The big five is pretty much the only version of this that's actually sort of kind of almost a real thing. Nobody likes being told they have high neuroticism though, so it's not ever a fun fad meme thing.
It would be nice, but they gotta eat.
Well, most dentists would recommend most toothpaste. They're a lot more concerned with making sure people are brushing regularly than they are with worrying about the brand of toothpaste they use.
That kinda means the exceptions are weird and highly dependent on the dentist and toothpaste brand involved. Maybe they think it's overpriced, maybe they think it's less effective, maybe they have ethical concerns about the parent corporation (looking at you, Crest), maybe they're super picky about what they recommend, maybe they've never heard of the brand before, maybe they just got lousy swag from the company rep and they're being petty. It could be all kinds of things, and the ads certainly won't tell you what they are.
Sony released a more realistic looking big budget Overwatch clone. It was fine, but nobody cared, because nobody wants a $40 live service Overwatch clone where all the characters have similar silhouettes. They spent 8 years making an okay game for nobody. If they'd done something different with the same basic characters and gunplay it could have maybe been good. They didn't though, so estimates suggested they sold about 25,000 copies worldwide before pulling it from their store and refunding everyone.
There's also the pesky detail that if minerals in the soil are taken up into plants, and plants are then eaten by animals, then animals need to go back into the soil we grow our crops in or the the soils get depleted of minerals. That's why most salt is iodized, because we've leached all the iodine out of our croplands and never put it back. There is only so much fossil fertilizer in the world. Eventually we are going to have to accept that we are part of nature instead of separate beings above it and doing things to it. Factory farming sucks and needs to end, but we can't "Just fucking leave animals in peace." we are not separate from them. They are us and we are them.
I mean, I prefer the real thing to childhood funtime genocide play, but I guess that is a pretty common modern use for the term cowboy.
Plus if we use the actual historical meaning I can point out that most cowboys were Mexican, which is always a good time.
Amazon is super evil, but it mostly comes from the way they treat their employees and sellers. The customer service is... okayish, mostly. They certainly have problems there as well, but it's not the real issue.
I don't care. They could put Jimmy Carter on the ballot and I'd vote for him, and honestly he'd probably be a better pick than anyone they actually would consider. This is going to be a stupid mess, just to most likely get the person who would have become president if something happened to Biden anyway at the top of the ticket. Just a bunch of panicked stupidity, because apparently they just figured out that the 82 year old is old this month.
Why? Now the Democrats are going to start tearing each other apart and in the end they'll pick someone even worse and now we're even more likely to end up with Trump winning. The only people who ever had a problem with Biden being old were the people who had already made up their minds.
"!" in math is the factorial symbol, and 2 factorial is just 2 times 1, which is 2.
Not a guarantee, no. A very, very strong predictor though. You have to have some kind of evidence beyond just vibes to start making claims that this time is totally different from all the others before anyone should take you seriously.
I thought the box was too small for him, but he proved me wrong.
There are much less expensive ways of suing someone than just flying there and staying until the lawsuit is done. They're still not cheap, but that's a pretty absurd way of doing it.
Forced arbitration is also complete bullshit. The fact that corporations are starting to realize it's almost as bad for them as it is for us doesn't make it any less bullshit.
