I feel like this tweet is conflating 2 different perspectives as the same thing. The doctor will have studied conditions and illnesses in aggregate while the individual experiences it personally on a daily basis. Conclusions drawn from both perspectives can contradict and both be true without invalidating the other. As a result, I don’t see either as justified in using there perspective to disqualify the others.

I feel both sides could benefit from taking a more nuanced view of things and more openly listen to one another. I know that’s an ideal and is not reflected in many people’s experience, sadly, but wanted to highlight that no one need be wrong in this situation.

You guys are eating?

When I looked up the definition of “Emotional Abuse”. It seemed I was the last person to see it.

I never was good at being subtle.

I just went with forgoing my own self care and losing my sense of self in pursuit of meeting her ever changing expectations instead of acknowledging if come to define myself be the relationship. Not sure which is better…

Not to worry though, the papers are in the mail!

I absolutely love questions like this! My wife absolutely hates them. She often gets irritated when people ask questions about what you think.

Like when our therapist asked her “How do you think your actions contribute to your own unhappiness?”

For some reason I am not fully aware of, I randomly knew that elephant testicles are inside there body, so our boy here is safe.

I certainly wouldn’t risk it myself, though.

Man, I really miss Stadia. I used it for a year and it worked flawlessly. Even still have the app on my phone as I couldn’t bring myself to uninstall it.

Audiobooks at 2x speed seemed to help me. I didn’t notice the lag in the story as much.

My extended family from Idaho/Montana say “Ruff”.

Somewhat similarly, when they say wolf it’s said as “wuff”.

Ruff

Looks good! Can’t wait til the wars over and we can finally get some nice white ones, though.

Do… Do people really think it’s their imagination?

I used to see how many “videos” I could play in my brain simultaneously and still keep track of what was happening in each. Most I was able to be satisfied with was 3.

Hadn’t ever really thought about whether other people did that or not…

So I tied and onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.

The worse results likely refers to results for advertisers but this will impact Meta’s ad revenue in the long run.

The article cited an example with almost zero sales with CPMs of $250, which is crazy high. I’d also bet the biggest chunk of advertisers using these tools don’t have sophisticated advertising strategies or resources. Many of them will probably pause these poor performing campaigns and be very restrictive with future budgets until performance improves.

In short, Meta took a lot of money in a short time but didn’t earn much money back for advertisers, so they will spend less in the future and less money make Meta sad.

Yeah, the realization that the world wasn’t what I thought it would be was a slow journey for me. Initially, I felt I could keep up. I wasn’t doing it all but I felt like I was doing enough. It was like stacking blocks where the placement was imprecise. It seemed the differences weren’t that big of a deal and I was still progressing.

However, over time the small differences that had seemed acceptable began making it hard to keep going. I struggled to do what others appeared to accomplish without issues and sections of my life seemed to be caving in.

At 30, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Therapy and medication have helped me exist in a world that is indifferent to me. While I wish the world were different and I didn’t feel the need to take pills, they’re a tool that’s helped me better influence my circumstances. It’s still a struggle, but I’m better able to find fulfillment in the struggle.

The world sucks. Pills may not change that, but they may help you maneuver a society unapathetic and sometimes hostile towards you.

Yup, I’ve got mad filters on my work email.

Yup. Currently work at an ad tech company and we just pushed a new ad surface and the executives freaking loved it. It adds on additional revenue without putting any of the current revenue at risk. Internally, the narrative was super positive while externally it was “Well, that’s kind of annoying”.

So long as user engagement doesn’t totally tank, they see it as a complete win.
