Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it "manufactured discontent".

I think right-wing talk radio has been going for quite a while as well.

Okay, maybe sub-genre is the proper phrase I was thinking of. Thanks!

The headline isn't telling a full story

Some of these include free fruit and beverages, fitness coaches in the gym, a sabbatical after four years with the company, and the grounding of the Intel Air Shuttle that flies between California, Arizona, and Oregon.

I'm a dual citizen from the UK/Canada.

I feel the same way after Brexit. I felt a huge sense of dread and my coworker said to me, "we work in a high paying position and we're men, we're mostly going to be okay. The people that voted for Brexit have just f*cked themselves and there's nothing we can do about it."

I do feel a lot of animosity to any Trump supporter and I feel that's warranted. I don't care to elaborate further. I'm thinking of dropping social media for the next six months because there's a lot of shit going on that I have no control over and I can't change.

I used to be that guy too. I used to be the idiot that recommended him to others as well. I followed him from NewsRadio, FearFactor and stuff too man.

Yeah I actively avoid anything related to that clown now.

Fuck Joe Rogan, there could literally not be a worst candidate for the Republican party than Trump right now and this fuck face endorses him. Fuck him.

I remember working in the London UK office and we curse non-stop over there it's great. Whenever our colleagues from SF would visit they would always be surprised how much we swear. I'd see them do the turnaround like, 'what just happened?'.

It's a cult. They have people denying COVID ever existed. Heartily rejecting vaccines.

There's just too much to list but it only ever makes sense if you take whatever he's doing as right and readjust everyone around him to work does it ever make sense.

The fact that this election is even close is absolutely insane to me.

Ana Kasparian says no.

Which I found odd but whatever...

lol, it's alright, it's cold communication on the Internet. I also genuinely thank you for both replies!

 

It's a story from April, I tried seeing if it was posted before, however it's the story about how the advertising and finance team beat the search team into submission by ousting the core person protecting it to pursue "growth" and "revenue" at all costs.
