I just did a quick check on Cracked to see how many articles have undergone that post-publishing clickbaitification of their headlines
Sure enough it is pretty much all of them
'18 Terrifying Things Hidden in Fine Print You've Agreed To' became '18 Horrifying Things Hidden in the Fine Print'
'6 R-Rated Early Versions of Classic Disney Movies' became '6 Creepy Details That Were Almost in Classic Disney Movies'
'5 Fantasy Beasts That Wouldn't Work According to Science' became '5 Iconic Fantasy Characters Whose Bodies Wouldn't Work'
The new ones are all undeniably better clickbait titles, but it's actually kind of bizarre that they don't just clickbait-check their headlines before publishing, because it seems like if they're doing it for every article that goes up, someone in the process would eventually go "hey maybe we should give these headlines a once-over before we put them on the website"
Learners permit obtained and applied to switch over from unemployment to student allowance. All set except for the dreaded purchasing of textbooks now.
The 10-member group led by Jørn Rattsø, a professor of economics at The Norwegian University of Science & Technology (NTNU), handed over its first report to the government after being commissioned by Jensen last year to find ways of reversing a sharp decline in productivity in recent years. The report is sure to spark protests from, for example, the Center Party and others who advocate major public sector investments far from population centers.
The group has documented how Norwegian politicians all too often have approved major investment projects that benefit far too few people, are poorly managed and plagued by huge budget overruns. Costs in general are way out of line in Norway, according to the group, while schools are mediocre, university students take too much time to earn degrees and mainland businesses outside the oil sector lack enough prestige to help Norway diversify its oil-based economy. The group mostly blamed the decline in productivity, though, on systemic inefficiencies and too much emphasis on local interests at the expense of the nation.
“A lot of special interest groups will fight against many of the measures we propose (to counter the inefficiency),” Rattsø told newspaper Aftenposten. “So a lot of this will demand an appropriate dose of political brutality. The gain will be a more efficient economy in the future.”

...the fuck?
when you have a political culture that takes the need for public sector investment as obvious, all that's left to argue over is the disposition of said investment

- De er mange. En rekke interessegrupper knyttet til profesjoner, geografi og næringsliv vil kjempe mot mange av tiltakene vi foreslår. Så mye av dette krever en passe dose politisk brutalitet. Gevinsten er en mer effektiv økonomi i fremtiden, sier han.
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
Tonight I went to the grocery store to buy some sugarfree mints, because they help sate my desire to ruin my diet with snacks. And there were two homeless folks outside looking super ragged, so I asked them if they wanted some food, and dude said that yeah they were hungry. So I got my mints and then got juices, sandwiches, some chocolate, and a big loaf of bread and brought it out to them. I just kinda felt grateful that I could actually choose to do something like that, because for so long I couldn't have even afforded to do so.
Anyway I loath people that do charity and then want to tell everyone all about how great they are, but I'm cheating a little and still telling [chat]

This is when Variable is eaten by the cat and the cat takes over his PA account.
It is my duty to inform you that you have been assessed as not being an uggo, but that you in fact suffer from RBBF or Resting Basic Bitch Face.

The cat's name is Church.
