#2> A new survey of 2,000 Gen Zers and millennials by the self-improvement app RiseGuide
...so a sample of a subset of workers who are all looking for self-help? The survey might be self-selecting for people with anxiety disorders, methinks.

indeed. Looking at their consumption of self-help content may be my personal single biggest predictor of anxiety in people.

#4article ignores the reality that the vast majority of calls anyone receives nowadays are scams of one form or another
they aren’t the simple telemarketer scams of yesterday; many are sophisticated attacks with high-consequence outcomes that require considerable effort to navigate, if engaged.
Disengagement is currently an important survival tool.

All the solutions have become problems themselves now. Anyone feel in control of blocking spam calls? What do you do? Asking for an iOS-native guide.

Pretty easy.
1) Have a phone number with an area code from a place you haven’t lived since 2004 and nobody legitimate would ever call you from.
2) entirely block that area code.
That takes care of 98% of it.

Can try this for unknown numbers: https://support.apple.com/en-us/111106, most will just hang up
