That makes sense and could explain a lot of it. The time spent is essentially compressed in memory making it seem smaller than it is.
It's funny seeing so many people who spend hours every day on social media or Netflix or Steam claim that they have no time. We can see the data on how many hours are being consumed.

What explains that?

Male giraffes evolved to impress females by fighting each other with their necks.

Male humans evolved to impress females by sending them a text message about how male giraffes impress female giraffes.

if you need a house, buy a house - because you do need a place to live.
What is functioning as a good store of value in that environment? Gold? Bitcoin? Stocks? Real estate?

The root cause may be bullying and ostracization combined with the media contagion effect. This is a repeating pattern.

Bullying: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/25/uvalde-texa...

The gunman in Tuesday’s elementary school massacre was a lonely 18-year-old who was bullied over a childhood speech impediment, suffered from a fraught home life and lashed out violently against peers and strangers recently and over the years, friends and relatives said

In middle school and junior high, Ramos was bullied for having a stutter and a strong lisp, friends and family said. Stephen Garcia, who considered himself Ramos’s best friend in eighth grade, said Ramos didn’t have it easy in school.

“He would get bullied hard, like bullied by a lot of people”. Ramos’s cousin Mia said she saw students mock his speech impediment when they attended middle school together. He’d brush it off in the moment, Mia said, then complain later to his grandmother that he didn’t want to go back to school.

What happens if Tether fails, realistically?

There's a lot of doomsaying around it, but after seeing the crypto market shrug off the loss of Terra Luna without contagion or bailout ala GFC crisis, the fear may be overblown. Terra was backed entirely by hot air, whereas Tether is mostly backed. Wouldn't the net loss be similar or even less?

Re:Formula for a Shortage on Friday May 20, 2022 @11:36AM (#31448903)
What happened to the FDA? Why would they block a healthier option? This must be incompetence or corruption.

European formula is healthier than the dorito mix formula sold in the US. I was shocked to see that some have corn syrup and high oleic sunflower oils as the first ingredient. If I was a parent in the US I'd be looking for an underground formula railroad.

That's literally heresay. We don't know what happened.
I'd bet $1000 that it's another half true, half exaggerated "awkward nerd misreads woman and makes her uncomfortable" story.
None of those are banned.
What a lazy and completely unsupported talking point.

Who shut down the public schools resulting in catastrophic learning loss and depression? I'll give you a hint. It wasn't Florida.

I find it powerful too and it raises the question of whether it reflects an artist in decay or an artist at his peak.

How would we know the difference?
