    A Thought On News - Making Every Problem Your Problem

    Was listening to a podcast recently that sorta hit on this. Basically the answer is you’re not busy enough. Immerse yourself in something productive.

    So after I read all the hot takes from my favorite follows I can jump to For You and I’ve got some have free porn feed to me. Media genius.

    "Difficult" situation?

    I didn’t read this as “life is difficult, it sucks” but more of a “Jessica Alba or Scarlett Johansson” difficult.

    What About Pop Culture Have You Just Stopped Paying Attention To? Or If Not Pop Culture, What Have You Ditched?

    Thats probably part of the problem, you're searching amongst who's cool or in right now, which is driven by the least common denominator of the masses. Unless you're stuck on needing a White Snake or Def Leppard vibe there is a crapton of great music that's been made over the last 10-20 years.

    Talk About Alcohol

    Work travel is a killer. Normal life I’m probably 4-5 per week. Work travel week is probably 8-10

    2023 College football thread - That's A Wrap

    Think it’s a combination of opponent quality matters and if you’re stud qb is gonna get hurt dont let it happen with one game left. 🤷‍♂️

    2023 College football thread - That's A Wrap

    Texas calling card, a win vs Alabama wouldn’t look as great vs a 2 loss team.

    2023 College football thread - That's A Wrap

    Deserves would be an undefeated FSU imo. Best would be UM, Wash, Bama, GA (although I’d consider Texas here)

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    You’re assuming no inflation, which impact compounds. For all the folks planning to retire at 55, unless a date with the bottom of the Golden Gate Bridge is planned at age 70 seems like the math will be problematic. Does anyone want to bank on 3% inflation for the next 20+ yrs?

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    Seems way too high to me unless you intended to not need it in 10yrs. Continuing some part time work and drawing a decent amount less would seem like a more certain / less risky path.

    The “I want to retire soon” thread

    When I was in my 30's I had hoped to retire as early as 54, maybe 57. I'll be 52 in March and just can't imagine retiring in a few years. Its not so much a financial thing but it just doesnt feel right in terms of being in the prime of effectiveness in my career (magnified by peak earnings...

    So weird, do you actually use twitter...the algo actually has to observe your behavior to be valuable. At this point I don't even follow some people who's content I like because they now constantly show up in my "for you". There is stuff in my "for you" that I don't find useful as well, but I...

    Right, what I’m saying is that I believe that actually occurs, but to make it mean anything they would have to force retweet those retweets so people see the change…otherwise it’s a tree falling in the woods that nobody hears.

    Technically if you were to go back to that retweet you received a week later I believe the community note would be there. But practically speaking thats not how people use the service, you don't go back to old tweets you got last week to see if they were modified. I think the only way around...

    Yes. Although if you were retweeted something by someone you follow and it was noted after that time then the damage is done. One thing I appreciate is that for posts I've liked, if it has been noted I get a notification that it has been noted. Thats happened to me twice.

    I would like to see posts that are community noted de-monetized, think that would help not make s***posting as valuable. I'd say go even further but then I think to your point it then gets weaponized.

    Yah, don't like what they did with "verified" status. But in practice, I don't have any issues identifying accurate accounts (its not like I have 12 Elon Musk tweets in my feed from imposters that I have to figure out). If someone is legit, they have the followers to prove it.

    This captures my view on pre/post Musk difference in experience. Particularly for COVID, there were many dissenting views suppressed and other views boosted. In terms of platform experience, its frigging posts on a message board, I don't understand all the UX changes people are referencing...
