Mr H Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 On 8/12/2025 at 7:39 PM, Mitochondrial Eve said: The Financial Times has published an analysis of American changes in personality over a ten year period from 2014 to 2024 including "a troubling decline in conscientiousness". Extroversion and trust have also plummeted whilst neuroticism has risen steeply. The changes, linked to smartphone addiction, digital media and streaming services whilst coupled with less face to face interaction, are particularly marked in individuals under 40 years of age - especially Generation Z. https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/alarming-new-study-finds-smartphones-ruining-our-brains-at-unprecedented-speed/ Alarming New Study Finds Smartphones Ruining Our Brains at Unprecedented Speed On a personal level, I have certainly noticed changes in the people around me which has picked up pace over the last 5 years. In my current workplace, for example, communication is dominated by email and messaging apps such as Teams or Whatsapp rather than colleagues showing much inclination to catch up in person or pick up the phone. Relatively new to this place of work, it has come as a bit of a culture shock as team work (agreeableness) is lacking - never have I known such reluctance among colleagues to be helpful and nor have I witnessed such a lack of care especially to important details. Reading and understanding, critical thinking, problem solving ability, initiative and common sense are other traits which I am sure have suffered to the point that it's like spoon-feeding a dumbed down collective. I wonder if this is the norm now (which this analysis may point towards) or if it is just this particular workplace... My previous job was more of a boiling frog situation so perhaps the transition, whilst there, seemed less stark. Just Rd this myself... Major changes I have seen, like you say communication mainly. Genuine lack of care for colleagues or the company itself. Everyone walking on egg shells regarding what words they use. Extreme lack of initiative vs before. If everything isn't laid out just go to HR. People work much less hard and much less hours than before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to nobody gives a toss and the vast majority are totally miserable despite barely doing two hours of actual work a day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is banter and fun has been removed. No one going for drinks together etc. no bonding. On a positive note as not all bad, I have seen negative sexual banter towards women removed. This used to be commonplace in the offices. @Mitochondrial Eve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This used to be commonplace in the offices. @Mitochondrial Eve As one of its saving graces, wokeism isn't a thing in my current workplace. It is refreshing that I can speak my mind pretty bluntly without fear of consequences and that banter from some quarters (not necessarily of the negative sort you are referring to) is still alive and well. I think the leadership team have too much on to worry about whether employees are toeing the politically correct line and seem to be pretty old school types too with more traditional values. Having said that, I haven't tested the waters in terms of more apparently taboo topics such as transgenderism. There are social things which go on but mostly only leadership / management engage - probably to try and set an example - with far less engagement among the lower echelons. Attempts have been made recently to try and get a certain team out for drinks after work but it fell a bit flat. There are team building days too but these events seem a bit like a chore and team spirit doesn't transfer into the every day working practices with colleagues returning afterwards to their silos. As I said earlier in this thread, the starkest difference to me is that basic understanding and problem solving ability has collapsed. I see it at higher and lower levels. Colleagues avoid issues and I think it stems from not being able to deal with them - it's like there is an inability to give attention to things, concentrate, listen, read and understand. I could chalk it up to lack of time but that doesn't entirely sit right me me because we are now encountering far worse problems down the line than would have been the case if time was invested in the first instance getting the correct understanding of matters. Many people just seem unable to think and compute any more and lack any desire to understand whilst being disconnected from others. In years gone by, we used to learn from each other and exchange ideas and knowledge etc but it seems to increasingly be becoming a thing of the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding problem solving abilities. I personally found MASSIVE difference between large companies and small companies. The large ones people really don't think for themselves at all. But really small ones there's nowhere to hide and you work directly with the owners who are usually very demanding.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numnuts Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 On 8/12/2025 at 7:58 PM, Anti Facts Sir said: Tories' crime commissioner reckons the public don't do enough to deter acts of shoplifting if they see it happen. Yeah, right mate...like ANYONE in 2025 is going to risk being stabbed, shot or otherwise wounded and injured for the sake of a store's profits? And, more folks are being forced in to shoplifting by their economic circumstances nowadays. Those who don't shoplift also know that, so will probably be less likely to intervene. The shoplifters should definitely stick to the supermarkets though. On 8/17/2025 at 11:28 PM, Mr H said: WTF is this? Woman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northern star Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) Vile story, but maybe meant to distract from the vileness of the aristocratic end of the operation, seeing as theyre trying to get Maxwell off, at the moment. No doubt all these operations link up. Procuring happens at ground or swamp level up. The police involved in this give you hope there are decent people out there.

No doubt all these operations link up. Procuring happens at ground or swamp level up. The police involved in this give you hope there are decent people out there. If only they could go after the ones with lots of money, the ones we see in the media all the time, maybe then we can say law enforcements are working hard to get rid of these monsters. They always seem to arrest the low life pedos (which is good in itself) but the bigger pedo rings are made up of celebrities, CEOs of corporations, politicians and priests but somehow the sick f**ks always get away with it… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northern star Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) How do they, or we, know Epstein was ever even in prison? There's NO PROOF whatsoever he was ever in the jail, while people are examining the footage of the night he died in there. No proof Maxwell is in a jail either. She doesnt sound like a distressed inmate in her latest brazen efforts to crawl her way back into society...laconically laughing, while telling lies about just about everything. And here's Jean Luc Brunel, his cap says it all. Probably not dead either. All of them part of the Zionist power cabal.

cemeterycrow Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Gunman attacks Minneapolis school children in chapel, killing two and injuring 17 Quote A black-clad gunman killed two children and wounded 17 other people on Wednesday, when he opened fire on students attending Mass at a Minneapolis Catholic school, authorities said, a shocking outburst of violence at the beginning of the U.S. school year. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/gunman-attacks-minneapolis-school-children-chapel-killing-two-injuring-17-2025-08-27/ Information is starting to come out about what was obviously a very sick and disturbed individual. After a few minutes of this video he says this message brought to you by Blackrock and Exxon mobil. Strange thing to say and could just be part of his psychosis. I'd like to know what prescription medicine he was taking. A photo from four years ago reading a dryer manual on YouTube The mother previously worked at the church of annunciation Documents concerning his transgenderism. Anyhow this could just be what it appears to be at first glance.,a sick individual who murdered and injured innocent children but there's a lot to unpack so I wanted to get it all posted in one place here. And it goes without saying thoughts are with the victims and families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
