Comment "Her"? (Score 5, Interesting) 588

What is it with 3rd-person pronouns in clickbait headlines these days?

- "She totally did a thing, now you totally want to click, right?"
- "What he did next will make you click!"
- "Five cocktails and seven martinis get her through brunch!"

At the risk of sounding ancient; who's "she", the cat's mother?

I mean, good manners don't cost nuffin' now, do they?

Remember, apple isn't a technology company, they're a luxury brand marketing company.

How does tripe like this get modded "Insightful"?

Apple make good things. Apple are good at marketing those things. One does not preclude the other, you know. It's entirely possible to make good things and be able to have a team of people devise a really good marketing strategy for them too.

You can even have those people in the same building at the same time, if you like. It's amazing, but you can have different "departments" within the same campus, with teams of people taking care of different parts of the business.

But I guess this doesn't satisfy our outlet for tribalism when it comes to technology. Or sports teams. Or car brands. Or your favourite fucking brand of socks.

a chance to share an experience and bring people together who care about the same things

Hey, kind of like human society in general.

Saying that, this is certainly not how I experienced television when I used to watch it. Interactions went a little more like...

"Hey, did you see the thing?"
"No, I was not interested to see the thing."
"THEN WE HAVE NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT >:|"

... you still have to answer two important questions.
1. Is a warmer planet bad?
2. Can government do something without destroying the economy

One of those questions is more important than the other.

I think a better question view would be: "Do we have another Earth with which to re-run the experiment?"
