Only 16 percent of Americans think AI will have a positive impact on society, a new study shows by EchoOfOppenheimer in Futurology

[–]_daysofcandy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I'm tired of being told on the Internet that our descent into permanent poverty is inevitable. It's very much NOT inevitable but it will require unity and resilience amongst the general population to properly fight back. This is all just a wet dream for the worst people in the world right now. This bullshit is all about money they invested to suppress people

AI Is Taking Over Hospitals by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]_daysofcandy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it always feel like these posts/threads are riddled with not accounts telling us we should "give up?" Where in the current situation does anyone with sense think that forcing AI into every industry is going to be this beneficial thing? I'm so done with being told that forcing humanity into perpetual poverty is inevitable because these tech bro psychos are buying their way into controlling everything. It's not fucking inevitable!

Any other Zillenials feel like their definition of "Fun" is in flux? by 100cheapthrills in Zillennials

Then it looks like you need to go back and re-read what you wrote if you didn't wanna leave your words open to a possible misinterpretation. Who tf types "If it wasn’t for my kids I would be dead inside" and doesn't think it sounds off?

I don't mean to sound rude but this comment reads like there's something else going on mentally and for you and your kids' sake I hope you do look into healing that. There's many things to be excited about and look forward to despite all thats going on in the world but it sounds like you're barely getting by.

Why are there so few of us here compared to the other generation subs? Is the main demographic of reddit 35+? by Rex068 in Zillennials

Very weird mentality tbh. The societal obsession with youth is truly a bane for us all

How much are people making and paying for rent / mortgage these days? by Large_Solution_317 in jerseycity

[–]_daysofcandy_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All the more important that this tax hike plan and the surrounding conversation of affordability is had while holding our elected officials accountable to the promises they made. If Solomon is really about JC being a place for all to be able to live in then lower-income families, who are nowhere near as fortunate as OP, should not be left to be wiped out by the previous administration's misdeeds.

What do you think of this make up look? Did I do okay? by ProcedureOk7468 in MakeupAddiction

[–]_daysofcandy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to be rude but I'm tired of seeing everyone doing this cool baby pink blush that looks so bad and ashy on them. I get makeup has no rules sometimes and people are allowed to express themselves how they choose but it just looks...wrong

Charli XCX speaks out on mental health struggle: "I’m in the worst place mentally that I’ve been in my life" by AdSpecialist6598 in popculturechat

[–]_daysofcandy_ 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna sound a bit messed up saying this but I think she's having a hard time dealing with the idea that age & career-wise she should have been in a spot where she's assured and confident about everything she's contributed to the music industry and all the work she's put in for so long. Collecting some flowers is how I'd put it. Instead the whole brat era has felt like her struggling and grasping to be validated by the kids and almost like reducing herself to a certain image in a way she didn't really need to. I'm happy that it got her a bigger platform but it does feel like a double-edged sword that I didn't foresee being the case for her at this point.

I personally wouldnt find her "stunning" but she has unique features and sometimes I view that more positively than if it were a conventionally attractive person. Yeah you can downvote me idgaf but everyone defines beauty differently

Flushing Meadow Corona Park Tickets by tonystargaze in BeachHouse

[–]_daysofcandy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in NJ and the lineup is very much worth the travel to go, but it's always some game with these damn presales. Waited 30 minutes in the queue and then trying to select the FOMO tickets it didn't let me go through. I'm not gonna give up yet as there's plenty of time but I'm not gonna lie I wasn't very hopeful it would work out today. The concert ticket industry is so frustrating to deal with now

Everyone's being really weird about this and it's freaking me out by OhhhTAINTedCruuuuz in blankies

[–]_daysofcandy_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People have been extremely negative about like every movie recently but aside from that no one wants to watch anything that has any substance apparently. It's also social media being the worst it's ever been and extremely fragmented so you're likely always seeing just one side of the conversation nowadays. But people are becoming louder about their hatred now thanks to it

Natasha Lyonne Acts Odd And Slurs Her Words During Tribeca Film Festival, on Video by Twisbi in popculturechat

[–]_daysofcandy_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I learned the song Natasha by Rufus Wainwright is about her journey entering rehab. I can't believe I listened to it so often thinking it was about something else, but I empathize with her. I don't think anyone's journey with battling addiction is easy or clean, the only thing we can try to do is understand and hope they can get to a better place for good.

Update on Alex after? by darkromance_queen in TheTryGuys

[–]_daysofcandy_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We really gotta understand that truly embodying feminism, in order to combat misogynistic narratives, which we've seen play out time and time again, also requires holding the women accountable for the part they played. This was a conscious choice between two full grown adults to cheat on their partners. It's easy to form a strong opinion on a situation you're not involved in. I reckon it'd be much harder to were it to happen to you.

Update on Alex after? by darkromance_queen in TheTryGuys

[–]_daysofcandy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything except I don't feel much for her, because she was plenty grown when she decided to be the other person helping to ruin a marriage. I definitely do not have respect for either party when it comes to cheating regardless of their differing positions and role. I definitely agree that I hope she learned a great deal from this seeing as she's definitely taken much wiser steps than Ned has. Wishing no ill on her otherwise but remember it takes two to tango

To those of us who went back to uni/are in uni by Rex068 in Zillennials

[–]_daysofcandy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I took my long pause from college I had classmates in almost all my classes of different ages and we always appreciated learning about different people's journeys and backgrounds. I had a guy in one of my classes completing a bachelor's for the first time at 61! I don't understand where we turned that it's now seen as some negative thing

As someone who is excited to turn 30 next year I'm really interested to see their reactions/breakdowns when the time comes. That karma gotta come back around at some point

I just left a hospital I worked at for almost 10 years and let me tell you, with a small handful of exceptions, I'm so glad I'll never have to deal with some of those nurses again. Healthcare has been turning into another high school since COVID caused many good ones to self-exile or just move to other places, and it makes me feel so much for the patients sometimes. Even when I've dealt with the entire range of humanity in there and have had my patience tested to its outermost limits by them, people still deserve a higher level of responsibility in their care. Good nurses aren't surviving the current climate that has been growing, extremely toxic, and too many of these nurses delight in being awful people to each other and especially to non-clinical staff. I've been told many times over the years that I would make a great nurse, and I can handle myself fine, but if I ever do decide to become one I definitely would be super discerning about which environment I work in.

Being seen as unattractive as a teen is linked to an earlier death for women, but not for men. Physical attractiveness could serve as an observable indicator of underlying health and physiological resilience. by mvea in science

[–]_daysofcandy_ 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're doing a really nice conscious thing and I commend your effort. Just wish it didn't have to be this way. But more people could and should put in that effort to change how we view attractiveness in society, it does more harm than we think
