Thank you for putting in the work. If your ever in my area I’ll buy you a coffee

I’ve been struggling with this shift too. Tech used to game changing ideas for people, now it’s sole purpose is a vehicle for corporate profits. Tech used to be an exciting Wild West of crazy new ideas and new ways to be creative or play or communicate and share with friends or do less work. Now consumer focused tech is just minor evolutions of current tech launched with billion dollar marketing campaigns, corporate traps to lock you into app addictions or various subscriptions to see stock price increase 0.1%. And I don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Hoping the same thing. But at the moment it seems sloppy and amateurish

Whoa! They look like a very long line of obviously bad decisions. Unwearable. Not even ironically ugly. Like a CEO designed it himself surrounded by a vacuum of yes men.

If future historians ask why the world lost confidence in the USA, it’s this

I’m guessing it is the same elderly white men who are also calling for younger people to be having babies that voted this down.

This is interesting story. So either: you are very observant with amazing attention to detail and the diligence to figure out the details of how things work, or you think dogs pooping are just plain comical. I applaud you for either.

American families are struggling, the millennial generation may never get to participate in the American dream, and THIS is what their President feels needs his attention?

Wait, the band singled out some dude in the crowd of Canadians for wearing a costume as wanting attention? The same band on an elevated stage being very loud and under spotlights? Did they feel threatened that they weren’t the complete center of attention anymore?

Thank you for the comments letting me know the band was dropped from their tour. Live music is amazing and dying at the same time. It doesn’t need wankers like these acts killing it faster.

Last time I was there, Berkeley (the city in the article) has a pretty robust bus system, and the BART trains make getting to the rest of the bay area fairly easy unless you’re out past midnight. This new policy quite is reasonable for that city, IMO, much less so in more rural and suburban car centric cities I suppose.

Antibodies too

University general chemistry introduced all these wonderful rules the universe followed and everything suddenly made sense and all was right with the world. Then organic chemistry spent class after class explaining how it was all BS and how every rule had so many exceptions that they weren’t actually rules anymore, and the walks back from class were gloomy and sullen.

Agree on the lost it’s meaning.

Phew!

Oh WaPo, what happened to thee?

I’m going to be very little help here, I’ve spent a short amount of time working on tangential research, but I don’t think your are going to get answers that will be satisfying, because the molecular/emotional aspects of addiction are INSANELY complicated. Hoping someone can step in with an elegant digestible set of answers for us.

So FBI spent HOW much money to prevent potential acts of minor vandalism? It’s U of M, the sororities inadvertently cause more property damage than these arrested kiddos even had planned.

I very much agree. A more just solution would see settlements from cases such as this should come from the police unions funds, or as you suggested - not from taxpayers.

This article is shit. It’s just long form advertising. Don’t trust any of it.

Wow. Just wow.
