@ShaanVP Try heypi.com

who's building the best AI therapist / mental health coach?

@Tennesseine Technically, you’re an immigrant now. 🫶🏼

At this point I’m no longer saying I’ve “moved” my family to Europe from the United States. I’m saying I’ve *evacuated* them. We’re not expats. We’re refugees from a country that’s lost its collective mind.

@awilkinson @jwmares How can we get in??

Over time, between Signal, iMessage and WhatsApp, my texts have become overwhelming and something that cause me a lot of stress. Then my friend @jwmares told me about Texts.com. Basically, it combines all of your texts from the various platforms into one spot, then gives you a @Superhuman-like interface to pound through them. I no longer get stressed out watching the badges on my phone go crazy, I just pound through them a few times a day. Absolutely love it. Highly recommend: texts.com

Texts.com, can anyone invite me to it? cc @TextsHQ

"Most people die at 25 and aren't buried until they're 75" Why? 4 reasons and solutions:

@raknak @FluentInFinance Agree completely. This was an unexpected benefit.

@mac_ling @FluentInFinance Though this was not consensual in my case. (To be clear, I consented to having the kids just not to the second order effects)

Has anyone had success turning themselves into a "morning person"? How'd you do it? What are your best tips?

I've been using Balance to improve my sleep, stress, mood, and more. Want to try it, too? They're offering a free year to all new members. balanceapp.com/referral-text

@ourobororoboruo Reformer vs. revolutionary.

This meme is worth reposting every time I see it

@KristieHang Strangely, we’re less bothered having them in purgatory. What does that say about the Catholic idea of purgatory? Less of a nuisance for God? 😂

@KristieHang That to say, I don’t deny those people either; they just end up as a list of people who will live in approval limbo (and also can’t request to be connected again).

@KristieHang I only approve people I’ve met and had a conversation with before. The power in LinkedIn is seeing where your connections connect to others - if you can’t ask those people to help you connect then the bridge is useless.

@angryasianman ChatGPT could have written a more complex character.

COME ON. Seriously? This fucking casting call for Magnum PI…

@jsparkblog Thanks for doing it differently and leading the way. I don’t go to church anymore but what you highlighted is one of the main reasons I don’t. The church is not a place a healing, but one of judgment. You’re either in or out. That wasn’t the place of love I thought it would be.

A few years ago, a pastor took me out to coffee to tell me about his church. He said two things that assured I would never attend. The first. As I had been a pastor, I told him how hard it was for me to write sermons until I learned it was a way to love people. He disagreed. ➡️

@mattxiv And we wonder why men feel emasculated…

just learned about the iowa husband calling competition

@BrianZahnd But I find most churches in America (and many around the world) can’t find their way to that eschatology. What can be done to illuminate this more clearly?

@KristieHang This is like Hong Kong prices,
