For some reason I haven't been able to figure out, why I can't see the latest posts from [email protected] .

I've tried to make it work but It doesn't seem to want to 'play nice' with lemmy.world accounts.

I can only see an image called Creative Juices that was posted 22 days ago, here.

Do you use one or more towels or washcloths?

Do you get worried that you might have dried your face with the same side you dried your butt with?

HEADON! APPLY DIRECTLY TO YOUR FORHEAD!

Man, those obnoxious TV advertisements can all fuck right on. It was even worse that it was a homeopathic (aka placebo effect) topical product.

Wait that's a thing? In TV broadcasting?

I've heard of how Comcast Did New York state dirty many years ago. IIRC, they walked away with nearly half a billion dollars, which I believe was about 2/3 of all the money the state had given them to connect small towns and clusters of rural communities to DSL internet.>

A beefy handlebar for a beetle's motorcycle.

I think most of us have learned that there are places and things that an electric vehicle is better at than a gas powered vehicle and vice versa.

That being said, it would be interesting to see an electric truck... preferably not the Cybertruck, make the same trek.

I have a major curiosity about how this actually happened. I've watched a video or two about it but it still baffles me to this day that SOOOOO many people bought it as a x-mas present for their kid(s).

I've wanted to learn a couple of things about this.

A. What did the parents think of their kids asking for such a stupid present?

B. What did the parents who refused to purchase a Pet Rock, have to deal with at home, when their kid(s) were informed that they were not getting one ever?

C. (On the flip side of B.) What did the parents of those who did purchase them notice or deal with at home?

D. What psychological reasoning would anyone have to desire to purchase a Pet Rock, instead of making their own?

E. What psychological marketing/influencing was involved in this scheme?

I get not having profit. I get not having income, if it’s in some prototype phase. But having no plan or idea whatsoever for how to monetize and still getting VC? Wild.

It's called "growth-first" or "growth-at-all-costs" strategy. I don't recall what video I was watching when I learned it, but it's a dying strategy for business now (IIRC). It had its rise in popularity in the late 2000s to about 2018. Think Netflix, WeWork, Uber, etc. These are huge businesses to prop up, so they (literally) bank on the idea that with a huge user base, they can sooner or later, make a profit to make it worth all of the risk.

I feel like one of the tags should be emotional damage.
