No, you got that wrong. In this show it were the billionaires who were being fucked over.

People do indeed have foresight. And they are planning ahead. That’s why they are not buying electric cars.

My brain can’t comprehend this. Checkmate, science.

The effect of ads is usually not directly linked to a specific product.

If, for example, you need a new box of laundry detergent, you’ll go to the supermarket. There you might find brand A, which you’ve never heard of, or brand B, which had an ad you’ve seen or heard somewhere. Studies have shown you’ll be more likely to buy brand B, because you’ll find it more trustworthy, which is because you’ve heard about it somewhere.

So, a lot of ads aren’t solely about a specific product, but also about making their brand perform better in the long run. Therefore, even if an ad is just making noise on the background, it may still have an effect on you. And, since it’s a subliminal process, it’s extremely difficult to make a concious decision to not buy products you’ve seen or heard ads of.

A lot of people haven’t played HL:Alyx because of the VR requirement… But my goodness it was amazing.

Valve will never release a HL-title before it’s absolutely groundbreaking.

Well, either my dirt or my cheese smells wrong then, because they never smell similar to me.

Gouda, first of all, is not a type of cheese that should be moldy.

Also, cheeses that are made to be moldy, don’t just become moldy on their own. The mold is added in the production process, and is a type of mold that usually wouldn’t have appeared on the cheese anyhow.

Hadn’t heard of that one yet. Looks very promosing, will keep an eye on it. Thanks.

Planet Coaster 1 certainly wasn’t half-finished. The developers actively listened to the community and constantly made free improvements for years after release.

Sure, it has lots of DLC packs, but none of them are in any way essential.

Luckily they can’t do this in the EU. As an EU-citizen, I have the right to subscribe in Romania, for example, and pay no more than a Romanian would.

I can’t really find a source for it, but I remember the EU banning plastic in tea bags quite recently, a few years ago at most. Here in the Netherlands, a lot of tea bags contain(ed) plastic as some kind of sealant.

Also, a lot of tea contains sugar, for no good reason whatsoever.

The “no moose allowed”-sign with a five-legged moose is absolutely killing me. Thank you for this

There’s a big difference between European brands though.

French and Italian cars, for example, are generally not that reliable. However, BMW’s (German) are known to be quite reliable. Same goes for Volvo.
