I’m trying to figure out how we went from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building AI pollution factories in every city.

Um what the... I double taked passing this pub sign today and confirmed it is literally Ecco the Dolphin box art. HELLO @SEGA ???

Interviewer: “Do you have any management experience?” Me:

Remember when people wore a long sleeve tshirt under a short sleeve tshirt and it meant you liked music.

I'm, "video games only worked on channel 3" years old.

“Why don’t you just eat fucking ramen everyday? Just eat peanut butter and ramen for 50 years dumbass and invest all your money into the pico top of the gayest most fragile empire in history you dumbass idiot. Just starve and eat shit and dirt everyday for your entire life and then you can spend $30 on lunch when you’re old and about to die it’s simple. Don’t you know your 20’s are for grinding?? You’re supposed to eat shit for the majority of your life that’s why your ancestors built America. So you could eat shit and fucking die moron.”

@anishmoonka “Excuse me, m’am? U really shouldn’t be walking in the middle of this busy road, u could get hit” “Don’t tell me what to do, that gives me physical pain like the researchers said, lemme live my liiif——“ She ded.

When someone teaches you something you didn't ask to learn, your brain reacts like it's in physical pain. UCLA scientists watched it happen on brain scans in 2003. The same wiring that fires when you stub your toe also fires when someone treats you like you need fixing. Naomi Eisenberger and Matthew Lieberman ran the study and published it in Science. The brain region is the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, which is just the fancy name for your main pain alarm. It doesn't care whether the threat is a hot stove or a friend telling you how to live. A neuroscientist named David Rock built a framework around this in 2008. Five things make the brain feel safe in social moments: status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, and fairness. Take away any of those and the alarm fires. Rock wrote that one of the easiest ways to dent someone's status is to give them advice they didn't ask for. Even hinting that they're doing something wrong is enough. When people are told what to do, they often do the opposite, even when the advice was good. The psychologist Jack Brehm noticed this in 1966, and sixty years of follow-up have confirmed it. The brain is trying to keep your life feeling like your own. Close friends cut each other off with unsolicited advice in about 70% of supportive conversations, often before the friend has even finished explaining the problem. That number comes from a 2016 study by Bo Feng and Eran Magen in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships. The closer the friendship, the worse it gets. And the advice tends to make them more stressed, more depressed, and more lonely, not less. Giving advice gives the giver a sense of power, even when nobody asked for it. Michael Schaerer and his co-authors, working across Harvard, Duke, INSEAD, USC, and Singapore Management, published this in 2018 after four experiments with about 700 people. People who chase power volunteer advice more often than others. Whether the student actually improves is a side effect, if it happens at all. So when you feel the urge to teach somebody who never asked, that urge is mostly about you. You walk away feeling a little more powerful. They walk away feeling like they were just told they can't run their own life. Most uninvited teaching is one person's ego dressed up as kindness.

It's because TVs aren't subsidized by the government. The reason Doritos are so expensive is because, up until recently, people on welfare could get them with SNAP, so PepsiCo could charge whatever they wanted and had no reason to care whether or not you could afford it because their primary clientele were people who were using your tax dollars to buy them. You pay more because someone else is getting it for "free", and by "free", I mean you're paying for it with your taxes. Since the government doesn't buy TVs for people (with your money), TV manufacturers have to price competitively, hence the low TV prices.

Hey guys, why don’t they wanna talk about why I need a hotel in the first place? Karen Bass let my home burn down. Also 6,000 of my neighbors. NBD.

@JamesOKeefeIII Yes, it really is THAT bad.

Just was at Skid Row a couple of weeks ago. All I saw was used drug needles, more homelessness than ever, election petitioners telling people to forge signatures on CA ballot petitions, and violent crime happening in broad daylight. What the hell is going on in LA?

Thank you for doing your part 😂😂😂

I feel like younger people don't realize that the internet wasn't always optimized solely to make you as angry and miserable as possible, and people are having a lot of nostalgia for 2000s internet vibes now because it wasn't like that back then

@OwenShroyer1776 The hits - they JUST - KEEP - COMIN’!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱

Woah, I did not realize this. I will be posting my interview with Dr. Boyle where he first broke the story that Covid was made in a lab.

This is a long term negative though. Raise congressional salaries by like 10x, and make them publish their traders a week before they are executed. It’s much worse when congress just has no clue how markets work.

@wizardofsoho Florida’s version mogs Hollywood

Most immersive and coolest theme park I have ever been to, wow the Mario world is legit insane ! Might give away a trip or two to this for weekly Wizdom members damn

We've got an Epstein update: zero arrests. But at least all Epstein files from 9/11 are being withheld from the public (probably b/c there's nothing interesting to see). And aliens didn't work so Mexico is the new DISTRACTION. Please divert your attention accordingly!

@CloudlessJeff @Crazymoments01 Why would they stop posting when they keep getting millions of views? Making tons of $$ off posting AI slop and its fulfilling its dystopian purpose

@Crazymoments01 Stop posting fake ass idiotic stupid ai shit.

A staff member walks casually near the MRI safety zone. Suddenly, their keychain is ripped from their pocket, flying straight into the powerful MRI coil. The entire event is caught in dramatic, overhead surveillance footage.

@barkmeta @NoLimitGains The Federal Reserve thats how

@NoLimitGains No one can sell a house. No one can afford a house either? How is this even fkn possible?

🚨 Google searches for “can’t sell house” just hit an ALL-TIME HIGH. Higher than 2008. Higher than COVID. Higher than anything we’ve ever seen. We all know what that means…
