Because it's not just about money, that's why you hear about the number of copies sold more than gross revenue, it represents number of interested people that can buy another product at X dollars. Every now and then exec put up big sales, pump the numbers up before the big reports.
That's also why Nintendo games neeever go on sale.
Just today i got a "Your number has been added to google meets!" with no way to backout or cancel. Not even the double "are you sure" from when you decline windows 11 upgrade. It added it to some random account i'm signed into atm and nobody has hours to go through their convoluted menus to fucking turn it off or erase it.
Thats not counting all the other shit we get like the constant popups for premium or incessant backup harassment.
Time for a new phone (I know graphene but due for a new phone and not buying google).
if you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment

You yearn for what could have been, and it's hard to accept what is. If there is really no benefit, you should remove your estimate of them at least partially. You will always miss "having parents", which isn't the same as missing "your parents". Making that distinction might help.
I heard of all the other one's (from the news) except the space X one. You are in this meme
I recommend getting 2 buddies from the get go
In front of congress, while they have a standing ovation.
All these stories coming out about big crimes from the rich are awfully well timed. If I wanted a one time pass for something, I'd want to get convicted while there's an easy to bribe cheeto king at the helm of the US.
This is nothing new, people expect religion not to be part of the "professional" environment. Dunno if VS code applies.
At the office (big corp) they don't call it the "Christmas Party", it's "the holiday party". They put lights and stuff up but no more Christmas trees/stars etc.. not everyone celebrates christmas so that's fine by me. If Microsoft wants to put a little santa hat on their product that's fine by me too. If I was using some service based in Mexico and they put a little hat on a product for cinco de mayo i wouldn't care. Christmas has other implications so it might be different, dunno
See youre conflating 2 things again, assuming everyone's mad probably.
All those stats are correct, so how could it possibly be that I would say such lies? I must be wrong, how weird.
You're forgetting there are other people in this thread, and someone did misquote it in their argument. Talk about retcon, which you spend 0 minutes explaining but made up half your earlier argument.
The numbers aren't even important. This is not a first time cancer breakthrough, this is a HPV awareness article with a sensationalized title. Nobody was arguing the numbers.
Big businesses know, they even ask people like me to add extra measures in place. I like to call it the concorde effect. Youre trying to make a plane that can shove air out of the way faster than it wants to move, and this takes an enormous amount of energy that isn't worth the time save, or the cost. Even if you have higher airspeed when it works, if your plane doesn't make it to destination it isn't "faster".
We hear a lot about the downsides of AI, except that doesn't fit the big corpo narrative and people don't care enough really. If youre just a consumer who has no idea how this really works, the investments companiess make into shoving it everywhere makes it seem like it's not a problem and it looks like there's only AI hype and no party poopers.
All this relies on retcon, which makes no sense. Easy to just say it in your corner though. I did read the article, but that doesn't fit your narrative. You also had to add that i'm "mad" so it spins your way, when it's others having to attack me direcly instead of making points. Nothing about my comment implies i'm mad except you spinning it that way.
Youre defending people who are saying the article says 94% of these can be avoided, when the article says 94% of cancers occur in those countries.please
Edit: *94% of cancer deaths, wouldn't wanna "retcon my whole argument". This is a bad title for a different problem. We haven't even started with it "being the first time". Youre trying to convince us other people are mad too, go figure.
Within "cervical cancer" theres are many types, in case you didn't know, bruh.
People who get "lung cancer" can get various forms. The article isn't taking about eliminating cervical cancer entirely, not even the one caused by HPV.
Which if you hadnt read, the article is arguing these deaths are mostly preventable in poorer countries as HPV has had a long awareness (and effective) campaign already, it's not even primarily about cancer. The headline sucks.
Imo that only feels good when it's someone who actively causes harm with their stupidy and they finally get justice. In this case I consider it to be more sad than anything else; it's a function of his upbringing, not who he is.
I do understand that this helps eliminate some of the variants. That's not what the headline is saying.
Why not make it an article about HPV that would help with cervical cancer instead of a cancer article about HPV? Because clicks. It still wouldn't eliminate 94, or 99% of cervical cancers, only HPV ones.. Eliminate HPV doesn't sound as good, we can't even eliminate measles.
It says 94% of cancers occur in those countries. That's a far cry from what youre implying.
Edit: I wouldn't call bitching about cancer titles being blown of out proportion "contrarian" either
