I have been studying way too much (I've already run through 3 pens on practice case studies) so all I have is my thoughts:
*The only place where I could find the same analogy is this medical paper but it's what was used in my textbooks.
I just learned Lancome is marketing La vie est Belle as an 'iconic' fragrance, which feels ridiculous for something so young that it's only been around as long as I've been paying closer attention to fashion things (like, six years?).
Actual review of this perfume I found online:
*I used to love the ad for Pink Princess so much that I actually cut it out of a magazine and stuck it on my wall right next to all the embarrassing anime posters.
Also, software that updates without your permission is infuriating.
^ I once studied so hard I literally puked.
Updates in general love to be the worst.
I will try not to get to that stage but I'm already deep into "every moment I'm not studying makes me feel like a giant slacker".

also, welcome back Stormtroper~
I don't think my business ethics textbook has it's priorities right when it comes to ethics.
Also I found out today that every take-out place not McDonalds or KFC here is literally the same place.
^^ And here I was thinking about the fact we only had one class worth of engineering ethics.
Also, I finally managed to get into my ISP account and turns out I have only 5GB worth of internetting per month.
Business ethics is a ridiculous amount of work. Almost all of which is "If there's profit to be made we will find a way to make it ethical."
Today's Spoils:
Also the book keeps saying "bribery is illegal in most jurisdictions" which like, I get, but it certainly sounds like "Sometimes bribery isn't even illegal!"
The strongest words it has against lobbying is that it is 'inappropriate', and that was only if we were talking about volatile foreign governments that might get uprooted by a coup or something so you don't get caught in the crossfire.
The most recent one right now seems to be this on page 2 and from like 8 days ago.
I'm not sure where this ranks as far as "overly specific interests" go.
Speaking of Elite. I liked the concept, then I discovered it was a murder show upon which I knew they'd hold the murder till the end of season 1 so that they could pull a "you have to renew us now!" type deal. As I watched it I went from liking it, thinking it was pretty okay, being confused, and then I just bailed because no matter how likeable Christian's actor is the whole show is basically a kind of annoying version of better teen dramas.
I'll stay subscribed but if I don't use it for three months I'll quit.
Let's notActually I do want to know why this is a thing. The dog one sort of makes sense (blowing off steam presumably and not like physically wanting to go out and murder all the dogs) but the rest are weird as heck.
You can see for yourself, but tl;dr: memeing about Grape-kun, the real-life penguin with a waifu.
It's probably gone now but it totally existed for some reason.
^ I take it, you published your first paper recently? If so, grats!
Also, forgot to post about this. I began working through The Elements of Computer Systems aka Nand2Tetris (tl;dr: build a (simulated) computer working up starting from nothing but Nand gates and ending with an operating system), it's doing a lot for me demystifying how computers actually work, something I've wanted to since little. I'm currently at the part I build the CPU, it's gotten quite hard but I'll keep at it, though I'm currently doing other stuff instead.
Also I wish I could watch videos, books/text pages are getting tiresome.
Also either Stefano's instagram was "hacked" or he was trying to do the thing from a few years ago where they were like "kids need moms which means literally all gay men and single dads deserve no families cause I say so" except this is World of Angry twitter now.
I mean like it's racist but everybody has sort of just forgotten about the time Gucci went to Japan in 2016 and assumed it was still 1970?
Gotta drive that engagement, after all.
Guys, I'm flattered, but -
Aw c'mon, it's not like it was MIT -
I'm b-but a simple researcher, that's all -
Stop it guys, I'm blushing!~~
STOP IT B-BAKA~~

I've been thinking about how my writing will (probably? hopefully?) get better and how I'll look back at what I've written so far and be like "What is wrong with you 14w? Why did you ever think these were words?"
But like, at least I'll be good then and so I won't care too much.
I don't know if Marvel Rising came out on purpose or nobody noticed that Action Dolls Were Not Selling and Marvel were like "yeah, let's do this". Like this isn't a personal thing, because even though I do prefer really dainty princess dolls I thought this stuff would do super well because millennial moms would go for it but they did not.
Like I don't know the specifics of Star Wars Forces of Destiny but everyone I hear talking about it says it did Really Badly.
I mean it probably doesn't help that a lot of these Marvel Rising dolls are basically Harley Quinn doll from the DC Super Hero Girls in that they have molded on tops or painted on clothing which means you can't change their outfits.
Actually though one line of "action dolls" that is doing really well is the WWE dolls, but that's probably because they're just regular fashion dolls with muscles (paging GMH). They still wear dresses and look super fashionable in what they wear otherwise...
And also they are WWE merchandise which basically turns whatever product is being sold into gold.
On the plus side, holy shit I have real internet now what the fuck guys. Granted, it wasn't cheap, but my family had the opportunity to get the job done by the company's technicians and they seized it. Also landline phone.
brb downloading the internet, it's like building a survivalist bunker but instead of hoarding food and candles you fill your disk drive with things.
(I'm actually of two minds about it, paying someone to do their job kind of sounds a lot like abetting corruption, though I can not deny I'm relieved).
Also I'm going to have to keep watch at night over that post (though of course I can't help it if thieves steal connected cables away from home).
Usually I would post about a dream in the dreams thread but this was sort of different. Unlike any 'real' dream, I dreamed that I was sitting at my computer some time before December 1st and browsing the new Bakugan website, which had been unveiled early.
I think I've mentioned before how much I love Bakugan, and I'm really excited for this reboot. I just hope the toys get here before Q2 2019 which is the official delivery date. Spin Master has said similar things about previous lines but they're almost always in stock at the places I get stuff least a month after America gets them. The American delivery date is Q1 2019.
Also I didn't know twitter had ads. They are possibly even worse than YouTube ads.
Anyhows, speaking of Reddit, even though I can revisit it now I don't think I will, I'll make use of the fact one of the subreddits I visited had a meltdown to let go of it, it's a nice timewaster but, well, it wastes time.
Also I'm stuck again watching over a relative's home.
