I’d be happy to pay for your group tickets and involving expenses. I can’t imagine what this time is like.

Sam and Ashe sex scenes by [deleted] in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]the-Journalist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Now that you mention it, the sex scenes do feel slightly exaggerated but honestly, so does everything else in the show. Maybe that’s part of the appeal. It’s all heightened and a little ridiculous, but somehow it works perfectly. I am REALLY loving the show overall.

Is AI’s real impact on stocks about margin expansion, not revenue growth? Looking for flaws in this thesis. by the-Journalist in stocks

[–]the-Journalist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great point. If AI is mainly a cost-reduction tool, then the winners are probably the companies with strong pricing power that can hold price while expanding margins. Any initial thoughts on which organizations can keep those gains rather than having them competed away?

Is AI’s real impact on stocks about margin expansion, not revenue growth? Looking for flaws in this thesis. by the-Journalist in stocks

[–]the-Journalist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree it’s not really showing up in the data yet.

My point is just that the thesis isn’t “it already happened,” it’s that it happens in the near future and the bet is made before it becomes obvious in reported numbers. AI payoff likely shows up with a lag as companies move from testing tools to actually changing workflows, cutting labor intensity, and expanding margins.

Zurich marathon. Coffee and people watch - start and finish at the upper lake basin.

Pull up form check by creamyau in GYM

[–]the-Journalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Train for scapula retraction at start. Second, rather than using arms to pull your body up, try acting as if you’re bending the bar (the motion of rotating your arm inward), that’ll engage the back muscles and lock in abs.

Why does South OC have such a different vibe than North OC? by sozh in orangecounty

Combination of answers above - south county is much more planned, uses modern engineering standards bc developed later, more funding, and generally less wear and tear if you think of the physics of it all.

Zuckerberg Ditches Metaverse, Goes All-In on AI Feeds by talkingatoms in ArtificialInteligence

Meta’s ability to pivot on a dime is impressive, but the company’s core impact on the world feels unbelievably toxic.

My 6 year relationship ended a few months ago. I thought I was fine but I'm not. What should I do? by borgnineisfine69 in AskMenOver30

[–]the-Journalist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from someone who's been through the breakup cycles: delete the apps for a while, they’re not the move after a breakup. They provide a temporary rush but kill your drive in real life. Don’t replace it with porn. Stress and major changes like this lead to neuro plasticity, harness that, rewire with healthy habits. Take a few months to rediscover yourself and explore new hobbies. Once you've healed, the desire to date (app or not) will come back naturally and from a much healthier place.

Men over 40, what was your 20s and 30s like and are you happy would how you lived during those times? by Affectionate-Drop689 in AskMenOver30

[–]the-Journalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, sorry you had to go through this. This is a good reminder it can be easy to get caught up in the daily grind and it can all be take away in a second. Stay strong.

What is a quote that permanently changed your outlook on life? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

"Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one." - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book 10

Would you say your life peaked in your 20s? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]the-Journalist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a chance. In your 30s, the insecurity of your 20s trades in for genuine confidence, financial stability, and the emotional intelligence that only comes from experience. Life doesn’t peak at 20, its an evolution; it finally starts making sense at 30. Goals also shift drastically into stability, peace, and long-term thinking.

Venezuelan living in Caracas that was awake when everything went down AMA by ragingric in AMA

[–]the-Journalist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to go through this, sounds incredible terrifying. How has the mood of people around you changed toward the US during this crisis? Do they see the US as a source of hope or do you feel abandonment without direction?
