Agree that this is the wrong way of handling this. Why not simply change the photo tradition if that’s such a problem?

Plus, airlines may have to contend with another mask problem then — the "radicalization" of flyers who want the mandates to continue. "They may replace those who refuse to wear a mask as being unruly," he said.

We sure live in strange times

Definitely like the third version

If only this was done every time a country is invaded… but hey, it’s different when the Americans approve of it, isn’t it 🙄

proud. Being who you are in a world where there is only one box takes courage, but people need that

Love this

When in doubt, bark. When something bothers you, speak your heart out

Love this

He also claimed that Melania Trump was the queen of Russia, but that claim was met with widespread confusion because he previously told his followers that the former first lady was actually Princess Diana in disguise.

🤦‍♂️

Asylum seekers are forbidden to work until an immigration judge has confirmed their status, and must rely on savings or support from friends and family in the meantime.

I don’t understand how they thought this is a good idea when this law was created...

In 2018, Mr. McIndoe dropped out of college and moved to Memphis. To build Birds Aren’t Real further, he created a flyer that shot to the top of Reddit. He hired an actor to portray a former C.I.A. agent who confessed to working on bird drone surveillance; the video has more than 20 million views on TikTok. He also hired actors to represent adult bird truthers in videos that spread all over Instagram.

That’s a whole different kind of career path. I feel so old right now.

Wow... now I feel naive for having followed them. 🤯 This is actually plausible

Crypto can easily solve the micropayment issue. I was surprised that this wasn’t explicitly mentioned especially as Brave (which he did mention) is crypto based.

Nice! C, D and Zinc were obvious and are well known. Curcumin is new to me but sounds great.

Love a good excuse to eat more pasta :)

Ha, let’s see if I even make it to the giver stage 😅

In my 20ies I’d have agreed with the author. As I grew out of this I realised that a purpose is possible without “the grind”

Home schooling fixes this

As someone from another tiny town in the Swiss alps with equally weird traditions, reading this made me smile :)

🎉🎉🤩🤩

I’m not sure why the author took so much time to write this but it shows what’s wrong with kids these days: they don’t pay attention anymore:

But what really gets to me is that he never actually says anything, that this incredibly dragged-out meeting between our protagonist and an intelligence that knows many important secrets takes place and yet at the end I’m no closer to understanding either the plot or the themes. “Shit is complicated”

“Shit is complicated” is a lame excuse for being too lazy to actually understand what’s happening

when we eat, the food starts off being very tasty, but you normally get a gradual decline in people’s ratings of how pleasant the food is which is thought to be one of the mechanisms that contribute to us stopping eating

That’s super cool. Learned something new today

I almost didn’t read this because of the awful attention seeking title and it turns out the content wasn’t much better. He claims to be a civilian but magically has Tim Cook’s email who then fixes the issue... 😒

Great perspective. Most media outlets are not allowed to write about the parts of the world that just keep going normally and the death rates are no different from the mask l-wearing and injected population.

sophisticated adults are generally capable of winking at overly stringent guidelines. In the case of COVID, many are not

Feels a bit like the author is a boomer who just found out about loneliness. Younger generations are way ahead of this.

Important read.

Nurdles also act as “rafts” for harmful bacteria such as E coli or even cholera

🤢

I actually saw Encanto just today. I don’t thunk it really compares with Moana and Raya which both had much bigger and deeper story lines but I appreciated reading that they selected the voice artists to really match the origins of the characters

Meanwhile, in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and other red states, cases have plummeted after earlier surges swept through, leaving many with immunity

I wish immunity would get discussed more often.

What a nice and timely reminder to be grateful

Wow this was actually a waste of time. Disrespectful, inaccurate (or at least no proof / sources offered for absolute statements) and inappropriately oversimplified

you should create a master resume based on the job descriptions for what you consider to be three dream jobs. Then tweak it according to the specific requirements of each job you apply to

I’ve followed this approach for a while and it always worked well for me

Beautiful :)

it is my belief that market forces, democratic decline, and a toxic obsession with “national security”—a euphemism for state supremacy—are drawing the US and China to meet in the middle: a common extreme.

I agree with the HBR. Keeping a job for 5+ years is such a boomer thing to do 😅

Great input and the monkey trap metaphor is amazingly accurate 🐒🙈

It’s interesting how ReadUp is showing me how much writers write about writing

If only the public could be persuaded to abandon atoms for bits

Scary stuff

Pre-pandemic, about 8% of U.S. adults experienced depression. But in a survey of 1,161 people taken between March and April of 2020, that statistic jumped to 28%. And when researchers surveyed the same people a year later, they saw a jump to 32%.

How is this not talked about more? It’s totally insane.

I really like the concept of a shared reality. Resonates strongly with me.

So good to see people have the courage to push back despite the censorship and political arrests

So to all you Stoics: Take the night off.

Haha, probably not gonna happen 😅

Time to take the threat of fast food seriously
