There was, but it’s shipped by Amazon. The site just redirects to an Amazon store.

How much of that bleaching was medical vs choice?

Horse and sparrow theory?

For those who don’t know, this phrase has come full circle.

It started as something literally impossible. Then people started using it to say they did it anyway. Expecting what is supposed to be impossible out of people is insane.

The shift will be “you can make more paperclips. Make the paperclips faster.”

They’re doing the ai murderbot episodes too.

Thank you. Not enough people recognize this.

Additionally, groups with an agenda can reinforce this trend.

I’ve found it surprisingly difficult to make good iced tea.

Your indie game won’t sell if you can’t advertise it on Steam. They have a monopoly.

Download speed is highly relative to latency

Tell that to my USB stick.

Do you stack your dishwasher like this?

You really think you can independently afford high speed localized 24/7 file hosting all over the world for potentially millions of downloads for less than 30% of your sell price?

Absolutely, yes, 1000%. And why does your download need to be local? Have you heard of The Internet?

You’re not really making an argument against a monopoly when you say it can’t be done without Steam.

30% of your gross income for advertising and hosting is a scam. It’s a scam when Apple does it, when Google does it, and yes, when Steam does it.

There’s a reason Gabe can afford that yacht without breaking a sweat.

Just because Steam is the best of the software monopolies doesn’t exclude it from the group.

I lean into it intentionally sometimes. Some of those things sponsor the things I like, and I want those things to be keep happening, so I’ll buy some Pagoda egg rolls that I never would have touched otherwise.

That doesn’t work with the really intrusive ads though.

I bet it’s great if your business is Spirit Halloween.

just have a magic 8ball sitting on your desk

I kind of like this, with some modification. It’s a magic 8 ball of Stack Overflow answers. It’ll try to find the one you need. If it’s too hard to find that or if it doesn’t exist, it’s just gonna find the one that sounds good.

yeah, it gives you the answer it thinks you want based on your prompts.

I’d be interested to see what prompts they used to, uh, prompt this response.

Hong Kong? Taiwan?

I’d recommend one that’s not plastic. (Though I have that same one and use it occasionally.)
