I get angry when folks cut in line, or otherwise broadcast that they think that everyone around them is basically a piece of human garbage whose time is worth way less then theirs. Well, you don’t know me or my life, rude stranger.

They might think that everyone is worthless, but it’s common courtesy to give random strangers the benefit of the doubt until they prove to you that they do not deserve that courtesy. It seems like such a low bar to me for living comfortably in a society, so if my fellow humans can’t even muster that, that hits me in the feels :-). Oh well, sucks to be them!

That sounds like a lot of work without any returns!

The /s at the end is used to indicate sarcasm. With that information, I would rate it joke/10

With shorts specifically, on my old now non existant account, which had a scary good profile of me, I got washed with right wing bullshit and transphobia when it shoehorned shorts in my life. It knew very very well who I was and that I would not enjoy any of that. I notified YT through don’t show me this again buttons, and when it wouldn’t stop I informed them they had 7 days to get this out of my recommendations or I would close my activity at their website. They did not react, they did not make shorts an option, they did not get the right wing garbage out of the 3 shorts they managed to throw in my face somehow every day when using YouTube. This account was over 10yo. Seeing how good their normal recommendations were, I can only conclude it was broken or bought for shorts, and thus you should be extremely reticent/reluctant blaming it on the users when they get wierd stuff.

My goal is to inform you that your N=1 is unrepresentative, I came in to say: “shorts algorithm suggestions were completely out of wack to my YouTube account(too!)” so now we have at least n=3, and if we can trust each other to say the truth, your ‘its a you problem’ is false. That’s important, because you accused someone of having certain interests, based on their experiences with that algorithm. I think that’s pulling the gun and putting too much ‘trust’ in a commercial YT algorithm, that worked for some (you I guess) but not for all.

So what you’re saying is you trust YouTube to do it right? With shorts? I got bombarded with bullshit in shorts, the 50 times they got it in front of my eyes somehow, I never watched any of that in my normal yt rounds. That algorithm is made to brainwash, not to serve you what you want.

I think I whistle the Pennsylvania Polka at least 5 times a week.

Snowpiercer is so, so very weird. Fantastic!

<3. The letters in the title could be a DNA sequence. We might watch this tonight, for date night!

I never heard about pre paid electric meters for homes. May I ask where you are located? Small UPS seems like the frickin perfect addon to that situation!

I never thought about sneezing ‘culture’ or it being learned behavior, but my neighbor is deaf from birth and he sneezes VERY different from what I know and hear around me, so that got me wondering.

Never forget about your secondary armpit; the elbowpitfold.

Wow, didn’t know you could graduate as an Allergician! Nature is amazing 🤣

I had a “back to the 90s” chill day with my brother this spring. Johnny Mnemonic got us in the feels the hardest :).

How does my soul remember everything back as if I never went to sleep. You do it every day but losing and regaining consciousness in that very practical way is already pretty mind-blowing to me.

Soul creation and experience being so analog is because our brainputers are in some ways very analog, and adaptive. And your biorobotmachine is also very analog, so that kind of clicks for me :)

Why is there even an edge? I’m already mortal, why does my spacetime need hard limits too?? It’s just cosmic baloney man.

Its all fun and games until the sea peoples arrive. Ruining all our parties with their looting, hogging all the tin so we can’t make bronze. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Wow didn’t expect to find a gold mine so early in the morning 🌄 !

You can even load custom music in, I used my old TA (Total Annihilation) mp3 files and now it’s just like old times. Very intense multiplayer gaming though, phew!

Best of Baroque music top 150. My life partner suggests Smooth Soul!
