  • That’s not how it works. Or, rather, that’s not only how it works. Sure, advertisers dream of users who see an ad once and run to buy a product. But ad effects are spread over time. They build brand recognition. They fake familiarity. Say you are in a supermarket and you want to buy a new type of product that you haven’t bought before. Very likely you’ll pick something familiar-sounding, which you heard in an ad. Ads pollute the mind even if the most obvious effects are, well, obvious and easily discarded, more subtle influence remains.



  • Gutting defeated/ousted manager’s projects is an obligatory and unavoidable ritual in corporate environment. Competent or convenient employees are pulled into other teams, pesky/unconvenient ICs are fired since everything can be pinned on the loser. Projects are often dismantled - even profitable ones to remove any possible foothold for a comeback. Shit, now I want to write a corpo book but styled like high school biology textbook.













  • Frieren is just so awkward, first she looks at Flamme and then squats to copy her.

    Honestly Richter just gave them a good advice. Also note the shape of his “too complex” spell.

    But she planned to hurt you without killing you.

    We call it a reward over here.

    Denken "I wanted to visit a grave"

    Lied as naturally as he breathed.

    Compare the complexity of Frieren’s spell to Richter’s.

    Denken never misses an opportunity to advance his cause by holding Richter.

    Their nod/smile to each other after both pass is so cute.

    I liked everything in this episode except for Serie’s male voice which I hated. She deserves better.
