I suspect (but have no science to back it up) that it’s a risk factor for many things. I had ear infections more or less constantly in my childhood and were on antibiotics the whole time until they finally stooped working. The end result is that I’m now deaf on one ear. I get why they were prescribed, it stopped the acute pain but no one thought about the long term

Very much so, advancements in cosmetic surgery as well as the strict training and supplements that were not available for older generations of actors. Take someone like Kumail Nanjiani who very clearly were on HGH for his role in The Eternals

But neither is older actors. People like Cary Grant, Paul Newman, and Robert Redford played hunks well into their 50s

Sure, if you think the point of twitter is to build a brand by dispensing your profound wisdom from up on high. The vast majority of people use twitter as entertainment, and the fact that people who like to pontificate about federated microblogs don't get this is why it won't take off in any meaningful way.

Re:How to set junior employees up for success in remote

One problem with being a new employee, junior or not, is that it's hard to know who to ask or has worked on something similar before when you don't really even know your coworkers. The thing I miss most when WFH is overhearing relevant information. Teams dailies do not really solve that problem.

I’m not so sure this works with how I use twitter. My typical twitter use is when I’m on a 10 minute ride on the subway, I don’t want longform writing in this context. If I see a link to something interesting I’ll open a tab in safari for later reading, but I’m not gonna move away from my timeline just to read your thoughts
