Why do they put deer crossing signs on busy highways? It’s such a terrible place to suggest deer cross the road. Yes, that’s an example of a clear misunderstanding of what’s going on. The signs are not causing deer to cross, and neither is

It’s generally a good idea to look into events a tad more than just reading a headline before running around posting about them. This is especially true when the headline seems to confirm one’s beliefs about something. In fact, most of the

Don’t forget that the people who’ve convinced themselves the US government is bad so they look at China doing something far worse or far more extreme and try to argue it’s the same - it’s because of predictable cognitive biases that more se

I would say that the Citibank loan payment fiasco was mostly due to bad software design - which yes is mostly due to bad management priorities and validation. I don’t think most people look at that and say “that was pure user error, the sof

Mpox showed signs of being a serious issue and did impact a significant number of people. No need to be dismissive. It’s not just like we were in year two of a global pandemic altering all the norms when that new mpox popped up is it?

The ccp pays visits to relatives who still reside in China - and sometimes those abroad - for behaviors of people who’ve emigrated out of China. Tiktok gives them easy insight on whose relatives need a visit. Second, it’s easy to find secre

I would hazard to guess many don’t have a choice due to the flexibility compared to a minimum wage job. Are they doing it out of “happiness” if a 9-5 is impossible to fit in their day?
