If nothing else, because corporations use it incredibly effectively to tailor behavior manipulation to you personally.

The arm and ball were moving forward before it came out. It wasn't even all that close. You review it 1000 times and 0 of them are a fumble. The ball has to be loose on the backswing to be a fumble. Any forward motion at all with the ball not clearly loose makes it a pass.

You can't hit a QB in the head. You especially can't hit a QB only in the head.

Cameras are different. Professional stuff is built to last forever and can be really good value.

I wouldn't take a used tablet or laptop for free, though. It's genuinely worth nothing to me.

That was incomplete.

But it was also definitely roughing.

Ignore everything you already paid.

10 million for next year would be a criminal overpay for Kirk Cousins, and that's what the roster bonus they're saving is.

Depends what it is. I'll buy used books all day, but there's almost no level of savings where I'd buy most used electronics.

They're a mess for everyone, and there is very little correlation between reviews and actual quality. There is not statistical value to using them.

More importantly, the confidence in any prediction you make using them is damn near zero. They absolutely should not be able to fire anyone with reviews being a factor in any way.

I'm sure that would probably be smarter.

That's sunk cost.

He wasn't benched because they like Penix. He was benched because he sucks.

No, there is not. A license is just a contract.

Buying a company because they have a license you want is not remotely unusual. It's perfectly standard behavior, and the entire enterprise world would fall apart if an acquisition lost the rights to licenses the purchased business owned.

I won't debate this point either way. There are definitely ranges to quality, and I haven't see bona fide research on the impact of factory farming and limited strains vs whatever else.

Also, processed doesn't automatically mean unhealthy. It more just enables incredibly unhealthy things to be done either as preservatives or to cut costs

But the biggest impact on health is from the ready, cheap availability of low quality, high calorie food that is actively optimized for overconsumption, and the fact that frozen prepared foods (and fast food) that are affordable are generally not very healthy because of cost cutting. So that's the best point of emphasis to be healthier.

Yeah, that's basically what I'm saying.

I didn't make the argument about the value of subsidies because the actual details of how they encourage domestic farming is above my pay grade, but subsidizing then taxing the specific use that's damaging is way more "removing the active incentive to do harmful stuff" than it is [whatever his argument is?].
