There’s so goddamn much to swear about in these fucking times we live in that I really respect anyone who can still hold their shit together enough not to.

Fuck you, Jack.
Musk sheepishly suggested that he didn’t mean “advertisers as a whole.”
“Advertisers have a right to appear next to content that they find compatible with their brands,” he told ad giant WPP CEO Mark Read during an interview on Wednesday. “What is not cool is insisting that there can be no content that they disagree with on the platform.”
How is that “not cool?” I don’t understand how he can possibly object to a company spending their advertising dollars wherever they damn well choose to. He repeatedly makes it clear that he feels entitled to their budgets. There is zero basis for that. I truly cannot fathom how he can be so dense about this.
Your account is a festering shithole. My YT is full of woodworking and gardening tutorials, geopolitics and cosmology explainers, Tolkein lore and a few other fun things I enjoy. I’m sorry yours is not as fulfilling.
Just saying that is unlikely to persuade any religious crazies. Especially since NDGT came out and said he uses BC/AD because the Gregorian calendar was worked out by a priest so he’ll give them that nomenclature point. It’s just an arbitrary scale anyway.
Wow is that really a thing? So dumb.
Goliath died outside of Jerusalem, too, not Rome. And his people were Greek, not Roman, so it’s not like his remains would be taken back to Rome. And if he really was such a champion, his remains wouldn’t be left in a random forest with no marker or ruins about.
EDIT: No time for the old “Philistines aren’t Greeks,” love, I’ve just come to read the meter.
No need to get vulgar, there, chief. I’m just a satisfied customer who doesn’t understand why watching YT videos has to be such a deathmatch with their engineering team all the time. I’ll bet that the majority of people here get the value from YT that Premium charges for, and a sizable number of people here pay for some streaming service that they actually use less than YT. Yet because YT is a website with a free tier, the arms race of ad blocking / countermeasures is never ending. People wind up hating YT and talking about them like the third reich, when it’s really a service that all of us love and depend on. Shrug?
“Look at these bad faith negotiators who won’t even accept our empty promises.”
I think if you read between the line, Tesla people aren’t just worried that he will stop working as hard for them, but also worried that he will flip and become an active detractor of theirs. Look at what he’s done with OpenAI. You can say he owns too many shares of Tesla but he could do quite a bit of damage to their stock price merely by selling them.
It has been cringe in the extreme to watch them debate whether they are giving their babyman chieftain enough billions to appease him.
I pay for YT Premium. It’s 100% worth it based on my very high usage of YT for entertainment and learning. Best streaming service bargain by far. Netflix’s pile of shitty self-made movies is a ripoff by comparison.
It will be the ultimate irony when Israel finally carries out its own Holocaust of millions.
Maybe that’s because people more concerned than yourself have been risking their lives and going to great effort to inject aid to keep it away for one more day, one more day.
Every bit of effort and resourcing they spend on this returns revenue directly. Which is more than they can probably say for a lot of things they do. And they’re smart enough to know that they can’t eliminate blocking, just make it harder and harder so that fewer and fewer people do it.
“Virtually impossible?” I haven’t had ads on YT in over 6 years, and I don’t even use a blocker or alt client.
TNG has young fans and you can have enough old farts like me around to populate a TNG forum while the whole is still mostly younger.
It skews young, and young skews left.
Now if only young voted…
He realized that if you have a large number of people on remote control, you can do pretty well with Ponzi schemes.
Right but the bubble of rightness you speak of is usually only assumed to include the company staff. Really powerful CEOs have their board inside the bubble too, or even public investors. But Elon thinks the customers work for him too. That’s really beyond the pale.
