oh i know how this works and its not the way you think. Its somehow better and worse at the same time

Im going to describe the process using a hypothetical situation:

You decide to try a new shampoo but you’re not sure what to buy. You ask your friend “hey what shampoo do you use” and they tell you they use Head and Shoulders.

Later that night, you google head and shoulders and read reviews

The next day, your friend gets Head and Shoulders ads on youtube and facebook and Instagram, etc

This is because google knows both of your locations and search history. It sees that you two were within a few feet of each for hours and decides to shoot ads at you both, based on what either of you have searched recently.

This is called proximity targetted advertising and i think its gross.

But this is why so many people say things like “we were talking about it and now im seeing ads they must be spying on me”

Alright fine ill switch browsers AGAIN

the median household income in America has increased $6,000 since 1990

If this was adjusted for inflation, this increase would be $115,000

if only there was a simple easy solution

#WhatDidTimTakeFromYou

that is not what i thought the hashtag/pound was used for

open invitation if you ever want to :)

id happily play with you. my favorite franchise.

The co-op is silent. no chat, no text. You communicate via animations and gestures

you use an item to let people know youre interested in playing together, and if another player walks by the spot, they can see and interact with your “sign” and summon you to their game

my sentiment remains, even if the specifics are inaccurate

don’t be silly

it’ll get appealed and fought over and over until it’s down to 600 million

they’ll pay back 300 and we wont hear anything else about it for years until someone mentions Clarence Thomas getting a new 300 million dollar golden calf statue around the same time

oh if you think i am defending cops then i have failed terribly at communicating the sarcasm and disdain in my tone lemme try again

OH NOES

PUBWIC OFFICIAWS NAMES AND UNIT NUMBERS ARE PUBWIC KNOWEDGE?

I HOPE NOWOBODY USES THIS INFOWO TO DO CWIMES! nyaaa! :3

listen bro i cant just sit here and name every multiplayer game from 2005

i played socom on psp and i was convinced this was the future, peak gaming

also lemme know if you need another handful of tired adult stoners who dick around with roguelikes

(idk what an FG is…fighting game? like mortal Kombat and street fighter?)

We are stuck on Forza right now but 3 of us have adhd so it wont be l9ng before we get bored and move to another game

that’s actually a really good point too

im pretty close to your age and even i will admit that a good single player game hits better than any multiplayer arena shooter out there

But there’s a few “silent co-op” games i really enjoy. Games where i can join a stranger, help them with a quest or boss and then leave. Im the oldest of 3 and i miss beating levels for my little brothers. Elden Ring, Dark Souls , Nioh, Monster Hunter, these all scratch the itch pretty well

When many people hear “multiplayer videogame” they think mmos or cod/quake/Unreal tournament clones

i would never start playing multiplayer halo if it came out today. But theres still LOTS of multiplayer games out there that i find very appealing.

its crazy that they pay this man 88k a year and all he does is run over minorities and look stupid

I will NEVER condone vigilantism or street justice, because its a slippery slope into chaos as people start taking matter into their own hands, possibly harming innocent people just on suspicion of guilt

Unrelated:

heres his full name, birth year, badge number, every unit he’s been in, his date of hire, every write up hes had since 2011, and his current salary

that sounds like older millennials to me, tbh

younger millennials grew up on multiplayer and online games, which were widespread and extremely normalized by the time we were old enough

remember, the youngest millenials were 4 to 6 years old in 2000 and the mid 2000s was the big multiplayer boom for the industry

Halo, COD, Gears of War, Counter Strike: Source, Garrysmod, Minecraft, Trackmania, Everquest, World of Warcraft, Left4Dead, Diablo 2, all of these games came out while we were 6 to 14 years old

that was a great summary, thank you

trying to research such a broad topic was overwhelming

dont forget the trickster god character who shows up to teach Picard valuable lessons a few times a season

you know, Loki

i mean Mxyptlk

i mean Hermes

i mean Anansi

damn what was his name? Omnipotent, sows chaos, acts as an on again off again antogonist, can warp reality to his will, teleport and shapeshift…

Bugs Bunny

i crave decisiveness like that. it would make me so happy if that sort of behavior became the norm.

too many corpos getting away with murder because they are more convenient than their competitors or because switching is too hard

hello, i have chosen to value your opinion above my own based on very shaky reasoning i will not be sharing

I abandoned chrome for being too RAM-hungry when im playing games w the browser open

i abandoned Internet Explorer for being too slow

and i abandoned firefox for being too bloated and sluggish, but that was like 2010 and things change

im currently using Opera but why do you choose firefox over its contemporaries?
