  • I graduated college in 2019 and most of the people I went to school with didn’t find work or related work. My gf has been looking for accounting work for the past 3 years or so? I keep hearing about the whole AI issue and how that’s making it hard for companies and people to find each other. I also keep reading about people with masters degrees, unable to find jobs, so that’s kinda scary.

    I was lucky to find work, but it also terrifies me that if I leave, I’m going to end up with something less stable or harder for me to handle.

    It really feels like the whole system is messed up. Makes me a little jealous/fearful when I see people who are able to job hop for promotions.

    Sorry my thoughts probably aren’t very coherent today






  • But they spent far too long mysticizing and building up the epstein files and importantly it reflected a value that they collectively held - to protect the children.

    This is the part that mind boggles me. I think the issue is that I keep thinking with broad strokes rather than MAGA as sub groups.

    Generally speaking, I don’t think Maga cares about children overall, but some must.

    -Education cuts

    -school lunch cuts

    -People against “hand outs” like food stamps

    -The general American Healthcare system

    -People who are anti abortion who then don’t support adoption or who wouldn’t adopt a child themselves etc.

    I just find it so weird that this is the line they draw when Trump has been so outwardly creepy for decades.

  • I’m not sure why but I’m able to disable them on mobile. The tricky part is guessing what the original track is. I’m on YT premium which might be why?

    I think the ideal functionality would be having (ORIGINAL) next to the audio track that isn’t dubbed and have that set to the default setting.

    I think if they can get the dubbing correct and actually working as intended, that would be incredible for opening up cultures for everyone. I think crossing language barriers is really cool.



  • I think that’s really interesting. I often think about these moments of community/humanity. The closest I can get is if I have a nice conversation with a neighbor if I have the time. Or finding like-minded people online to chat with.

    Smartphones became common place in my last year of high-school, but even at that point mobile data plans weren’t large enough to cause a major impact, but community gathering spots were already gone by that point where I live, so school was the community place. Once I graduated, that was gone. Very weird time to grow up. I’m meeting a lot of people in their early 20’s now who don’t even have the luxury of remembering those simpler times.

    It feels super odd because it seems reminiscent of old stories passed down from generations. I hope that this trend ends positively in the future and that the future youth remember these terrible years as a paragraph in a history book and how we overcame these issues.
