Yeah, I’m not clear either. At first I thought the microblogs section would work more like Mastodon but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Big missed opportunity

After watching Season 2 of The Orville I’m of the opinion that Seth MacFarlane should be put in charge of the next mainline Star Trek series. The man truly gets Roddenberry’s vision.

It just gives me a 404 when I try to use it on kbin, sadly.

Has anybody made a kbin script/userstyle that has the same information density as old.reddit? One of the things that drives me nuts about most of the fediverse is that every damn site seems to love this wide spread out low information density mobile web awfulness.

Very few states allow it, and none of them in public. It’s only ever allowed in a private residence (usually the residence of your parent/guardian) while under the direct supervision of your parent/guardian. Even then it can become a crime if somehow the law gets involved and they feel like pressing charges.

During my very brief stint as a security guard at a casino I ran into that last part way more than I ever would have expected. It is astounding how many people do not understand that the laws from their home country do not apply in the country they are visiting.

It’s also kinda dodgy what YouTube considers “viewing” a video. 3 seconds of autoplay? You viewed it. Misclick an ad trying to skip? Viewed it. AndroidTV previewed the video when you left it highlighted for too long? You guessed it, viewed.

Fortunately figuring out what it considers you to have viewed is pretty straightforward: if it’s in your watch history it considers it viewed. You can also go through that and manually purge things.

Of course there’s still the question of why YouTube will so consistently recommend videos that get people started down this downhill slide of absolute dogshit atrocious content.

Hadn’t even considered this, but I think you’re onto something. Even if it’s not the main goal, that could definitely have factored into the decision.

He’s living proof that being a regressive incel troglodyte isn’t limited to people who are ugly.

Well, ugly on the outside anyway. Much like beauty, true ugliness comes from inside, and that man has an inner ugliness that cannot be denied. He can do all the reps he wants and he’ll still come across like someone who shouldn’t be allowed within 1000 feet of a school.

I bought a nice shower seat for my spouse several years back so she didn’t have to balance awkwardly on one foot to wash the other. I’ve used it on occasion when I’m not feeling super great and oh damn does it make a the shower that much more relaxing, at least if I can get the showerhead aimed so I’m not being pelted in the face.

As much as he pissed people off I did like Sal Bundry using every opportunity to talk about his 5 touchdowns in a single game.

That really felt like the kind of question someone would ask only if they’re lactose intolerant. “Load up on cheese before you go camping so you don’t have to poo” is pretty common wisdom.

FF games are a solid choice. The Pixel Remasters have been very well received and anything that makes the early games more approachable is a solid win in my book. That said, I personally found the 3D version of FFIII (actual 3, not 6) to be phenomenal.

No shit?

…I’ll see myself out.

Seconding Qxir. His humor + artstyle + accent combine into a really amusing end result, plus he actually does a fair bit of research into the topics he covers.

Along those lines, Sam O’Nella Academy is another channel of “amusing narration + semi-crude yet understandable illustrations + genuinely informative”. I started with his video on Tarrare and chortled mightily throughout.

I’ve decided I’m gonna play through all the Final Fantasy games in order, finally, so I was gonna have to wait anyway.

Ah yes, character assassination that doesn’t address the content of the article

This message sponsored by liars who hate it when you point out their history of telling lies.

Ah yes, The Intercept, founded by blatant Russian propagandist and “Ukraine had biolabs” conspiracy promoter Glenn Greenwald. Surely this article is unbiased and not at all misleading.
