China’s new ‘social credit system’ is an dystopian nightmare
Imagine calling a friend. Only instead of hearing a ring tone you hear a police siren, and then a voice intoning, “Be careful in your dealings with this person.” Would that put a damper on your rel…

These microscopic mites live on your face
You almost certainly have animals living on your face. You can't see them, but they're there. They are microscopic mites, eight-legged creatures rather like spiders. Almost every human being has them. They spend their entire lives on our faces, where they eat, mate and finally die. Before you start buying extra-strong facewash, you should know that these microscopic lodgers probably aren't a serious problem. They may well be almost entirely harmless. What's more, because they are so common they could help reveal our history in unparalleled detail.

The Shady Link Between Sunscreen and Your Health

Pathological Consumption Has Become So Normalised That We Scarcely Notice It
There’s nothing they need, nothing they don’t own already, nothing they even want. So you buy them a solar-powered waving queen; a belly button brush; a silver-plated ice cream tub holder; a “hilarious” inflatable zimmer frame; a confection of plastic and electronics called Terry the Swearing Turtle; or – and somehow I find this significant – a Scratch Off World wall map.

How to stop worrying about what other people think
To have a winner’s mentality, you have to stop caring what other people think. You’ve gotta get quiet in your own head. So many people make big life decisions based on other people’s opinions. You care so much about what your mom, dad, brother, or friends think that you’re allowing them to dictate your actions in life.

The Nastiest Feud in Science
Gerta keller was waiting for me at the Mumbai airport so we could catch a flight to Hyderabad and go hunt rocks. “You won’t die,” she told me cheerfully as soon as I’d said hello. “I’ll bring you back.” Death was not something I’d considered as a possible consequence of traveling with Keller, a 73-year-old paleontology and geology professor at Princeton University. She looked harmless enough: thin, with a blunt bob, wearing gray nylon pants and hiking boots, and carrying an insulated ShopRite supermarket bag by way of a purse.

Here Are the 14 Habits of Highly Miserable People
How to succeed at self-sabotage. Most of us claim we want to be happy—to have meaningful lives, enjoy ourselves, experience fulfillment, and share love and friendship with other people and maybe other species, like dogs, cats, birds, and whatnot. Strangely enough, however, some people act as if they just want to be miserable, and they succeed remarkably at inviting misery into their lives, even though they get little apparent benefit from it, since being miserable doesn’t help them find lovers and friends, get better jobs, make more money, or go on more interesting vacations. Why do they do this?

Commented in YouTube’s top creators are burning out and breaking down en masse
“be careful what you wish for it might come true”
Some of this is due to pressure of YouTube and social media and whatnot. However, a lot of this is just EQ. Or lack thereof
Life is not bliss on tap. I don’t know how else to put it
“This is all I ever wanted and I’m so unhappy”
Well... yeah. Welcome to reality. Where everything is made up and the points don’t matter. Joke
But seriously what you want is not necessarily what will make you happy. In fact, want is an impediment to happiness if you wanna get easterner about it
http://funnycenter.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/I-Want-Happiness.jpg
So if you need to go through the five stages of grieving to get over the loss of your innocence then you should do that. And perhaps next time don’t rush with such haste towards your life ambitions so you can transition through your naivety hymen break a little less violently. Because it will happen again. Time and time again
Life is all about shattering your expectations so get good at dealing with having your expectations shattered. Keep the lessons, discard the heartache and move on
Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional
It is unfortunate you chose as your profession to deal with all this in the public eye and that makes it more tricky but it is your choice. And your acting choice. You can step away into blissful anonymity at any point if you choose. So bear that in mind

How Baby Boomers Broke America

The Linux Filesystem Explained
Back in 1996 I learned how to install software on my spanking new Linux before really understanding the topography of the filesystem. This turned out to be a problem, not so much for programs, because they would just magically work even though I hadn't a clue of where the actual executable files landed. The problem was the documentation.

8 ways to replace overwhelm with positive growth
The best advice we give is usually the advice we most need to listen to. This is the case for me when it comes to getting overwhelmed. I’m far too good at saying yes. My to do list usually contains at least 5 miracles to perform before breakfast. And every time I eliminate a task that isn’t important or essential, I have a tendency to think of two things I should do in its place.
