I say “good luck” in a non-sarcastic tone to people whenever they head off on some banal errand. It gets some confused looks sometimes, laughs others.

That’s a lot of people, I doubt you have the stamina
This is my favourite too. I have a very sesquipedalian friend, and I had the honour of introducing him to the word.
Public consciousness has shifted dramatically over the last couple of decades… How would you demonstrate it?
So an oil spill also isn’t pollution?
It literally promises to generate content, but I think the implied promise is that it will replace parts of your workforce wholesale, with no drop in quality.
It’s that last bit that’s going to be where the drama happens
I don’t think I’ve come across anything like this, will have a look, thanks
Yeah, fair enough :(
Lolwut? Didn’t realise they were serving ads on maps too, that’s hectic
Or attribute based: furry, can fly, two eyes, scales, etc.

We had one guy (Ricky Muir) in Aus who kind of got in accidentally, due to a weird quirk of the voting system that has since been fixed. He was an uneducated bogan, who was mostly just interested in hotted up cars. But he actually took the position seriously and reached out to experts for advice on topics he didn’t know much about. I didn’t agree with his take on a few things (from memory, this was a decade or so ago, I’m an anti-car lefty), but he honestly seemed like he was doing a pretty good job. Way better than 90% of the rest of the more career politicians.
Most people aren’t that dumb, given the resources…
They have some really nice mountains! (The one they haven’t carved the to off)
I wouldn’t class that as advertising… That’s just product info, so you know what you’re buying.
There are undoubtedly people beginning to say the same thing about supermarket checkout attendants now. That doesn’t seem like a good thing to me.
Up voting for your last paragraph. Totally agree. Lobbyists only interested in corporate profit are evil.
Advertisers. For-profit advertisers mostly. They intentionally skew people’s understanding of the world for the benefit (usually) of the rich.
Wow, interesting. I can tolerate a bit of gore reading (I think I just zone out on the worst of it). I don’t enjoy it in film at all.
I generally avoid horror films. There’s one that has stuck with me horribly, and I wish I’d never seen it (The Ruins). Didn’t enjoy some parts of Annihilation either.
Possible I’ve just never read any really bad scenes though…
I mean, I guess you have the name for it
