    I think she's been bazinga brained since long before Elon, he just really exacerbated it. But the seeds of bazinga were certainly there before. In 2015, 3 years before getting with Musk, she said she wasn't a feminist. Also she made a Dune concept album in 2010 with, as far as I can tell, no realization that it's a cautionary tale and not just an epic space opera.

    100% agree. The rationalization for school group projects is always "well you'll have to work together in the workplace" except group projects are not at all the same. In a workplace you are all in the same place at the same time and it's time dedicated for you all to work on it. Very rarely in a workplace are you required to coordinate all your different coworker's free time to work on a project together outside work. Group projects are good when you get class time to work on it, like you said. But unfortunately that's pretty much never because of how condensed academic schedules are.




  • Going to events, hobby meetups, clubs, etc, is always going to be 100x more effective at meeting people than the accursed apps. They have a financial incentive for you to be unsatisfied and keep swiping. Obviously don't be that person who shows up just to try to pick up people, but seriously you gotta go outside. I understand if maybe you live in a remote area and there aren't many things going on, but in almost every situation going outside is more effective and less demoralizing than the apps. Especially if you can find something that's regular and you can attend weekly or monthly or whatever. That's how connections form naturally, by being in the same place as other people and slowly getting to know them. This thing where we look at some photos of people and then immediately try to talk intimately with them is extremely unnatural, it's no wonder it doesn't work very well.
