Am I the only person who just buys whatever's cheapest/on sale? And before you can say it: LOL if you don't have Enrique clip the coupons for you.

All I know for sure is, in Culinary school I had to learn how to make gold leaf so that it's both appealing and edible, because some people are so loving enamored with themselves that they have to EAT gold for their jollies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R_483zeVF8 I am so sick of the "overprotective dad micromanaging his daughter's relationships" trope. I mean Kevin Hart does as best as he can with the material but it seems very dated.

Everyone I've seen posting about it has hated it except for moms. It's probably gonna be like that camel who yells about hump day - everyone who works in an office is going to be sick of hearing it in six months.

Colonial Williamsburg made a bad Super Bowl ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbdHv28tWJs Uses footage of 9/11? Check. Doesn't actually show anything about their product? Check.

joshtothemaxx posted:Colonial Williamsburg made a bad Super Bowl ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbdHv28tWJs To be fair, it's a museum, apparently. I was prepared to laugh pretty hard if Colonial Williamsburg was a hot sauce brand or something claiming credit for all of America's successes. Kind of disappointing that it's more or less appropriate. Still a dumb move in marketing though, for the lack of info and using 9/11, which is just asking to be mauled.

I am torn between being glad something like Colonial Williamsburg has made it as a thing that can buy a Superbowl ad, but the last time I visited it was also kind of the Rich White People of Virginia museum so trying to say the ideals of America started here is kind of disingenuous. Or maybe just more accurate than I'd like to admit.

Colonial Williamsburg is like one of those "historical artifact" towns right? Where the whole place is basically a museum and there's a bunch of period-costumed people walking around?

I'm pretty jazzed that a museum can get that type of attention, but I'm not too keen on a place spending that kind of fliff right after firing a bunch of people.

Yes. White bread and full of schoolchildren. They did a mock slave auction once back in 1994.

The absolute worst Super Bowl marketing thing is when people who can't actually afford a Super Bowl ad and have no chance in hell of getting the ad spot try and spin their rejected ad as "BANNED SUPER BOWL AD THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE!!!" on the internet.

Sentient Data posted:On the same general topic, don't forget that even basic subscription-based tools can also be bought out. Lastpass was sold a little while ago, and the downtime that happened recently pushed me over the edge - multiple hours of downtime at their datacenter, and not a single peep from them until after it was fixed. I've been using last pass for years. What other concerns do you have about them? I didn't know about the buyout, so clearly I'm not as well informed. What good secure alternatives are there?

Is it common for people in America to watch Super Bowl just for the ads? A friend told me she was doing that, and it baffled me. I'm not American, but I know crazy amounts of money are spent on Ada for that match.

Just stopped by to mention I don't watch the super bowl for the ads or the game. I just watched it at a brewery but all I wanted was a beer. Anyway, this place's calendar shows that they also will play the democratic debates on the big projector too. Now that would be fun to watch drunk at a bar!

So how can that Colonial Williamsburg ad show Obama (or Reagan)? Did they ask for permission and pay for that? Does the money go to him personally or to the treasury?

Doctor Malaver posted:So how can that Colonial Williamsburg ad show Obama (or Reagan)? Did they ask for permission and pay for that? Does the money go to him personally or to the treasury? Government footage is often public domain. Also it's a museum so they know how to find archival footage they don't have to pay for. What gets me about the 9/11 footage in that ad is that it's so out of place. The narrator speaking over it awkwardly performs a poorly written line and it doesn't mesh with anything else that the ad is going for. CW has been trying to get better about showing that black people existed and maybe didn't have it great, especially in the last 20 years (though the plantation they had to educate on slavery got shut down because it was bleeding money) but like 75% of the visitors are old white people or school kids so that colours what they show. (the other 25% are kids from the college down the street who are cutting across it to get somewhere)

Lastpass was bought out by LogMeIn in October 2015. LogMeIn has a... spotty reputation among IT professionals, for constantly moving around licensing tiers, shutting down their free service despite reassurances that it would stay available, their service's widespread use among scammers and steep pricing, among other things. Trusting your passwords to a company with a spotty reputation is a bad idea, for obvious reasons. Personally, the unease about the takeover and other general annoyance over how their app functions on Android has made me dump them and just go with the built-in password vault in Chrome. I know it's technically less secure, but I'm not in the habit of letting other people use my account unsupervised, anyway. For more advanced alternatives, you have 1Password, which is a cloud solution like LastPass. If you don't mind tinkering, KeePass is free and multiplatform, but requires a bit of setup.

Cross-posting from Corporate Complaining thread... We've been using webex at work for a long time but if we were looking for such software today I believe this ad would have a negative effect.
