Reply to TIFU Choosing an empty car on a crowded subway by visit_magrathea

I’ve learned that people respond a lot better to explanations than to instructions. If they had been given a reason to avoid that empty car “this car stinks!” or “drunk dude shat his pants in there” they may have listened better than being told what to do “don’t go in there” or “you don’t want this”.

Giving the reason nips 2 things in the bud straight away: makes it not an instruction, and removes the curiousity.

Tangential to this, more parents should learn to start providing reasonings/explanations behind their directives.

Reply to comment by FriscoKid96 in TIFU by buying too much crypto by Colinian18

>when the government adopts crypto technology in fiat currency systems

This is the worst possible outcome for crypto bros, seeing as the second government adopts it with actual protections like the one they have on banks that go broke, or the stock market, the crypto market will crash faster than wile e coyote off a cliff. Which is pretty fast considering how volatile it already is.

>Understanding things before passing judgement

We can do both.

I quote "my guy", you wrote a book, I couldn't make it, but I laughed all the way through for as far as I made it.

Hate to ask, could you post some more cliff notes for lazy peeps like myself 😅
