Ad companies never got the message that negative association with an ad is worse than no ad at all. I mean I remember the 2 min. long distance plan ads that were immediately followed by another one back in the syfy channel’s infancy.  Yes I remember them.  But I remember them as an annoyance from a company whom I will…

I get why companies prefer to just do their own thing now, but E3's demise does make me a bit sad. 

Tell me again why CEOs make all the money when they couldn’t even intuitively know that pandemic spending wasn’t going to last? And they somehow saw that people having money and spending on their stupid shit was a bad thing and that pay should continue to remain low? These are the people who "deserve" everything in…

I own several Pops figures and brought everyone because they relate to some thing I love and which makes me happy. Never been one of those people who think they are going to retire off of my collection some day. I know good and well these things are just the new bennie babies.

This should be illegal. Creating that much waste and probably having to pay close to nothing to dump it, thereby passing the true cost onto everyone else who has to deal with plastics in our food, medicine, water, etc. If you can’t accurately forecast the demand for these trinkets, then you should have to firesale…

...throwing them out will be cheaper than trying to sell them.

Congrats. By placing banner ads that kick down the display every time you hit the next slide button, you’ve found a way to make slide shows even more annoying.  Didn’t think it was possible.

The app seems to do absolutely nothing to promote this. I had to so a search for video games in the search tool. 

Maybe if they told their customers about it?

The primary place my family watches Netflix is on a Roku device, not a game console. Hard to think about controlling games on one of those little remotes, lest it summon memories of that weird era when movies on DVD came with similar features.

I’m too afraid to start a game that I know is just going to get cancelled after two levels.

and I thought Netflix was shit at promoting their own shows and movies but I had no clue they even had games

Maybe if they made it more like Stadia, GeForce NOW & xCloud where you can play real games on a TV and/or monitor, people would be more into it.

So someone at Netflix decided to try the Quibi model but with games and is shocked it didn’t work while the pandemic was still going?

I mean...if all my friends jumped off a bridge, I’m not sure I want to waste the time turning around to see what they’re jumping from...

“Why Is TikTok Always Trying to Give Us Diarrhea?“

Maybe, but with all the pushes to raise minimum wage and the fast food industry’s extreme reluctance to do that, this might make sense for them. Just treat everyone as independent contractors who get paid per order rather than per hour (so it comes out to be far less than minimum wage) and require them to provide…

This will be like call centers. People from the Philippines and India with incomprehensible accents working for even worse wages taking your order. This may actually end up worse than call centers since cultural expectations of food could be radically different in other parts of the world

“Does that mean I have to wait for the ad to play before I can open the door?”

Seems to be a disconnect between main title and slide titles.
