I never really enjoyed his interview style, granted I only watched some of the later episodes but it never really got me. Quite monotone voice and very rehearsed feeling questions.

I'm trying to reduce my car usage for my 40 km daily commute, and it also has helped me a lot in the health department.

So far i'm averaging two or three times a week.

Take a break from social media/news if you can, I know it's not going to solve everything immediately but it might help. I was dealing with a bad streak, and I have quit most social media like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Reddit or only use sanitised media like Lemmy.

There are a lot of good hearts in this world, unfortunately a lot of media are more likely to cover the rot.

Nickelback is good, especially the early music. Imagine Dragons is similar in that they both are kinda hated because their music is really mainstream and accessible, which is in my opinion a pretty weird reason to hate the bands.

Technology for new generations is really dumbed down, unless you want to learn and get into the weeds deliberately. Millennials know how to work around multiple operating systems and generally also learned how to troubleshoot (of course, there are a lot of millennials who aren't interested in tech as well). Zoomers will definitely have their own generation specific stuff they will know much better than any other generation.

I like to think every generation has it own knowledge and speciality, and bringing those together is when we as a species grow and advance.

This is exactly the problem LTT is having, thinking they know better then the consumer. If the only metric is value/money then Apple, Ferrari , Hermes, etc... Would not exist.

They really need to take a step back and rearrange their priorities as a company.

Still can’t really see the appeal for these kind of phones, at least with the fold you can have a small tablet at your convenience.

Love the tech, but personally i’m not really convinced.
