You can set it to push the big top button to kill the alarm, but it also has a motion sensor option where you "push" your hand toward it and the Nintendo character shrinks (mine is Pikmin), push again and it shrinks tinier, then push again to kill the alarm. It also has settings where if you fall back asleep on days its set for, and after X amount of time it detects no movement to get out of bed, the alarm goes off again. It actually has all kinds of neat motion based stuff like that. If you get out of bed it detects it and kills the alarm, but if within 1 hr it detects you getting back into bed, and then no movement, it'll go off again, protecting you from falling back asleep and missing work.
I would have been more impressed if I hadn't owned a slightly elderly $35 alarm clock with similar motion features plus an attachment to optionally shake my bed to wake me. Of course it doesn't have the cute aspects.
I'm not saying It is Nintendo greed, just that the price is very much not worth it except as a Nintendo ip collectors item.
Sometimes an argument is less about the other sides, but people who are only reading the argument without joining. That's who the argument truly is for.
This so much. When I engage with someone who's already dug their heels in and has no intention of discussing a topic with an open mind, I already know it's not them I'm laying out a logical argument for, but rather their audience. The ones reading the interaction. While that person may be stiffnecked and stubborn in their views, that doesn't mean everyone else reading the exchange is.
I always tell myself, I'm not debating to change the person's mind. That's almost always impossible. I'm working to prevent them from leading others astray.
When they have formal debates on stage, rarely if ever does one concede and say, "Ya know, now that you put it that way I think you've changed my mind". Their goal isn't to persuade their opposition, their goal is to persuade the audience- the ones who aren't stiffnecked, still have an open mind and haven't yet dug their heels in.
So when I engage with someone online, I accept from the jump they're not going to change their mind, no matter how rational or logical the argument, no matter how many facts are presented. It's not about them. It's about the impressionable minds they very well may lead astray if their unreasonable assertions remain unchecked and unchallenged. Which will only breed and multiply ignorance.
