I know this is a little crazy, but Image him digging deep into the divorce and the children seprating and adding a more complex themes to the beloved film.

I am honestly pretty frustrated with Oura at this point.

My Oura Ring is only a little over two years old and has started failing to track my sleep several nights per week. I reached out, and Oura ran diagnostics that showed there were issues with my ring and its software connection. This was not caused by damage, misuse, or anything I did.

The response was basically that the ring is out of warranty, so I can get $100 off a new one. That feels ridiculous for a premium health device that also requires a monthly membership. I bought the ring, paid for the subscription, and now I am supposed to buy another one after two years because the product stopped working properly?

I like the idea of Oura, but this has made me seriously question the durability and value of the product. For people who have owned one long term, is this normal? Are these rings basically expected to fail after a couple of years?

Almost all of my interviews are now recorded through some kind of AI tool. I usually ask not to be recorded, but companies often push back, and it becomes awkward to challenge the process in the first five minutes of an interview.

I find this deeply concerning. There are many things candidates cannot fully discuss because of current or prior roles, confidentiality obligations, or simply because interviews require people to answer quickly and conversationally. When someone is being recorded, they are naturally going to say less. It changes the entire dynamic of the interview.

There is also a serious ownership and privacy issue. Who owns that recording? How long is it stored? Who can access it internally? Could it be shared with another employer, pulled up years later, or used to challenge something a candidate said under pressure? If someone says they have experience with a model or tool, and later that statement is interpreted differently, what protection does the candidate actually have?

It also seems obvious that this will age badly. In twenty years, are we going to see leaked interview recordings of executives, founders, public figures, or politicians from early in their careers? The fact that something was said in an interview should not mean it becomes permanent corporate data.

Many recruiters have also been told to use AI tools without much thought about consent, privacy, or candidate experience. Some barely understand the tools themselves, yet candidates are expected to accept being recorded and analyzed as if it is standard practice.

A lot of recruiters have been told by management to use AI to analyze candidates instead of trusting their own instict? It feels dystopian to be forced into an AI-recorded interview and then have to awkwardly argue for the right not to be recorded. What is the best way to opt out of this without making the interview uncomfortable?

Looking for tennis groups to play or clinics.

I have been thinking about this a lot lately as men and women tend to socialize with the same gender in childhood and highschool and college and all throughout life. And I was wondering the differences that emerge that are most prevalent and why they emerge ( For example: are their actual differences in the brain or is it because they are solving a different set of problems?)

The person I am hooking up with just asked me to be their boyfriend. I said I would think about it, as they said they have always had open relationships with their last three boyfriends and want one with me.

I am pretty flat out against open relationships, but I can be open minded. What I said was that I am totally fine with, say, a situation where we are both in Spain or Greece and want to have fun with a younger Spanish guy together for one night or a weekend, and then never see them again. But giving someone free rein to fuck whoever, wherever, whenever, in the city you live in just feels dirty to me? I do not really get it. How do open relationships typically work for people?

Is anyone noticing in their workplace that relatively older folks, 50+, always mention AI and how amazing it is but never use it?

Just an observation. I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this. I am earlier in my career and have used AI products since they came out (around 3 years), so I feel very confident in what they are very useful for and where they lack. Frequently, I get feedback like “just throw it in AI, so what AI has to say?” Which initially I thought was okay. Then I came to realize nobody over 50 has used these products at all over the last 3 years and are so bad at spotting AI slop and mistakes. In some ways, they feel the easiest to replace in this coming wave, I find the who dynamic so strange.

Might seem like an odd question but I am a very socal person but don't like to drink at all maybe a glass of champagne on New Years and Christmas Eve, and a negroni on my birthday. I have never had a drinking issue just not for me.

I am also an extremely social person I love going on and meeting new people going to bar etc. But when I get invited to team events and don't drink I feel so awakard being the only one not drinking? Would this actually effect my carreer or not at all.

I am interviewing now and a lot of people talk about the team culture and how people like to go out together I am trying for it not to be a turn off but why can't I just be a beast at my job and call it a day.

Looking to transition away from an investment role into tech. If I wanted to reach out to major firms in another industry, have people had success connecting through mutuals or alumni networks, asking for informational interviews on LinkedIn, and eventually getting referrals?

What are the dos and don’ts?

Wondering what the best spaces to network are that are non tradition. steam rooms? gyms? Casa?

Specifcally NYC

It seems kind of insane to me that gay marriage in America has only been legal for around 10 years when homosexuality has clearly existed throughout all of human history. There were also multiple ancient societies where same sex relationships were either accepted or at least not treated as some extreme moral issue.

So I am curious historically why homosexuality became so taboo in so many cultures, especially in the West.

I am also curious why acceptance of homosexuality is often framed as a uniquely modern or progressive idea when there are many historical examples of societies where same-sex relationships were tolerated or even normalized long before the modern era. Why do we tend to think of acceptance as something new if it has existed at different points throughout history?

I know this is not true or I hope. Can anyone who felt the same please give me story of how this is not true so I can use this as fuel for my brain to not trick me. Thank you!

I have been doing EMDR for about a year, but it can make me feel different every time. I have gotten through most of the harder processing work and am sort of slamming it at this point, sometimes doing 45 minutes straight in sessions.

I find:
Day 1: exhaustion
Day 2: hyper emotional
Day 3: emotional
Day 4: calm and relaxed

Obviously, these could correlate with other things, but I was wondering if anyone knows the science behind how long it takes the brain to process through the full cycle, or what other people’s experiences have been.

This question is for people that have interviewed lots of people. What works better? I know this can vary, but for someone with 2 to 6 years of experience, I always thought your background walkthrough should be around 5 minutes. Should it really be closer to 2 minutes? How much time should you spend talking about each role? How much detail should you go into?
