I work for a large company that runs multiple services used by millions of people. Over the years, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern: management, business teams, and SEO teams keep pushing changes that make our websites more annoying to use, just for the sake of getting more page views and generating more ad revenue. I’ve tried to talk them out of some of these decisions, but I’ve never had much success.
Perhaps it’s not that big of a deal and I should just ignore it, but honestly it is a bit disheartening when I open random website on the internet, see some dark patterns, think to myself 'what a fucking dogshit website this is', and then I go to work and I code literally the same things, like I’m on the dark side of the Force or smth.
It's not AI slop, I tried and no AI is able to do this on its own. Seems to be pure talent of the designers.

Scene from Witcher s04e08
I found him kinda annoying at first but eventually realized not everyone has to be likable and it serves a purpose in the story. Dialogues were well-written and actor Harry McEcntire did a great job on him. I liked the fact that like Janos Slynt from GoT he didn't have much of an arc despite appearing in multiple seasons and died while still being despicable man.
High Septon in that new Targaryen tv series said dragons are profane magic. But do you really need magic to fly and breath fire?
>!And then live there together with my son, instead of having dead son. Surely Nacho would eventually explain to his father it was the only option other than getting shot in the desert!<
Empty flat area, weapons of their choosing, no armor
>!No armor only because afaik Leo never uses armor and Achilles always does so it would make the fight kinda unfair!<
