One can make more than one reference at a time.

Is JJ Abrams involved as well?

You’re trying to excuse apologist language. Telling me to define the world by their terms, not how the world is. If you want to accept that their way is the right way, that’s on you. But when you tell others, that’s just spreading their propaganda.

They may have a specific corpo-speak word for it that they have codified into law with liberal applications of money… but in effect it is still advertising.

Arguing the etymology is like a child abuser arguing the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia. At the end of the day, they’re still a child abuser, no matter how they define it.

Promotions are a form of advertising. Just because they have the excuse that it’s advertising on their own service doesn’t make it not advertising.

Yeah, that’s not a radical belief analogous to what you claim to hate at all.

Ugh, yeah, I can’t stand all the ageless people around me. Get on my mortal plane, gosh!

If only there were some kind of middle ground… sadly only extremes exist 😔

No, that’s the Beta Romeo. Not as much eagle in the Thundercougarfalconbird.

Oh, sorry, I’ll leave you to your specious argument.

They’re learned muscle memory.

Is this a tiny hands problem I’m too normal to have?

Is the little descriptive icon there the whole time? Is it there only when you try to use the gesture? It might be malicious if there was no warning at all and it just does it… but to me it seems like they’re just trying to apply intuitive design practices in their mobile site design.

Not everything is an attack, even if one feels attacked.

That’s the day M. Bison came to my village!

A constitutional crisis is a specific kind of thing, which has more to do with machinations of power rather than the fallout of those machinations.

As yet there hasn’t been a strong constitutionally backed opposition to these actions, though I imagine they’re in the works, it’s probably not a “constitutional” crisis, just a more generic one.

“The situation is bad because I don’t have a monopoly. People should give me a monopoly so that I can improve their experience!”

The more that someone drinks it, the higher their likelihood of dying.

Just because something is easier to implement doesn’t mean it will work better.

Honestly, that’s the biggest hurdle our current economic systems are facing. People go for the easy option that seems like it should work instead of the longer term plan that has more flexibility and chance for success.

The problem with your suggestion is that it still hinges on the capitalist system to provide for people. And thus is far easier to exploit.

Yes, and then that smaller firm fails because they take too many risks that have little chance of success. They end up being bought up by the larger firms, and all their assets put towards those higher value investments.
