• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tobacco conference to weigh up stubbing out cigarette butts⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I recall hearing in a documentary that filters were just yet another PR scheme by Big Tobacco to make smoking more appealing when studies started to show up about the health effects of cigarettes.

  I don’t have a source in mind so don’t quote me on this, but I even seem to remember that those filters are designed to take a yellow/brownish colour when you smoke to make it look like they filter out all the nasty stuff that would otherwise end up in your body

  Really? Do you have more info on that, it’s the first time I’m hearing about it and I’m genuinely intrigued

  You’re right i don’t think it’s either, it looks more like some kind of feathered animal

  Not really the point. Opposing Israel’s genocide doesn’t mean we should excuse obvious antisemitism

  I usually struggle with just “going with the flow” and stop trying to minmax everything in videogames, but Crusader Kings is one of those few games where I manage to let go and enjoy the chaos.

  Explanation for the french one : onion is an old slang for anus. So “mind your own onions” is an old-fashioned way to day “mind your own ass”

  Why did you have to login in the first place? What’s an “Oral-B brushing experience”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS always annoys me.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I work for a retailer and have been loosely involved in a project like that a few years ago.

  Basically, it felt like it was mostly a very inexpensive way for the company to get everyone involved feel like they were making a good action. The free advertising was definitely an argument to get the higher-ups on board, but my impression was that it was kinda secondary compared to the kinda fake good conscience it gave everyone.

  There was definitely no tax breaks for that initiative though, so at least in my country that is indeed a myth

  Wait, when they say “Bob SquarePants” they mean it as an answer to that question? Honestly that seems a bit far fetch, you’re reading into the lyrics too much

  Ars Technica has always been very upfront about it whenever they cover news related to reddit. It’s certainly not ideal, but Ars Technica remains a very good website for tech news

  From the looks of it, what they’re calculating is a net promoter score. The idea is that, in some context, what you actually want to know is whether your target audience would be willing to actually promote your business to their friends and family or not.

  It’s very common in retail and other competitive markets, because a customer that had an “okay” experience could still go to a competitor, so only customers who had a great experience (7+ out of ten) are actually loyal, returning clients.

  Don’t know if that’s the best method to gather impressions on workplace environment though, I don’t think many people would consider their workplace “amazing”
