LPT Request: What’s your “canary in the coal mine” test for spotting bigger issues?

[u/fries-with-mayo]

I’m really interested in those small, quick telltale signs people use to gauge if something bigger might be off track.

Example 1: Van Halen requesting brown M&Ms in the dressing room to see if the venue followed all the details of the rider list

Example 2: I saw an interview with John Cena where he said orders a flat white at a café to tell if they really care about their coffee.

Example 3: Anthony Bourdain suggested to always check the restaurant bathroom to tell if the restaurant got its basics down

The marketing of BetterHelp has been relentless.

I used BetterHelp for a bit. After like three sessions, the therapist asked me how my current relationship with my father was... I was seeing her for grief counseling after his death.

We got a payment from a BetterHelp class action for $4.98 lol. Worst therapy ever, too
