Are they more damaging today than they were a generation ago? Can kids not handle it as well? What’s different?

I don’t think it’s about poor education as much as it is about mental health. For some reason, people think that kids today get Cs and it damages them.

With such an important conversation, do you wish you had talked face to face? You could have seen her reaction. I think asking via text is your only mistake. You could have started the ask and pivoted to non-date if you judged it not going over well.

It’s still just a popularity contest - stocks and Bitcoin. If they are popular, they go up. Your “share” in a company is really no different than your fraction of Bitcoin. It’s just some mystical thing.
And technically, If you look at history, it’s more likely that your stock will go to $0 than Bitcoin.

Your “ownership” means nothing unless you are buying a significant portion and voting, contributing to company decisions. It’s really no different than crypto, seriously think about it.

Stocks are as much a pyramid scheme as crypto. It’s all just a popularity contest. Profits don’t matter unless they make you more popular. Losses don’t matter unless they make you less popular.

Just googled this: Mathew Ishbia is a CEO of a mortgage company. I’m guessing he’s pretty rich.

Damn, texts every time you are going somewhere and arriving somewhere? Maybe just turn on location sharing so you can check in if you feel like it?

I think “multiple” in this context means more than one, but integers only.

Because 1.5 is not multiple.
