You're making slides for 10-15 hours a day, that you then present to directors/the board of corporations. They don't care what you made but they still need your 'work' so they can push their own political agenda in their firm without losing face cus the 'consultants' recommended it.

Why is everyone always so happy after they quit their job at a big 4?💀

How come 3G used to be enough signal to do anything, and now if you're "only" on 4G LTE, you're basically on dial up internet and can't make a call.

@willchen500 The EU is asleep with regards to every tech and AI related and it's sad to see. Everything gets regulated to death here it seems and moves absurdly slow. they are still trying to figure out if they shouldn't have build an EU equivalent of M365, to be less dependent on US tech

I once talked to a Mistral researcher who told me that even internally everyone just uses Claude Code or Codex. I asked him how does the company survive given that it's models are so far from the frontier and he told me that Mistral hovers up contracts with all the major EU enterprises like Airbus and BMW. Likely with French government backing. It is remarkable that the Germans and the English are letting the French get away with this. It seems both countries are too caught up with their own domestic issues. If there were actual competition like in the Chinese ecosystem I imagine EU AI sovereignty might be somewhat of a realistic prospect.

I feel the same anger every time I hear this on TV. Pensioners paid National Insurance for decades, thinking it was their future security, not some optional benefit. Why always attack them first instead of reforming the system for those who’ve never paid in? It’s heartbreaking seeing hardworking older people struggle while money flows elsewhere. We need real change, not more broken promises

It really winds me up when someone is asked on the TV how we can cut benefits & the first thing they say is scrap the Triple Lock. For starters it should not be called a benefit as pensioners have worked really hard all their lives for a measly £12k Secondly why do they never talk of cutting it for the people who have never done a days work in their lives & they receive far more. It’s disgusting the way pensioners are the first people they go after. Rant over but it just winds me up the unfairness of this system.

@CyberEllen1994 @scottygb I was more referring to what most of the kids in the girls' age bracket watch on social media these days and its mainly brainrot. Of course there's also good info to be found on social media about science and books, for example. So no it's not ALL garbage, but I didn't say that

@themaskedscribe @scottygb If you think it rots your brain completely, the question is is do you have a rotten brain, do you not use social media, or are you a bot account?

@freeWorld2 @__Injaneb96 In the Netherlands it's like €0-€385 out of pocket for surgeries, depending on deductible. College tuition not more than €2.6k a year. The same would be tens or hundreds of thousand of dollars in the US.

Americans have really become desensitized to how good they have it. During my summer internship in Germany in 2018, I learned that the hard way. If you forgot to buy groceries on Saturday, you were out of luck, everything shut down on Sundays, so you’d go hungry until Monday. Even during the week, if you left work a little late and missed the 8 p.m. cutoff, every grocery store in town was already closed. On top of that, the food in the small town where I lived (Saarbrücken) was pretty terrible. After that experience, I moved to the U.S. for grad school and I was genuinely mind-blown. The abundance, convenience, and quality of everything felt almost unreal by comparison.

World Cup tourists fall in love with middle America — raving about Waffle House at 1 a.m., Buc-ee's gas stations, and strangers driving them to stadiums in the rain. Oxford Economics expects 1.24 million international visitors for the tournament, and their viral posts are showcasing a side of the country most foreign media never covers.

@sourberryvi It's genuinely terrifying. At the office SCREEN. At home SCREEN. During lunch breaks SCREEN. That's why it's good to have daily walks in nature without any devices close to you. Breath in... and out...

@Polymarket Of course this is heavily state dependent but still the general trend is real: young people (starters) can't get a decent house anymore due to insane rising costs. This has to be solved. It probably sucks having to live with 10 roommates in a small place in the near future.

Numbing yourself with entertainment let's you forget your problems for a little while. But eventually, you must face the issues head-on and overcome then.
