But it only supports them if their video is then also good. I don’t like clickbait, because I don’t want to be tricked into my monkey brain looking at something. I do want to see good videos.

Just yesterday the algorithm found some guy doing tech videos. I watched a few of them and then sent a text to a friend who I thought would like it. He asked for a link so I pulled the guys channel up on my phone, and holy smokes, clickbait. If I hadn’t seen the videos already I wouldn’t have given that guy the time of day. But they are well thought out, interesting videos.

I’m not here to correct the world’s poor behaviour. I’m here to watch good videos. De-arrow does a good job of that, it’s quite interesting to see YouTube on a computer without it vs what I’m used to now.

So you are gonna have to provide a source explaining how the president using an executive order to rename international water is “policy” that Google must follow.

They you’ll have to explain why I, as a Canadian, have to see this stupid renaming in parentheses.

If the US truely doesn’t have a system beyond “once the president orders it, it’s renamed.” That’s their problem but I don’t give a fuck what they call things and I don’t know why google thinks I should.

I must say I e never played Skyrim, and I didn’t know how beautiful it could be. I might have to have a closer look.

I play a game called “The Long Dark”, and the first screenshot with the aurora made me do a double take. In that game you are alone in a northern Canadian region that has been abandoned both due to economics as well as some in game magic that makes electricity not work. The survival mode is just “live as long as you can, then die.” It’s permadeath and can be incredibly frustrating and cruel, but the beauty in that game is unreal. I’ve ended a 6 day run (nothing to me now, but a big acheivement at the time) because I was watching the Aurora on a clear winter night. The music was somber and I thought I might freeze to death as I crossed this long rope bridge. I should have been looking at the bridge, because staring up into the sky I suddenly was getting further away from it … It was maybe a 3 second fall as I realized I either walked off the bridge or maybe there was a gap or something.

“You have faded into the long dark.” -wasn’t even mad.

I mean he’s being bukaked with publicity… So if that’s his thing?

What I’d like to know, assuming there is still logic and sanity in this world (please it’s all I have don’t argue) how would a company from this list have avoided this in the first place? Like once you start advertising with a partner like X then you may never stop? Seriously I’m not sure. So maybe just never risk doing business with anyone because you’ll be sued into staying in business with them forever? I’m certain it’s right in their contracts how and when they can leave, is that in dispute?

“Not cheating!” -you in your first post.

You know when you avoid doing something, cause you know it’s stupid and pointless? Like it won’t matter if you do it so why do it? But then some annoying little turd keeps bringing it up. And now it’s more work to ignore them than it would be to do the thing.

And then you go to do the thing and it takes .5 seconds cause that’s how dumb the guy is. Then you end up enjoying taking the time and wishing you’d done it the first time?

Gosh you are hopeless. I’m so sorry.

Maybe your mommy has time to explain it to you?

Do you need me to define “defend”? Or are you just that clueless?

Google can help with the first problem. Noone can help you with the second.

Ok, so you claim you think you are autistic. That’s fair, reading posts can be as hard as being in a room with unfamiliar people who have inside jokes or use sarcasm alot.

So perhaps then you should listen to what everyone here is telling you: boosting and account sharing is a form of cheating, recognised by the platforms he runs those games on. Elon did that, denied he was doing it. And got caught.

Elon cheated.

No Elon didn’t cheat by using the Konami code or downloading an aim not or mod or anything like that. He cheated by boosting and account sharing.

You are getting down votes for two reasons here: you are wrong (he did cheat, it’s how that you seem worried about) and you are defending one of the shittiest people to currently exist on the planet.

Those are the facts. Hope that helps.

Oh… I misread the headline and though it said “explosion of data center.” I was like "wow how did they not know a data center exploded that started the fire?? There must be some people working there…

Put a window in that teapot!

Oh… Oh is that what I was supposed to do?

Found the crafting systems (one for building I guess, one for weapons and food and “handheld” stuff) to be incredibly non-intuitive. For what we all paid, my family had a great evening each accidentally walking into the fire and then running around in a panic onfire while everyone else barely looked up from their craft books.

You are correct, which is why I didn’t pursue the matter. They can keep my money, they’ve lost a customer.

They are providing a SERVICE. I was not using the service, I didn’t need it. The mistake might have been mine (assuming it wasn’t a dark pattern or sketchy design) but they had a choice: keep my money and tell me to go fuck myself (which they did) or refund my money at no cost to them. This wasn’t a box of goods that they would have to take back and reinventory.

I would have purchased the lower tier of service (which I explained to the rep) and continued to use their services, and I would have been telling you about how they were reasonable and I am a happy customer.

I had already invested significant effort in moving my email over, it was a pain to shift back, but if Proton’s answer to a simple problem is “fuck you, we’ve got ours.”, I’ll pass. I spent a lot of time on their 'pick a paid service" page because I was going to pay for one of their lower tiers, I just hadn’t decided which one.

I tried switching to Proton. They took my money somehow (I think I was looking over the paid options and then got distracted and auto filled. Basically I wasn’t paying attention) and then when I noticed on my cc bill I contacted them to say 'hey, I didn’t mean to pay for all these features I don’t need and am not using. Can I please have a refund?" They were like “lol it’s been a month and 2 days so no, enjoy your 17 email addresses and some other crap you aren’t using and don’t need.”.

Still looking for an alternative to Google but it isn’t going to be Proton.

And just like that, I’m suddenly way more comfortable google…

Please join me and fast for 24 hours! And pray!

Literally everyone, looking at their calendar wondering when they are supposed to take 24hours to starve themselves for… For what?

Seriously even if this actually helped the situation his privilege isn’t just showing, it’s flopping around while his panties are around his ankles. Who has 24 consecutive hours a week for this BS?

Answering honestly: so that shitty people can like shitty things without the consequences. They can broadcast their views without having to answer for them, and down the line it’s easier to manipulate likes so Elon can sell likes or remove likes from anything he pleases, which allows twitter to create “public opinion” that won’t be in line with actual public opinion.
