Looks like OP just added the title.

I can’t make out what’s in her hand. A watch? The medals left by her dead father? The tiny suspenders of her child who died at a young age?

Yes! It’s a dark pattern microagression.

Hmmm… maybe something involving “false dichotomy”, “Sysyphus”, “pestering”, “options”, “forced politeness”, …

Every time I go to the ATM to get cash it shows me an ad for a service and the options are “Yes” and “No thanks.”

I am forced to choose one. I am forced to thank them for showing me an ad before they give me my own money.

the data vultures love this sort of “non-confrontational on surface, but bossy upon analysis” discourse.

We need a simple name for this, like we have for enshittification or shrinkflation.

OpenAI scraped the Internet, legally and illegally to power ChatGPT.

Wired articles are generally about interesting topics but take a sensationalist click-bait approach. I usually just skim the headline and look up the info somewhere more reputable if it sounds important.

For example, here’s some info from the USDA:

Plastic storage containers such as margarine tubs, take-out containers, whipped topping bowls, and other one-time use containers should not be used in microwave ovens. These containers can warp or melt, possibly causing harmful chemicals to migrate into the food.
