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.

You have to admit, he really destroyed that strawman version of you though.

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”.

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 more of a sardines from the tin kinda fella.

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

I think you’re getting downvotes because you’re projecting a narrative onto @Reyali and using quotes around non-quotes. They didn’t say they were “probably not right.”

I agree, everyone should be skeptical of information someone else is sharing, because we can’t assume intention. But what would motivate someone to say “I’m probably not right” anyway?

What’s interesting to me is that for you, your guard went up for someone admitting a potential of having missed something, which may make you more susceptible to people who are confidently wrong.

Most others’ reaction is the opposite, taking their statement as an attempt to be genuine and open to feedback. If someone invites feedback, is willing to admit they might be wrong, that’s a much better starting point for conversation.

Finally, a religion that makes sense.

These world class athletes are just better and stronger than us, so they can totally tolerate 5x the safe level. Maybe even 10x! It may be true that we don’t know how many times more they can take! A million? These are important questions that we must answer.

All my KPIs are saying this is a win.

The EFF isn’t a fan and various other rights orgs have worked against KOSA.

I’m seeding 5TB of Anna’s - all I did was say how much data I could take and the site made a pack of torrents that needed help. It’s the least I can do for all the knowledge I’ve benefited from.

The answer is there, keep wondering 🙂

That’s a delightful response to my snarky comment, thank you.

I agree, the incentive structure is such that it undermines the goals of journalism. Compounded with a firehose of misinformation, even full-time journalists must be overwhelmed.

I’m unwilling to give them a pass, however. Their job is to report accurately, they understand the risk of reporting things that are not fully vetted, and choose to anyway. As you say, they’re complicit.

Surely you’re not accusing the media of any malfeasance!
