  • This is one of the conspiracy theories I believe in.

    Most tech workers buy lunch in their local area. If they wfh, they'll make lunch and not spend money. Meaning less commerce in the city... Makes city look bad.

    Also, if you're coming to said city, if you can choose to live 2 hours north, suddenly that choice looks terrible from a quality of life pov. You'll likely rent/buy a place in said city. Keeping real estate values higher. (This is another value that benefits both govt and company since they so big they own the majority of buildings they use)

  • Insurance companies can't match real estate prices of the office buildings they own AND the tax incentives large cities are giving them to force their ppl back

  • It's the same as it's always been. We gravitate towards what we feel.

    The internet has just allowed certain groups who wmight be ashamed to announce their true feelings to say the quiet part out loud anonymously. This gets the next generation to not see a problem with it and go from there.

    As an example. Take an impressionable young boy (14-18), he has trouble getting dates, doesn't have a great home life. Little bit of a loner. Before the internet, hed have to figure out a purpose. Maybe he'd start going to a gym or hitting the books harder to be smarter or something.... With the Internet he's able to find "friends", he finds a community, that community may lead him down dark paths.... Where some in better living situations may say "this is too much" and walk away, he doesn't have anything to walk to... So he gets more and more indoctrinated into the cause.

  • I used to very frequently. (For about 3-4 months, 5-7x a week)

    Don't anymore. Wish I did

    1. Admitting that I don't have control over my symptoms.
    2. Meds. Taking vivanse and wellbutrin in the morning and experimenting (with Dr approval) Adderall in the afternoon
    3. Making sure I have some exercise as part of my morning every day routine (biking/walking on my way to work, going for a walk before walk when I wfh)
    4. Getting out for a walk bike ride during the day
    5. Talk therapy with a CBT pro
