Playboy did important journalism that helped to mainstream a ton of disfavored su cultures.
There's POWER in being a magazine that's functionally immune to reputational damage.

True in my case, at least. Reading the fiction (and non-) in Playboy was crucially influential, while the big-busted babes didn’t really do much for me, something that gave me doubts about my pubescent masculinity — until I got a look at, say, Jane Birken.
porn magazines' fiction sections were, however, a genuinely important vehicle for supporting genre authors. basically all the people who ran them seem to have been nerds
Trumpsters claiming they voted for his economic policies remind me of when men would claim they read Playboy for the articles.

With his consistently bad as fast food places seem to be at it, I wonder sometimes if "forgetting" items for your order might be an intentional tactic for ramping up profits.

Okay, this was kind of hilarious.
I'm in a big chain liquor store, and I put my two bottles of mead down on the conveyor belt. They scan & bag, tell me the total, and I stick my card in the reader.
Turns out, they only scanned one of the two bottles. Unintentional BOGO!

People with trauma histories often interpret neutral cues as negative.
"You can come if you want." sounds to them like the person doesn't actually want them to come.
Affirming that you want them there helps remove any doubts.

Okay, as someone who's worked in both the fuel and beverage industries, this gives me pause.
This bottle of moonshine is the exact same color as avgas.
It appears that the color is actually the glass and not the liquid itself, but still.
