A little, but he’s really just more naive. I like opening his eyes by making him look at things from another perspective.

I went to a call center in Canada once where they did this; community coffee mugs. They assigned someone to wash the dishes every week or so; had a washing machine built into the break room. The center was on an island so the pollution from using disposable cups would have been untenable. It was a neat culture; I didn’t see a single “that’s gross” reaction.

Mike, it’s possible that both answers are acceptable. I had the benzedrine prescription and used that and still attained 5 stars. I’ve edited the post to reflect a possible alternate choice for that interview.

just to let you know you missed a question during the Dr. Stoneman interview… The question is fashion modeling and the answer is Doubt…. i don’t know if it affects whether or not you get five stars, just figured you’d like to know.

No problem. I noticed a distinct lack of interrogation guides for the DLC, so I rushed through it to get it together for others that would need it, too.

Comment on “Relevant ads” by papabean

You are correct that NO advertising can subvert one’s will to buy a product they have no interest in purchasing. However, advertising can bring to light products or services that people had no use for prior to the implication that their life was lacking without said product or service.

Yes, allowing people to opt-out would actually satisfy me. So long as I could opt-out of not only a particular ad set or server, but the numerous other domains/servers owned by that parent company.

Behavioral targeting is more effective specifically because it targets the consumer’s interests. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the product is one that was needed. It can also exclude something that may be of interest to them based on their browsing habits alone. For me, my browsing habits don’t completely reflect my offline interests.
