Have you conducted a study, or did you just mean to type "I am not motivated by snark." Personally, I find a complete lack of snark to be alienating. I'm not motivated by pure positivity, just creeped out.

AOC doesn't have a job to be fired from, she has a position that she was elected to. And a public plea for a company to take a certain course of action is different than a direct request. The latter carries much more "or else&quot

Somehow every anti-vape campaign I've seen that tries that argument only makes vaping look more desirable. "Flavors so good that kids don't find them gross" is a pretty decent draw.

Digging for a specific memory, I realized I might just be angry that my favorite childhood game made me click past a PSA about vandalism between the production logo and start screen.

I'm a little surprised you didn't mention the production cards that pop up when you start a game. Those are the worst offender; especially the ones that are unskippable or require a separate button press to skip each of the multip

Exactly how profitable does a market need to be to require showing margins to the customer? Where are you drawing the threshold?

Yeah, there's a fine argument to be had about passive media consumption, but it does not hinge on any specific medium. An engaged mind can actively consume any piece of media.

To me it read more like they were just acknowledging that a result that fit too neatly into their modern view of the world could be shaped by their own unconscious bias. In general, I think it's safe to assume that social scientists sp

Now you're just getting hung up on semantics, when the posters actual intended meaning was clear to several others here. If you want to go down that road, however, grant dollars are already allocated and could thus be considered alread

Paper menus on request seems like the obvious middle ground. Not defaulting to putting menus out reduces the scale of all those problems, while also not alienating customers who for whatever reason don't want to or cannot use the digit

It does, because this is ultimately a discussion about allowing municipalities to operate their own broadband. The questions of whether the state and federal governments should be handing out grants to build out these issues would be separa

I dated a girl with poor eyesight, and absent a digital version her method was the phone flashlight and holding the menu very close to her face. So the physical version was workable, but a pinch to zoom is still more dignified.

I don't think so, those banners are pure virtue signal. An attempt to look good to the market they've determined is the most profitable to align with. If they were actually trying to change minds, they have so many better tools th

True, if it were a ps2 title the level would start out like that, and then suddenly open up to show off how much better they can do outdoor environments now.

Except for the pixely UI elements, upscaled Ridge Racer could pass for a launch PS2 title.

Weirdly, I think sharpness is exactly where PS1 games don't hold up. Metal Gear Solid is less off-putting to go back to than Metal Gear Solid 2. The pixely textures and dim lighting give it some atmosphere, where the extra detail in MG
