I have friends who are in scientific research and 100% of them from multiple institutions are affected by Trump. Every single one.

One is out of a job in early Jan. The others over the next 3 months. It’s really bad.

American here. Maybe I’m going through the five stages of grief and now I’m at acceptance.

Everything in your first paragraph sounds accurate and maybe something that probably needed to happen. America as the World Police is/has been a problem. There were some positives, but a lot of negatives.

The sooner America gets off the stage, the better. We don’t deserve the recognition. We can’t even feed our own people and yet wield tremendous influence internationally, and maybe it’s a positive thing that it ends soon.

At age 17, I remember running 2 miles to school and then back home so I can save my bus money. I was also playing sports, doing some heavy lifting then repeating it over and over again.

Now I walk a few blocks and I’m like “Enough exercise for today!”

All th AI bots making posts aren’t helping with growth?

If you’re using Dropbox in 2025, you may already have all of your private data shared with somebody.

They “say” they don’t feed it to AI. But Dropbox is bleeding money since 2018 and at some point, will be sold to the highest bidder and from that point, you might as well just store your data on somebody’s random website.

“backlash”

Trump was doing crazy shit like this all during his first term.

And no punishments. The backlash is crossing arms and pouting.
