ChatGPT-Induced Psychosis: A Hidden Mental Health Crisis

As millions turn to AI for comfort, a hidden crisis is emerging: ChatGPT-induced psychosis. This deep dive explores how human minds are unraveling under the weight of conversations with machines-without anyone stepping in to stop it.Matt Hussey (The Brink β Exploring Modern Life, Technology, and Being Human)

I finished reading Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio.
I was kept mildly interested through the book, sometimes dipping beneath bored and sometimes tossed off the surface--airborne momentarily and thrilled--by moving beats. I would say I didn't feel gripped until the last 10%.
I've heard the purple prose* (definition at end if you're not familiar with the term) drones on less and is more effective when used in the second book. It was a problem in this first book. Those moments of some given point, carried too long with a lofty air, make the book a slog or cringe in some chapters. (Note: chapters are 5 to 10 pages in this, which is nice for hit and run reading.)
All in all, I see the potential set up for a grand series. This is just a long set up, mang.
---
*Purple prose is flowery language that can range from describing even a horror in a way that rings beautiful and cutting (good use) to self-indulgence that reads like begging / tooting that they are the smartest and most initiated redditer (bad use).
I should read Wheel of Time. It's asking a lot though π©π
I'll probably listen to it (if there's a 2029, I'll listen to it, lmaoooo) while running.
So for the rest of my natural life.

weeks, headlines have been filled with warnings from major retailers about impending price hikes due to tariffs reinstated by President Donald Trump. Big Box stores like Walmart and Target have been quick to suggest that tariffs on imported goods, particularly from China, have left them with no choice but to raise prices for American families.
Retailers exploit tariffs to justify price hikes on products not affected by trade policies, contradicting Trump's America First agenda to lower consumer costsChad Wolf (Fox News)
Letβs be clear, these decisions are more about raising profit margins and going against Trumpβs agenda to bring costs down for Americans than responding to any actual economic pressure.
Tariffs are a strategic tool. The Trump administration has always been clear about that. Tariffs are designed to level the playing field, incentivize domestic production, counter predatory trade practices β especially from the Chinese Communist Party β and put America First.
Walmart was quickly discovered raising prices on goods not effected by Tariffs.

You can't take something that doesn't exist. Women were never willing nor able to fight for these rights.
And men don't enforce them because they're simps either, they only do it for money.
So all Epstein had to do was get his contacts to pay the right people to look the other way.
I hate how capcut has gotten to. Ive tried davcihi resolve but i find it isint as easy as capcut. I want to try a open source video editor for my linux mint laptop that is really free and so easy even a child could learn it.
Im up for suggestions or a change of my mindset.
I you want open-source then your best choice is either Shotcut or Kdenlive.
Shotcut is one of the simplest editor I've ever used...but only if you have simple edits to do, the more you wanna do something less simple the worst it gets.
Kdenlive on the other hand is fine to use in most use cases, but can be a bit tricky to understand at first.
So I always suggest Shotctut if you're sure you won't do crazy edits, Kdenlive otherwise, or to just use both if you are unsure.
