well, I have. And it wasn't because I was actually alone, but because I wasn't being myself.I was wearing something trendy, something that everybody seemed to love except me. I felt good, proud even, until I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and thought, "I hate this thing. Why am I even wearing it?" That moment made me realize something. Sometimes the pressure to fit in can make us forget who we really are.And that's what I want to talk ...

Uh, nor was I in Texas personally rescuing people from the Texas floods when they happened.Also, just so you know, I do not have a long lost dau ...

Technology & Addiction Concerns - The internet's addictive nature is difficult to reverse, resembling a moving train [1] - Innovations in tech, particularly FAANG companies, monetize addictive behaviors like social media and doomscrolling [1] - These companies' profits from addiction have significantly driven stock market returns [1] - Reduced consumption of these products could negatively impact the economy [1] - There are concerns that addiction to LLMs (Large Language Models) will be even worse, with negative effects on brains and society [1] Potential Counterbalances - AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) breakthroughs in robotics, biotech, etc, could improve efficiency [1]

RT ⟠Palis⟠🐍 (@palis)Here’s my take on zoomer and millennial burnout:You’re not burnt out from work, you’re burnt out from pleasure. I worked in tech for 8 years and I saw boomers working boring backend internet tech jobs with 50 hour weeks and 24/7 availability, barely any vacation and they maintained that intensity not for years but DECADES in a row at the same job without getting burnt out, perfectly happy and stableThe reason you’re burnt out is a combination of dopamine overload, attention deficient pro ...

Social media is a huge part of our politics and lives. Whether we like it or not, it has supercharged this cancelling craze partly because the people run these internet companies to profit off of your outrage or what they call rage bait. And it spreads supposed outrage that really might have died down in other eras.Now the calls to cancel people and entertainers have brought their own backlash with conservatives tapping their own round of outrage for the outrage that allegedly went too far. And maybe all th ...
