Our town's event calendar algorithm kept missing senior centers... I found out why.
Was helping my mom find activities and saw none for her area... the algorithm uses zip codes but skips older neighborhoods. Now I know to check manually.

Makes sense they'd cut corners there. Probably just lazy data entry, not some big conspiracy.

Yeah I always call the senior center directly now, they keep their own paper calendar that's way more accurate.

Yikes, that's such a classic tech blind spot. I'd probably miss it too, my brain works like a bad algorithm sometimes. I still can't get my phone to stop correcting "okay" to "Olaf.
