This noise scared the poo poo out of my dog. Now I know why she doesn't sleep at the bottom of the bed anymore.

Len posted:i'm like 90% positive it was on these forums i read someone saying they make female mmo characters because "if i'm going to be staring at an rear end for hundreds of hours it's going to be female" I heard that from het dudes all through college, so it was happening irl at least into the late aughts. Hell, the devs for Horizon Zero Dawn got a lot of pushback from the publisher because they thought dudes wouldn't want to play as a non-sexy female protagonist. And that started development in like 2013.

zedprime posted:I never understood the Aloy ugly thing. HZD is one of the games I've most caught my self lasciviously staring during debates on which armor to use. Granted I'm a straight gal, but I thought she was fairly attractive. By unsexy, I meant that her body type is realistic for a teenager, and they didn't stick her in boob armor. Most of the outfits are a version of "bulky furs/leather/ghillie suits" that could easily be unisex. (I actually quite liked the clothes, they did a good job of varying the designs based on location/culture.)

CommonShore posted:I've been bopping today around trying to find a piece of collaborative software for a certain task (basically I need like a whiteboard that people can log into without registering or installing stuff, even if I have to pay on my end) and someone suggested "Wrike" to me. I went and signed up for a free account, and they insisted on a phone number. Since this was a work thing and I figured it would be necessary if I decided to get a full subscription I bopped a phone number in there and went about checking the features. Reminds me of the company Dan Lyons worked for in Disrupted. If you sign up for their service, it pings the sales team every time you browse their site so that a sales rep can give you a call.

Plastik posted:There are aggregator services that will straight-up buy partially completed lead forms from you. I assume they hound your partial clients to the end of their days. I wonder if that's why I've been getting texts once a month from random numbers offering to buy my house. They always start with "Hi, sorry to text! I'm looking for the owner of [my address]. I pay in cash..." Like I'd prefer a spam call to a text I can immediately delete.

I'm apparently the only one in the world who prefers HFCS to cane sugar. I associate the taste of sugar with diet drinks because it tastes like aspartame. Arizona tea switched over to sugar briefly, and it sucked so much.

I mean, if I ate a pack of Equal and a pack of sugar, I'd be able to tell the difference, but in drinks they taste the same.

Captain Hygiene posted:It took me until I moved out to really develop a taste for interesting and exciting foods, everything we had at home was of the simple meat-and-potatoes variety. But it was more of the "salt is acceptable, maaaaaaybe use one grain of black pepper...but no more" variety of seasoning, I hadn't realized there was a big unseasoning tier below that. On the other hand, my husband grew up with actual spicy food and legitimately did not believe me when I told him people use black pepper to make things hotter. I had to pull up the Wiki page to prove it.

Breetai posted:YouTube 'personalities' who thanks to algorithm-driven recommendation weighting have preview images for every one of their videos set as near-identical shots of their faces, in close-up, with an expression of extreme goofy surprise. They are incapable of reacting to anything that they talk about or exhibit at anything less than 100db and maximum display of emotion and quirk.

Micky D's is apparently adding more chicken sandwiches, one of which is a blatant copy of Chick-fil-A, which is probably a great marketing move. quote:On Monday, the company announced three versions of a new chicken sandwich, which will be available nationally on February 24: The Crispy Chicken Sandwich, topped with pickles and served on a potato roll, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, which adds a spicy pepper sauce, and the Deluxe Chicken Sandwich, which comes with lettuce, tomatoes and mayo. McDonald's told investors in November to expect a new chicken sandwich this year.

Phanatic posted:I'm reminded of that Tropicana label disaster. I had to look this up because I'd completely forgotten about it in the last few years. I remember the packaging looking cheap, but I missed the awful new slogan. quote:Tropicana released a new advertising campaign along with its packaging strategy. The main message communicated in this campaign was “Squeeze, it’s a natural”.

RoboRodent posted:https://twitter.com/DeafmemesExe/status/1366197559715364868 lol I'm not even close to being fluent in ASL, and even I know that this is a disaster. Although the sign I learned had fingers curled towards each other, kind of like air quotes if they were, you know, loving. (Fun fact: The sign for "whore" is one set of finger quotes bouncing over every finger of your other hand. Basically, someone who fucks an unknown number of people.)

CJacobs posted:There's a pro-lifer ad on a billboard along the highway near my town that reads "IF UNBORN INFANTS COULD VOTE - THEY'D VOTE TRUMP" with a pic of a fetus to this day. I drove through rural Virginia a few years back for the eclipse, and hooo boy was that an interesting experience. I've been to NoVA plenty of times, and wasn't expecting southwestern VA to be that different. But all of a sudden there were billboards about how Obama is the Antichrist and Satan is watching you and Jesus would vote Republican, etc etc. Absolutely beautiful scenery though.

I have a friend who's a chef, and the advice he gave me was to order beef less well-done at cheap places and more well-done at upscale places*. Reason being, Applebees doesn't want to risk giving you salmonella, and the Michelin chef doesn't want to risk cooking the flavor out of the meat. *assuming you're not ordering rare to begin with

Anytime the phrase "culture fit" comes up, it's time to run for the hills. The only time I've ever seen it not be a dog-whistle is when I was interviewing for a company that was ~50% black employees, and it meant "are you a racist fucknut or not?"

I remember some company using Dust In The Wind to promote their new green car (Nissan Leaf maybe?) because it was so high tech that it left everyone in the dust. I'm convinced the execs who signed off on it got as far as the title and said "yeah, sounds good" because there's no way you could listen to even a few seconds of that song and think it's a crowd pleaser.
