I live in a neighborhood full of families and the number that actually use their yards for anything other than mowing is minimal. As for my own kids they seemed to have much more fun in the nearby woods than the yards.

Hmm now I'm thinking if it doesn't exist maybe that could be a startup, "Foreign exchange family".

It seems like as soon as it confirms their bias they are willing to ignore if something is real or not.

You say that "People are not that stupid" but have you looked at all the obvious fake/false information being passed around on facebook. I think that shows that people really are that stupid.

I'm not certain if you are talking specific to coronavirus, but it is not unheard of with viruses. For example, chickenpox/shingles or herpes.

I wonder if this is limited to improvisational theater or if something like a roleplaying game, where the person has to act out a role with no script, can help as well. I would think that they get to perform the same sort of social interactions and while still being "low cost".

Some people really do just want to be drones and are perfectly happy going in and doing a simple mundane task over and over.

If anything, this last election should have exposed this. There is a whole cohort of people out there that feel they've been slighted and left behind because of the shift in manufacturing. They feel like they should still be able to go in and be a drone and get paid well enough to raise a family.

I wonder if you wouldn't be justified in following up their question with your own of "Why should I choose to work for you?". Seems only fair that they should try and sell you on being part of their team as well.

You don't even need a paper score card. The Munchkin card game suggests using pennies to keep track of your hp. You could just suggest that, everyone should have something they can use as "counters" and you don't need to sink the costs into a score pad.

Let me preface this with saying that I only read the about and the faq of the page.

I don't see this really as a personal use application.

That said I think it has potential in the business sector. Getting feedback from people that you work with and for is very valuable for your career. How often do you really want to provide candid feedback to your manager? But how much would that candid feedback help a manager that is learning and trying to get better and advance? The same would happen in teams as well.

I think this would work well for a business to provide that positive feedback loop to help their employees target their weaknesses and improve their career chances.

I've got to +1 Hyperbole and a Half, very funny.
