It's okay if you don't like frontlines, but you want the tomes. I get that, but it's pretty counterintuitive to type that in alliance chat and not play the gamemode.
I'm just seeing a lot of infighting in my groups when the new map was just born like 3 days ago. 🫠

Rather than strengthening as traditional monetary theory suggests, the yen actually weakened following the announcement. This counterintuitive response stems from the yen carry trade, a strategy where investors borrow in low-yielding yen to invest in higher-yielding currencies.

So, in a counterintuitive way, Adams may have done rent stabilized tenants a favor here.
Yes, they may pay $50-$100 more in rent on the next lease renewal, but the building will be better maintained than would otherwise be the case.

Even some smart people, and I'm not saying Trump is smart by the way, but even some smart people don't understand that percentage increases can't be reversed by doing the same percentage decrease. It's counterintuitive but percentages aren't reversible.

In “Anna Christie,” starring Michelle Williams, Tom Sturridge “gives a counterintuitive performance, one so at odds with the play’s romance and the performances around him that it sinks the ship,” writes Helen Shaw. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/MXRf1Z

Here’s the counterintuitive move: design your newsletter as a series of ritualized micro-asks embedded in editorial beats. One line that invites a single-click signal, one tiny personalization survey once a quarter, one mid-story micro-challenge that invites a reply.

This makes no intuitive sense. There is no obvious reason why constant growth in fast fashion, SUVs, etc. is necessary so that we can have MRIs and chemo drugs.
Of course counterintuitive things can be true. But then Levitz would have to make an actual argument for why these things are connected.

Degrowth proponents often suggest that America can slash its resource use by over 50% -- while still expanding the *good* sectors, such as healthcare.
I think this betrays a naivety about how resource-intensive modern medicine is www.vox.com/politics/472...

Haven't read it yet but the Abstract sounds counterintuitive, "voters exhibit a strong capacity to discern differences in quality and ideology across offices and incorporate this information into their vote choice."
Isn't this the opposite of what we have learned since Converse?

I just published a short Substack piece on cancer screening, overdiagnosis, and why finding more cancer is not always the same as better care. It’s a counterintuitive topic that really matters for patients and clinicians alike, and it’s personal for me. jamesstein18.substack.com/p/why-more-c...

Hadn't read the Denny Carter piece before; that was good. In the "fun/silly counterintuitive take on a Christmas movie" genre, it made me think of an old favorite on how if you're in It's a Wonderful Life, you'd really rather be living in Pottersville than Bedford Falls www.salon.com/2001/12/22/p...
All hail Pottersville! - Salon.com
The "bad" town in "It's a Wonderful Life" jumps and jives 24/7 with hot bars and cool chicks -- while "wholesome" Bedford Falls is a claustrophobic snooze.

Surely you jest. Doing something that productive would require effective messaging & motivation to win. It's counterintuitive to think that Dems have no interest in either but their (in)actions speak louder than their words.

It’s his relationships with people in the party that explains his behavior. He likes getting information from them, thinks they’re generally good and savvy, and he can always feel like he has the savvy take or he’s arguing something counterintuitive that no one else is arguing but the smart insiders

I know people who swear by Vegas Pro (originally owned by Sonic Foundry).
I tried it years ago - Sony bought it & were trying to elevate it as a Premiere/FCP competitor. I found it counterintuitive, but I suspect that's a personal preference thing. Likely the UI has evolved a lot in 15(?) years.

Actually there was a very counterintuitive situation in the late 90s with a “Ley del Suelo”. This law was meant to ease up new construction and restrain home prices by removing restrictions to building.
