I believe this to be true because she is a terrible actress, and 'The Runner' was a terrible, terrible movie.

But 'Runner', while not great, was entertaining and a good viewing experience.

In the long run acclimatising us to humongous phones with this false image of holdable-ness enables more phone snatching and falling out of pockets and smashing, which means we all buy more new phones.

We would never know

....the sale of coffees and English breakfasts around the Newport Passport Office area.

Because there is no way it takes exactly 4 hours to print a passport

I noticed this at my local gas station but it's true on retailers online as well. The regular Twix here is 3.02 oz for $2.78, or $0.92 an ounce. The Halloween one is 2.12 oz for $2.50, which comes out to $1.18 an ounce.

they prepare everything in advance and look deep in thought while it's not their turn.

they write and memorize all the things they're gonna say about their opponent and just throw it in whenever they feel like it.

Why does planets orbit around stars? So called "Scientists" will say it's gravity, but no such thing exist. The real reason is that they are friends!! Glaxies too, they are just huge friend groups.

Try it yourself, if you have friends, don't you wanna be close to them? Maybe not all the time, but that explains elliptical orbits!

Search results are getting worse; it’s not just me? I mean I’m having to go through multiple pages when before what I wanted was often on the front page. I also mean that often I give up after 5 pages of results and see what Gemini said. I think they’re actively making search worse to make Gemini look better. It might just be there isn’t enough compute to do both and search is suffering. 🤷

He was caught going to or participating in a ping-pong show...you know the ones i mean.

So he released a hit with the same name to hide leaks of the truth getting out.

i’d go so far as to say the same applies for women’s weight too. so many people are just out here stretching the truth by 1-2 inches or 10-15 pounds and it’s artificially inflating everyone’s standards. it’s a big old cycle

I said what I said. It worked on me.

Watching season 11 of love is blind now, not even past episode one and there’s been multiple mentions and conversations specifically about loving Taylor swift and her songwriting etc.

She’s been declining in public opinion a little for a while now, and she’s attempting to get relevant and remind the public they love her via a very popular tv show

There is absolutely no practical way of eating a hard shell taco without it falling apart and ruining your clothes and the contents including salsa, guac and sour cream are specifically designed to stain clothing

Little ad spent 10% of their initial proceeds buying their first customer's product, "Just look at last quarter's growth, Zug!"

Think about your average dollar store: Very messy, disorganized, bad-bargain, the items are already bad-quality anyways, etc

Now think about Daiso's presentation: Clean, upscale, cutesy, also typically found in most urban commercial shopping centers, you name it

While Daiso is not a dollar store in the strict traditional sense, it is in the same umbrella of stores known as variety stores.

By remaining the good-bargain store it is, Daiso can allow for a better retail ecosystem to flourish around low income and working class neighborhoods so that people can have a more upscale shopping experience while trust in dollar stores can actually increase rather than decline.

Kind of a best-of-both-worlds strategy.

Posts on reddit, instagram, blablabla ofc are all paid ads. 99% of them.

but science too. it s just a paid ad. “pay these scientists to say we are good”.

everything is. i bet you, reader, are also a paid ad. aren’t you, stinky liar?

there is always somebody behind trying to make money.

cause everything human gets corrupted by wealth.

i am cleaning my ass now and wondering: “what is this toilet paper trying to sell me?” or better, “why dont i clean myself with water? ah, right, water is free, that’s why.”

I'm an older Gen Z, and people around my age always viewed M&S as an old stuffy expensive shop for pensioners. In the past few months, however, there's been an uptick in social media posts about some new amazing M&S product, or how M&S isn't actually as expensive as you think it is, guys. Open a UK Reddit posts about groceries, someone's shilling M&S in the top comments. Open Twitter, some guy in his 20s talking about their new pizza with 4k likes. Open Tiktok, someone's doing an M&S haul.

I know so many people who have started doing parts of their shopping at M&S recently. Maybe a year ago, I didn't know anyone who shopped there.

I also think there's a class thing going on here. A lot of their produce is on similar pricing to the other supermarkets, but they still benefit from having a slightly elevated expensive image. This means your average Joe and Jane feels a bit better about themselves when they do a shopping there, compared to Tesco or Morrisons where they could get the same stuff for maybe £4 cheaper.

Not a huge issue in the grand scheme of things, but I don't like how insidious this kind of marketing feels. I've told people that I think this and they've looked at me like I've grown two heads - as if they're saying 'not me, I could never be manipulated by algorithms'.

Sometimes your doctor schedules a test that has to be done in a hospital and they make you starve yourself for like twelve hours first.

The conspiracy is that it's not medically necessary to fast before some of those tests but they require it anyway just to get better sales in the cafeteria or coffee shop.
