he always unveils something when he has an ulterior motive

This entire comment thread is weird, so you more or less agree with me, and agree that it’s something they have, but are upset because she’s doing it for clicks. We’re arguing semantics of the implementation, when the main jist is correct, they’re selling client data and many users probably are unaware, which then the problem is that the users probably should be bluntly aware of it. Which leads me to why is she doing it for clicks? I think a bigger question is if this was a man who was trying to raise awareness, would the assumption have been the same, that they were doing it for clicks, or awareness? I don’t know man, I’m getting some weird vibes from this thread.

You called out her appearance, called her a chick, then assumed she was doing it for likes. You attacked her argument only by saying she doesn’t understand what’s happening. Those are three big assumptions that I really wonder if you’d had made about a male creator.

Feel like the whole parent thing here you’re giving is also naive, as it’s assuming a decent relationship with the parents.

Agree, gaming companies who have been playing it safe are the ones who have no idea what to do anymore. Ubisoft is more or less dead. Bioware is dead after DA4. By trying to play it safe and reach everyone they have reached no one.

Two studios that do take massive risks? CDPR and Rockstar. If you put generic gaming exec in there they would cancel all projects and fire half the staff right now, and wall street would laud them for it. Problem is that gaming is a creative field, and you can’t be purely logical and money driven when working in a creative field. Art is subjective, you will have people who dislike it. These two studios get that, for the time being at least.

No man, you’re the illiterate one here. The phone is irrelevant. I worked in the ad industry, this profile shit is real. Phones metadata simply means a device ID so they can knowingly tie you to what the other massive personality graphs have on you rather than guessing. They don’t need your browsing history, they already have it. If not from a device then through the apps, if not the apps then the sites themselves.

These companies already have a profile on all of us built. This is simply another company offering their data so huge data aggregators can directly connect it with everything else you do. Not only browsing, but gaming, social media, when you use your computer, travel sites, they even have presence detection in stores to track if their ad worked. This is already the reality we live in.

So what much needed public infrastructure project is he trying to torpedo now? Amtrak is doing well. People are biking more. Better try to distract some people with this moronic thing.

Means that’s a you problem then, not the artist’s problem.

I’ve heard this has been happening more and more. Clips like this do well on TikTok, and Gen Z eats it up. The influencers (“reporter” in this clip) do something “outrageous” to get a reaction out of the celebrity and then call it “news”, and then put it on TikTok. Either it’s cringe and it does well, or it gets a reaction out of the celebrity and it does well.

It’s win win. All you have to do is have no shame yourself, and be willing to put another human on the spot thinking about how their entire career trajectory could be lost because they reacted poorly to some moron who wanted a few likes on the internet.

I really fucking hate “influencers”.

Yeah I just watched the episodes today where Marshall is having a crisis of character working for GNB and she gives him the go-ahead (or even the push) to quit his job to pursue his dream, and literally the next episode she is mad at him for doing exactly what she told him to do, and puts Ted on the spot again as she plans to just up and leave for a trip without talking to her husband. Her character wants to be supportive, but wants more to live her lifestyle

Putting aside that windows will simply forget updates when it decides to, users should not have to beg their own pc to not do something they didn’t choose to do.

God it makes me sad how propaganda has convinced people that EVs aren’t good for long distance. I’ve done many toad trips with mine no problem, and if for some reason felt one trip would be too long I’d just rent one. A full “tank” of electricity is $6 total for me, and I just saw one gallon of gas here is about $5.50. Haven’t thought about gas prices in years now.

We used to call this just playing the game.

Bad game? Layoffs. Good game? Surprisingly, still layoffs.

I think sitcoms are an art form, people compare them to high price dramas and they aren’t. Sitcoms are your “friends” after a long day if work that you can count on to be reliable and low pressure. You watch them not for a good story necessarily, but to unwind after a day. Sadly I think that’s been lost over the last few years.

Bikeshedding - where people feel the need to give feedback even when none is needed, resulting in inane comments about things that don’t matter.

Pro tip, if you’re a software engineer, especially working on UIs - leave something annoying on your UI in the demo. Something small enough to not be a huge deal but big enough so that an exec or director would notice it. Make a button slightly too big, or the width of a divider too large. They’ll call that out, feel like they contributed, and likely the entire demo will be spent talking about the inane thing on the page. Then go fix the 2-ish lines of code and move on with your day.

Lily especially in this watchthrough I’m noticing how much she does manipulate him. Season 2 leaving of course just destroys him, and then she comes back and just expects to be taken back like it’s nothing. Then expects the wedding and everything right after, wanting everything to move on like she didn’t just destroy all trust with him. The really sad thing is she left to see if she could be a painter while he never prevented her from doing that while being together, as Ted said there are so many ones in NYC why SF? She wanted to go off and be single, and he took her back way too easily.

Then getting mad that he talks to his parents, or that he dreamed of maybe living somewhere else, or the credit card debt, or then being mad that he became a corporate lawyer to pay off her credit card debt. I feel bad for the guy

Yp, started doing that and it worked in mine. You’ll need to do some trial and error to get the right amount, but TC is right.

I swapped $40 pods that gave me 80 loads for $8 powder that lasts hundreds

Yeah I doubt everyone looked. Starbucks hasn’t been coffee only for a long long long time. Most of their drinks have very little coffee in them. I saw somewhere that gen z now views coffee as more of a flavor than a standalone drink, at least a very good sized chunk of it, using things like instant coffee to brew a small amount to add whatever else they are making. I doubt anyone at all cared.

How I Met Your Mother. There’s a ton of hate, and it’s well deserved. Ted is annoying, Lily’s selfish, and Barney could never be a character on national TV now. It tapers off around season 5-6 and then fails in season 9.

However, it had a profound effect on me. I grew up in rural nowhere, Midwest USA, in a town with 2 bars and a gas station. Watching the group go out in the city going to bars and growing up there made me really connect, and made me feel a bit less isolated. I finally did move out and to a different city, and HIMYM did give me the hope to someday be like that, and now I am. I still re-watch every few years. It definitely hasn’t aged well, but it’s nostalgic for me.

And while it was an investment to do, they essentially just zeroed one of their largest bills. Why isn’t everyone with a large parking lot doing this again?
