"Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a bold type face? Why are judges more likely to deny parole before lunch? Why do we assume a good-looking person will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways we make choices: fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational...

"Be honest: if your job didn't exist, would anybody miss it? Have you ever wondered why not? Up to 40% of us secretly believe our jobs probably aren't necessary. In other words: they are bullshit jobs. This book shows why, and what we can do about it. In the early twentieth century, people...

may be a controversial opinion but guns are generally quite bad for self defense in that if both people have guns and you pull yours out to spook them, they're more incentivised to shoot you to kill. quicker escalation if it makes you feel safer then it's up to you - and there are certain...

if this continues you should probably leave him - being alone might be bad, but if the guy is being abusive you need to get out of there. it might give him the newsflash he needs to stop being shitty, or he might react badly, but you can't stay with him if he's being like this "he's sweet when...
