I’d love an X-Men film based on the proper comic book life of Lady Deathstrike, rather than the bastardisation we got in X-2.
However I can understand it would be far too gory.

What I’ve noticed is YouTube recommending me more obscure videos, from very small creators.

I very much appreciate whatever they’re doing, regardless of how these bigger channels are being hit by it. Yesterday I got recommended a video by an elderly woman, showing a mug warmer she bought. It was very sweet, had less than 30 views and it was a lovely contrast to the flashy, over edited videos stretching a paragraph to 10+ minutes.

Not saying the big channels are bad, I just personally like the small time channels and appreciate that YouTube has been (at least with the algorithm it has set for me) giving these small channels a shot at getting an audience.
I’ve connected with a lot of people from smaller channels, joined communities etc. yet this is much more difficult with the larger ones (in some I’ve been to, over the years, the chatrooms they set up are so huge the moderation sometimes just gives up or doesn’t even exist in any practical way).

Whilst this is true, it’s also a good reason to move to self hosting if possible.

I’ve been slowly removing my reliance on these ad filled services, even though the apks I use have ads removed, and this news just gives me more reason to ramp this up since these same APKs may no longer work without some trickery by 2027 (if they go with this plan).

Still, this all seems like constant patchwork as any and all effort is being taken to rid ourselves of control over our devices. It’s an iffy situation and I just hope people smarter than myself will continue fighting, in some manner.

I consider myself like a bear.
I occasionally hibernate for an absurd amount of time, and there’s always a chance of breaking the toilet (and myself) when I wake up.

I recently reinstalled a clean OS, and forgot to back up my bookmarks despite backing up everything else.

Then I tried to remember what I bookmarked, and I just can’t for the life of me recall a single site in that folder.

I hope they don’t block VPN access.

I was offended right from the start. That’s just NOT how an anal probe is installed! And the satellite dish was the wrong size completely.

You mean… Shrödinger’s baby?!

I believe this is a quote from Buddha, “Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned”.

There’s already a big flaw in this, and it won’t work with teenagers.

If they want to access Reddit, they’ll just do something like grab a pic of their grandparent who never uses Reddit, sneak out their ID whilst they’re sleeping, and get verification without anyone getting notified.
Sounds extreme but I can just imagine teens doing this without issue. It would be extremely easy.

Pretty much. That’s how I have 9. Occasionally hungry cats come to my garden for food. One of my best buddies passed away last year, I had built a cat house for him from a thing I got online, and I kept it there for other animals to use when the Winters come.
Recently a neighbour’s cat came to my garden, whilst they were out of the house, and she had an abscess on her face, so I was able to take her to the emergency vets and they sorted her out (was a Saturday).

I don’t know if it’s just me being high, but I think animals can sense some shit. Was at a park with a buddy last Summer and I was kneeling down to read something on a rock, and a squirrel comes to me and is like, doing those hand gestures like it’s asking me for something. My mate gave him some BBQ Hula Hoops, and the little dude was ecstatic.
I’ve been carrying water with me ever since that day, like, it would be really cool if I feed an animal water on the random.

Then you had bands like SOAD, who released an album titled “STEAL THIS ALBUM!”
Some music stores put their own stickers on the cd cases saying things like, “please don’t”, it was a great time.

BBC has been ramping up the scare mongering lately. I mean, moreso than usual. Maybe I’m just noticing it more though.

To be fair it would be illegal to do so outdoors.

To be fair we did send the interviewers down there too.
Although I don’t believe they disagreed either.

The people who drowned, of course! They look so peaceful.

I looked at it and thought, “lol funny comic strip”.

You mean there are other uses???
