    The rog ally probably won't sell a million units. The switch will sell 100 million. The switch is the mobile market, like it or not.

    Online ads use an instant auction to sell space. They literally are "whomever will pay the most", so no, not false. https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6366577?hl=en Each …

    As someone who was a professional baker for years, agree. Baking very much has intuition and art like qualities. It's just less forgiving of loose measurements until you know what …

    They are both art and both science.

    What's in the box is unknown to most people. Unknowable, even. They are surprisingly complex mixes.

    I don't know that it's helplessness, I think it's genuinely difficult to notice when a product shrinks in size by an ounce or two and when a chemical composition changes. You proba…

    The thing to remember is that no one cares about hypocrisy. The people in power least of all. It's a classic authoritarian move to condemn something they engage in, because the aut…

    Idiotic seems strong. It's an art piece, is it simply not to your taste in art?

    I'm not sure the constitution matters that much to the party in charge at the moment.

    What makes it not a social media website? Social media is a function of what it does, and it's a place people comment, converse, share links, there's a user scoring system, there's…

    You are literally topping that comment on a peer to peer social media website right now. It's hardly dead, it just happens away from meta and X. Discord is absolutely popping off, …

    Anyone who wants, in your case, is "whomever pays me the most", which is a far, far cry from "anyone who wants". You can tell yourself this is the free exchange of ideas all you wa…

    Sigh. Try again. The thread is about how an "At last I got mine" attitude towards making money from government propaganda ad revenue is a shit attitude. You are the one who is out …

    If you are going to build strawmen to cut down over and over, there's clearly no intellectually fertile soil here. You seem to be enjoying operating both sides of some imagined con…

    You can argue that, but you'd be wrong. Don't confuse mercantilism and trade with capitalism. They are outwardly similar, but very different internally. The fundamental feature of …

    No, you are being thick. The governments are issuing the propaganda. Read the post again.

    If you hold it up to light to get a reflection, you are telling me there's zero perceptual warping of that reflection around the crease? None? It's as flat and perfect as a single …

    They have a nightmare of a crease. Every single one. Even slight warping causes me to recoil. No, I've used one, they are absolutely unusable for me.

    We have had capitalism since the late 1700s, or early 1800s. But I think you and I would agree it's not been a uniform experience across that time. Capitalism evolves and adopts ne…

    Oooooof. Yeah, we should definitely let governments pipe their propaganda directly into every surface in our lives constantly. Surely that's something that's healthy and good for a…

    What a deeply cynical and selfish point of view.

    I could absolutely argue capitalism is a contributing factor, primarily due to alienation and increased demands on labor. Income inequality pushing families to have less spare capa…

    It's hard, but I think you are projecting your own experience here a bit. Many players are able to track these things and come up with strategies to minimize the impacts of the add…
