Why make the distinction? Exactly! They made no distinction, except for adding the token...

While my example was warning against cliche extremes, you point at the exact other end of tokenization that exists in droves in modern media. Vapid, stupid, uncreative, and pointless "representation" that does nothing but assuage the ignorant and inflame the opposition.

Damn I really want to see these tits, too, now... Is this the new Roko's basilisk!?

The law of large numbers eludes you, and that's sad and rather pathetic from my point of view.

Project Farm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vR15u0vmms in this case) is an excellent source of unbiased reviews.

He's not always the most in-depth, and his reviews can miss some important usability metrics, but he's excellent for showing his work. If you want good A/B reviews, I'd be hard pressed to not recommend him. Just mind that some of the items he shows aren't going to be as easy as they look to use.

(my opinion came from my experience, so I won't be shocked if his tests disagree, but he's still a good recommendation for a huge variety of goods) EG: Some of these glues really suck at adhering to certain surfaces, so it really can be a case by case basis as to which is absolutely best.

Yes, because idiots allowed vile malicious non-idiots to gain control of their "news" media and stock markets, so OFC that went down hill fast.

Again: It's all about preventing and removing idiots from power, not about trying to control the masses of idiots.

You control the up-stream. Fighting down-stream is just begging to be pissed on.

Like I said: humanity needs to learn to not give such people power and to remove power from such people, too.

Idiots exist with or without knowledge. What the world needs to learn is to not put idiots into positions of power, and to remove the ones that found their way into power.

In my experience, superglue sticks harder but it's super brittle and harder to set up a good bond. Gorilla glue is more flexible, so can be a tougher bond depending on the application. It's similar with some epoxies vs JB weld. JB weld has a bit of give to it, so it can end up significantly tougher than glass-like epoxies. There are also plenty of more flexible bonding agents, so which is best can really vary task to task.

It's not so much the rough surface that makes super glue work so well on skin (although of course rough surfaces make most all adhesives stick better). It's the abundance of water ions in your moist skin that readily kick off the polymerization process. That's why it seems instant on your fingers but takes minutes to start polymerizing on many other surface types.

This is how I view anyone still paying Netflix while constantly complaining about their "second screen" policy.

If you hate how shitty modern Netflix is, yet you still pay a subscription to them... YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM, FUCKFACE!!

Where the words come from. Remember: English is many languages in a trench coat, not really its own set of hard rules.

Hell, even languages with hard rules like Japanese have some exceptions even without the modern trend of borrowing words from other languages!

Looks like they're both thinking about 'em, but only one positively.
