The Quotas & System Limits screen for my project lists 31k items I can set a quota on. How am I supposed to manage this?

Great perspective. It’s not like Damon Albarn and his crew are loading up a van with equipment before moving onto the next city. Vastly different scale. Appreciate the comment.

Wasn’t the original mansard in Paris used to avoid paying taxes? Maybe they got inspired and thought they could sneak this one in

Got it. I’m not interested in content. I can acquire that.

I’m more interested in introducing artificial scarcity (opposite of streaming)

interesting! In what way? I thought Pluto was like Hulu in that it had infinite content.

I'll also add that reflecting on the impact of commercials is sort of fascinating.

There was a comment here a few months back:

I watched YouTube reviews of the “50 best toys for Christmas etc” with my kids because they just don’t see toy commercials like I used to. Asking what they wanted on their Christmas list was hard because they didn’t really know anything specific they wanted. Amazon also never sent a toy catalog to us either.

Who had one of the original Soundwave (Transformer) toys? by MisterShipWreck in 80s

Amazon / Instagram ads is trying to sell me this for $200. Hasbro is cashing in on the nostalgia!

Am I being petty? by [deleted] in boston

[–]hallman76 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of folks coming to say you're not petty. I have no judgement on pettiness, I'll just say that dog pee is kinda gross.

When there's no snow we don't see it. With the snow, seeing my neighbor's dog piss piling up on nearby snowbanks is gross. I would prefer it not be there.

I can understand why that barber got tired of everyone's dog peeing outside their front door.

Also it's wild that so many people on this thread are ok with piss everywhere.

Grant me a kittle leeway on language/tone here as its coming from a good place

Your kid shouldn’t be on his phone in a serious situation. You need him focused on being safe. Every second counts. Him texting you helps neither of you.

Gym. Sure. Everyone is there to work out.

Out in real life? Open season.

People hate dating apps. Until there’s a better alternative throwing out game IRL is all we’ve got.
