Sexist Ads Are Good in Australia

Apparently sexist ads are welcome in Australia. Infact, there’s even an award called the Golden Ernie which celebrates the most sexist ads each year. This year’s top honor went to Tooheys beer for an ad showing rugby union supporters at a match holding a sign that said, “Boys, if you win, you can have our sisters” with an arrow pointing the the supporter’s actual sisters next to them. The awards ceremony is well attended and the winners are chosen with audience participation in a “boo-off.” Who knew.

Psychology says people who constantly try to become better versions of themselves aren’t actually growing — they’re running from a core belief that who they are right now isn’t enough, and that anxiety prevents the very self-acceptance that real growth requires

Research suggests that people who handwrite lists and people who use phone apps process their entire day differently. The paper list writers tend to plan from internal cues while the app users increasingly rely on external prompts, and over decades that difference quietly reshapes how autonomous a person feels inside their own life.

Psychology says people who instinctively push their chair in when they leave a table aren’t just being polite – they grew up in households where someone always had to clean up after everyone else, and they never forgot what it felt like to be that person
