Stop calling a 25-year-old a "kid.". If you want to put young people in positions of power/responsibility, then they have to deal with the consequences of their actions. You can't lean into the "high agency young people!" movement, then backtrack to "kid" when it implodes.
Here’s my view: . I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life. We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever. So I say bring him back. If he’s a bad dude or a terrible member of.

Now that H-1B has become a topic of discussion, here’s my story:. Born in Appalachia, went to a top-tier university, interned in wealth management and trading, recruited for all the top investment banks and research firms, only offer I received was to cold call South American.

I used to buy the “3rd space” epidemic until I realized you can just go to a bar. Or basketball court. Or gym. Or church. You can just invite acquaintances to do stuff. The death of the 3rd place is just the collective normalization of introversion. There’s plenty of spaces.
What's an example of a "third space" for men? Not work, not home, somewhere men can go in their free time that's majority/completely occupied by men. Seems like a lot of male frustration could be traced back to this "third space" disappearing.
