I mean, some people like it and some people even love it, but lots of people also think it's bloody awful, and awful on many different levels too.

Not trying to be a downer, just saying that this is kinda stretching the definition of "real life application of game skills" for me. More like "applying a board game skill to a different kind of game"

It's basically a Weception at this point

"What Tim Cook Needs To Do Now To Save Apple"

That kind of thing, right? It's so cringey.

My wife and I ave different native languages yet we can speak to it, combining both languages in a single inquiry/conversation and it replies to me in my language and to her in hers.

Ingenious stuff, whatever people think of the privacy issues.

All of these niggles and considerations disappear if the meeting is more private than just standing by desks in an open room

With "all" as your default page, it was literally full of it, maybe your top two pages just entirely anti-Pao memes etc.

The difference was so stark it was hard to believe I was even using the same Reddit as these people

I think there might be a lot of confirmation bias going on

A lot of the "overhopped" stuff is actually macro beer disguised as craft beer.

If you don't like it then that's fine of course, but I think it's hard to deny the amount of creativity and innovation that goes into making a really good beer.

China doesn't have to do that.

There is certainly "fake" craft beer, made by the macro beverage companies that is designed to basically trick people into shelling out more because they believe they are buying into some premium category. It's classic aspirational stuff all built around marketing.

But then... well, there's all the REAL craft beer, which is (for want of a better word) crafted, made with care, creativity and in an environment of independence and experimentation. This stuff is genuinely good, or can be (sometimes experiments fail and this is fine), and like indie movements in music, art and literature deserves to be celebrated as an authentic expression of human endeavor.

So don't buy Goose, buy Revolution. Don't buy Elysian, buy New Glory. Go see what your local brewery is making. Better still, make some yourself and see how you like it.

Don't order "$25 signature burgers" from those places with all the trappings of the hipster movement but are actually owned by investment banks, order them from your local places that're actually doing it for themselves. It's not that hard to tell the difference usually.

I guess I agree with the article in the final analysis because I hate to see big companies ripping the genuine creativity out of grassroots/artisanal scenes and turning it into a shadow of itself for profit.

As for your second point, you might be right. It's not EVERY point of market share, but it must still be a significant number that is wrested from Uber with great difficulty.

Er, do you mean you walk and game at the same time? Coz I am constantly walking around people like you and tutting if that's the case

Taking photos of yourself, on the other hand, just seems to me to be grossly narcissistic. Like, why have thousands of photos of yourself in your phone? Super weird IMO
