(4)I'm assuming people are doing this because it's been shown to increase views. I'm guessing it makes the average viewer less likely to turn away, because they feel a sense of urgency.

Understand that this is one of the ways in which you are being subtly manipulated. Notice.

(3)I know this is done intentionally. No one actually talks like this. Once I started noticing it, it's become glaringly obvious and I see it as problematic. It's unnatural, uncomfortable and stressful.

(2)They cut all of the pauses between sentences. I can understand removing stuff like "um, uh", but the natural pauses between sentences are gone.

(1) Observation: There appears to be a tendency in videos, particularly when it's a "selfie" type video (just one person talking about... whatever) where they edit the videos to remove their breathing.

(2)but that we acquire those contrary values through "brainwashing". People do things that are contrary to their survival all the time. I don't know if I'm missing the point the guy was actually trying to make or not.

(1)The claim was that everyone has "values" that are intrinsic to being human. Although they weren't mentioned, I assume it's stuff like... needing to love and be loved. My reaction to the statement was that we are capable of having values that are contrary to our survival, but

Thoughtful Question: "Is the human brain the most complex thing we know of?" - taken from an interview I'm watching on Diary of a CEO with Jordan B. Peterson

He claims it is. I think this isn't true. The most complex "thing" we know of is the full expression of all that is. Discuss.

Thoughtful Question: "Can we create our own values?" - taken from an interview I'm watching on Diary of a CEO with Jordan B. Peterson

He claims we cannot. My initial take is that we CAN, through self brainwashing. If we choose to do so. Discuss.

Yo... follow me :p

Something that is truly confounding to me. Folks who are obviously very bright, but they support really stupid things (like Trump, for example). Mental disorders can draw people to unhealthy things, but how do otherwise intelligent people support obviously toxic, irrational things?

No such thing as a free toilet: Starbucks reverses open bathroom policy The new guideline is a reversal of a 2018 open-door policy that was implemented after two Black men, who had not ordered anything, were arrested at a Philadelphia store.

As a business owner, I can understand the concern, but as more and more businesses turn to the policy of requiring someone to be a "paying customer" to use the bathroom, I'm reminded of the days of "pay Toilets" so common in the Jersey City area growing up. 🙄 www.npr.org/2025/01/14/g...

Tbf that's probably equivalent to a bag of Cheetos.

That's what I was thinking. Along with HFCS I believe. What we need to ban is aspartame. Not only does it taste horrid, it kills dogs.

Inconvenient for folks with cat allergies 😬

That clip is too short. 🤷‍♀️😂

I'm more literate than the average person. My vocabulary score is well above average. However, I've just learned that my understanding of a rather common word was way off. "Sublime". I'm edging to 55 and have always thought it meant something closer to "subtle". I was so wrong. Keep learning, folks.

I predicted this. I wish it meant in psychic instead of just paying attention to the patterns. Trump is simply one of the most blatant examples of how influential people get to make their own rules

Morgantown, WV? I’m from the Beckley area. I grew up dirt poor. Can’t say I’m exactly well off, but I managed to buy my own home in Toledo and I’m a single mom running my own business for more than a decade. Small world. Lmk if you’d like to hear my story sometime.

It's my belief that we need to just absorb any potential fraud and when discovered, go after the doctor rather than making patients suffer by trying to preemptively avoid fraud.

That doesn't sound like a roast! I think that's all complimentary.

So far I'm not super excited about this platform. It reminds me too much of Twitter and I never cared for that "look&feel". I guess we'll see how this goes though.

Hello! Thanks for adding me :)

Geez.... I haven't seen any of that stuff here yet!!
