This means people in the test market are clicking on those ads. Not much we can do about it at that point - it works therefore they’ll use it.

The majority of the aluminum in circulation in the US is recycled. It’s significantly more than even glass and paper. The reason is because it’s much cheaper to use recycled aluminum than raw.

But you’re right when it comes to plastic.

It’s not exclusive to older generations unfortunately.

I think there’s a lot of self selection going on. Most people who migrated here did it based on principles (or a persecution complex), so of course they will have lots of political opinions, often extreme. Frankly, it’s getting a little tiring seeing it everywhere. Even on gaming subs it seems like every other post results in a discussion about the evils of capitalism.

Sometimes it does seem like everyone’s on a soapbox or cynical crusade about some shit or another and you’re a bad person if you don’t know or care.

Lots of places on Reddit and Twitter also feel that way. I think it’s just an inherent part of mass online interaction.

Idk if that helps your point as it’s simultaneously one of the most studied and least understood things in physics. Although I doubt a creationist could mount that argument.

From the article:

It is unclear if the claim of “at Gamescom” means that Nintendo will be holding a Nintendo Direct the week of the show (22nd to the 27th of August) or if the company with announce a potential Switch 2 at a Gamescom event, such as Geoff Keighley’s co-run Opening Night Live event on the 22nd of August.

The Switch was announced via a tweet in 2016, only a handful of months before the console’s release

Yeah, what’s happening here?

In case you didn’t know, they did remake it in 2006: https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_settlers_2_10th_anniversary

It’s probably due for another remake at this point since, somehow, it still remains the best in the series after 26 years and 10+ games, but I’m personally getting really tired of playing the same games over and over again with shinier graphics.

r/redditrequest is a disgusting feeding frenzy right now. For every mod that's continuing the protest or has already been "fired", there's a dozen people desperately begging to be allowed to do free labor for that tiny bit of authority they'll get on their corner of reddit.

"In addition to setting guidelines for their forums, many are quasi-influencers who engage and lure users. And unlike counterparts elsewhere, Reddit’s mods are unpaid. That makes them an odd hybrid of employees, customers and suppliers. Researchers at Northwestern University estimate that Reddit’s mods perform at least $3.4 million worth of labor annually."

It's a good explanation of why Reddit's structure is both brilliant and fragile. They depend on this labor which costs them nothing, but that also means they don't really have control over them. Huffman can't just say shut up and get back to work since they're not on the payroll.

It also paints a much bleaker picture of their business prospects than most of the other articles I've seen. They seem believe the weaknesses that were revealed by this blackout are going to prevent them from going public any time soon.
