Shouldn’t it just be deepening where I already am in goodness, not stressing my joints?

@BarryFromMars  
But corporate propaganda says that stress is good for us! It helps us work harder!

See, there’s one thing that I find rather heavy. What’s the point anyway, taking money out of the equation? I mean, I get part of it; people have a product and would like to market it. What happens after it’s sold?
 
And a little bit more detail about women’s cosmetic products: my stance on it is if it’s good for them, fine yet if it’s stressful as if they’re doing it out of a “You’re not enough” belief then forget it - it’s sad. I’m not the only guy who thinks like this. I’m not saying this to degrade makeup if there’s any merit in it, just pointing out the why here. Joy rather than Stress.
 
… What else do people say the word “Stress” for? It’s used in contexts such as “the abuse of this car by not changing the oil stressed the engine.” Meanwhile, “Oh, Joy! You kept this engine very clean. It looks like new! I bet it could go for another half a million miles with this kind of treatment!”

Meaning that they sent a fill-in survey to their magazine subscriptions and even though they could cherry-pick the results they still couldn’t make a statistical group small enough to get 100% positive results.

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who feels the same about these human-made statistics; they only survey so many people and even then those people may change.

It’s not about actual figures, it’s about statistics. Statistics can prove anything so long as you control all the variables of the actual information being collated. You could have a poll that finds 99% of human beings love watching puppies being thrown into a blender and it would be totally true….because you only surveyed people who like seeing puppies get thrown in blenders.

Not a good comparison since Kindle has its name stamped on the front of its casing.

Do you know which company installed windows in your house? Unless you ordered them recently, chances are you don’t. This is the same thing, basically.

“I don’t know if I have a house. I probably do. I’ll have to check.”

How do you not know!? You either do or you don’t.

Eh, not all people are brand conscious. They might not be sure if they have one or not, that’s normal.

The whole idea of polling for something like this is stupid. Just look at sales figures and you have a very accurate poll.

Oh, America. <3

Why was that even there?!

Heh, “I mean, I might own one, I don’t know!”
