This is why Target self check out is the best. They have confidence in their theft deterrence so their machine has a lot of leeway and yells at me less for weight issues.

In marketing their is a distinction between direct response ads (get people to take action) vs brand ads (force people to just watch, no immediate action needed). Unskippable ads are almost always brand ads focusing on total view time.

I strongly suspect chatgpt has decreased the suicide rate overall. When my wife has been in her worst places, chatgpt said only valuable things. Id say its better at dealing with a suicidal person than most real people would be. Especially

It doesnt work in faang either, which is why they are wildly slow to produce software. They can just print money when running at 10% efficiency.

My mom used to say I made her seasick since I would fidget and sway so much when bored in church. I'd also pretend to go to the bathroom just to leave the service to walk around. Memories unlocked!
