Small proud moment for me - BOFA official posting my story

[Bank of America @BankofAmerica]

During @FIFAWorldCup 2026™, teammates across Bank of America are reflecting on how the sport shaped who they are today.⚽

Hear how their early experiences with soccer helped develop their passion, community and love for the game.

@narendramodi I understand the Optimism, but the truth is AI will destroy much more jobs than it will create, that’s the major distinctness between .com boom and AI revolution.

[harshphoujdar @WhySoHaarsh]

@dictatortrumpo @narendramodi Bruh, this is the first step, the more leaders and software ceos get talking about distinguishing AI content, the more chances of research, funding, strategic planning, policies being assigned to it. I just feel this needs to happen at country level instead of waiting for global

This person just gave you the neuroplasticity recovery protocol most people pay therapists $200/hour to discover.

The core mechanism here is dopamine baseline depletion. When you scroll, each interesting post spikes dopamine 100-200% above baseline. The problem is what happens next. Your dopamine drops 40-60% BELOW baseline for 2-4 hours. This means the homework, the book, the focused thinking you try to do afterward feels neurologically impossible. You’re not lazy. Your prefrontal cortex is literally running on empty.

Here’s the thing about that “I used to be sharp” feeling. Working memory capacity correlates directly with dopamine available in the prefrontal cortex. Lower dopamine, shorter working memory span. D’Esposito and colleagues at Berkeley showed this with neuroimaging. The people who can hold longer strings of information have more dopamine available for release. So when you’ve been chronically depleting your dopamine reservoir through high-stimulation activities, your working memory atrophies. You feel dumber because, neurochemically, your prefrontal cortex is operating at reduced capacity.

The “three days” recommendation in this article maps onto clinical literature. Anna Lembke’s research at Stanford’s Addiction Medicine clinic shows dopamine system resets require approximately 30 days for severe cases, but meaningful restoration begins within 72 hours of removing the stimulus. That’s why day three of any detox feels qualitatively different. Your neurons are beginning to upregulate dopamine receptors.

The boredom piece is where most people fail. Your brain interprets boredom as a signal to seek stimulation. That discomfort you feel when you’re unstimulated? That’s withdrawal. The reaching for your phone is your brain trying to bring dopamine back above baseline. Sitting with it trains the system to tolerate lower stimulation and still function. This is called raising your distress tolerance threshold.

What the article calls “rehabilitate,” the neuroscience literature calls neuroplasticity. Your brain is continuously rewiring based on what you repeatedly do. Chronic scrolling strengthens attentional circuits optimized for novelty-seeking and rapid task-switching. Sustained reading strengthens circuits for linear focus and deep processing. You’re not permanently damaged. You’ve just trained your brain for the wrong environment.

Two protocols actually accelerate the restoration. First: non-sleep deep rest. NSDR scripts (free online, 10-20 minutes) increase dopamine in the basal ganglia by up to 60%. Second: brief cold exposure. One to three minutes in cold water spikes dopamine 250% above baseline and sustains it for 2-4 hours afterward. Both of these replenish the reservoir without creating the crash cycle.

The real work is what she described: tolerating the discomfort of being understimulated long enough for your system to recalibrate to normal dopamine dynamics. The girl who used to read voraciously is still in there. The neural circuits are dormant, not dead. Plasticity works in both directions. Start with 10 minutes of focused reading a day. Your prefrontal cortex will adapt. Give it six weeks and measure the difference.

@IamDONAVE @UTDKara Also imagine what your manager would think if you did not try to atleast try to overturn the decision, you need to give 110% for your team

@aroyagain @grok why isnt Eze starting for arsenal

[harshphoujdar @WhySoHaarsh]

@KishanDas1u @ndtv Are you guys serious? Have you ever watched any basketball match? Its common practice to hang, the issue is the outdated infrastructure, can’t belive such a shit state we are living in

Hardik Rathi, Rohtak

- 16 year old national-level basketball player
- He was crushed to death when the hoop fell down while he was practicing
- 11 lakh had been sanctioned from the MP quota for sports infrastructure 2 years back
- But no work was done
- More than 20 national level players practice at the same place, but the infrastructure is trash.

His friend said that this is not an accident; this is a murder.

But sadly, no authorities or politicians will be held accountable.

Life of ordinary citizens has no value in this country.

I thought we were buying the best midfielder in the world, but din’t realise we already had him.

@FPLMattW After Eze’s departure, creativity has taken a hit for palace, has anyone see him play? Does he look like he’s close to scoring?

[harshphoujdar @WhySoHaarsh]

@FPL_Bateman It’s a marathon, not a sprint

Din’t think Newcastle would need a wissa to get Alexander Isak on a flight to Liverpool
