Yeah, they have some kind of formula that looks a bit like this… Something weird, something quasi-sexual, and actual products all mixed in together.
I get ones that always have something that looks like (but on closer inspection isn’t) sex toys or BDSM clothing or nudity. Stuff like that.
But I have to say, it definitely works on me, I’m like wtf is that, and then spend a good 30s decoding what it must mean.
The racist ai we made is racist.
Seeing musk, trump and a Tesla in a single shot just makes that toxic association so much stronger. I don’t think this is going to play out like they hope.
Plus, you know the boycott is working, talk about desperate.
Sync for Lemmy is a good app’ if anyone is looking for RIF like experience. Sync
The lengths we go to hand medical cannabis to the pharma industry…
I mean it’s a plant. Throw some seeds in a pot of soil. Done.
Parents should say no, and now this will make it easier for them to do so :)
The advertising standards authority use a nutritional profiling model. If the food is High in Fat, Sodium, Suger (HFSS) it gets a higher score. Some points are deducted if it is high in fruit, veg or nuts. If the food is above a certain point threshold different advertising rules apply.
This applies to preprocessed food. Not ingredients you would use to prepare your own food.
I don’t know about your other questions but some of the other rules are interesting…
You can’t use licensed characters or celebrities to advertise to under 16s.
You can’t condone or promote unhealthy lifestyle or eating habits. Ie. Eating a massive bucket of ice cream in front of the playstation.
You must not take advantage of a child’s vulnerability by appealing to emotions such as pity, fear, or self-confidence, or by Suggesting that having the advertised product somehow confers superiority, for example making a child more confident, clever, popular, or successful.
You must not present your price in a way that suggests children or their families can easily afford it. “Only”. “just”. Etc

And shame on business insider to down play it as someone complaining they’re not ‘cute’ enough.
This is not gonna be the vote winner they think it is. And fuck them for trying.
This article covers a bit of the background.
Do you mind? I’m trying to be righteously infuriated over here.
The feedback loop is positive? I’ve not read that anywhere, are you sure? There’s a number of tipping points, some which we may have passed already but I don’t think there are any beyond the ability of mankind to counter by simply reducing emissions. Seeing as we’re the greatest contributor to greenhouse gases by a mile.
Technical artist for real-time. Mainly vr. 9/10. I think it’s the most interesting job in the world, where art and tech meet, my two favourite things. Plus I get to work from home on cool stuff, and the turnover of new projects several times a year keeps it fresh. I think the worst part of the job is that it’s a bit niche so you can’t really talk about your work with anyone out of the industry. There’s no frame of reference. My friends and family don’t really know what I do.
This is what diplomacy with a narcissist looks like, and everyone is doing it. Trump whisperers are in hot demand.
The bit I find funny is trump is so dense he doesn’t even realise he’s being spoken to and manipulated like you would a child. In this case for a good cause, so well done Rutte.
