  • How effective are ads?

    Jump

  • Ads are extremely effective in aggregate though it's difficult to impossible to assign value to any individual ad. Targeted ads are popular because they are more directly attributable to purchases, but it's also likely that other ads led you towards that decision as well.

  • They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you?

    Jump

  • It flopped hard for me too. The gameplay was clunky, especially on console. It also felt like you needed meta knowledge depending on the character you picked in order to build a functional party, the game gave you choices, but didn't tell you enough about them to make correct choices.

  • That's like saying most wars didn't involve guns. It's not super relevant if they didn't exist at the time.

  • The global supply chain has pretty much always been violence. The US Navy projects force globally, and US military bases are the cherry on top.

  • That instead of fighting with nukes, the US and USSR uses proxy countries to fight each other.

  • NFL won't reconsider Bad Bunny SB halftime show

    Jump

  • 2012 was Madonna, and the years before that were pretty much all Boomer era.

  • Jerry keeping Trump out of the NFL may have been his last good decision.

    Jump

  • It's a combination of not speaking English and not being Boomer era talent.

  • Democratic senator’s anti-Trump floor speech ends after nearly 23 hours

    Jump

  • Go full LBJ and just whip it out mid speech in full view. I doubt cspan would be quick to censor.

  • GoG doesn't have a lot of new games for one. It's still copyright violation to distribute the game to others as well. It's generally easier to just buy the game from GoG than find a link to download the game. You could get the files from a friend and that could work for a few games, but paying gets more convenient if your library is bigger than your hard drive.

  • The Kremlin Wants Elon Musk to Build a Tunnel From Russia to the U.S.

    Jump

  • Honestly a tunnel to northern Alaska would be an amazing trap for invading armies. There's just miles of rugged mountains before you even find a road. Then you get to deal with Canada....

  • There should be a name for this

    Jump

  • American magic.

  • Is there a historical event, person or time period you'd like to see made into a series?

    Jump

  • A WWI era show focused on the inbred nobility that decided to have a war to settle personal differences.

  • What completed, not cancelled, TV series or limited series do you think there could or should have been more seasons of?

    Jump

  • The Practice should have been longer. While Boston Legal was a fun spinoff, the hard hitting legal drama should have kept going as well.

  • The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe

    Jump

  • There's levels to it. True quality isn't worth it, absolute garbage costs a lot though. Some level that mostly works is the sweet spot.

  • The illegal orders thing is a catch 22. It's taught to everyone, but it's also taught there aren't illegal orders.

  • do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?

    Jump

  • There's nothing quite like today. There's things that are similar, but social media has really made things worse.

    Populism is rising because things haven't been great for a lot of people for a long time, and it's too hard to ignore anymore. Globalism and free trade were massively oversold to the masses, it hurt wide swaths of people that have been ignored for decades. People that feel disenfranchised will vote for change regardless of the change proposed.

    Social media has escalated everything as well. The echo chambers are enormous and essentially impossible to avoid. Many traditional institutions are also extremely weak now that would have forced more interaction between people with differing views and limited extremism. Social media also does a great job in conflating the size of various groups and beliefs, a few dozen people can make a community seem as large and impactful as a few thousand .

  • Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?

    Jump

  • Healthy is relative. A handful of fruit is generally fine. Eating a few pounds of grapes in a day is probably a bad choice. There's also a lot of people that conflate fruit with things that have fruit in them as about the same.
