The platforms might be the difference between crazy and crazier, but nobody is going from normal to psychotic because of YT.

"But I follow thousands of people" I was wondering why someone would feel this way until I got to that line! Why would you follow thousands of people if "noise" bothers you? I think most people like their social media a

We're not doing this anymore, dude. We all agreed on that years ago.

100% - I don't think this article responsibly differentiated between the ideas of boundary-setting and control. The author (I think ) actually means to say that we should try and make kids anti-fragile by letting them make choices and

That's a pretty dramatic take. Social media use in general probably declines with age, and although I'm not sure how you'd quantify it, I bet that using social media primarily as a form of social proofing declines even quicke

Unfortunately people are really bad at assessing scale, so they forget that there are always going to be people who "have to" do this kind of job. Always. The goal should be to give people the choices to not end up this way. It is

This job sounds shitty but have you ever spoken to someone in a domestic role? A postal employee? A trucker? A janitor at your office building? Kitchen staff at a restaurant who do not even have time to take a piss without dropping the ball

TL;DR: Unlike other types of leaders (eg. Presidents), good CEOs consistently set destinations, and align new people towards those destinations, but don't micromanage the means by which their team gets there. Except for some times, whe

People have extremely naive perceptions of how taxes are used. It shocks me. The "throw tax money at it" attitude towards problems, especially in cities where people are reasonably wealthy, is very lazy.

The city already spends a ton of money on the issue - clearly the government just isn't great at putting that cash to use. So I don't think throwing more money at the problem will help. Truthfully the answers to the problem may ma

I lived in SF for many years and fully absorbed the culture, and wow, getting out was a huge wake-up call. The bubble is extreme. Outside, streets colored by actual human shit, people living in extreme poverty, other people walking over sle

Interesting read. Sounds like some inefficient government bodies grappling with complicated software that they dropped tons of money on without fully understanding. And now they're using the insights from that software in a way that do

Sage? GoCardless? Coinbase? Etsy? A platform that pays out specifically for nsfw content (like pornhub)? Hatreon, as many have mentioned? If no available alternatives suit, and there is a big demand for something different, someone passiona

This letter reflects very poorly on the writer(s). You would think Patreon is the difference between life and death for them (they basically say as much). You would think that without Patreon, nobody would be interested in their creations.

Ugh, I watched the video, jesus the host might be the least self-aware person who's ever been asked to host anything. I was unreasonably annoyed listening to him. Anyway I want to share something, made this throwaway account specifical
