i checked my stats.fm top 2023 artists vs wrapped, and i’m seeing the same inaccuracies that you mention. my wrapped artists were:

• Artist A
• Artist B
• Artist C
• Artist D
• Artist E (not on top 5 on stats.fm)

while on stats.fm, it shows:

• Artist A
• Artist D
• Artist B
• Artist F (not on top 5 for wrapped)
• Artist C
• Artist E

i think that spotify is definitely strategic with placing certain artists in certain positions. for example, “Artist F” probably was in top 5 last year as well (and is a successful but less-well-known artist), but went unlisted on wrapped this year and was replaced by Artist C, a global top 200 artist. and it worked - i had not listened to Artist C in a while, and when i saw my wrapped results, i started listening to them again.

would the suggestion be to have the post title in the URL?

i would consider it a well-known fact that there is a link between cohabitation before marriage and higher rate of divorce.

granted, divorce rates are rising anyway. but to be totally honest, if OP considers this boomer talk, it just speaks to lack of insight and life experience (which you will get when you move in with someone, to be fair). also, looking for an exact number to reach some kind of threshold just seems like a cry for validation. you certainly don’t need to gain approval from people on the internet to make a decision (myself included). you won’t need to know a number when you’re ready, because you’ll know the time is right.

regardless of what i said, i hope you find further research on the matter (try using pubmed or national institute of mental health resources) and i hope you find happiness if you’re taking that next step in life.

damn that’s impressive

i believe that you’re thinking of confirmation bias, which is more like holding a belief despite being challenged with logical evidence.

cognitive dissonance is more like holding two ideas simultaneously which seem to conflict with one another. the cognitive load (how much you have to think about something) is high because you are trying to square these two competing thoughts/ideas.

a quick and simple example of cognitive dissonance is knowing that smoking is bad for your health, but continuing to do so, using the excuse that you have high stress and the nicotine mitigates that stress.

just to contrast, confirmation bias in the same example would be someone telling you that smoking is bad for you (citing legitimate evidence), but you continue to believe that it’s fine to smoke because you like to smoke.

hope this helps to distinguish the two
