GB News: Snowflake Gen Z and Millennials 'too nervous' to order at restaurants as a THIRD ask someone to do it for them
Young people, particularly those between 18 and 24, struggle with "menu anxiety" at restaurants and prefer someone else to order for them. Factors contributing to this anxiety include the cost of the meal, not finding something appetizing on the menu, and regretting their choice. Social media is often used to determine what dishes look appealing. Many young adults also feel overwhelmed by too many menu options and will only go to a restaurant if they have looked at the menu beforehand. Pronouncing menu options correctly and being jealous of others' orders are additional sources of anxiety. This "menu anxiety" has been heightened by the pandemic, which limited socializing opportunities.

The Telegraph: The anti-semitic culture of academia cannot fix itself by more witch-hunting
The revelations of antisemitism on elite college campuses have exposed the moral corruption of our most prestigious universities. The response of academic leaders to address the issue has been dysfunctional and inadequate, leading to calls for reform. However, there is a danger that giving more power to those who have ruined these institutions will only worsen the situation. The next generation is even more intolerant, and it will take a generational effort to break the ideological monopolies on campuses and restore intellectual freedom. Clear policies on public safety, discrimination, and harassment, as well as substantial educational changes, are necessary to confront hate and ensure intellectual diversity. However, responding in a heated moment with the wrong policies could delay or prevent vital reform.
