To stop YouTube from suggesting a specific channel, follow these steps:

1. Open YouTube on your device.
2. Hover over a video from the unwanted channel on your homepage or sidebar.
3. Click the three dots that appear next to the video title.
4. Select “Don’t recommend channel” from the dropdown menu

The algorithms prioritize things that other users spend a lot of time watching, not relevant or healthy content. Just addictive slop. It’s such a major failing of our institutions that this practice hasn’t been regulated away.

I wish they’d let us hide shows like you can hide channels on YouTube

I think peta is probably right to kill all those dogs. Better to be euthanized than to live in a kennel.

My parents would never have allowed it or my dad would’ve gotten very creepy about it.

Those Redditors are probably 16 year olds themselves upset that the girls they like are always going for 18 - 20 year olds

They’re experiencing positive re-enforcement when they get violent with the people they’ve intrapped. They’re getting more violent because they want more of the positive online feedback they’ve been getting.

There is no lofty thought process about justice.

In the 1980s, it was possible for a McDonald’s worker to afford a house on their salary alone due to lower housing costs and higher relative purchasing power. For example, in 1980, the average home price was around $47,200, and minimum wage workers could feasibly save for a down payment with disciplined budgeting[5].

Today, this scenario is nearly impossible. Housing costs have skyrocketed while wages have stagnated. A full-time McDonald’s worker earning $8.75/hour would gross about $13,811 annually, far below the income needed to afford even modest housing without spending more than 30% of their income on rent[2][4].

Maybe this applies to some. But consider the conservative whose stomach does a flip flop whenever they just see a fat woman, a trans-person, or a black man.

They hate that flip flop, and the only way they think it’ll ever go away is if you remove those people from society.

What sort of extensions would one use for a note taking app? What sort of notes to you take with it?

Following your logic Lake Michigan should be renamed Lake America. There’s a bunch of lakes up there, do they all get renamed Lake of America? Seems confusing!

Here’s a list of all the gulfs in the Americas:

North America

1. Gulf of Mexico
2. Gulf of Alaska
3. Gulf of California (Sea of Cortes)
4. Gulf of St. Lawrence
5. Gulf of Honduras
6. Gulf of Panama
7. Gulf of Tehuantepec

Central and South America

8. Gulf of Darien (Colombia and Panama)
9. Gulf of Venezuela
10. Gulf of Guayaquil (Ecuador)

Following your logic, they’re all badly named because that’s just named after the region they’re in, not the content.

Feels like these were barely a thing for a month before mp3 players took off.

I remember people talking about how small media storage was getting

Records - > Tapes - > CDs

People thought they’d eventually all the pill sized but still contain exactly one album or one movie.

We never thought ‘what if I could fit every album I own on one Disc?’

I remember showing my iPod to my uncle who had a hige music collection and telling him that his whole wall of albums could fit on this white rectangle and then some. He was impressed but didn’t see much value until he thought about driving in the car.
