I wake up in the body of someone else with the same residue of Cheetos in my mouth as the other person ate before bed? Seems like a lot of effort

I had no idea about any of this, thanks! Never thought a thread about prime video would teach me world geography lol
Anxiety about the future is not an anxiety disorder. If almost 2 out of 3 Gen z has anxious intrusive thoughts so bad that they cannot go to school, work, have any kind of healthy interpersonal relationships, etc then the article would have a point, but I don't think that's the case. I have more faith in the next generation than that.
I know things are bad and folks are rightly apprehensive about the future, but that is not an anxiety disorder. Anxious thoughts doesn't mean you have a disorder, it means you are alive and aware of your surroundings.
Some of this next generation will turn their distress about the future into eustress that motivates them to fix it (as long as they don't give in to defeatest takes like in this article).
The 90s kid in me yearns for a phone with Fm radio, headphone jack, IR blaster, stylus, memory card slot, slide out keyboard and one of those click on projectors the Motorola phones used to have. I would call it the Donatello and it would be radical.
There is no way the average American will ever be able to comprehend anything more complicated than "my tribe" vs "not my tribe"
Also ranked choice voting got NYC Mayor Eric Adams. The election took way longer than it should have and they ended up with the "centrist"candidate that should have never gotten elected and disappointed both sides
Bro I see things on my Google photos frame from even 10 weeks ago and am like holy crap I totally forgot we did that. Life is so busy and so often shitty, it really is nice to get reminders that at least every now and then I made a memory that wasn't so bad. That's what the photos, even the lamest posed ones, do for me.
They will verbally jerk off Ronald Regan for "outspending the USSR into dust" and then act like Ukraine Aid doesn't do the exact same thing
Guess who's going to stop playing 20% for tips now that I don't have to subsidize a subhuman wage?
Yes, wages need to proportionally keep up with the rate of inflation, otherwise you are literally getting paid less to do the same work every year.
I think by that point ChatGPT would be more like Apollo, keeping the knowledge of humanity. I feel like one of the more corporate AIs will go full HADES, I'm thinking Bard. It will get a mysterious signal from space that switches it's core protocol from "don't be evil" to "be evil."
My mind immediately went to a horizon zero dawn like dystopia where the Mozilla AI is the only thing left protecting humans from various malevolent AIs bent on consuming the human race
Roaring 20s are back baby!
