There is a fallacy named after this I'm pretty sure too! The bottom of page 3 of this paper gives a brief explanation as to why humans believe things are getting worse when they aren't.
The clutch in my wife's car started slipping on Christmas day. We had to limp it home and switch to my car which is an '89 Honda Prelude. My wife doesn't like my car but at least it gets around for now. First world problem.
My wife and I were offered to live in her father's rental house for free as long as she was in college. We were very excited to move in and pulled up to the house a week after our wedding. We opened the door and it was a disaster zone. It looked like someone had left all their belongings but trashed the place before leaving. Overturned couches, clothing everywhere, and ROACHES... oh god, SO MANY ROACHES! I walked into the living room and picked up a discarded baby sock in the middle of the room and at least three roaches fell as I picked it up and scattered. Every single item in the house was the same.
After throwing everything in the house away, we had to bug bomb the house a dozen times to finally have some semblance of a home without roaches everywhere. We would still see them at night after turning on a light in a dark room for at least 4 months. Had to keep all food locked away until we stopped randomly seeing them.
Did… did you include an away message in your comment? Or am I missing a joke here?
The writer of this article (and the others that have been shared from this blog) need to grammar check their writing. Decent amount of writing mistakes that make the articles feel unprofessional. Other than that, decent blog.
Don't most states have Romeo and Juliet laws that specifically say a 19 year old wanting to date a 15 year old is acceptable? Maybe it's only a 3 year gap or something. IANAL.
Pro tip: Avoid caffeine if you are an anxious person. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and my doctor told me to drop caffeine and holy crap that worked great as a quick fix. Still get anxiety a lot but its not nearly as bad as when I would drink coffee in the mornings. Also, getting off caffeine helped my energy levels dramatically. No more crash every day at around 2pm!
Yes, I work for a private jet company and the FAA has mandatory training we have to take and the gist of it is, if you see something suspicious; report it. It usually doesn’t end up like this, they usually just surveil the target to get more info from what I understand.
Bought a belt and wallet from hanksbelts.com and they have aged very well! They come with a 100 year warranty so I'm sure if anything does happen I'll be covered, though I doubt they ever get destroyed in my lifetime.
Such a nuanced icon, this is definitely the sophisticated image that should be used.
How many times does he need to say “real PS2 hardware”? We get it man.
Read the last paragraph on page 3. Things are not getting worse. Your perception of the world around you is cynical as a by product of our evolution and saturation of news/media.
