Many people above the age of 35 hate TikTok almost entirely because young people like it, the same as (in the past) video games, rock and roll music, etc. Young people don’t vote at the rate older people do, and they won’t in this election

Let’s say Meta started really pushing stuff to encourage teens to not join the military. What then?

The market for NCIS is men with gray hair. I would guess most of that comes from women seemingly really liking stuff like Dateline, murder mystery podcasts, etc.

It’s pretty common in my rural area for people to move to a city after college and then come back (or go somewhere else rural) in their 30s or 40s. People often want to raise kids in the type of environment they grew up in.

I’ve heard it argued that speed limits as a whole could in fact increase fatalities. I believe it might be true in places with icy/snowy weather. Many people try to reach that magic number on the sign no matter what the conditions are.

My colds typically last 3 weeks with about 7-10 days of them being full-on. I also have an (obviously) terrible immune system and get quite a few per year. Obviously it’s not doable to stay away from school that much, and I only did when I

Any individual stock can tank to 0 as well. Enron would be a good example (fraud), though I see you at least had months to pull some of your funds out. Hell, even an index fund won’t be safe if there’s another depression. COVID 2: this tim

There’s a game on my Quest - I don’t remember which one - where when you hold the controllers up close to your face it pops up the controls, with arrows pointing to each button. That should be all but standardized, other than exceptions in

I was a professional photographer until late last year. Photoshop’s new AI tools are an absolutely incredible timesaver. Jobs that would have taken 30+ minutes (and probably wouldn’t look great) can now take 30 seconds. It was kind of amazi

I was a photographer until late last year and there were many weeks I spent 40 hours+ in Photoshop and I don’t remember a single crash. I’m on Windows, for what it’s worth.

I don’t think you can send images to friends on Xbox from a PS5, no? How is that different?

I live in Minnesota and I hear gunshots regularly. I’m in a rural area though, so it’s not, you know, people killing each other. It’s hunting/practicing/plinking.

Yeah. Every time Emad has talked about their business model changes I've always thought "...that's it?" I personally think they're missing some low hanging fruit, though I suppose it might be in the name of "s

Vaccines. Many of them, seemingly unrelated. Not to delay, but to prevent. I wonder how that links in with this finding.

The thing is I think you city people can't see the forest for the trees. Yes, on a city level zoning/permitting can be an issue. However, I live in the middle of nowhere. The nearest town to me has a population of 600. Homes th

People in our country don't deserve a lower standard of living because other people want to live here either. A country/government exists to help its own people. Where's the line? How many people should be allowed, and of w

No, although that also would help (though I don't think the downside is worth it). I'm talking about people up north realizing that massive amounts of immigration isn't exactly great for home/rental pricing. "Build

The other way that everyone outside of Canada seems to ignore is get a handle on the demand side of things.

They’re only good investments because supply and demand being off balance, and those houses are still supplying housing (and rent needs to compete with mortgages).

I take stimulants for idiopathic hypersomnia and ironically they give me ADHD like symptoms. It’s much harder to concentrate on a single task when I’m on them.

Home prices in Canada and US have been climbing at insane rates pretty much everywhere, including rural areas. People in cities tend to ignore market force because they’re only focused on their city.

I would like to point out that’s way better than what most people did over the course of human history, certainly including a lot of those Native Americans themselves.

Actually getting over 100f is decently rare in Minnesota. I’d guess most summers we do, but not for extended periods. We often get a few weeks where the high is in the upper 90s. However, our humidity can get extremely high - basically as b
