Kind of ironic that an article about anonymity wanted me to provide my email address and remove anonymity in order to read it.

“I want a Polestar!”

“We have Polestar at home!”

I love this so much because it’s so absolutely chaotic, but it’s also not too far off.

Hear me out!

You’re cooking Mac and cheese, and you put on some breadcrumbs or panko to give the dish some texture—cool, cool.

A knob of cream cheese, assuming you’re already having a mix of cheeses, that could give some creaminess to the mix and it doesn’t sound that bad—dare I say even potentially good?!

But the thought of a savory cheesecake with pasta in it is also just so revolting I can’t help but hate it. Visually even I think the robots did a great job here, and I still hate it.

Overall, love it. Whoever thought this up, kudos.

That was kind of my thought too. These people were offering a subscription based service that people were paying for. This shows pretty conclusively that people are willing to pay for content when it is conveniently packaged. When it’s broken apart and fragmented, piracy and alternative consumption method become more appealing.

Could you imagine if the music industry operated in the same way? Instead of choosing whether to use Spotify, Apple Music, etc, you needed to have both just to consume a relatively small collection of popular music? That would be madness—and it’s madness for film and television content as well.

Can we actually enforce one of the previous lawsuits first please 🙏

I’m kind of conflicted about this. On one hand it’s dangerous that the public’s access to information is so tightly coupled to a single organizations decisions, and I can see the danger in Google making a change like this.

On the other hand, clickbait and SEO gaming has gone on so long that using a site like Google has become significantly less useful to actually finding information, and if a site like Kotakus traffic is down by 60% as a result—is that due to Google being dangerous, or Kotaku having a pile of garbage content meant to game the system and bring in traffic?

For what it’s worth I’m using Kotaku as an example because the article used Kotaku as an example—I have no actual opinion or evidence around the actual content on that particular site.

Sorry—my comment was in reference to this not being a new playbook since that’s exactly what the GOP did with hawking Kanye as a candidate. He would never win but maybe he would steal votes from the democrats.

So, Kanye for President 2.0?

This isn’t the original brand that I had, but these are close and more or less comparable, which was incredibly shocking for me given I got them at a Walmart https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/blueberries-xl/6000204263062

Generally speaking, I’m with you, but there is some new variety that’s come out recently that are both giant, and delicious. They’re more expensive than the small ones so I was doubly skeptical but I was blown away by the flavor.

As much as I’d like to see a good sequel to Austin Powers, I kinda feel like the posters are forgetting about The Love Guru in hoping for a progressive, non-tone deaf story. 😬
