you don’t see the ad and think “wow, that athlete is holding this one brand of cheese, I’m gonna buy it”

you mentally associate those two, and when you go to the supermarket, you see the brand and buy it out of instinct, since that brand gives you a good feeling subconsciously.

or if you ask yourself “I never bought parmesam cheese before, which brand is good? oh I’ve seen this one before, it must be good”

I’m not finding it now but there are some shorts where the guy gives a tong to teenagers and they don’t double clack.

also no double press on a drill.

this generation is lost man

at least in the government app you know they will not use dark patterns to make you feel miserable unless you pay. anybody that has paid for these apps know it is night and day, you get 2 matches in a week if you dont pay, or 100 in a hour if you pay

my quick reply would be Bernie Sanders

I mean, I read the response you replied to as “it not just biden, it is the system as a whole, and anyone that ever got close to being president”.

And I agree. every president you have, there is some unjust war you are involved. As americans get pissed with their president, the rest of the world just rolls their eyes and says “here they go again”.

genocides are gonna keep happening as long as you keep voting for these dumbasses in your primaries. And I can’t see the situation changing anytime soon.
