It’s difficult to follow. It’s like they are drunkenly telling their side of the story to someone who already knows what happened.

Is it like that? I remember this being an issue in the 1970s. Even crappy old places that I lived in as a student had balancers. I think they’ve been required here since the…90s?
This took me a minute. I can’t remember the last time I was someplace that didn’t have a balancing valve.
I never really thought about it, but 19th century novels etc just refer to “excellent” or “exceedingly keen” memory. Like it was part of the memory recall continuum. Eidetic and photographic make it a category difference, like it’s a different thing than the regular memory continuum.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats the greatest question that was ever asked on Ask Lemmy?English

We sometimes play a game around here where we’ll turn off the volume during a commercial and try to guess what they’re advertising. It’s harder than you might imagine for unfamiliar ads.

I think ads are super effective for some demographics. Children are probably the best target market. Teenagers, particularly those who seek external validation or align to external norms are a sweet spot. Old guys like me? No effect whatsoever.
