Fuck. You’re probably right. It’s all about nudging us towards the behavior they want.

I had an S8 a couple years back and upgraded to an S10 when it first came out. The notification light went away and it was a huge bummer. I now have a Pixel 7 and it doesn’t have it either, so I’ve learned to live without it.

And as the coup de grâce, their name is LemmyKnowsBest.

Well yeah you can understand most stories without reading/hearing the first part and it’s not like Legend of Zelda is exactly Moby Dick.

That’s a 9/10 stick you got there buddy, would def take it hiking.

Maybe everyone’s a completionist and would rather play the games in order rather than jump into the story halfway through ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It probably isn’t. Which is such a shame because you’re gonna miss out on 40 episodes of legitimately some of the best TV ever made. But that makes the let-down so much worse when it comes.

The first 4 seasons of GOT are some of the best in TV history. Seasons 5-6 are good, but that’s when some of the tropes start to get overplayed and you see corners being cut. I should have stopped then, but I still had hope that they would rescue it. Nope.

0.007% guys, math checks out.

I’d do it too. Here I am working my ass off for the next 30 years to save maybe $1m for retirement and someone’s willing to just give it to me after 48hrs of suffering? No brainer. I’d ask questions about the plan to keep it safe of course, but if I was satisfied that they knew what they were doing, I’d do it no question. I’m surprised that most are saying no to this. I mean shit, at least try.

I’ve heard two theories for this that I think are plausible:

• A feeling of familiarity even though this is a brand new situation. Your brain is always trying to determine the best course of action from experiences where you’ve encountered that problem before. Sometimes we have a false positive where the situation is so similar you “remember it”, but it’s obviously slightly different and new.

• Essentially a memory read/write error. Your brain is recollecting as it’s consolidating the memory causing wonkiness (technical term) in your experience. You think you remember, but what you’re remembering is actually the present experience.

I still say “bless you”

That may also just be a resources issue. Too many tickets, not enough reps, and the expectation of low average handle time are not exactly conducive to encouraging those deeper dives.

This is a new interpretation for me. I always read it as resources for humans.

We wouldn’t have gotten this far if they weren’t good in execution. Ads may not work on you or many people in this thread, but it works on enough people to make this worth it.
