See, my problem is that it’s never 2 minutes.

I tell myself it is; I truly think it is. A half hour later…

…but did it not happen via purpose?

Honestly, all of the examples in your link sort of has me feeling it; it’s certainly not any less consistent.

https://furilabs.com/ may be of interest.

As I understand it, they’ve made a lot of their own improvements that improve the user experience.

That’s…honestly a fair point; a good chunk of why I never bothered with TikTok is it has some of the worst UX I’ve ever experienced in my life.

I remember really liking it, when I first saw it, but I was in high school, at the time.

It’s a film (like many at the time) that’s much more influenced by the impact of 9/11 than Asimov.

You’ll probably be entertained though (it’s certainly still a competently made film) so I’d say watch it; that way you can know what others are referring to and be in on the cultural zeitgeist.

Another platform will pop up over the next week if TikTok is banned.

Or an existing social media will try to take its place; Meta and Google have sites which imitate TikTok’s UI (at least, in part).

I don’t think it’s the only reason necessarily (and I’m inclined to agree your reasons are, at least, part of it) but I think the chance for U. S. companies to cannibalize TikTok’s market demographics is, also, a happy little coincidence of the consequences.

Usually, the brackets include a part of the sentence that wasn’t said but the interviewer believes the speaker meant or was implied.

In cases like this, maybe the speaker was speaking quickly (and, so, didn’t say the words during the interview) or were dropping implied parts is the sentence (like we all sometimes do when speaking casually; like if I say, “Quick thinking,” to someone. It’s implied that I was saying, “[That was] quick thinking”).

This also gets used often if the interviewee is talking about someone they know personally but we don’t so they’re usually just using the first name (e.g. “Yeah; me and [General] Howard [Zimmerman] go way back”).

Huh; any idea why that, of all things, would slow everything down?

It’s not clear from the screenshot but the advertisement used audio directly from his original video; that was his issue.

This; it’s only 3 months out of the year (well, at least the snow) and I like that there’s variety in my year.

Being an adult also means I get to choose when I go out, now, so the cold/snow bothers me even less.

But, like you said, I also live here because I like snow.

☝️; this.

Actually, Fury’s always been black in the Ultimate Marvel Universe; the character and the design was actually based on Jackson so casting him for the MCU probably was an obvious direction choice.

I also had my boss, when I worked in fast food, list this as one of the issues he had with the movie, when it came out (to quote him, “he’s a white character; no offense but that’s what he is,” which was particularly galling, given the aforementioned fact).

It’s O. K. to admit you didn’t understand something but it’s pretty evidently not saying nothing; I can use smaller words, if that’d help.

Funny; probably the opposite of yours.

Facing the toilet paper outward increases the chance that the paper rips with the roll being in such a position that the loose portion of the roll is lying exactly against the roll: I don’t want to have to spin the roll to be able to get to the loose bit. Having the loose bit closer to the wall – probably by virtue of being further away from the user – more often results in it being ripped such that a bit is hanging below the roll, making it easier to grab more often. It’s, in total, a much more consistently enjoyable user experience.

Also, less being constrained only to countable objects is an artificial and unintuitive definition. It’s not like further vs. farther, describing two distinct concepts which never overlap. Fewer is in reference to counting by individual elements so it wouldn’t make sense to apply to things which aren’t inherently segmented but it’s entirely possibly to measure less of the total of a segmented collection. To say less milk is to take a reduction of the total amount of milk available; this is perfectly feasible with a segmented collection, like cookies. To say less cookies is to take a reduction of the total amount of cookies, something fully measurable and actionable. It is merely that fewer is applicable to a subset of the things which less is applicable.

To argue otherwise is to try and create an artificial construction against the intuitive logic inherent in the natural construction.

I had not realized the latter was a hill I’d die on but, boy, will I, now.
