The reason young men donā€™t protest anymore is because they are deeply afraid of being perceived as the crying wojak and not the chad

Whatā€™s the theory on how street protests, which were always coded as a youthful and masculine activity, have somehow become exclusively the domain of post-menopausal women over the past decade?

Girl on the flight home from Cancun playing a trivia game incorrectly answered that the civilization that built Machu Picchu was the ā€œMayaā€ even though she had just spent the previous two hours watching ā€œPaddington in Peruā€

Every three months I look up what tmux does and become confused why people think it is a must have for development

Turns out there is NOT alpha in asking chatGPT to make an image of your girlfriend in the style of Fernando Botero

Iā€™ve recently started being able to get into the jhanas (1 & 2 mostly) and itā€™s lovely but also often not like ā€œmind blowingly intense/enjoyableā€ the way some people seem to describe them Looking for tips on how to deepen these states / ā€œget more out of themā€

Iā€™m mostly following Burbea/Brasington instructions. I think both of them would say to spend more time building concentration/absorption in base practice before switching to jhana. This makes sense and is certainly helpful but I am also..

curious how people who do ā€œlite jhanasā€ (e.g. enter by thinking of a nice memory instead of concentration) develop their jhana Can you really just vibe all the way to the 8th jhana without building concentration? I use the memory technique/metta sometimes but it only goes so far

Watching Challengers (2024) helped me get over my interview performance anxiety and land a job in big tech

I have a big interview in 4 hours but I,m feeling sluggish and my mind feels like mud How do I energize? Iā€™ve drank lots of coffee, splashed cold water on face, light exercise and went for a walk but it doesnā€™t seem to be working

Is sleep tracking tech actually useful? Iā€™m trying to improve my sleep this year and thatā€™s one tool Iā€™ve never tried before Does the data just help you run mini experiments to hone in on what conditions work best for you?

The funniest thing about this is I get tons of reach out from recruiters hiring for these roles looking for passionate, cracked coders Meanwhile itā€™s hard to get an interview for roles looking for an average engineer to put in 35 hours a week

Just ended an interview early after the founder asked if I was excited to work 70 hour weeks Iā€™m done wasting my time interviewing for early stage startups

Itā€™s strange how how hard it is to break free from the ā€œinterviewerā€ script and just tell them itā€™s not a good fit when you know you donā€™t want the job anyway

Once in a lifetime reveal asking my gf if she knew this guy that went to her school, her answering ā€œYeah he is really sweet!ā€ and me telling her that he is the UHC CEO shooter

To be clear she knew him years ago and they werenā€™t close, she just thought he was nice

With all the Claude posting Iā€™m surprised I havenā€™t seen anyone tweet about doing MDMA therapy with Claude as their therapist yet

Damn someoneā€™s going to invent a multimodal LLM MDMA therapy where it observes your body language and talks to you huh Idk why this feels 10x more fucked up than people talking to LLMs for therapy while sober
