The Kids (Aren't) Alright - World Happiness Report
Farmerted replied to FirstTimeCaller's topic in Daily Texan
Agree ,my bashing of social media is the addictive nature of “reels” , the “fringe / conspiracy” non credible news sources and “look at how cool I am and how bad your life sucks” influencer component . As for connecting w friends keeping up with friends it’s great . I never had a problem finding the party on a Friday night in HS with out a phone or a pager - I honestly don’t know how we did it . I’m not a Luddite and realize there was bullying , cliques and teen depression well before social media, however the additive component that’s built into them can consume the youth and is olds before we even realize it’s happened. -
The Kids (Aren't) Alright - World Happiness Report

I have 3 kids 20-25 . They have all struggled with this the youngest the least. The older two - get off your machines , get some exercise , get your sleep right . that and a 6 month course of celexa helped quite a bit - the youngest is in college sports - that has its own issues but in general very busy so less time for the social media. Humans are very adaptable but the human mind and risk /threat assessment apparatus is completely overwhelmed by our latest technology( this fucking phone in my hand) . At 18-30 I watched the news we had the fucking Cold War to worry about , I knew of people richer than my family - I had wants , fears and insecurities - they weren’t front and center 22 hrs a day. turn off the social media- 528 replies

First game this year , Jumbotron better than last year? Missed p. Longstockings my loss . What was the version of LaGrange they played in second half on Jumbotron- original would be better but I’m old and it’s a nice compromise

So when does Iran get their “find out part”? When does the revolutionary guard cease to exist ? Isn’t Hamas just an extension of Iran ?

If they like chicken wings , chicken strips - cs has a monopoly on shitty chicken - laynes , chicken express , wings and things , wings and more , rooster run , bobs spicy chicken, Zaby’s , Buffalo Wild Wings , raisin canes - and various Asian tales on “wings” they will fit right in at any of those if they like their sweet tea by the galllon . tell them to call now for reservation at Marfa Texas Kitchen on fitch - they have a nice patio out back and weather will be nice, good drinks small good menu and casual - it’s one of the few places I can go here and not feel like I’m here

Everything near campus will be a shit show - the chicken is fun on game day good burgers but will be packed , south college station near tower point has some good resturaunts -Petit Cochon ( owned by an Austinite that has a few other resturaunts in town ) casa de Brazil , marfa kitchen - and downtown bryan has several places most of out of towners will miss . But college station around the school will be packed - the republic likely is full already

On a mobile it was unbearable , thought I looked at “awesome Juggs machine” one too many times and got the virus. Didn’t know about treefifty. So now that adds gone - would you prefer I join treefiddy , make a donation to tail gate or burnt ends or nil? ….your gonna get about 3.50 -
I doubt their alumni are, that’s who pays , right ? It s just a wish , not going to happen .

If I’m Sanford and CalI’m getting with the Ivy League, and some HBCUs - and forming the Big FU - rule up some stupid rich alumni pool money - and forming a league that takes only portals and non qualifiers - and pays them a shit pile of “NIL” money and run a train on all of this bullshit .
