The same could be said for anything, really.

I remember when phones used to be good. Now it’s all

• We have important information about your car’s warranty.
• Here’s information on new solar panel installation that doesn’t work with your home / location.
• You’ve been selected to answer a quick 15 question survey.

I remember when mail used to be good. Now it’s all

• I’m a disgraced Nigerian prince and I need your help to protect my multi-million dollar fortune.
• Here’s all the important sales WalMart is having this week! Don’t miss out!
• Here’s your electricity bill that you’re enrolled in auto-pay for. No action is needed on your part, but we’re sending you this 12-page summary anyway.

Maybe it’s a magnetic field or some such that reflects the attack, but it’s powered by a capacitor and discharges as soon as you raise the shield. Best explanation I’ve got.

I believe this is a YouTube feature that effectively runs A/B tests on your behalf. You give it multiple titles and thumbnails and it’ll gauge engagement with each and then use the one that was most popular. I hate it.

Look, it’ll even out to 2000 calories per day over a long enough period, okay? We can drop 14k in one meal as long as we don’t eat for a week afterwards. Trust me.

Aww, man - I’d forgotten about Empire Earth, that game was absolutely the shit at the time. Wish it’d gotten more attention and credit.

I did computer repair for quite a few years after high school, then worked in IT at a game company, and currently work in the software testing industry, so… yes! Hah

Lan parties were basically the highlight of my highschool career. I learned how to set up and configure complex networks just so I could be ‘that guy’ that knew how to fix problems at lan parties.
