what if when you were being shown an advertisement you get a "fast lane" if you answer a question about the product to have the ad end faster? that way consumers can get to their experience faster and the brands can get valuable marketing data. IE, instead of showing the same ad twice, you're shown it once, and then next time it comes up instead of seeing it again you're given a question like, "Have you bought *PRODUCT NAME* in the last two weeks?" or "How do you rate this advertisement on a scale of 1-5?" then you can make it easy to engage with (one button press, instead of a press and a confirmation). we of course want them to have some time to engage with the poll, but we don't want them to just instinctively click on a button, so there will be a 1 second window after selecting an option for them to change their mind before the ad ends. so the engagement windows are just like the community posts, the consumer sees a chance to express an opinion and then the brands get to get valuable marketing data. it's a win for everybody! :) we will also want to measure engagement patterns with this. if it decreases engagement, we can make the prompts simpler, but if it maintains or increases engagement, we can make the ad experiences more involved or delay the "skip survey" option. we want the consumer to have a positive experience with the concept, so, we will start pretty generous and unintrusive so that the consumer will look forward to these surveys. i don't know how advertisements actually work i have been running adblocker for years i'm just guessing

    they're also perpendicular to the positive real numbers

    almost as if they're exactly between both the positive and real numbers

    yes. also asking not to get upbears also gets more upbears. if you're trying to get 0 upbears it's probably best to not ask for upbears or no upbears.

    it's actually a lie, i don't want any upbears. i'm doing an A B test to see what gets fewer upbears, a post asking for upbears or one asking specifically not to get upbears.

    I SWEAR TO GOD. I AM NOT INFLATING THE AMOUNT OF 20S. THIS IS THE THIRD 20 I ROLLED.

    Guard: "Why, of course, Gobby the Goblin! You can use the pissing area that's helpfully marked."

    You dig up 10 ounces of perfectly intact saltpeter.

    you rolled an 8, so, the mixture does not come together to form black powder. why would it? it would've only worked on 20s and only because 20s have the ability to warp space and time.

    anyways, you have a foul concoction in the ye flask.

    You walk up to the lady at the dennis and ask her if they have any brimstone.

    Given that you just rolled a 20, she said that she just has some that you can have (it's stinky and she doesn't want it).

    +3 Chunks of Brimstone

    You exit the dennis and head back to the castle.

    you approach the weiner drawing, but there's two guards patrolling the area.

    you... fucking hell. you roll a 20.

    I'M NOT KIDDING. I WANTED TO KEEP THIS RELATIVELY GROUNDED. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO JUST MAKE GOBLIN NOISES AND GET KICKED OUT OF THE DENNIS.

    okay you're a goblin now. i know that technically there isn't a 5% chance of manifesting goblinhood but, fine, whatever, we're a goblin now.

    status: +is a goblin

    +2 atk, -2hp

    +1 shenanigans (schemes, chicanery, hijinx etc. become more effective)

    there's no statue, but you're close enough to the castle and that's kind of close enough to a statue. you use your dung ball to draw a small weiner on the side of the building.

    -1 small dung ball

    i posted in badposting that i met a femboy who wants to be referred with a different pronoun/identifier and always in quotes but y'know in every piece of art there's a nugget of truth. anyways i did meet a femboy (which is ofc a term they prefer) a couple days ago who does prefer rotating any pronouns (but doesn't need a GUID for pronouns) and hanging out with him has been a really good push for my mental health and trying to be more well put together. I've been working on that for a while now so it's not entirely because of her influence, but she's definitely been a big help by just being around. Also, first meeting him was like, kinda absurd how well we got along, they share my music and hobby tastes to such a degree it felt like they fuckin' searched me up on LinkedIn to learn my tastes. I've done reflection on my youth and came to the conclusion that my mom *killed* my enthusiasm for fashion and to some extent self-care. I've always had good self esteem, so, it wasn't that bad, but still. She had good intentions, trying to get me a nice large closet full of options and stuff, but never really let me choose what I want. If I wanted something even kinda feminine, she'd turn it down and filled my closet with stuff I didn't like, brand-names and gaudy boyish graphics. For some period, I tried "rebelling" by just getting clothes I know she *didn't* like, intentionally bad looking stuff that doesn't work together, just to try and exert some kind of control, but eventually, just kinda gave up on fashion and looking nice at all. I've just had a lot of executive dysfunction regarding my wardrobe, but the local femboy definitely inspired me to actually give a shit again. He looked really good in the pictures they sent to me (i won't go into any more details ![volcel-police](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/82cd0401-45d3-4874-ac57-4ca28e2a7cea.png "emoji volcel-police") have mercy on me plz ![bottom-speak](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/bd0e03e9-ee78-47b7-9296-af78f9158ce9.png "emoji bottom-speak")). Anyways, i've been feeling really good the past few days and have been making substantial changes to my schedule and getting out of the funk I've been in for the past bit. I've been exercising and cleaning and doing tedious stuff. It was *mostly* me and using what I've learned from therapy and properly leveraging my ADHD medication, but human connection is always good :3. The moral of the story is, put yourself out there and make some friends. And also I'm excited because yay new friend :D

    "her" preference is that every time I refer to "them" not only am I supposed to swap "his" pronouns but I also have to put anything in reference to "xer" in quotes. I'm also not allowed to use the same pronoun or identifier after using it once, so I need more. Thanks in advance

    what if i gooned just one more time last year? would the disturbances in the air particles have caused enough of a ripple effect to have altered the course of the bullet enough that Trump would've been hit with a lethal bullet? The past is constant, but the future is an ever shifting amalgamation of possibilities. We can only ever know the outcome of our actions after they happen. Having gooned exactly 25 times last year (once every other tuesday, but i missed a day). if I stuck to my schedule rigorously, what world would we be living in? If Trump died, would that mean that I goon fewer times (i get into political arguments and might lose focus), or would I goon more times (goon for freedom from the cheeto)? i will never know for sure what that reality would have looked like.
