Early in the pandemic Ed Bolian posed the question of whether these records should have an asterisk next to them. To some extent, I think they should.

One thing I noticed— it seemed like people were running red lights with an abandon that I'd never witnessed before.

It was like they just didn't care anymore.

Anecdotally, whenever I'd mention this to someone they would say they noticed the very same thing, although I realize that data point could be meaningless.

Still, let me know if you noticed it where you are too.

I wonder what the ages of the selected participants in the shown data set were.

I recognized all of the male words, but I sent the female words to my girlfriend, and she barely knew any. She suggested that younger women might not know these words.

That could just be a self-rationalization for not knowing them, but I didn't see the paper address the issue of age much, or generational changes.

I wonder how that plays into this.

Honestly, remembering this can be a useful coping mechanism.

Even most of us here have had jobs at some point in our lives that were torture by comparison to what we do now.

My worst day of software beats the hell out of being a valet at a cheap hotel.

The Gangnam style half wasn't so bad, actually, and it's fun to imagine which character you were.
