    Neither, I'm afraid. Although I'd be tempted to say that in general, nobody's immune to propaganda, no matter how crude or unappealing the message seems to feel.

    No but that's the trick, you're trying to directly link an advert with a purchase when you might not even be aware of that link because it wouldn't be that explicit. Like I said, beyond the straightforward call to action that is more suited for online ads because you can immediately act (click) on ad banners, TV ads' goal seems to raise a general brand awareness that would play an indirect role in purchase motivation. It may not be the main factor, but the hope is that it's going to be enough to sway undecided people, just because they will have been familiarized with the brand earlier.

    There's nothing subliminal about it, but it does target the subconscient by simple image/sound association. Of course it doesn't work on everybody, but if it did work on you, you probably wouldn't know about it.

    I think you're trying to think about advertising in a direct suggestive manner, buy this, buy that. Sometimes they are this direct, but others are more subtle, trying to associate enjoyable sensory experience with their brand, in a bid you would associate these pleasing sensations later when exposed to the brand again and then motivate a purchase with the real psychological trigger being a step removed.

    You'd think that food commercials would be straightforward, right? Show food, elicit hunger, "buy my sandwich", ka-tching. But these ads are shown at any time of the day, to any people, satiated or not. So you can be more subtle in order to catch everyone. Sure, you're showing food, but what if you showed food in an unconventionally esthetically pleasing way? What if picture-perfect food was, bear with me, literally flying?

    Now that would be a sight to behold! Until the 3rd ad agency that ran the same idea because it's been working so well for their competitors, that is, but the deed is done. Food advertisement is now all about flying food, and not doing it would be considered marketing suicide.

    Is it really working? No way to know, advertisement for brick-and-mortar shops and restaurants doesn't have the luxury of linking ad views with purchases, no conversion ratio to be extracted from tracking data. It is a little scary, but you know what would be scarier? Not running these ads, because everybody else is doing it, and Marketing has a budget anyway, extorted from upper management through sweet-talking learned in the priciest business schools.

    Now, I don't know about you, but I'm clearly not neurotypical.

    How did your morning go? I had to explain to my 7-year-old kid the meaning of the word "transitivity" he stumbled on while flipping the pages of Bo Burnham's poetry book titled Egghead or, You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone.

    ♲ @sylvia_nyc@twitter.com: We are mostly taught about protest as being about convincing people in power to change their ideas, when it’s actually about convincing people in power that we can make them lose power. We are taught the former because it doesn’t work.

    This is true in its own right and sadly also applies to tech illiterate people in developed countries.

    ♲ @kofiemeritus@twitter.com: For many Facebook users in Africa, once the platform is "down", the assumption is that the entire internet is down. Majority of folks think Facebook is the internet. That's the problem when Facebook tries to "connect" the unconnected in developing countries.

    I'd say security and convenience, accessibility is a completely separate topic that has little to do with security.

    I tend to agree with you and I don't mind this hard separation for production, but for development? The downside of this separation is that even if I had the privileges to setup the permissions on the development environment, I wouldn't know how to do it off the bat because I've never been involved with setting them up in the first place. 🤷♂️

    Good short thread about how the labor market isn't and will never be free under capitalism. Employers hold all the cards and governments are eager to please them. Workers systematically get the short end of the stick for no good reason, even after a pandemic that decimated them.

    Not entirely stoked to discover Sendle, a shipping service piggy-backing on USPS but it won't give you the USPS tracking number if you're the recipient, substituting for their own tracking number you can only get delivery notifications for if you create an account with them. 😒

    My building's central air cooling feature has been turned off for winter season too soon and turned on too late for summer season relative to outside temperature, and we can't fully open the windows because of child safety locks.

    Moral: Don't have kids if you want to stay cool.
