In reply to Thought Leader. Great platitudes, Junior. Now come up from that basement and turn the lights off down there.

Oh gawd. A generation of friggin snowflakes being raised. Get a grip. Stop coddling your kids. Not everyone deserves a trophy. Teach that lesson while they’re young and they won’t have “anxiety” attacks when they get old enough to realize the world doesn’t owe them anything.

Wow looked up my area. Temps from 1950 to today are barely changed in their graph. But the next 60-80yrs its straight up with considerably higher temps. Looks like a chart of the Qs or Dow since Trump came into office.

A few years ago our teenage daughter (well she’s 20 now) struggled with anxiety and despite us getting her to therapy and trying to do the right things, was influenced by “friends” on the internet to deal with it in some very unhealthy ways that only resulted in making things worse. Unfortunately she continues on a downward spiral and it’s been a year since we’ve heard from her aside from occasional texts. Parents, don’t let your guard down when it comes to the internet!

I have my own anxiety problems too that started in my teens, so I understand. I think it’s worse today due to the pressures from social media.

A behavioral economics study of travel hackers would be pretty interesting indeed!

In reply to Google Glass. Exactly! Everything Google does is lent a halo by its advertising domination. I read an article a while back about their then-new CFO trying to quash some of their expensive projects. Maps is pretty awesome though, gotta give them credit for that.
