News to me! I didn’t think we knew why it has any real effect on the body. I guess I’ll do some looking.

Magic is the technology we use to change our minds and perceptions with our thoughts. For example, the placebo effect.

Crazy take. The placebo effect isn’t magic. Science doesn’t understand it, it doesn’t make it magic.

Well, considering they’re primarily using RFID, there’s no paint that will help. Your tire pressure sensor is enough. The next generation of these “cameras” will just be a sensor on a stick.

I know it says a different team than cities skylines, but, I really wanted to love skylines 2 and it’s still sitting in my library, largely unplayed, and I would fire up the first one before 2. All that to say, I’m not super optimistic, I want to be, but, I’m tired of studios throwing out half baked garbage then moving on to the next.

Interestingly, in the medical field, I have seen a few headlines, but, I was talking to a guy who works for Mayo Clinic. His job is literally trying to quantify the effects AI is having with the doctors, and talking with him I said the same thing “at least it’s good for the medical field” and he replied with “who told you that? I would actually love to speak with them.” So, I’m not sure how effective it is in the medical field either.

I disagree. If I’m using a can and not wanting to get caught, I’m using subsonic, which, absolutely will not have the energy to do anything.

Even super sonic, you’re talking about a couple hundred yards, max. With the precision of shooting one projectile. Your shotgun is going to be just as dangerous, and shooting a spread. So, good luck not missing your target.

In case you’re curious, I used to run a gun store, and I was an infantryman, I’m not going to say I definitively have more experience than you, but, it’s likely. I know SWAT guys that carry .22 specially for shooting lights.(well cameras these days but they won’t say that)

As an athlete, not at a super high level, you function on such adrenaline so consistently, you know exactly what you’re doing. Especially if it isn’t a muscle memory response. Even during a trauma response when I broke my arm in multiple places.

Sure, some “flopping” might be trying to regain balance, but, I promise elite athletes know exactly what they’re doing.

Yeah, you’re not wrong I suppose. I have a sister in marketing and the budget does need to be bigger in that case, and like all companies, they want to squeeze where they can. With something as intangible as marketing, I can see where they’d be the first to get hit.

Though, my own, limited, experience with the marketing industry, it’s all about recognition, click through, and SEO, so, I see a world where it’s not particularly hard to cherry pick data and justify your existence.

Probably a little of both. At the end of the day, fuck ads. lol.

Not going to lie, marketing is one of those things that’s really hard to track. And or, a good marketing team is going to pull stats that mean nothing but sound impactful out of their ass.

I wouldn’t be shocked if, on average, companies could have a fraction of their marketing, however, the c-suite types, can take marketing mumbo jumbo and sell it to investors. A snake eating itself.
