This is my first exposure to this idea and it’s quite compelling. Couple that with the perceived tone being argumentative instead of inquisitive or ignorant and that’s a recipe for disaster.

The fact the algorithms only care about engagement, positive or negative, means rage bait takes over too so that doesn’t help the perception that a question is actually an attack.

Where’s your source for this? I’ve never noticed it so it just not be happening

Me.

Would’ve liked to see what percentage have none.

I’m still buying CDs to rip and having my music library as MP3s on my phone. No internet connection required, I have total control of the files, and a physical backup if needed.

Yes, it wasn’t until the third panel did I notice the arms of the chair and suddenly the person was bald

Whoa o black Betty

I already do. I also want to pay my way.

The problem is what I’d like doesn’t exist (I’m not going to subscribe you a million different websites and still not even be ad free) and probably can’t. How much do all the ads I’m blocking cost? It’d be ripe for abuse but I’d essentially like a taxi meter, but it would charge me for website use from just one central account that I top up or is part of my internet bill or whatever.

I want the whole business model of using ads and tracking to pay for the internet to not exist.

Yes I’m also the same way with ads. I’d happily spend more for internet if there was somehow an “ad surcharge” that would mean I’d never see ads or be tracked. Let me pay whatever the advertisers pay.

I’d argue they risk losing users who post links to their videos online. It’s likely the same group who tend to use ad blockers are also the ones more likely to link a video online, so YouTube would miss out on all the non-adblock users clicking links and watching the videos that way.

Everything reminds me of her him

Probably why this scam works so well. It’s like how the bad spelling etc in phishing helps to weed out the less susceptible people so they don’t waste their time.

If you’re already falling for the Musk bullshit, then you’re a prime target.

Which makes the whole thing really silly then… My house would have a similar big bubble/little bubble by just hosting a few social events over a year

You joke but I literally pictured a super long battery for a solid bit before it clicked. I was thinking maybe it was coiled and technically really long like a spool of wire

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

Yes, I may have worded it a bit poorly

Gross.

Total aside: there is a group that you can visually identify when it comes to anesthetics. Redheads tend to have a higher tolerance and can need as much as 20% more for the same pain management effects.

That’s because he knows how much he’s committing isn’t being accounted for

Or maybe it does, who knows. It’s the Cybertruck afterall
