The problem is the ones with all the data have no real use for it.
Google, Facebook, etc. tell you they have data, sell you the ad, run the ad on their own site, then tell you how well the ad did, but not in absolute terms. All in a black box. They don’t actually have to use their data, as they’re the ones grading their own work, they can just flaunt it to get buyers onboard.
The border with the ocean probably, humans love to live on the crust of the land
I don’t mind strategic combat (I play Civ, BG3 on harder difficulties) but I hate grinding combat and play those games on easy.
What that means is I don’t play walking simulators. If I’m railroaded into a story, the combat better be damn good or I’m refunding the game or at best uninstalling it. I’d rather pay $100 for something like the outer worlds with a really interactive and replayable story than $20 for something like greedfall where it’s just a tv show with spamming buttons every so often.
I mean I did the same when I was applying for grad jobs… if they used HireVue then I’d just send an email withdrawing my candidacy and explaining why.
It’s just that they took the fact that people would rather spend a couple of extra months unemployed while jobhunting than engaging with shitty processes and systems, and didn’t specify that it’s only temporary unemployment. That’s pretty standard for a headline, they’re all clickbait by design, but this one definitely stays on the reasonable side.
When I get ill, sometimes I sleep for 18h straight, through alarms and everything…
You sleep more when you’re ill anyway, but what wakes you up about outdoors is light. It’s much darker inside than out by a way more than you’d think, so that’s probably why you feel awake when outside.
I had to call the electricity company to resolve a fucking clusterfuck of their making the other day (long story short my electricity meter is faulty), and after 3-4 calls I got to someone who said “jesus christ” after I explained my situation and how they’d made it worse trying to resolve it…
She didn’t fix it, it’s still not fully fixed after a further 4 days including 29 hours without power, but gee did I feel like I was speaking to a fellow human who was trying to help in that conversation above all others I had with them
Yeah agreed that while you’re more than likely not gonna get sick from it unless you have an allergic reaction of some sort, it’s still probably dusty as those things are a nightmare to clean and so not a pleasant lick
I mean that situation describes almost any student in higher education, along with people in long term relationships who are yet to move in together - frankly those two cases more than likely make up the majority of people with two homes
If you’re a germaphobe then surely you should know that 100% salt is enough to yeet literally any microorganism to the back of beyond; in fact anything over 30% is
That lamp is more hygienic than your dinner plate, more than the inside of any food package and infinitely more than your hands even after you’ve just washed them
Ya think?
I’m lucky enough to be reasonably well off, and seeing the price of gas and electricity I’ve had to cut back elsewhere, take showers at work etc. to keep the same amount of savings, paying mortgage etc.
Imagining not having nearly as much to cut back on, no showers at work, can’t cycle to work and more isn’t hard, as it’s obviously just such a shit situation and yet those in power at Westminster seem completely oblivious to it
I’m only getting into semantics because you are - that statement is singular and definite, therefore it can only be taken to have one of two meanings:
A) a given straight man is selected at the start, and once he is voted out it ends.
B) it ends once the final straight man is voted out, as at that point he would be the straight man. This can never occur as he would win by being the only one remaining, so there would be no vote for him to vote himself out.
If they’re all straight without a single selection at the start, then there is not a definite straight man, and even if there is one selected at the start there’s only a 1/12 chance he gets voted out first.
What, genociding the Irish and banning any form of fun by claiming enjoyment is sinful?
Sounds like a perfect swap for slightly more availability of dentists /s
Bad bot
“saved 87%” my brother in christ you have not even mentioned the main story here, only the context for why the story is so bleak… Without it it looks uplifting…
Unironically though people asking questions, then further explanation, then posting when they figure it out is pretty optimal compared to above average documentation
No, but people need to send and receive next day 6 times a week
I hoped it’d be read as sarcasm
It’s not a serious hatred, but most major/Western European nations (at least Germany, UK, Spain, Italy and probably France themselves) have at least a friendly rivalry with the French despite being on friendly terms either since 1945 or even longer, with France having been fairly positive for Europe since at least the 80s, so it’s incredibly hard to justify that the “hatred” of them is rational
Although the Italians may have twisted it into a surprisingly valid case, just ask about how almost all famous French food is just Italian recipes with a French name and they will be incredibly convincing even if it may not be objective fact
Every European: “but my hatred of the French is prefectly rational, does that mean it’s not xenophobia?”
It’s not scrolling though - using the arrow keys on a keyboard or d-pad on a controller you’d use up to go up and down to go down when navigating documents, menus etc. As far as I’m aware unlike when you’re moving a viewport either by scrolling or in games there’s no debate when it comes to moving a caret.
And as you said, “having grown up in the tape era”. Just because it was logical for that application and so is logical to you doesn’t mean it’s still logical - people who grew up with record players could just as easily argue for two spinning knobs as you’re moving a potentiometer to increase/decrease the volume, and spinning the record forward/back; having grown up in the CD era I had both of them being up/down or left/right as the buttons were either beneath or either side of the slot/hatch most of the time, same with tv remotes having both as up/down, and given there was no standard then I don’t think either one “just makes sense”
Down is next because it’s a list of songs with the first song at the top and the last at the bottom.
Frankly it’s the orientation that makes the most sense when you consider it given most people will be listening from a streaming service, but back when CDs were a thing the songs weren’t considered a list but tracks numbered from 1 to n. The up button incremented the track number and so it made sense for up to be next.
Going even further to tapes, fast forward and rewind literally moved the tape left to right/right to left, and so it made sense for them to be right and left respectively, however now it makes less sense other than being what older people are used to
I work in advertising, I know, it’s just that in the industry it’s pretty well known that Google, Facebook etc. hugely overinflate their numbers as they arbitrarily decide that it definitely did have an effect on you to make their systems look better
