    They don't let you download the image unless you have the right user agent. How impolite of them.

    Love it. Seems a lot like duolingo, but with a lighter UI. Can you please add shortcuts, so you can type 1, 2 or 3 instead of clicking?

    Similar to Goodhart's law: When a measure becomes a target it ceases to be a good measure [0]. You see it everywhere and it usually happens when we try to quantify a quality (like "competence"...) [0] https://en.wi

    From Wikipedia: "To maintain morale, wartime censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States" Maybe that's a reason for it

    Reminds me of this [0], no offense :D The study only investigates problematic internet use and it was conducted in Italy though. So yes, that generalized title statement is bullshit. [0] https://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php
