If you changed this to "historically, 20% of college students have been self-medicating" more people would find this believable and even think the number is low. But like you're never gonna fuckin believe the thing people self-medicate for, I'm serious.
'i don't believe that 20% of kids have a disability' okay, why not? because you're just thinking about visible disabilities? because you're indexing your estimate to how many kids were diagnosed 20 years ago? why should i believe that's a reliable baseline?

Everyone knows the "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" -> Blade Runner one, but "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" -> Total Recall is another funny one.

Cede Idaho to Canada and make it their problem
OK so here's the question:
Are there any territorial transfers that you support anywhere in the world which would be against the wishes of a majority of the current inhabitants?

I guess the thing about AI is that like the history of tech is littered with examples of people trading a superior, extremely expensive product for a cheaper one that is easier to mass produce. This might make sense as a trade off for like, socks. It is much better for everyone to have enough socks

I used to wear this back in 2018 when I worked a super toxic job. I remember one day sobbing in a local coffee shop for 30 min before going back to the office…my eyeliner stayed in place
That I bought it again is probably a good recession indicator
