  • I want to know what unprofitable businesses are still more profitable than WinRAR.

  • Looks like it's getting close to the Streisand kiss of death.

  • Teapot

    Jump
  • Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

  • Can't speak to the headphones, but they eventually moved to the head lice-free option of one of those directional dome speakers overhead.

  • I mean, we had these in the 90s.

  • I think it's different if you consider ads as a way to maintain the status quo.

    Like, there's an ad I keep seeing on TV where 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago plays as parents struggle to keep up with the parenting responsibilities of their toddlers. It's an ad for Amazon. And thank god for Amazon for being available to help these parents.

    And like...everybody knows about Amazon. Nobody is going to suddenly sign up for a Prime account after seeing this ad. However, parents or expecting parents who already have Prime accounts are going to relate to the people in the ad and not even consider other options for their parenting needs.

    Maybe a very specific example, and their are certainly ads just telling you to buy chicken nuggets, but I'm seeing it more and more.

    Edit: Or hell, look at detergents. Do you really think Tide has innovated anything in the past 30 years?

  • Suuuubtle. Love it.

  • Not a great comparison.

    Eight soldiers were just standing there when around 300 Bostonians surrounded them and started throwing shit at them. We would be lucky if ICE could show the level of restraint the British officers showed.

  • If a block of lead were a light year thick, it would have a 50% chance if blocking a neutrino.

    (Something I’ve heard. Can’t look it up now)

  • Also that’s not that impressive. 30 million devices is roughly one per second year round. Phone manufacturers make many times that in a year.

  • Um, I think you mean that the car crashed into the airport. The person was simply riding in the car.

  • Gemini evolved into a seal.

  • If they pull a gun off of you and you continue to be non-compliant it is not unreasonable for them to assume you could have another weapon

    Why is that not unreasonable? I mean, by that logic why bother with step one? Why not just assume anyone who is resisting has a weapon and murder them?

  • People live on farms?

  • When my mom got fiber internet, they had to dig a trench through everyone’s front yard in the neighborhood. They managed to destroy one of her Christmas yard decorations.

    When I got fiber internet, a dude in a truck ran it from a pole across the street in like two hours.

  • My first thought when I saw this.
