It's not just psychological either. There's evidence of epigenetic changes from stress that persist for generations afterwards.

I wanted to buy a mini flashlight that clips to my glasses (needed more light for detail work) and every single listing was obviously a scam.

The policy is usually if the street has more than two lanes, do not jaywalk. One car might stop and then an aggressive driver behind them won’t know why and will change lanes and run you over.

...so you're saying that if I want my kids to have a lucrative job in IT, I should block just enough of the internet for them to get annoyed enough to learn to code, but not so much that they can't get the resources for coding.

Yeah I started out in play-by-post, so having good communication was essential for managing expectations (like if you are trying to have a dramatic moment, you need to make sure the GM/players don't just assume you're being an idiot and turn your dramatic moment into slapstick comedy).

This is, I think, largely a product of me learning how to play ttrpgs in the play-by-post scene, where it's more or less expected to have a character with a proposed arc and detailed characterization notes (otherwise, your application will not be accepted into the game).

I mean, I routinely do this in my home games. I have a game that hasn't even started yet and I've written out an entire document showing the arc I'm planning to take the character on and what sorts of triggers to look out for in game for progressing the character's growth.

Amazon was already sued for something very similar. They had an algorithm trained off successful resumes, but because the resumes they trained it on were all white men, the algorithm only accepted resumes that at least looked like they'd been written by white men.

the last time i used a self checkout, I started using it but was too slow because I didn't know what I was doing and then a cashier just came over and checked out all my groceries for me while I looked over her shoulder awkwardly.

...I did something similar with the Marvels. For the first 10 min, I was watching everyone in the film communicate solely through beeps, which I thought was a bold choice and then I realized that my headphones had become partially dislodged.

There are more interesting stories even within what they have the rights to. Like the Scouring of the Shire.

I used to think I lived in a suburb as a child, but then I actually visited one and realized no, I actually live in the residential area of a city. I would routinely walk myself to the local museum/botanical gardens as a 12 year old and use my parents' membership to get in.

Without spoiling, because it is the whole plot, the satire in Fallout 2 is even less subtle than that somehow. Also, I'd recommend giving Fallout 2 a shot, it's easily my favorite Fallout game.
