When I looked up the definition of "Emotional Abuse". It seemed I was the last person to see it.

I never was good at being subtle.

I just went with forgoing my own self care and losing my sense of self in pursuit of meeting her ever changing expectations instead of acknowledging if come to define myself be the relationship. Not sure which is better..

Not to worry though, the papers are in the mail!

I absolutely love questions like this! My wife absolutely hates them. She often gets irritated when people ask questions about what you think.

Like when our therapist asked her "How do you think your actions contribute to your own unhappiness?"

Man, I really miss Stadia. I used it for a year and it worked flawlessly. Even still have the app on my phone as I couldn't bring myself to uninstall it.

Audiobooks at 2x speed seemed to help me. I didn't notice the lag in the story as much.

My extended family from Idaho/Montana say "Ruff".

Somewhat similarly, when they say wolf it's said as "wuff".

Do... Do people really think it's their imagination?

The worse results likely refers to results for advertisers but this will impact Meta's ad revenue in the long run.

The article cited an example with almost zero sales with CPMs of $250, which is crazy high. I'd also bet the biggest chunk of advertisers using these tools don't have sophisticated advertising strategies or resources. Many of them will probably pause these poor performing campaigns and be very restrictive with future budgets until performance improves.

In short, Meta took a lot of money in a short time but didn't earn much money back for advertisers, so they will spend less in the future and less money make Meta sad.

Yup. Currently work at an ad tech company and we just pushed a new ad surface and the executives freaking loved it. It adds on additional revenue without putting any of the current revenue at risk. Internally, the narrative was super positive while externally it was "Well, that's kind of annoying".

So long as user engagement doesn't totally tank, they see it as a complete win.
