  Next time you see bed bugs, go ahead and sleep in the bed, that way you have something to complain about.

    You can even get allergic reactions from such a bite. Is that really what you want to try find out?

  “Don’t worry about those bedbugs you see on your bed and pillows, it’s not like they’ve bitten you”

  Title says nothing about having bedbugs

    Tbf, reading the headline I also assumed the author accidentally took them home. I’m pretty sure this ambiguity is on purpose, and should be frowned upon.

      Shouldn’t making assumptions about an article before reading it be frowned upon too?

        You do have a point there. Media literacy should get a better focus during education.

        However I don’t think its a fair comparison. The general public cannot currently be expected to have good media literacy, as long as there is no proper public education. I’m not aware of any public schools properly teaching media literacy during the general education (I mean before college), so a good chunk of the population, if not the majority, will never even stop to consider things like what kinda assumptions they made about an article.

        It is something you can expect from someone who studied journalism though.

        So if the goal of the journalist was good journalism, they should plan ahead and use clear language without any room for assumptions. If they use headlines like this it just seems like clickbait to me.

      You use the word “AI” the same way the right uses “woke”.

      See quotes… that means someone saying something. Than a reason afterwards. I don’t think ai is that smart.

  How does that matter? He still had to change plans. Couldn’t sleep in a room. Had expenses.

  Nice try, bedbug.
