Ooooo, didn't realize that Epcot was supposed to be a showroom of sorts as well. Just that it was Walt's version of Hershey, PA but with futuretopia as the aesthetic instead of Benevolent Protestant Father Figure Playhouse. Boooo, private? What's the point then? You already had a report feature.

Because now they can just say that they've hidden some replies because they aren't marked as popular by the people you follow/based on your own down votes on the app. Instead of getting rid of the white supremacists that are being reported, they'll just keep them off your home page so you won't report them. The system works!

And I just remembered that, per the terms of a settlement with the SEC, Musk is supposed to get all his tweets approved by a Tesla lawyer before making them. That's very obviously not happening, and the SEC has so far failed to successfully enforce it in court (though it appears that the SEC still hasn't given up hope on that), but it's still funny to think about the CEO of Tesla running his Hitler meme tweets past a company lawyer.

Same for my kid who doesn't like pickles and ketchup on his burgers. McDonalds has sucked at customization since my youth, which was in the 1970s. They're set up for mass production, and anything else is out of their training and expectations. That's why Burger King had "Have it Your Way" as a slogan for awhile: because they can do customization, and McD's really can't.

For posterity sake, the bottom text of the Hitler meme was "I had a budget." I'm not surprised he tweeted a Hitler meme. I'm surprised he deleted it. I was gonna crack a joke about how nobody needed to bother screenshotting it.

That's why Burger King had "Have it Your Way" as a slogan for awhile: because they can do customization, and McD's really can't. That's how it's designed to work and how they measure productivity. I've worked for a lot of sign companies and print shops who want to streamline every order but still allow for total customization and exceptions to every single product they offer that they gently caress up every time. No matter what company I work for, they seem to think it's all easy, efficient and streamlined but every order has some exception that you'll miss unless you are looking for it. It's kind of an ongoing battle really. The companies want the optimization and speed of an assembly line but assembly lines don't really work if every third or fourth order only gets ONE widget. The only company I can think of that really gets it right is Jimmy Johns because, god drat, are you ever in and out of that place in a loving shot since they only offer like 10 or 15 menu items, max, with minimal variables while charging an awful lot for food that must be really cheap to make.

This is why places like Chipotle overtook competitors like California tortilla. Ostensibly they're both the same model, fast casual texmex style food, but everyone knows Chipotle and you can expect to find them about as often as you find a starbucks. Why? Chipotle: 4 stations with 4 options or so each plus one last question on if you want extra quac. Cali tortilla: 30+ Menu items, full host of toppings, fillings, etc, add ons, and a wall of hot sauces with a goddamned index so you can find what you want or learn about just what "Lenny's Larynx Evicerator" is made from. Extremely limited customization is far better than giving people 400+ options when really, 80% of your customers are going to order the same few menu items anyway.

Its the paradox of choice. the only except is that one place that makes it a marketing point that they have like several million ways to serve hashbrowns. Which works because its a diner biz and most people dont just order haskbrowns, and the options are bunch of sides/condiment-likes.

There was a place at a mall I went to that was called the Cajun Cafe, had absolutely zero Cajun food on the menu but it had stuff like sausage slices tossed in SYSCO General Tso's sauce and other things like that, your generic chinese buffet food but labeled "cajun". You'd pick one side + 2 entrees or 2 sides + 4 entrees with a slight discount as a "bundle". There were maybe 10 or 12 options total and to this day it is the fastest fast food I've ever been to. Point at Rice, point at spicy barbecue beef, point at garlic sesame chicken, it all goes into a Styrofoam takeout container with a fork stabbed through. Pay with card, in and out in no time flat. There was a chain Chinese place right next door to it in the food court that closed and reopened as a pizza place because they couldn't compete with Cajun Cafe

Back when I worked at GameStop, a guy came in and told us he was opening a place called Uberrito in the same shopping center and invited us over to get a free meal a few days before opening. He touted how much better they were than Chipotle, how they have a million more options, including queso! (This was before Chipotle had queso.) So I stopped in on my way home after work. I wasn't gonna pass up free food. I even got the queso. It all sucked. I never went in as a paying customer. I just checked and they don't have any locations in my state anymore.

Choice overload! The performing arts company I work for is dead set on algorithmically funneling subscribers into historically undersold performances (e.g., Wednesday evenings, or the second week of performances, etc), so along with basic options like being "see all six performances or mix and match three/four" they launch every season with a bunch of weird pre-set packages where you can see three shows on the eighth super worm moon or whatever. This never works but they keep increasing it and our last brochure had like five pages of information dedicated just to these dumb packages.

https://hitechglitz.com/ford-patents-an-auto-sensor-to-scan-roadside-billboards-and-send-ads-straight-to-dashboards/ Ford patents an auto sensor to scan roadside billboards and send ads straight to dashboards The patent is likely to raise the eyebrows of road safety experts as 3,142 people were killed in distracted driving in the United States in 2019, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Not sure about the source though but seems like a matter of time before this is standard
