Randaconda posted:https://getpocket.com/explore/item/why-rich-kids-are-so-good-at-the-marshmallow-test Oh, hey, my thesis/diss topic. Authors conveniently ignored a ton of delay discounting research from the last few decades and didn't bother to look into the mechanisms behind the correlation with affluence. What they present as a "holy poo poo" finding has been known for a long time - kids in impoverished environments struggle to learn willpower skills because in an impoverished environment the second marshmallow isn't guaranteed like it is in an affluent one. There's SO MUCH WEIRDER stuff in this area, like bikinis making men more impulsive, or looking at how holding a small crocodile changes how tourists gamble.

The crocodile thing might also translate to impulse buys. This means the future of American shopping malls is being handed a live croc upon entering.

Spirited Away is a way better movie and I would pay very good money to see it on the big screen again. I *might* watch Toy Story 4 if it were on Netflix and I was babysitting my niece.

I was just in China and I was pissed that Spirited Away was playing only after I returned. We saw the new X-Men instead. It blew.
