Get out the guillotines.

The irony is that this very post is literally every pillar of marketing in one place.

Identify a specific demographic that may be under-served or for whom you have an attractive product, deliver said product to that demographic.

Here we are in a Technology community gobbling down the product (site/article) and talking all about it. Many will “share” it to various friends. Some will bookmark it, for others viewing the logo impression builds the overall consumer trust score of the brand.

We’re all too smart for it though because I said so.

As a former developer with probably 40 games under my belt, I’m gonna say this is a highly specious article designed to stroke egos. Yes there are very valid points being made that I can personally identify with, but they come from a one-dimensional perspective that also manages to leave out data, and conspicuously lacks basic understanding of the efficacy of ‘general’ sales/marketing, instead filling in with presumptions of comparative efficacy.

I really appreciate this remark but I think it kind of leaves something out, among the hopeful message.

I think America is actually experiencing the greatest theft of wealth, being transferred AWAY from the middle- and lower- classes, TO the ruling Elite.

I see people dancing up and down on leopards ate my face, just as one random example… But the short-term mockery misses the long-term pain under which we will all suffer.

There are farmers who love Trump who are going to lose their farms, when they are purchased by large conglomerates, after their overseas markets were intentionally destroyed with tariffs. The last thing this world needs is more Monsanto-esque food control.

There are huge swaths of US tourist properties that are going up for fire sale in the next couple years. All of that land is going to be stolen because no one can/will visit. Although tourism is a huge industry, it’s still highly competitive and the margins are razor thin. Most tourist destinations will not be able to weather the storm.

Manufacturing, agriculture, travel… like… I could just make a list of so many lives that businesses that are going to be destroyed. And there’s fatcats just waiting to strike and steal what they have built, for pennies on the dollar.

America is in a massive crisis right now. People are so busy focusing on mockery and schadenfreude and identity politics, there’s not a lot of talk about what’s actually going on in the bigger picture!

All of America’s wealth is being stolen. Every citizen is having their generational wealth swindled from under them. Even if there’s not a direct loss one could point to, massive inflation has horrendously deflated a century of citizens’ wealth building. Families have been set back generations, even if the course is reversed. Reproductive rights are almost gone. Bump more children out with less ability to feed them, more slaves.

It’s such a dire situation and people aren’t grasping the scope of it. It freaks me the hell out.

You’re wasting your time, breath, and you’re giving bad advice.

Reddit developers and admins have gone on the record multiple times that nothing you delete is ever deleted, nothing you edit is ever deleted, they will restore comments at will, meanwhile you feed the AI maw.

The only solution is get the hell off that platform already.

The facts are:

She has a PhD in theoretical physics. She could not find meaningful employment in particle physics. Unless somebody can correct me, she’s produced little if anything substantive to the field.

In the last several years she has engaged in attacks against the public trust for science. She engages the conspiratorial-minded viewers who’re looking for any reason to disavow scientific knowledge.

One example was putting on scripted theatrics while reading a self-penned letter fraudulently claimed was from a prominent scientist, who’s identity and details of course must be kept totally secret. Reading out this “bombshell letter” was a transparent children’s play, where the held-anonymous writer magically agreed with every one of her endless, bleating refrains, that most scientific research is “bullshit”.

Then her support for Eric Weinstein who is a complete grifting con-man with an “entertainment” publishing that he fraudulently describes as both a “paper” and a credible physical theory. It was literally released on April 1 and directly in it, it tells you it is a work of fiction meant for entertainment, and like all good science (/s) may not be used, incorporated into other works, or improved upon. It’s a complete piece of hogwash, and every credible physicist from here to Mars has described as not fit to wipe fecal matter; not a theory, not even science.

Then there’s all the Theil money.

Check out Professor Dave on YT, he just fucking obliterates her.

The porn-seeking is your maladaptive mood-regulator.

So if you want to change your behaviors or the way you feel about them, you need to change the way you think and feel inside.

Which means stop focusing on the behavior, and start focusing on the underlying feelings which provoke the behavior. I do strongly suggest therapy, because it’s an emotional thing that’s happening which leads to your useage.

Oh thank you

What even is a launcher, what does this app actually do? I’m asking earnestly I’ve never been able to figure it out

It is the same in Canada. However, there are still special provisions that 2nd class the labor rights of restaurant employees.

Oh wow, what a huge memory triggered! The total prioritization of whiz-bang on that site.

Shot me back to 1998(?ish?) where I met an absolutely amazing artist who started with street and scene art, huge airbrushed murals, and moved into digital media. He was an absolutely drug-addled, unprofessional lunatic. But also the best, if you could ever as the creative lead, draw a circle around him. We made a lot of games that were very bog-standard mechanically, but he took the creative design to places nobody had been in terms of visual game design. I love/hated him and I affectionately called him Mad Dog and it stuck at work lol

This website reminded me of his personal side project Dr Wash. I remember him showing off his site to me, which at the time was truly a marvel of what could be done artistically on the Web. After browsing every section and page, I was left with one question to him: What is it you actually do or sell?? I meant it! lol

This memory hit me when it took me 30 seconds of mystery meat navigation, then no-scrollbar but need to infini-scroll down to hopefully find textual information that actually says something. Etc. Some things never change haha

Imagine how shadows on earth would look if our sun was actually a cosmic LED bulb array with 9 bulbs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbra%2C_penumbra_and_antumbra

Any light source they’re using isn’t a single beam of photons, it’s a cast cone of light. Actually multiple cones because mostly it’s LED array lighting.

So there’s an (effectively) infinite number of shadows because it’s being hit by photons coming from multiple angles, from multiple little light cones.

The shadows form a distributed pattern behind.

There’s other factors like scattering within the media the photons travel through (air) as well as refraction.

e: I tried to make it make more sense. Its about understanding that a light sources are cones of light hitting from many angles at once.

A better understanding will flow from knowing that federal minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13 per hour.

So there is specific legislation in place to abuse restaurant workers, restaurant owners take full advantage of this.

Just wondering, in your own words, what demographic is this article is discussing?

You know how everybody blames boomers for various things, which had nothing to do with them, they were merely victims of the capitalist corrupt systems they lived under? This is your generation’s failure to address the needs of the future. Good luck.

MAGA are delusional terrorists. So this completely expected.

Delusional billionaire with a persecution complex.
