I think questions with “how”, " why", “where” etc. tend to be open. An example for a closed question would be: “Do you use apps to learn a new language?”
Maybe you could argue about “what” and “who” questions, but I prefer uninteresting questions to be filtered out by votes instead of rules, anyway, so I don’t care.
Also, even a “bad” question can be saved by a good answer, e.g. a report on language learning apps.
Astarion has the stride of a gazelle. A beautiful beautiful gazelle person.
I’m trying to come up with a dialogue that follows these rules, but it gets weird fast.
You ghoulishly sloush around the aisles, avoiding eye contact at all cost, but still a customer talks to you:
C: “Hi, excuse me. I’m looking for tomatoes.”
You: “We are out for today.”
C: “Oh, that’s unfortunate.”
You: “” (still avoiding eye contact)
C: “Well, how about I come back tomorrow?”
You: “There will be a new shipment of tomatoes by tomorrow.”
C: “Okay, great! Then I just come back tomorrow?”
You: “If you come back tomorrow, there will be a new shipment of tomatoes.”
C: “Are you alright?”
Avoiding eye contact, you silently slither away.
I haven’t read your post, but you are obviously wrong!
Basically I see two options:
This works for advertisers and based on your “profile” you are strongly influenced by the ads shown to you. So might just as well give your data to Meta and Google, who already sell profiled (and not individualised) ads.
This doesn’t work for advertisers and you are not strongly influence by the ads shown to you. So the advertisers could just as well put a link somewhere and hope it is found by their target audience.
Also I don’t my browser, my OS or any other core component on my system to be in bed with people who are trying to extract as much money as possible from me.
There are radio stations, financed through ads. And they check if people are listening by calling random persons to ask them what station they are listening to.
So this is a viable business model and nobody is stopping anybody from putting plain pictures and links on sites and just estimate the page visits, but online advertisers want to know more. They always want more.
At the same time, a browser is the essential software to browse the web. So this is as if your TV was like:
Yo, many people mute their TV during commercials and don’t pay attention, which kills the poor networks. So I made a deal with advertisers and will check what your doing, while I provide unmutable ads , but don’t worry, your privacy is very important to us and we only care about providing to you the best TV experience possible.
Thank you for being genuinely interested in the opinion of others and for explaining culture differences.
An API that unlocks DLC? That sounds like… wait what community is this? (looks around)
Is that a wooden IP address? Nice eye patch by the way. Cheers matey!

Pretty cool move. If I come across one of his games that interests me, I’ll gladly buy it.
Judge all you want girl! This is still better than making out on a bare fucking rock!
