In the 1990s simple things worked better. It was estimated that at one time AOL helped more folks get married than any other platform. The estimates were in the 100s of 1000s and the 5 year tracking showed 98% still married.

The AOL marriage phenomenon aligns with Dr. Cacioppo's research showing text-based communication enabled deeper self-disclosure and more authentic personality matching than visual-first platforms. Early digital courtship emphasized intellectual connection over superficial traits.

Bring back AOL finding marriage culture

At some point, people online will have to instigate and go through a period of intentional simplification. Otherwise, what will online life be in 10 years? 20? 50? Just because technology supports more and more and more interaction — does not mean that more is better.

It was new & it was hard to trust but one had a chance then. Now you can't trust anything or anyone.

now we have tinder, and the marriage rate to just get married is 2%. The number of hookups > 20 persons per person is 95% 😂

Just goes to show it’s what’s on the inside that counts…

This was an interesting assertion. I remember all this VERY clearly. Something like X Platform and especially Tinder is WAY simpler UI/HCI than AOL was. What's the difference? WE are different. There is MUCH more cynical "game theory" that people now, insincerely do.

Sheen: I was watching Kash Patel—that is astonishing to me. There is no possible way that any of these people at the head of any of the agencies that we have right now would ever make it in any other administration.. And when they look at each other, they don't see anyone on the other side that is better than they are, is more heroic, has more courage. They in a real sense, I suspect they despise each other because there isn't anyone on the other side that is better than they are, and they are looking at the worst reflection of themselves

Nick Wright says LeBron hinting at playing more than 1 season helps Miami’s chances and hurts Cleveland: “It did feel to me over the weekend that when LeBron put to voice that he is not planning to play just 1 more year, I think that helped Miami more than any other place… the infrastructure of Riley and Spo, becomes such a bigger asset than if it’s just one year. If it’s more than one year I think it matters a lot. That’s where the upside of a guy like Giannis… that helped Miami’s case quite a bit… I think it hurts Cleveland.” (Via First Things First)

Steve Waugh - “We were always amazed every-time we played England, Devon Malcolm’s name wasn’t in the team sheet. They always picked medium pacer who were consistent but they never really went for the match winner.” England won only 5 of their 27 Ashes Tests in the 1990s, and Malcolm was a factor in four of those wins - more than any other bowler.

Matt Damon says Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey was so demanding that only one person visited the set in six months. Ben Affleck. "You were the only guest in six months of shooting." Damon says the reason was simple. "The workload was incredible." "It was such an ambitious project that there was no time for anything else." He called it the most demanding movie he's ever made. "I've never worked on a film that required every single person to give maximum effort." Then he put it into perspective. "Every location on that movie would've been the hardest location on any other movie I'd ever done." "And every day of work was harder than any day on any other movie I'd ever worked on." Even Ben Affleck joked that it reminded him of when they were kids, calling each other to ask: "So... what's it like shooting your movie?"

Currently visiting Angkor Wat and it truly lives up to the hype: genuinely one of the wonders of the world. Grander and more magnificent than any other temples I've seen (which makes sense given it is, in fact, the largest religious complex in the world). Also a sobering place to visit in such a currently poor country as Cambodia: incredible to think there was a time when it was far more advanced than we were in Europe. And maybe it'll be the case again one day, so go the cycles of civilizations.

MrBeast put people of all ages to go against each other in various contest and in the end the 28 year old showed no mercy to the 7 year old to win the $250K 😅 - he felt bad and still gave the 7 year old kid $10K for making it past 98 other contestants.
