This happened at my work with internal docs as we switched from an ancient intranet to a new service that had a ton more features but no backwards compatibility so all the pages got updated to PDFs with helpful links that went nowhere and it caused chaos for like 3 months.

It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out.

And Trump just copied the slogan from Reagan anyway.

What a refreshing meme use. Makes me want a beer actually.

It’s important to realize that this isn’t a game, it’s 20 seconds of animation that looks like a game. There would be a lot more work designing levels or an algorithm to send enemies etc.

The actual game is designed to be as addictive as possible so you become a whale spending money on it. The advertising is designed to get you to download the game. Two different jobs.

Also, easier A/B testing and targeting if you can just advertise different games to different people but funnel them all to the same end game.

If the math worked out that people who saw the real game downloaded it and ended up paying more money, they would advertise the real game. Guess the math doesn’t work.

Daily unless I don’t have any clean in which case…until I do a load of laundry.

Congrats on your sobriety.

If you cook with your own blood, no animal was exploited because you freely consented.

Ironically one of the only ways forward for them is to open up immigration to more people. GDP is going to be permanently lower unless they go heavy automation like Japan (requiring a lot of capital that is going to be a lot more expensive post-Brexit), or let a lot more people in.

Actually only half of all people saw the obvious downsides. The other half said “nuh uh it’ll be great, way better in fact” with no evidence or facts and folks went with that.

And human blood can be vegan!

Yeah take the long view and realize 100 years ago TB would be a major cause of death, prohibition would be in full force and the Mob would be powerful, we’d be 5 years post-WWI, 6 years from the Great Depression, and 16 years from WWII.

He has been in office for 2 weeks I can’t imagine this is a result of his policies yet.

The Good Place is one of the best shows ever but in the end they basically just re-invent mortality. In the real world you die and we don’t know what happens, in the fiction at the end of the show you die and then spend some time aligning yourself to the standard the main characters set, and when you eventually align with their morals for long enough you either stick around and atrophy until you’re a forgetful idiot or you…die, and we don’t know what happens.

The viewers of the show see bits of Eleanor falling to Earth and inspiring people but the characters do not know what happens.

If you want to get deeper, Michael the demon is granted mortality which means it can be done, it is shown as a special exception but over the course of infinite time either all demons will earn special exceptions and humans will eventually die and be unable to progress through the afterlife because there are no demons left to guide them through, or that doesn’t happen in which case humanity will die out first and the demons will be left with nothing to do for eternity because all humans will eventually work through the system and disappear.

It’s an incredibly popular podcast. There’s every possibility the connotations are wrong about this specific individual. I wouldn’t try to dig too deep into it.

Sending: Loud.

Receiving: Smelly.

Lmao bot doing bot stuff, not cut out for this particular situation.

He has been flying around Russia quite a bit since the coup, clearly he thought he was safe.

What is the percentage of the Western world that believes in profit motive and private ownership of property, 90%? I don’t think it’s BECAUSE they are religious conservatives.

I don’t think religions are inherently socialistic. There’s a socialist reading of the text, but in terms of like the historical role of the Catholic church it was more like a government than a commune. Governments aren’t inherently socialistic (unless you’re using a pretty broad view of the word). They help the poor and set rules to follow but they’re only directly managing their portion (10%-30%) of the economy, the rest can be anything.

Wild. They both “might” help. They both cost the company money. They should both be correct.
