Insect populations dropped by 41% globally since 2015.

No mosquitos will be the least of our problems when every species above in the food chain ends up on the endangered list.

IMO Israel forfeited their right to a 2-state solution. They should not be recognized as a sovereign state because they're foreign occupiers.

I feel like they actually could make their own app with blackjack and hookers.

This. Surround yourself with good people and your life will be better in general.

Events in general because you all have at least 1 thing in common you can talk about (the event).

Also you need a reason to be there other than meeting women or tldr you'll give off ick vibes. It's like the desperate salesman who drives away customers.

Someone who's genuinely there to have fun will be much more attractive in general.

My advice for anyone that wants a loving relationship is to expand your social circles. Spending time with friends, meeting their friends, and making new friends. Join a hobby club or a team sport. The person you meet through friends, who you already have commonalities with, is probably gonna be more compatible with you than the person you matched on tinder for superficial reasons.

It's not gonna collapse until it becomes properly regulated. The rich have realized they can pump and dump crypto and leave retail investors holding the bag.

It'll work to because MAGA supporters will see the USD tanking and buy right into the grift.

"Our analysis reveals that receiving a smartphone before age 13 is associated with poorer mind health outcomes in young adulthood, particularly among females, including suicidal thoughts, detachment from reality, poorer emotional regulation, and diminished self-worth. These correlations are mediated through several factors, including social media access, cyberbullying, disrupted sleep, and poor family relationships. "

it is not stated what about social media is so harmful?

They're listing "mediating factors"; which is not exclusive to bad things even if it contributes to bad outcomes.

Our analysis reveals that receiving a smartphone before age 13 is associated with poorer mind health outcomes in young adulthood, particularly among females, including suicidal thoughts, detachment from reality, poorer emotional regulation, and diminished self-worth. These correlations are mediated through several factors, including social media access, cyberbullying, disrupted sleep, and poor family relationships.

What this is saying is:

"receiving a smartphone before age 13" + "social media access, cyberbullying, disrupted sleep, and poor family relationships" = "poorer mind health outcomes in young adulthood, particularly among females, including suicidal thoughts, detachment from reality, poorer emotional regulation, and diminished self-worth."

The cellphone in isolation isn't harmful. It's the access to social media intended for adults, the 24/7 avenue for cyberbullying, the physiological interruptions to circadian rhythm due to screen time, and exasperated emotional damage of poor family dynamics where cellphones replace face to face intimacy.

Thanks! Not what I'm looking for sadly. I like to engage in political discourse and a lot of the replies I get aren't worth reading.

It stops replies from showing up in your inbox... I know reddit has notifications but I use old. layout so I never saw them.
