I’m more weirded out by the trend of everything needing to be cropped, skin tight, or full of holes/cut outs

Am I the only one who is completely weirded out by this “trend” in clothing?

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

A guy sold his watch company for $100,000,000.

Years later, he was “lonelier than ever and deeply depressed.”

His life was stress-free, “really cushy,” and he could play video games whenever he wanted.

But when he sold his company, he lost something more valuable than money: “the hunt.”

Dr. Andrew Huberman explains:

“Some guy made a [$100 million], and a couple weeks later he said, ‘I don’t know what’s going on, but I feel like I’m depressed.’”

“And I just said, ‘That’s dopamine.’ He got the reward, and what he misses is the hunt.”

“You have to stay in the hunt. This is like the WILL TO LIVE is the HUNT FOR NEW THINGS.”

Below is the post from the guy who discovered that money and unlimited comfort actually didn’t make him happy. It’s a fascinating case study. Well worth reading:

“I sold my company MVMT a few years ago for a lot of money and thought all my problems would be solved. I made my life really cushy and comfortable. I optimized for being as stress free as possible. I play video games when I want, I wake up when I want and really have no reason to get out of bed if I don’t want to. I always thought this was the dream and that I’d be happy forever… until I wasn’t. I realize I’m in an incredibly unique situation and wanted to share some things I’ve learned and am still working through.

“I’m new to this subreddit but it looks like a lot of you feel as I do and did when trying to find a career. I don’t necessarily have any deep passions or skill sets that translate into a career. I started my ecommerce company solely out of the desire to make money. I’m an introvert and being behind a computer felt comfortable. The unhealthy desire for ego and money gave me motivation and fulfillment to build the company. I had no experience aside from the willingness to try and fail and try again. I had an unhealthy relationship with myself and my values in life were not true to who I was. It allowed me to be successful but still I was unhappy. My money and ego were the driving forces. After selling the company, I realized the only way to get the same highs would have been to start a bigger company and make more money. (Also known as the hedonic treadmill) But those were external motivations. I now only cared about authentic motivations, things I wanted to work on if money and ego weren’t the driving forces.

“Fast forward to now, I’ve been separated from the company for 2 years. I’m 31, single and never have to work again. I’ve also been lonelier than ever and deeply depressed. I really believe that we need purpose in our lives to be happy. For some that might be raising a family and for others that’s a career. For a lot of us on this subreddit I don’t think we’re looking solely for money. I think we want a career that has deeper meaning to us. The last couple years I’ve really been working on what my personal values are and what makes me tick. It’s really helped me align with what I care about and trying to find a career that aligns with those values. We’ll never love 100% of our job, I think that’s important to remember. I’d recommend taking a Myers-Briggs personality test. It’s helped realign me with some old hobbies and thought patterns.

“If you don’t know what you’re passionate about, think back to when you were a kid. What did you gravitate towards. Even if you never took it to the next level. It’s literally never too late. What did you enjoy being bad at?

“Last piece of advice that I struggle with still is failing. We need to just start. Fuck it, even if it’s the wrong direction and we fail or realize we don’t like what we’re doing. There are lessons in everything. We can plan and analyze forever but there are lessons that are unknown until you start moving forward. You cannot live without struggle and pain. We either choose our struggle and pain or it will find us through depression and loneliness.

“I have more to say but I’ll save it for another post.

“TLDR:

“1.) Money past a certain point won’t make you happier, in fact it will make you feel lonelier

“2.) Find your values, what makes you tick

“3.) F*ck it, just start and fail. There are lessons everywhere.”

Jeff Bezos just bet $12 billion that you'll be able to support your whole family on a single paycheck again.

his reasoning: AI will let companies make more stuff with fewer people and less money.

and when something gets cheaper and easier to produce, and lots of companies can do it, they compete and the price drops.

it's why a flatscreen TV that cost $2,000 a decade ago is $300 today.

bezos thinks AI will do that to almost everything you buy.

in his words, it raises "the basket of goods people can afford."

your paycheck buys more without anyone handing you a raise.

the problem: look at which prices have actually dropped.

so far, AI has only made *digital* things cheap, like code and content.

but the stuff that really eats your paycheck is *physical*.

rent, cars, medicine. cheaper code doesn't lower your rent.

that's exactly what bezos just spent $12B on.

Prometheus, his new company, is building AI tools that help engineers design and manufacture physical products faster

things like cars, machines, and medicine.

the goal is to make building physical things as fast and cheap as writing software.

if it works, 1 income starts covering what used to take 2.

which is when his prediction kicks in:

"perhaps one of those earners will choose not to be in the job market, so they'll become a one-earner household." or "some people who are working overtime will stop working overtime, because they don't want to."

one paycheck covering a whole family again, like the 1950s.

[Buff Black Babe @BuffBlackBabe]

@xoxohugkisses @xsyntryk1 EXACTLY….. there is absolutely no way you could be physically intimate with somebody who didn’t shower, wipe their ass, or brush their teeth, and you NOT realize it. Unless you are just as dirty as they are 🤣

All I’m going to say is this……you can’t play around with hormones & think you’re gonna get away scott free. Have y’all learned nothing from professional female bodybuilders? Taking excess exogenous testosterone is always going to have bad outcomes on the female body.

[Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, LCSW @pgarfieldjaeger]

“So I can’t bottom anymore”. This woman on testosterone openly shares how she has experienced vaginal atrophy and can’t have a full sex life anymore. She also states that this condition is common among women who take testosterone, something gender doctors know, but downplay or hide.

It is interesting how this fact is conveniently overlooked while Pride is celebrated with rainbows, flags, and platitudes about acceptance. Kudos to this woman for being honest about this.

Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.

daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars.

everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.

Podcaster Larry Reid calls for a "mass exodus" of black Americans to Africa in response to the Karmelo Anthony verdict.

"I want you to begin to think about this America and the white people problem that we have... As a collective, let's drain this place of its benefits and make our mass exodus and go home and build."

"Civil rights did not make white people that are infected with whiteness stop being racist. They still raised racist children that run this country to this day."

"You come from a land that flows with milk and honey. They pulled you out of that land ancestrally and brought you to a place to where your royalty was not recognized. Used your black power, your black mysticism, your African spirituality, and your physiological superiority to build this country and give everybody reparations except you."

BREAKING: Undercover footage shows the nightmarish warehouse cells where NYC carriage horses are trapped in deplorable conditions when not in dangerous NYC traffic.

These poor animals have a HORRIFIC LIFE of walking the busy streets , in and out of congested traffic in hot and cold temperatures. These horses NEVER touch grass, never graze in pastures and no socialization with other horses .

They have NO pasture for grazing and interacting with other horses as herd animals NEED to be healthy and they are denied proper veterinary care.

THIS HAS TO STOP. TAKE ACTION BELOW TO END THIS ABUSE.

Everyone can call NYC Council Health Committee Chair Lynn Schulman at 718.544.8800 and press 0 to leave a message to ask her to cosponsor and fast- track #RydersLaw Intro 967 to end this criminal horse abuse!

NEW YORKERS: please make a quick call or send an email to your own New York City COUNCIL MEMBER urging them to POST sponsor and pass intro 967,
#RydersLaw.
