4 days agoPsychology says people who get irrationally angry at small inconveniences - the slow driver, the loud chewer, the coworker who replies all - aren't actually angry about the inconvenience at all, they're carrying a much larger weight that they have no safe outlet for, and the small thing that breaks them is never the real thing, it's just the only thing in their day they're allowed to be visibly upset about without anyone asking a follow-up question - Silicon Canals

1 month agoVery dangerous': a Mind mental health expert on Google's AI Overviews
Over three decades, Google designed and delivered a search engine where credible and accessible health content could rise to the top of the results. Searching online for information wasn't perfect, but it usually worked well. Users had a good chance of clicking through to a credible health website that answered their query.
