no proof, but it can be attributed to a kind of addiction and dopamine association.

it is not that you start hating the average food, but your mind misses that dopamine hit the good food carries. think of it like a withdrawal like effect where your body is now conditioned and has a “higher bar” for things.

the music goes back again to be later re streamed to other people that might need it

“if you dropped a coin (or other small object) and you can’t find it anymore, drop another coin and see where it goes.”

sub: top 12 hours, all: top 6 hours

this somewhat balances out feeds I missed on my subscribed list.

my very eager mother just served us nine

rip pizzas

portable swamp cooler. it leaked and makes your carpet a swamp and maybe cooler. also luggable.

roller-type kitchen knife sharpener. the finer edge sharpener actually dulls the knife more.

tile tracker. it was so big, I didn’t lose it. I also hate the concept because it works like insurance does.

no. but i try to forgive myself for not taking the opportunity. imo, it is a skill that forms through a lot of interactions. a form of rizz. and to me, it doesn’t come as natural.

yes. but to so as not cause miscommunication problems, maybe keep it to close people who are in the know of what you mean.

and it gets more fun if there’s an alert for an impending amber alert

this reminded me of that feature with lots of articles about its usefulness:

gut bisect

screenfetch?

@platform('engagement')
game.Release().then(ninjaNFTandMTXDLC);

are you feeling it Mr. Crabs?

this reminded me of the clock girls story, “radium girls”, I think.

but since bioluminescence is powered differently, it’s a way better approach than artificial splashes of paint.

even in sourcery, the one that controls the domain has the biggest fuckery.

gentoo takes a long time. but currently they started shipping out binaries – and with a more recent architecture too (x86-64-p2 or - p4) which helps a lot as compared to building your own Libre office.

they got good guides as well. I got to use one for troubleshooting even if I use a diff distro.

whoever put that "reject all"s are mandatory should be getting praised.

it would suck to individually reject those 797 “partners”.

Thank you very much! These answers are very insightful.

I think these points brought the point home on why some of their decisions seem absurd for me:

ads are common in mobile games and mobile games are trying to sell to people already playing mobile games

Once they’ve peaked, they’ve “served their purpose” in the companies eyes.

On top of that, by the time the game comes out, people likely won’t remember the ad, and they very likely won’t remember it was a bait.

mobile player pool is gargantuan

the market research aspect makes sense. but why go the roundabout way of surveying? isn’t it counterproductive to lose users this way?

yes. kinda sucks.

I believe there was a couple of attempts that tried to complain but got dismissed because the defense mentioned the complainant didn’t read the TOS.
