My wife found this bottle of Dawn dish soap sitting in my parent's shower.
Apparently, my dad uses it to wash his entire body because:
"If it's good enough for baby ducks, it's good enough for me."
Absolute legend.
Suuuuper hot take: the normalization of therapy is becoming a bad thing for society.
I’m seeing more and more people:
1) use the fact they are in therapy as a “get out of jail free card” for awful behavior
2) believe everything their therapist says as Gospel Truth, with no…
The first person who can figure out how to build a
1) daycare
2) remote co-working space
3) coffee shop
into a single building with a subscription... will become a billionaire in 2024.
Hot take: NO ONE actually wants AI to:
1) Book their vacations
2) Order a random pizza
3) Have access to their bank account
Why are we creating tech no one wants?
HOT TAKE: buying things is significantly less exciting than it used to be.
Maybe it’s just me, but I think most companies:
1) have stopped making innovative, useful products
2) focused on building subscriptions
3) believe trapping customers is better than building anything…
Last month marks 3 years sober.
It’s hard to express how close I came to destroying every good thing in my life because of my alcoholism.
I was a hair’s breadth from losing my marriage, 3 kids, my career… everything.
I hate talking about this. I feel so much shame and…
I’ve owned a Tesla Model 3 for years.
I bought a new gas vehicle because it is:
1) a roomy 7-seater
2) doesn’t lose range in the cold
3) costs less than $50k
Many American families are doing the same.
HOT TAKE: overprotective parents are creating an extremely risk-averse generation of kids.
Almost NONE of my kids’ friends:
1) have asked someone out on a date
2) started a lemonade stand
3) want to get a driver’s license
I’m really worried about what this means for the…
@MKBHD
The internet will become a less useful tool in 2024 as more content will become AI generated and we will be hard-pressed to distinguish true reality/news from AI generated content.
@kristakdoyle
Exactly. I’ve seen many places be good at 2 of these requirements, never all 3.
Daycare also HAS to be top notch. Not sending my kids anywhere sketchy.
@MattWalshBlog
It is WILD to me that a no-name dude like me posting a HOT TAKE tweet led to
@MattWalshBlog
and
@jordanbpeterson
agreeing to do a podcast together on therapy.
Tell me X isn’t the greatest place on earth.
@MKBHD
People will stop using the internet.
The usefulness of the internet will drop dramatically as it becomes increasingly more difficult to tell what is true and what is AI generated.
In the Spring of 2020, I lost my job.
We had a newborn, family of 4, a new house we just moved into and I was scared out of my mind.
A week later I landed a gig making $15/hr as a lab tech in a completely overwhelmed COVID-19 testing lab, working 15 hour shifts to keep up.…
@MattWalshBlog
I picked strawberries at age 12.
Earned $20 and felt like a king!
Such a good experience for kids to see that hard work reaps big benefits.
VIRAL POST UPDATE:
I’ve had a call with founder
@brittwriley
, who has:
1) already built this in 3 locations
2) is profitable
3) expanding to new cities
I have committed to do what I can to bring this to my city, Asheville NC.
If you’re interested in seeing this in your…

Every single Uber I’ve been in recently has a driver:
A) Texting and driving
B) Watching a video and driving
C) FaceTiming a friend and driving
Never just… driving. How did this become so normalized?!!
Uncomfortable Truth: we have lost the art of repairing broken things
Growing up, my parents used to:
1) replace the soles of my shoes
2) sew together the holes in my shirts
3) patch rips in my stuffed animals
No one I know does this anymore.
@onbeeper
I’m an Apple customer. I want Android users to have iMessage and I want the choice to use iMessage if I leave the ecosystem.
Any company should be able to know how to make customers happy without a walled garden. Tesla does this well.
@RewiredRadical
It’s not just electronics either.
I feel this way about buying furniture off Wayfair. It used to be exciting to receive something like that, now you get in the mail and it’s just junk.
I’ll never forget the day she got the diagnosis.
1) If you ever have the privilege of meeting my wife, you’d never know she has had 1/3 of her tongue removed.
2) I’ll never forgive the elites in Davos, currently getting coughed on for props… for shutting down every in-person…
It took me 3 YEARS to get diagnosed with cancer. I lost a third of my tongue.
Every doctor said:
1. Go home. It’s a COVID symptom.
2. Go home. You don’t look sick.
3. Go home. You are being dramatic.
I saw four doctors. I took steroids. I changed my diet. I had my teeth…
@mbrandolph
Whoa.
“It turns out that there’s nothing like having the option to get out that reinforces your desire to stay in.”
That is the truest thing I’ve heard in a long time
@mbrandolph
@Wealthandhappi
Interesting take. I don’t necessarily disagree either, personally I’m just starting to see more bad behavior crop up that gets excused by therapy.
@heyalexfriedman
Damn. I am so so sorry. No one should have to go through this, stories like this are literally why our company,
@wyzecam
, exists.
Security should be affordable for everyone, no one should feel like it’s out of reach ❤️.
@MKBHD
I guess what I mean here is that we currently take for granted that we think every post/photo/story on the internet was generated by a human.
That won’t be the case for much longer and will probably cause more distrust than trust in the internet as a useful info tool.
I’m 29 years old.
If you told me 10 years ago my life would look like this, there’s no way I would have believed you.
I’m the luckiest person on earth.
@sweatystartup
Worked for the Dept of Energy for years as a nuclear scientist.
The biggest issue is actually cost as the government has a stranglehold on keeping most private companies out of the business of nuclear energy with regulation.
Someone asked me what my growth plan was for Wyze subscriptions.
So here it is:
1. Ask customers what they want.
2. Build it.
3. Tell them we built it.
4. Repeat.
Dear 𝕏, please settle this debate between my wife and I:
Should you brush your teeth…
1) First thing in the morning.
2) After you drink morning coffee
Pick your number and explain why.
@ChrisMorganCT
Yes. This is useful.
The issue that none of the LLM AI Assistant devices today seem to understand is that humans are very visual people.
We want to see what's going on, review options, dig deeper and scroll imagery.
These devices do not do that and therefore are not…
