i’m sorry but every single person refuting my point r behaving exactly like the “i don’t do small talk talk to me abt philosophy or particle acceleration” crowd i promise it’s not gonna kill u to ask the 20 year old u work with how their classes r going
mc cracker@chowder94

“i’m 30+ what would i even talk to a 20 year old abt” literally anything bro that is also an adult. i think u guys r spending too much time on the internet.

When it comes to the adoption of technology, social stigma really does play a role. It’s hard to see many people being eager to wear them if Meta’s smart glasses really start being called “pervert glasses.” “Glasshole” made Google Glass sound bad, “pervert glasses” sounds worse.
Techlore@TechloreInc

Meta's glasses earned the nickname "pervert glasses" for a reason. A journalist wore them and said they made her START THINKING like a creep. The privacy implications go way deeper than you'd expect, and I covered the problems in our latest video: youtu.be/gGliQhv1QCU

If I have to pay $7.99 to rent a 30 year-old movie off Amazon when I have a Prime subscription, then we should just reopen Blockbuster. I’d rather have their employees judge my life choices.

every non-pet friendly business should be asking the two questions you’re allowed to ask under the ADA (“is this a service animal?” “what service does it provide?”) whenever they see a dog. and no, emotional support isn’t an ADA protected task

literally everyone knows what the rules are and the scofflaws are taking advantage of the politeness and conflict aversion of the normal population

A student today at my elite university admitted to me today that she took a class so she could work on reading for more than 20 minutes at a time. She can't read. She mainly skims and summarizes, she says and still gets A's. This student is, by professional standards, illiterate. Gonna have high GPA when she graduates. This conversation was had after 6 of 22 students dropped my course because the maximum reading per week in one week was over 100 pages. What people aren't grasping is that this is literally *dangerous*. These people are going to be come doctors, engineers, etc. They are - by any metric - vastly less capable than prior generations. These effects are cumulative over a lifetime. This grade inflation is part of the problem, but not even close to the entirety. And the problem obviously starts in K-12. Students don't know history because, you can't actually become historically literate on the advice of 'never assign more than 30 pages a week'. You can't develop any of the skills that came with literacy. This is, quite honestly, a civilizational catastrophe.

79% of grades at Yale are A-range. Graduating summa cum laude requires a record high GPA OF 3.98.

Personally think this devalues a brand. Anything that suggests a brand is run by non-experts in that space and involves very little effort in the creation or presentation of the product is bad sign for me. Likely just another generic product sourced from random factory.
Jake Baumann@Jake_Joseph

POV: you're a CPG brand spending $15K/month on product photography Meanwhile, Ad Machine just generated all the assets you need from a single iPhone photo. The old way is already dead. Most brands just don't know it yet.

Now that I’m out of journalism, I feel like I can speak the hard truth nobody wants you to hear: The NYT just puts out a really good product and you’ll be smarter about the world than most other people if you read it every day.
Joe Weisenthal@TheStalwart

There's a lot of cope about the NYT only thriving because of recipes and games. The question is: Why was NYT able to build out these non-news revenue streams? It's because the newspaper has an incredible brand, such that it could be extensible.

Fentanyl makes the concrete comfortable to sleep on, but at the moment meth keeps the hunger pains at bay and keeps you awake so you can walk through the snow in the dark desperately trying not to freeze to death. Tonight, fentanyl helps ease the pain from the frost bite.
paris 𑣿@guttphobic

"dont give homeless people money theyll just buy drugs!" ok and? i kind of want them too, alot of drugs used on the streets are to keep them awake to make sure nothing can happen to them while they sleep like rape, being robbed, dying of freezin temps, i want them alive

If I was being unkind I’d say you’re all being deliberately obtuse and bad faith in a way that makes you look like a fucking moron who can’t even watch a medical procedural. But I’m not saying that.

If parents just told their kids "no" to shiny tech and/or implemented parental controls and/or bought dumb phones instead, we would not be in this position right now. Parents are ALREADY IN CONTROL. They've HAD CONTROL. I CANNOT stress that enough.
Arizona House Republicans@AZHouseGOP

Kids are being exposed to harmful content, addictive features, and strangers on social media. Arizona parents are right to be concerned. @AZHouseGOP Majority Leader @MichaelCarbone and @AZSenateGOP Chairman @ShawnnaLMBolick are working to protect kids online, strengthen parents’ rights, and hold social media companies accountable. Arizona Republicans are acting. Watch and share. 👇
