the problem is that mostly just bad news gets shared and reports on but even goods news is reporting it's often in the style of "awesome! the puppy crushing machine will no longer operate 24/7!" which IS good news but most people will react with some variation of "the WHAT?!?" and can't really take it as good news

putting an ingredient that you don't mind but others hate (or find it doesn't go well with the specific meal) into a meal is great way to get more food for yourself

like, I don't agree with either end of the spectrum, but something that kinda irks me is the argument of "you only have one life, use it!" (basically YOLO)

because, like, you can with exactly the same amount of reasonableness say "you only have one life, protect it!" and it's equally as annoying

hate it when I mix up "you can't be serious" and "you've got to be kidding me" and just mash them together thus saying the opposite of what I mean

the only thing standing between me and genuinely considering myself a bad person is my belief that I don't deserve to have an opinion

"if you take handwritten notes with a pen, do you usually use a color that isn’t black?"

see, you'd think this would be just a normal question with a simple yes or no answer. but no. it's actually a hugely context dependent question whose answer ratio will be skewed.

you see, what is actually being asked here is "... do you usually use a nonstandard colour for your area". but since the asker assumed that the standard answer is black everywhere, people answering from areas where blue is the standard pen colour would shift the answer towards "yes" even though that's not in the spirit of the question and thus make them think that much more of the world is nonconformist (or whatever they were seeking with this question) than is actually true
