Create the problem, sell the solution.
No, no. All the NPCs are supposed to have 7 fingers on each of their three hands. It’s in the lore.

When you start a new language, you learn “The Rules” first, and wonder why your first language doesn’t have such immutable “Rules.”
Then when you get fluent, you realize there are just as many exceptions as your first language.
Reminds me of one class I had in high school right after lunch. The teacher was occasionally late getting back to class from the bar.
That was a very long way to say electric boats are bad because they’re preferable to sharks.
Same reason people would buy an S when they could get more power, more storage, and a disk drive with an X: price. $450 vs $600 isn’t nothing.
That was a big talking point a few years ago. Polling companies stubbornly held on to calling landlines for too long, but the only people who had landlines were not representative of the voting population.
They try to correct for things like age, income, race, etc, by weighting the answers to match the wider population, but it’s hard to correct for things like “stubbornly old-fashioned regardless of physical age.”
Falsification of business records is apparently a “trivial matter” to a certain kind of person with government contracts.
Requiring a login would probably cut off a significant portion of their audience and ad revenue. Only Google analysts know for sure, but if the eyeballs lost to cutting off casual visitors (sent to YT from links or embeds, etc) are greater than the losses due to, frankly, a small portion of users who would just end up blocking ads in other ways, it’s a net loss for Google.
A 2022 survey finds 7.1% of Americans identify as LGBT:

Also in 2022, Texas had 9.0% of the population of the USA.
That’s close enough that we can call being from Texas “abnormal” and start restricting all sort of rights.
Aren’t there only two companies making large-scale sports games these days? If it’s not EA, then it would basically have to be 2K.
I hear this. My life is survival mode. Games are for turning off that part of the brain for a little while.
I work from home and often go weeks at a time only communicating with coworkers over IM.
It’s pretty nice for an introvert, but also real easy to feel completely out of the loop.
In the setting under link handling, you can change the browser to “external” which uses your default.

It’s starting, for sure. Assuming it ever really stopped, that is.
There are certain talking heads on TV that can only be explained by the theory that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. He gets people talking, even if it’s usually only about how bad he is.
Outrage media works. Sports commentary especially seems to depend on it.
In your case, I’m guessing lots of people have heard the horror stories of shitty, scammy repair techs in various fields (automobiles being one prominent example). The good ones have to deal with the occupational reputation driven by the worst of them.
For me, I don’t consider myself a real expert in any specific subject, but I’m adjacent to a number of financial areas. I try not to delve into the weeds of those internet discussions too often (like I said, not an ironclad expert), and even when I do, it’s only to address the most egregious errors. Money can be an emotional topic, and many of those opinions are based on the way people want the world to be rather than the way it is, so show up with facts and references and they tend to understand.
It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?
