Not sure what "grow" means here exactly. But yes, the earth's mass will increase.

YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

This should be the top comment. Corporations should not be allowed to play the game of 'let's see how long we can get away with this'.

While it is no secret that exploitative practices are interlaced with capitalistic tendencies, the practices are becoming intolerable. Signing up to pay usually takes only two clicks that are prominently visible whereas cancelation options are hidden away in deep settings requiring multiple clicks. Pricing often feel arbitrary with no reference points. Every large company grows with the intention of exhibiting monopolistic behavior. This is not sustainable and should not be tolerated.

What's a entertainment franchise (movies, games, etc) that has been milked but still puts out good products? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Totally agree! I When people mention Andor I immediately think of the monologues rather than any of the action sequences. I think that tells how good the writing was.

Sri Lanka ends visas for hundreds of thousands of Russians staying there to avoid war in c/world@lemmy.world

Yeah I understand. I got upset with few comments that were praising Sri Lanka. I just wanted to remind people that Sri Lanka has its skeletons too. Hidden away in mass graves.

After all Sri Lanka does have previous experience with committing genocide and getting away with it.

The lethal doses of 55 substances in c/coolguides@lemmy.ca

This is a very very cool graphic. Really highlights that MSG is needlessly antagonized. Also so weird to see sarin and nicotine next to each other.

Marketing is a bitch.

Don't know that it counts as cooking but I made a giant bowl of chickpea salad with carrots and green onion with a rice vinagrette in c/veganhomecooks@lemmy.world

Looks appetizing! Do you saute them? I think this might taste great with some black pepper and cilantro on top!

That is interesting. Who do you suppose Theoden and Saruman are, in this context?

No no I was making a joke. It was just in bad taste.

Prisoner's dilemma is a problem commonly featured in game theory. Each player is given an option to be either nice or nasty. Each combination of player plays multiple number of rounds. When tested against different strategies, it is found that the best performing strategies are :

nice first ( they don't start the provoking),
retaliatory (when opponent is nasty they also resond nasty),
forgiving (they don't hold grudges),
clear (their strategies are clear for opponent to interpret) and
generous (when the opponent has been nasty, they do not retaliate 10℅ of the time )
