    Gen Z Says This Is the Main Reason They Don’t Date: ‘Feels So Unattainable’

    NEWS 
    ?? There's 360m people on the US, and even more millions in Latin America or Asia. I can't see how we can generalise like that, and even if there was some general truth then so what? Google for "internal and external locus of control". I'd say if you want to meet someone and haven't then...

    How Long Did It Take You To Start Your First Business?

    You've started your business when someone pays you and the money hits your bank account. If you're not getting paid then consider it a hobby. For my current business, I helped an electrician friend out for free. I got excited once he started getting results and then asked his uncle if he'd...

    I don't think AI is killing this forum. I chat with AI a lot, but come here to see real conversations and to help real people. AI gives me clarity, but so does writing and helping people.

    I finally broke out of the TikTok 300 view jail. I didn't script this. I just walked and talked and then used Descript.com to tidy it up. The video went from 1 minute 14 down to 30 seconds. I added slight captions then posted.
