My theory is it was an extension of the fish eye lenses use in music videos. Back then they were pretty ubiquitous and carried a certain’We’re bad-ass’ connotation, and for a music album cover, this was the type of one frame that could capture the essence of that.

This will need management and legislation to not turn the world into bad place.
I think this is the key piece. Management and Legislative bodies don’t currently care one whit about people. They only care about money and power so dystopia really seems like the path we’re on.
It will take a massive shift or some major cataclysmic revolutions to change that path.
So… you write it down to forget it. Seems effective to remove distractions. Less effective to actually remember it, if it’s actually important.
Long term, it’s not going to create a two tier system. It’s going to drain limited resources from the public system until it fails, and then all we have left is profit driven healthcare that provides worse care than what we were getting for everyone except the richest.
The problem the becomes are the bad or missed calls because they are human, or because the fix is in? That same worry happens with VAR. But it’s reviewable and so bad calls are more easily noticed, and identifying trends is easier.
Publishing the post sure.
But propagating notification alerts to followers isn’t reliably that fast.
Having a paid queue to be alerted first makes sense technically.
Huge ethical issues though. This is clearly just corruption. Pay me money and you’ll get insider trading information that won’t actually be called that.
Our system is not set up for anything other than to make the richest people richer, by exploiting the labour of the rest of the people.
Our real system, the closed system known as planet Earth is not set up for endless growth of a human economy. All populations go through growth and crash cycles. The longer we push off the decline, the harder the crash will be.
People need to give up on the idea that the replacement rate needs to be met all the time, everywhere.
It is ok, and natural for populations to decrease intermittently.
We have too many people. We can’t find affordable homes for the people we do have. We can’t meet the energy demands of the people today, without borrowing from the well-being of our planet’s future.
People are correctly looking around at the world and deciding they don’t need to be bringing more people into this world as it currently stands.
Time lost during goal celebrations, injuries or flopping, and VAR reviews. There was a fair amount of wasted time during the 10 minutes of original stoppage time, so not surprised it went longer, but this game seemed excessive. Im guessing a polymarket bet on the refs behalf.
Half kidding.
I think the education is a symptom of a deeper problem still, and that is corporate entities owning significant parts of the governing process, through lobbying, campaign financing and a rotating door of government positions and coproate advisers.
They want an uneducated population, because that is how they get a greater and greater share of the say in what the government does each election cycle. Getting Citizens United through was one of the worst they accomplished in recent years, but it won’t end there.
