In 2020 Freakonomics did a dive into the effectiveness of adverts. Link below (transcripts too). There are sources listed and such. My tl;dr based on memory is that ads in general are not very cost effective for most companies. Ads are very cost effective for companies that sell ads though.

Damn a 100 cd changer then, mad respect

You idiots don’t have a 6 cd changer in your car? Pathetic!

I don’t really understand what you’re saying or which bit you’re responding to, both of what?

This isn’t at all to say her original stance was misguided. It is to say that she recognises genocide and ecocide come from the same root. Systems of power that destroy ecosystems also destroy people, also destroy planets, also destroy worlds. She is in many ways simply displaying a logical consistency, as much as a moral one, about the interconnected nature of the evils that plague our civilisation.

Being shitty is much easier and takes much less effort so it prevails wherever people don’t collectively resist it.

Depends on the context, but almost always a strawman imo.

Evil is simpler and easier to pull off than good (because you don’t have to value everyone in your equation), so “reasonable” compromises with evil compounded enough times leads to some pretty evil outcomes.

Why would I do this to me?!?!

I demand satisfaction, good sir!

I agree let’s bring back dueling for politicians

Indian food is really good in Britain

People who subjugate other people are terrified they might one day be subjegated.

my cousin’s cat catches lizards and iguanas, I can’t imagine he’d leave frogs off the list

Hmm I’m no ethics expert but I think you have to give that baby back Greenland. When this kind of thing happens I always try and fail to get in the mindset of the people who led to it. Someone flagged the case, discussed it with people, someone rubber stamped it.

Where you gunna sleep tonight?

Because kids don’t need proper nutrition when they’re sick, ideally only dirty salt water

Vigorous exfoliation I think, I don’t recall any texas chainsaw massacre elements
