I feel this too. I could only guess at the cause. Maybe it's just the demographics of social media swinging younger, or those struggling simply being more vocal online. Both? Neither?

I'm an older millennial, but do own a home and have kids. I have friends and acquaintances, - some who didn't go to college - that also own homes and have kids. Sure, the houses might be modest (and include PMI payments for some), and nobody's taking lavish vacations every year, but it's certainly not as bleak as my social feeds always make it out to be.

I'm running windows 10 on a first Gen i7-930. I've upgraded my ram and video card over the years but still on a crappy hdd. Windows isnt lightning fast by any means. But it's not unbearable. Perhaps my mind will blow when I finally upgrade.

My pc isn't eligible for upgrade to eleven. Guess I'm sol then.

Same the normal ads aren't much of an issue for me, especially since some are skippabke. But about a year or so ago, I was getting 30 minute ads. They were skippable, but if I was just playing the shows in the living room while making dinner in the kitchen or whatever, I had to constantly go hit the button on the remote or be stuck watching 30 minute infomercial for a product I'd never even consider buying. Are they still allowing these long ads?

I agree with you here. There may be a better service out there, but I certainly haven't found it yet. I use Spotify in my car (via USB to my phone), in my kitchen, master bath, living room and kids rooms on Google mini's or Amazon Echos... And I don't have to go out and download anything, it just plays what I want when I want it.

Really curious what the dead giveaway was for using chatGPT. I feel like most cover letters are already written to sound super flowery and exaggerated.

I write a lot of emails for work, but I'm not the most eloquent writer, so I get wordy.

I sometimes feed my email into chatgpt and ask it rewrite it to be more concise, but remain in a friendly but professional tone. Boom, done.
