- Comment on So bad it was actually entertaining 4 weeks ago:
I regularly go to a Vietnamese restaurant with work colleagues not only because the food is great, but the entertainment value of the owner berating you for not eating the expensive vegetables or calling you an idiot because you ordered the small drink despite the small price difference is just hilarious. You can tell he isn’t faking it too, the guy really just can’t keep it in. We love it, but I’ve met plenty of people who vowed to never return after the experience.

While that may be your sentiment, it seems that for many people, especially in countries like China, having more smart features is a positive selling point.

You can get a legit Windows 11 key for like 5 bucks, no reason not to install it honestly. Even if only for dual booting, it can save you a lot of headaches.

So your point is that it’s difficult to resist the urge to buy sugared drinks due to distinct factors such as lack of information about it being unhealthy (which I seriously doubt nowadays) and people being psychologically manipulated through advertisements and making their product economically competitive. I agree some of these factors make it easier to be unhealthy, but I disagree that it’s enough to say people don’t have and make a choice. The choice to be healthy is just a harder one to make than it should.

How is choosing to buy a sugared drink instead of water the same as playing a game of chess against a grandmaster? What exactly about it makes your analogy fit?
- Comment on Here as well 11 months ago:
Agree it’s a disease, but it’s also a choice. You choose to buy a big gulp when you crave it.

Bro, sorry to say this, but you should think a bit about what the actual point is the person you’re replying to is trying to make, and reconsider whether you really are that much smarter than everyone else.

They probably do in “Manage preferences”. Stuff you can give to an intern to accomplish has never been a deterrent.

I also couldn’t find a concrete definition in the article, but judging from its use, I would assume it’s describing regular use outside of controlled clinical settings.

- Comment on As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲 1 year ago:
They bring something to the table: the app. It’s a lot of work to build an app, and takes a lot of time and knowledge. It’s perfectly okay to monetize your work. If you don’t like it, why not build one yourself? The servers are there, and they are free. So is the documentation, and the protocols.
