[Flipside] The male protagonist's situation is troublesome

Many people write stories or play games to transform into the main character, someone that they wish they were.

Being chased after by a bunch of pretty girls.

And they (the male protagonist) always think it is troublesome.

Well, what if we apply reality check.

The typical real woman is not pretty.

The typical highschool girl may or may not be pretty, depending on which group you hang out with.

So what if you are being chased around by a bunch of ugly ones? This is more likely to happen.

Troublesome indeed.

[Flipside Week] The internet as a source of truth

Did you enjoy the week of alternative opinions? Some of them are logical fallacies, many are incomplete truth such that if you know the entire picture, the current practices will be explained. It is all troll logic, so don't message me about your intellectual superiority.

[Flipside Week] Strong national currency is bad? Yea rite.

A strong currency is said to hurt the nation's competitiveness. The reason given is that the exports are now more expensive to other countries.

So there will be less demand for the nation's exports. So less jobs for the people.

Is that a bad thing?

[Flipside Week] Are you really being smart?

People in some jobs, some majors, we consider them smart.

But, are they really being smart?

[Flipside Week] Another view of what the Earth thinks about us

[Flipside Week] School exams grades are not useless for measuring the capabilities of employees

[Flipside Week] Being retrenched is good

Welcome to Flipside Week!

Flipside week is another of my themed weeks. This time, I will be looking at things from a different angle and giving interpretations that are opposite of the norm, yet still makes logical sense. This begs the question - by how much have our beliefs been shaped by the common view of others, instead of logic.

So here is the first one -
