What you say is true, but also ignores the alt-right pipelining that YouTube and others are seemingly complicit in, or at the very least is the result of perverse incentives.

And I’ll say the exact same thing about TikTok. It’s serving as primary sources for many problems around the world, it’s giving more broad and informed, collegiate level discussions of the world, and it’s full of brainrotting limbic hijacking. All true and I don’t think any generation is fully equipped to deal it.

We can also see historically that banning a “vice” has never effectively removed the vice from society.

What checks and balances might be eroded today compared to 2017?

Thanks for the tip, I’m trying to be google-free, so I’m testing it out. A little too late for election season, oh well

Sometimes, the point of research is to experimentally prove things we suspect are true.

Nobody appreciates a Kindergarten Cop joke around here I guess

Zeno’s (orgasm) paradox.

Muscles are broken down during use and repaired / built during rest.

Legally easier to ignore a ghost department.

Especially since it specifically highlights porn in a different color, it labeled my VPN IP as “Likes Porn”.

You characterize George Carlin as a simple contrarian?

Where’s your encrypted USB recovery key stored?! Is it encrypted USBs all the way down?

Odd coming from someone who is fucking retired.

I’d suspect he sacrificed work-life balance his whole career (yes, CEOs are known for golfing and vacations, but I bet they still think of work 24/7). So just like people complaining about student loan forgiveness, some people get so angry if they perceive someone might have an easier experience than they did.

It’s a very searchable name

No, I’ve seen this before. One whack to the head changes someone, but then another whack changes them back. Same principle.

Everyone with long covid just needs more covid to fix it.

The US sent 592 athletes and competed in 34 events.

China sent 388 athletes for 33 events.

I’m psyched for you! I just researched hardware benchmarks and ordered a new AMD laptop and planned to run Linux. But I didn’t research well, because the Wifi card doesn’t have official drivers yet and I couldn’t be bothered to learn to edit, make from source, and load alternate drivers, so I retreated to Win10 for a little. I’ll try again later.

Of course, algorithms! The answer was right there all along!

Yep, that’s what the linked articles’ conclusion was. But 80dB vs 120dB is a huge difference, jackhammer compared to a dishwasher. Anyway, I’m out of my depth, I shot a bow last 30 years ago. And never as a stealthy assassin nor archery-based superhero.

According to un-sourced Archery Heaven, regular crossbows are as loud as a lawnmower, nevermind repeating. Not quite the stealth you might be looking for.

I ran out of hands!
