I love that there's a game on Steam called "everything" so Steam's Twitter has a tweet that says "Save 80% on everything" and they had to then clarify that they meant the game, not literally everything

A thing you use for 10 minutes should not last for 10,000 years. And the converse is true, too: things you want to use for years should not break in minutes. And all of it should be designed for graceful re-entry into the material stream.

Just had a bad case come down through the Danish consumer protection agency - a company offering short-term, high-interest loans was convicted of illegal marketing because they were basing their entire marketing effort on gambling site ads, directly feeding into the epicenter of gambling addictions.
