Not too bad, but could be better.
A funny story about my not so great love life: just matched with a girl on Tinder which I managed to have engaging text discussions with and it felt quite genuine. This is rare for me, so I was happy about it.
Well, in the end it became obvious to me it was just a pig butchering romance scam when she started to talk about how she can help me invest in cryptocurrency.
I guess I’m going to be a failure in love life for a bit longer lol.
My guess to why the ads are so different:
The firms making the ads are probably completely separate from the developers. Could be just random people from fiverr making the ads. They get barely any gameplay footage, so they just come up with some random gameplay that looks fun in an ad.
I guess the game developers might be some random people from fiverr as well.
As to why it works: no idea. I guess some people just don’t care, and given how cheap these games are to make they probably just need a few people to break even.
I might click on some sponsored results in Google search if it was the result I was looking for either way.
This assumes a lot about how Reddit works internally. They might just store every edit of each comment forever.
Assassins will be assigned to the assassins assigned to the assassins!
They changed owners or something a few years ago, which means Roman Mars got more time to work with actual podcast stuff instead of being a manager.
99 percent invisible is a good one. It’s about the stories behind things we take for granted in the world. It can be anything between ambulances, country borders and the lyrics of who let the dogs out.
TIL not only robots can get addicted to social media
I’m feeling the opposite lately. YouTube recommendations suck. I often open the app/page for the quick dopamine rush, but few of the recommendations interests me, so I just bounce off. For me, YouTube is mostly for long form content nowadays. Something I can put in the background while cooking/doing dishes.
Instagram is turning more and more like TikTok. Sometimes it recommends me something fun (like cat videos), but often it’s just nonsense. So I bounce off quite quickly there as well.
I feel happy about it.

I think “15 hours ago” is fine. That one is quite precise. Showing date as “1 year ago” is not helpful. It could be anything between 2021-10-06 and 2022-10-05. It’s a huge span. In that time Ukraine got invaded and the Queen died.
I love it. That means I will hate Instagram more and use it less. Please, no quality of life improvements to that app.
Saying “1 week ago” or “1 month ago” instead of just saying the date. Dude, I want to know if this happened in August or September.

Does that mean I can make my poop glitter?
It’s good they’re financially insured in case they face some bad years. Who knows what will happen in the future.
I would be concerned if they barely had any cash reserves at all.
We take Wikipedia too much for granted.
It’s a service that has remained ad free to this day. No pop up asking you to be tracked. No pop up forcing you to create an account. No pop up asking you to subscribe to their news feed. It’s one of the few remnants left of the old open web.
Specialization has always been a thing. Probably more so before. A carpenter wouldn’t just wake up and “nah, I’d rather work with pottery today”. The carpenter probably became a carpenter because their parents passed on their carpentering skills to them, so that’s what they do until they die.
Thanks. I’m content with my own solitude, but I can admit the affirmation I got from this event felt nice, even though it was all stimulated.
