People generally don't realize how many ads are actually on pages. It's way more than just some search results. Carousels are entirely ads. Home page is almost 100% ads. The men's pants page, mostly ads. Product comparison or review sites are almost all ad based. Affiliate links are just a way to make ads not look like ads.
You saw a steam deck ad, you just didn't classify it as an ad. People who think ads don't affect them are lieing to themselves. Not all ads are about immediate action. You stop at Taco Bell over McDonald's on a road trip because their ad gets associated with happiness subconsciously. Not being able to think of the ads is the point, most ads aren't trying to directly stick in your brain, it's about associating keywords and emotion.
People don't like seeing videos of brazen shop lifting and entire streets of cars with broken windows. Sure police apathy is part of the problem, but the policies of being "soft" on "minor" crime also weren't working.
It's not about hating the guy on the other side because someone told you to. I mean, you should hate someone because they're an asshole, or a pervert, or snob, or they're lazy, or arrogant or an idiot or know-it-all. Those are reasons to dislike somebody. You don't hate a person because someone told you to. You have to learn to despise people on a personal level. Not because they're red, or because they're blue, but because ya know them, and you see them every single day. And you can't stand them, because they're a complete and total fucking douchebag.
If the rum is for coquito, Bacardi is fine. It's going to get stomped on by the other ingredients, better quality isn't going to be noticable for most.
For a godfather, if using scotch I'd go with Jonnie Walker unless you know people that would prefer a more bold scotch. With other whiskey the mid to low end is probably ok for those that don't drink a lot of whiskey. Amaretto will add a lot of sweetness. It's a spirit forward drink, so spending more on the whiskey will be the biggest improvement. Disaronno is technically not an amaretto, but commonly used as one for a higher end option, most liquor stores aren't going to have lots of options cheaper will likely be sweeter.
Seven deadly sins uses a lot of biblical and mythical influences.
Trinity Blood uses the papal state as a government.
Hetalia Axis powers uses mythical representations of countries as characters, this might be a stretch.
He will get forced out before anything gets too bad. There's way too much money involved in many of the things he wants to change for corporations to just take it.
If the vice president can't be the figurehead of a taskforce in a friendly administration for an important campaign issue, they aren't qualified to be president.
People aren't going to see a movie that lies about it being a part 1 either, at least not after the first weekend when the word gets out
I thought the awful inlaw sweet was the surprise at first, then I knew I was wrong.
That's how live service games work. The vast majority don't make money. It's a go viral or die market.
Recognization obviously.
It wasn't just not validating, Trump was allowed to just promise no taxes on tips or overtime without getting called out on blatant false promises. Harris just went me too on that.
This message fell flat. She's the vice president, the message should have been I'm working with the AG now to investigate price to gouging, and will continue that when elected. Also the end result is just the government getting a small settlement check, that means fuck all to people.
Maybe one day enough younger people will be in elected that understand computers aren't magic. There's no fundamental difference between selling a DVD and a digital movie, from a legal perspective.
It would be nice to have the option to prepay to some degree. Even with insurance over half of her bill was just copays for all the visits.
You couldn't make Blues Brothers today, because payments for concerts are virtual so there's no cash to steal.
An even older candidate would have absolutely lost in 24. He may have won in 16, but more likely he loses but gets a bigger share of the popular vote than Hilary did.
Wouldn't this violate the prime directive? Or if the captain fucks an elf is it ok then?
Now is a great time for if I were there hypotheticals, so here's mine.
Once it was decided to run Harris and push Biden out, they should have gone all the way and used the 25th amendment to let Harris become president. This would have effectively separated her from Biden while still allowing her to take credit for the good stuff. She could have instructed the DOJ to start investigating price gouging now, and campaigned on needing to win to keep it up.
The 100ish days wouldn't have been enough for wholesale replacement, but it could have created a concrete message of this is where I want to go. A campaign focused on already delivering is a positive message people could get behind as well.
With Tyrek Hill being detained less than 4 months after the arrest of Scottie Scheffler, have the police actually angered enough people with money and power that there could be actual consequences?
A jury has found James Crumbley, the father of the Oxford High School shooter, guilty of all four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
Not a huge surprise.

Frozen Frenzy is an intriguing idea, but after Tuesday night it's unclear if there's a way to execute it well with a flow sport like hockey.
The Michigan Wolverines' football program, which is ranked No. 2, is being investigated by the NCAA amid allegations of sign stealing.
Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh would not admit to lying to NCAA investigators. It appears that will cost him part of Wolverines' 2023 season.
Harbaugh is looking at a 4 game suspension for lying to NCAA investigation. Ultimately meaningless because the first 4 games aren't against anyone competitive. This could be an excuse to not extend his contract that expires after this season.
What is everyone's predictions for the coming season? The hype is as an all time high for the Lions, is anyone buying it?
Vegas has the Lions at 9.5 wins, I think it's totally possible that they can hit the over. I'm buying the hype and think that this year it's the Lions division to lose. Superbowl is probably not happening, but 1-2 playoff wins could happen.
DETROIT - The Detroit Red Wings today signed left wing J.T. Compher to a five-year contract with an average annual value of $5.1 million.
Worst FA signing two years running with Chiarot and Compher.
