It’s a dumb, hopeful prompt, as usual for social media managers.
Tangentially, I’m not sure I get the continued Edge hate. It’s not as nice as Firefox, but I’d gladly choose Edge over Chrome when using a site that requires WebKit. It at least means tabs go to sleep, and Microsoft gets to remove Google’s tracking (and, admittedly, add their own)
It’s not quite the same thing, but I feel like not enough directors value the attention viewers give to the background.
Let’s say you have an animation, and plan a silly bit of slapstick where someone’s chasing a butterfly. Put it on shot, and it’s kind of over-focused on something rudimentary. But have two characters in the foreground, using 80% of the frame, conducting a boring conversation, and put that person with the butterfly in the background, and it’s ten times funnier because viewers feel a sense of ownership in being the one to “notice” it - even if the director knew fully well no one was focused on the conversation.
In the gaming sector, nothing has adequately replicated the stylus used by the DS, 3DS, and Wii U. It was the best way to play a few signature games like Elite Beat Agents (now incarnated as Osu) and Trauma Center: Under the Knife. Touchscreens are just a bit too universal and resilient for us to go back to them.
I remember in JRPG The World Ends With You, each piece of clothing has a “Bravery” rating. Higher Bravery on the clothing meant the user needed to have a higher Bravery stat to wear it. Girls naturally had mugh higher bravery, and those outfits ranged from girly to risque, but there was no actual gender restriction.
Lower court: “We find that since the man was found dead from dehydration, he must have been killed by the accused’s witchcraft that sucked his fluids!”
Higher court: Looking at a body covered in bruises from a long fall “I’m sorry, what…?”
Imagine if Jesus Christ himself was just a benevolent charlatan that tried to codify a good standard of conduct for all his followers (and was then sadly overinterpreted and used for the occasional hate-speech)
This is a really cool list since it gets a bunch of people in the comments to fight over which one is the best. Obviously several could somehow let you gain a million dollars, but money alone might not be the limit.
I seem to remember one techno-Asian-dystopia book that may have highlighted this, where every week all the major banks have a ceremonial exchange of tons of gold bricks, as a proof to solidify their claims of having money that’s owed/exchanged.
I find it cool that in my company’s cultural tolerance / unconscious bias course, they kind of call out how everyone’s going to have their initial struggles of possibly saying the wrong thing, and just accept that it’s a part of learning something new.
If you’re visiting an African family and end up saying something insensitive, you can apologize while still continuing to engage; as long as your hosts are good people they’ll likely accept common flubs as long as you show signs of improvement.
Fiction fetishizes the “burn it all down and restart” mentality; but you could stretch imagination to a billion sentient species, even assuming they could ever exist, and I doubt any could make the change and progress humanity has.
It’s not even possible to duplicate the Industrial Revolution before, because the easily accessible fuel is no longer there.
I do not think it’s any easier to get people to do things when the building is on fire. People just become more stressed, and make poorer decisions for self-preservation. While you do see people support each other during disasters like floods, it’s not always the case.
I have no information to add but am writing a response to foster further discussion. Next time, I will include incorrect information so that someone will jump in to correct me.
Something I notice is how comic panels naturally developed the anime rule “Talking is a free action”. In JoJo, a character can fumble a ball, and explain to their teammate that they need to catch it before it hits the ground or the enemy will steal their souls.
In a comic, having a talk bubble during an action shot is very normal, and we don’t think about it too much; it only ends up twisting our view of time when motion is added in an anime adaptation.
I don’t know if there’s a reason to this, but on a lot of sites, clicking “manage” and then “save” seems to give some good defaults - like maybe they need an affirmative action to “turn on” eating your babies settings.
The one thing I don’t like about digital payments is that so far, they’ve all been owned/controlled by various major card processors, like Visa. That control really gives those processors a dominant position and basically free money.
Ancient history had a lot of instances of disliked people being exiled from a territory. Now that all land is claimed, I guess we can’t do that anymore.
I don’t even know which country would want Trump instead. Russia might not even find him useful from within their borders.
When I was in Venice I only tried a Diavolo at a local restaurant. It certainly could be my American expectations but nothing amazed me about it; definitely feel like a bit more could be done to mesh the ingredients. Or, maybe my American brain just craved sweeter, cheesier stuff.
Then again, I went to Germany and the bread there was fantastic compared to America, so unless they boarded the sugar train it feels like there must be something that can be done right with good ingredients.
My favorite is downvoting both sides of a political discussion when both sides have stopped citing interesting arguments/facts, and have devolved to name calling or some variant of “don’t care”.
Sad when it leads to someone failing to find love. Horrifying when it leads to someone becoming harassing and abusive in beliefs that they’re being “persistent”.
