I do wish we had more granular controls of what to block and when, but maybe that’s on me to make that.
All of these users have great stuff, but sometimes their posts to certain communities may align less with my interests. I’ve mostly resorted to blocking those entire communities, but if I could block posts to that community only by specific users, that would be better.
I imagine a lot of folks. Everyone has a pocket watch nowadays. Building a habit to check your wrist instead of your pocket isn’t necessarily easy if it’s new.
Even if there’s an understanding of the doorman fallacy throughout most of the chain of command, you can still run into issues.
I know as an analyst both me and my boss were very aware of intangibles, but usually couldn’t find a way to model them. The consumers of our reporting would also want these, but couldn’t always tell a story that was palatable to the client to justify the expense.
You end up with everyone knowing the doorman is a big deal but being unable to hold onto him.
Yellow ochre gives a similar result, but is missing the blue tones that make slightly green
Difficulty is much harder to research. It’s relatively easy to find if there’s depictions of drug use in a movie.
It’s much harder to tell how hard or easy a game is. I’m reasonably experienced with games, and every time I start one I still waffle over difficulty.
Dark souls often has both its difficulty and the importance of its difficulty to the experience overblown. You can still have encounters like Asylum Demon and Sen’s Fortress alongside difficulty settings.
If you have a specific trigger you may want to research the movie ahead of time for content. Resources like does the dog die help. Depending on your exact needs you may be able to use other tactics like watching with a friend.
With games this is different in a couple big ways.
With movies, there are still accessibility things that people do rightly complain about, like the sound mixing. Whispery actors mixed purely for movie theaters is an accessibility problem, even if it’s not typically framed that way.
Granular difficulty options also help. Things like being able to make the parry timings easier or harder than that rest of the difficulty.
If your difficulty presets are turning a bunch of levers at once, letting folks make their own can be very helpful.
There’s also things that aren’t often considered difficulty, but that can definitely make a game harder for some folks.
With Witcher 3 the only way I was able to play it successfully was modding it to be able to ignore a bunch of mechanics I found tedious. Things like ignoring carry weight, turning off item durability, lengthening potion duration, having items scale to my level, and hoovering up loot. Inventory management is often exhausting for me.
It’s not an easy fix this can break a game’s economy, and I think I had separate mods to reduce the impact of that.
I’m kind of surprised it took so long to see Trout Mask Replica here. Although the prompt was for an album you like, which might exclude it.
I’m not sure if I like it, but I definitely have the phrase “fast and bulbous” run through my head sometimes.
My mom does bulgur wheat and it does a pretty good job at the texture. I prefer to do canned chickpeas run through a food processor just until roughly chopped, or use a potato masher. Readd the drained liquid after. Both work great, but I’d rather have more beans than wheat in my diet.
Every time I make chili it’s a toss up for what recipe I use. Meat or no meat, chili powder or dried chilis. There are a lot of great ways to make it and it’s hard to stay put.
But wages haven’t mixed to match. I’d be very surprised if pipe fitters are making anything close to 175k.
100k and up is still frequently thought of as being a well paying job.
Lots of great ways to serve spinach here already. A few more:
Lemon juice too! But yes, this is one of the many great ways to eat spinach
There isn’t a good word that signifies just the citrus that look and taste more or less like oranges.
Sorry, I should’ve realized that could read as ambiguous or nonsense.
To rephrase: Navel oranges are the worst variety of fruits that taste approximately like an orange.
At least where I’m from orange on it’s own can mean either navel orange, or any similar fruit like tangerine, mandarin, or clementine.
I had a friend insist carrots must be peeled, and that the peels are inedible.
I once gave a coworker a bit of prosciutto. She told me it was spicy.
Overall, this may also be related to a persistent refusal to distinguish between spicy and spices.
Oranges are the worst kind of orange. They taste quite good, but if I need to use tools to eat it, I want something at least as good as a grapefruit.
I’m not a fan of it, but if I’m remembering correctly, only up to about 2% of views come from the subscriptions page.
This means a channel has to attract a lot of folks from other areas, and this requires somehow grabbing people. YouTube has tools for A/B testing thumbnails and titles. Channels that have tried clickbait vs normal thumbnails have found normal just doesn’t generate clicks.
So unless YouTube revenue makes up a small enough percent of a channel’s income, the channel is basically forced into using it. Even if they find it just as distasteful as we do.
Source: I think this is something Tom Scott went into at some point. The information is likely a few years out of date, but I wouldn’t expect that it’s changed radically.
I’m honestly more baffled and annoyed at how low usage of subscriptions is, than I am at clickbait. It makes it seem like this problem stems more from an audience desire to be spoonfed by an inscrutable algorithm than from anything to do with clickbait itself, or choices freely made by channels.
This might be even more important.
The closing paragraph kind of undercuts that though. Like people may remember, but they’ll think you’re cool.
The takeaway is clearly to shart in public if you want people to look up to you.
