You're getting sandwiches for commenting?? ~/s~

What if it was the cops' boss, moonlighting as a pizza shop boss and ultimately as an inept robber?

Would taking notes from some dogs and rolling in foul stuff count?

Why limit your imagining to products alone? Even in that reply I'm not specifying person or thing (despite the use of "it"), and with the original question I'm asking either marketing oneself or something.

The internet has been carefully curated [...]

You mean the fuckin' corporate internet? 😜

[–] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Yes but also markets in general, because why not?

No no, if they could hire you for that you'd be marketable, but if you actively liked the product and kept talking them up only to make them uncool and refused being paid to or paid to stop, maybe? 🤔

I would think like however ungovernable is meant but directed toward businesses and markets.

I guess that may look like disregard for contracts, refusing to sell to businesses, applying for jobs only to string businesses along or ghost them like they have so many, or things like this?

Asking to see how people interpret and run with the idea, what they consider unmarketable and the ways to achieve it

As in you can't market it because it wouldn't sell regardless of how you may try.

 

Thinking about the fun "become ungovernable" memes, and how "become unmarketable" would potentially be even more fitting in corporate dominated societies.

May be too specific but have been inconsistently trying to get !likethismaylike@lemm.ee going as a community to find alternatives/similar stuff to what one likes.

It's a riff on the old ifyoulikeblank subreddit without the initially unclear tagging requirements.

People comment, which is great, but few other posters.

 

Platform: PlayStation 1
Genre: Arcade shooter?
Estimated years of release: 1997-1999
Graphics/art style: I think it was 3D, third-person? Not sure as I don't recall seeing many screenshots/images from the game.
Notable characters: n/a
Notable gameplay mechanics: something to do with a timebomb/time pressure to get through levels/stages.

Other details: I don't remember all the details, as I found it when looking through a video game shop site's lists, but I remember it wasn't Descent Maximum as I had that at the time.

It seemed almost like the idea was similar to the escape sequences from that but a whole game built around that time pressure.

Thank you, I will always accept a trebuchet

What's the thing?

 

Context:
Thinking about in some stories/shows where they deliver messages attached to arrows and wondering what a non-threatening method might look like.

 

It seems a little odd that other crops have been cultivated to literally suit people's tastes and interests, yet many trees...Seemingly not as much?

I recognize the growth cycles are much longer, in some(many?) cases far exceeding individual human lives, but whole civilizations have been relying on trees for ages. Have none, not even isolated parts of them, been stable enough to take on this experiment?

 

Adjusted question to specify desktop.

 

Also how did you come to learn how to snap your fingers?

 

Wouldn't leasing or renting be more accurate depending on what's involved and the circumstances?

 

Regardless of how silly the word may seem, please share it! Maybe they can make their way into people's vocab!
