- Comment on YSK: "Exchange for Change" will be a bottle buy-back scheme in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland aiming for a October 2027 launch 1 week ago:
So if I understand this scheme right, a standard 6 pack of cans are going to cost £1.20 more and I am going to have to collect them and store them separately to the other 4 separated rubbish categories I already have.
Then lug them all to a collection point to get the deposit back instead of placing them in my recycling that I already pay the council to collect every (other) week anyway.
Great, just great, how convenient.
- Comment on UK study to examine effects of restricting social media for children 4 months ago:
Anyone who agrees to participate in the study probably already wants to be restricted, as they may feel social media negatively affects them, and want more help restricting it than their willpower alone. Then they will probably feel positive about the outcome.
Forcibly restricting unwilling kids will produce different outcomes that this study doesn’t seem to investigate (it would be unethical to force participation on kids who don’t want to participate in a study).
They will then try to generalise the positive outcome onto all kids, even though they didn’t study the unwilling ones.

Because that’s the alternative universe where people are competent and think things through for more than 2 seconds before they do things.
