People always think Pennsylvania is just Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with the Amish in between, but if you know where to look there are gems like this hidden all throughout the state! This is Altoona

every other team in the WBC has taken the opportunity to showcase fun and unique things about their country's national character meanwhile team USA - who could celebrate being from the country that invented baseball btw - instead keeps announcing devotion to war for some reason
We are overstimulated and we don't even notice. Netflix while eating. Reels in the bathroom. Music while cooking. Podcasts on walks. We consume by default, not by intention. You keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated. Boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. They give you space to think and create. That's when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. Leave some room.

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone.
And it's making you a worse person because of it.
Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would.
That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear.
It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on.
Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one.
The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started.
Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product.
This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens.
Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing.
You're right. They're wrong.
Even when the opposite is true.
I am so glad this is getting more coverage. Fox erased fallen soldiers to make Trump look better. I guess all coffins are the same on Fox. They just made it much worse. It's incredibly disgraceful to the service people who died to replace the footage.
Hermano, no quiero ser alucin, pero me da gracia como Trump encaja perfecto sobre "el falso profeta" y "quienes lo sigan tendrán la marca de la bestia en la frente" (siendo gorras de propagan pro Trump).
Esto ya parece un chiste.
