  • Scrolling to the right is also slow as hell with this. It used to scroll across several videos at once but now it scrolls one per swipe.

    I stopped using the main page and started using the subscriptions page, which still has the smaller icons. I’m using YouTube a lot less, though.

  • Everything he does has always seemed like it’s the wish list republicans have been promising their base for decades. Pinning it all on him is a mistake that lets them scamper back into the walls like cockroaches once he’s gone.

  • The more data they have, the more accurate the picture. You may be underestimating how much we all change over the years. At 24 you know what your parents taught you and maybe have a degree. You probably aren’t married. You probably don’t have kids. You probably don’t have any diseases (that you know of).

    At 30, maybe you’re married and they’re collecting information about that. At 35 you’ve changed careers and gained or lost a religion. Maybe you have children (now they’re adding info on your children). Maybe you’ve found out that you are diabetic or bipolar. Maybe you’ve had two car accidents. At 40 you’ve cast off a lot of the demands of your parents. Maybe you get divorced. Maybe you realize you’re gay or trans. Maybe you become invested in a different type of politics. Maybe you change careers again. Maybe the bipolar diagnosis gets removed as a misdiagnosis. Maybe now you’ve had cancer.

    Imagine how much less they’d have on you (and your children) at 45 if you had cut them off at 24.

  • I keep seeing this a lot lately. I also saw one that had the style from the image (accept all or refuse maybe), but if you hit refuse, a second one popped up that said:

    [pay to read]

    Or

    [read for free]

    I opened it in private mode and read for free just let me into the article. I’m guessing it accepts all.

  • I made a habit of getting drunk before trying new foods. I’m not sure I’m healthier as a result. I eat a larger variety of healthier foods now (mostly vegetables), but I’m still anxious about eating with people I don’t know really well because I don’t like a lot of common foods that aren’t particularly healthy.

    The other upside is that trying different things gave me ideas for how to cook and season vegetables that I didn’t like in ways that I would like them, which opened up that whole arena a lot more. My mom usually served canned vegetables with pepper and it gave me a bad idea of what vegetables could be. Then again, maybe having those bad experiences early on made it easier for the good ones to take later.

  • More than nothing. They caused a lot of people distress and anxiety. Maybe put some people into debt.

    They also gained a heavy blue turnout in the last election then immediately capitulate as planned.

    Fucking assholes.

  • I love the idea of GoG, but it’s also the only client that forces me to pay in local currency with local taxes when I travel too. Have to use a VPN and change my time zone in settings to get it to let me pay in USD. Steam does it based on billing address and card.

    Salt Typhoon also compromised the private portals, or backdoors, that telephone companies provide to law enforcement to request court-ordered monitoring of phone numbers pursuant to investigations.
