Bird in a Blender posted:Parents with kids, especially kids in that like 4-12 range love predictability. Kids can be serious picky eaters, so having something they know will please the kids is big. That and just the huge amount of people who are seriously scared of trying something new. My job has 75% travel. And most of the time I will try local places. Sometimes they are great, and sometimes the yelp reviews were bought. But after the third week in a row you just don't want to roll the dice some nights. So I'll hit up a Texas/Longhorn/Outback Steakhouse and get a steak that will be acceptable. It won't change my life, but even at it's worse it will be acceptable food.

Picnic Princess posted:Are these the three shades? Incredible. They really didn't do any market research at all. I'm not a big makeup person but even I know that Fenty Beauty and Jeffree Star are the top brands because they acknowledge people with brown and black skin exist and deserve makeup too. And you have stuff like the guy in the video applying makeup, taking a shower then applying makeup again. This whole thing reeks of some dudes who don't know poo poo about makeup deciding that they have a brilliant* marketing ploy and thus they don't need to know anything about makeup. *Not actually brilliant.

I suspect the papers will describe the beating Rihanna gives them as savage but well deserved.

CharlestheHammer posted:It aseems their problem should lie with only fans, because I don’t see how the changes impact or even stop what she did It doesn't stop her. It does stop the credit card company from dumping them. So credit card processing for adult stuff has very high fees. Around 4% for stuff like sites selling sex toys, to porn sites which can hit around 10% per transaction. Part of this is that lots of processing companies won't touch them, and part of it is a really high charge back rate. They likely have a fairly high charge back rate from dudes scamming already. But massive spike in the amount of dollars being charged back is going to be making alarm bells scream. So the processor will give them a choice of a bunch of restrictions or just dropping them. They took the restrictions.

mostlygray posted:That must be the worst one out there. It's really common for people to not understand the meaning of a song in marketing but that one is pissing on your face and telling you it's raining. I suspect the people who pick these songs are the kind of people who don't really listen to lyrics. Or they are the kind of people who think they are making a smug protest, not realizing everyone thinks they are a loving moron. Or they knew only one song about mining. But as bad as they went, there are some worse options like You'll Never Leave Harlen Alive. The "correct" song to choose probably was Coal Miner's Daughter.

At least most of the rest of these have ambiguous choruses or unclear lyrics; Sixteen Tons is VERY clear, both in diction and intention. The cherry on top of it is that the ad is announcing clean coal is coming. 16 years later and clean coal is still a myth.

Thanatosian posted:What I don't understand: UCSB is a public school; there should be an inspector general--or even the California AG--weighing in on this Generally code enforcement is civil until your gently caress up kills someone. Then it may still be civil. The AHJ for this can vary a bit. I know the Office of the State Fire Marshall does some code enforcement in CA. I imagine local code enforcement departments might review it during permitting. It's also possible the University system is exempted but I doubt it's likely. So the local building code office and the Fire Marshall is your best bet. I don't touch fire code very much, but NFRPA 101 does specify how many doors per people is required. 2 is the minimum. And the number goes up per X number of people. Someone here likely knows the fire code better and could say how many it is but it's more than 2.

Read After Burning posted:Wrong thread for it, but since it's been brought up...I was thinking of becoming a prison pen pal to a couple of non-violent offenders, like sex workers or drug dealers or whatever. I've worked with a group that would set up Amazon wishlist's for books for sex worker inmates. The universal response was joy. The majority reported it making them feel like they mattered. That they were people. The downside is that the rules for things like what books someone can get are completely and totally arbitrary to what the warden feels like on any given day. Amazon is pretty good at dealing with that but just be aware poo poo will bounce.

Read After Burning posted:Thank you, angel! I'll buy a couple of inmates some books per month. If you happen to know of any similar lists, but for music (I know some prisons allow inmates to have basic .mp3 players) or iTunes gift cards, let me know. SWOP's Behind Bars group is the only one I know of that assists inmates. It's not likely to be the only one, just the one I know. Most of the other groups of I know tend to be aid groups or mutual aid groups for sex workers who aren't incarcerated. Like a lot of professions sex work was hit hard by COVID. Some parts bounced back, like porn production. And strip clubs seem to be back. Most of the escorts I know of are saying business is still down. But all of those groups tend to have piss poor insurance. So COVID can be a nightmare.

The only people who want that are editors. Readers hate it because it's annoying. Writers and artists hate it because it tends to make scheduling a nightmare. Editors love it because they are dipshits. It's only those series being collected in trades that makes crossover stuff bearable.
