You can still be beautiful on the inside

Heat is heat, “low density large volume” or whatever, they’ve successfully used it in cold climate locations to heat residential homes already.

Technologic.

Having a toy is just as good for that purpose.

You won’t be treated as if it’s a toy though.

YouTube can burn.

They generate more money than whole countries and you want to give them more? I don’t have to pay them shit for them to make money off of me from my browsing history alone.

I would rather speed forward the enshittification to the point that all creators decide to strike and hop over collectively to another, kinder, video hosting site.

In the meantime Google benefits from my viewing data/history and sells that over and over. They’re making money hand over fist and then when you pay them for a “premium” experience you’re just handing them more. You’re already a cash cow for them with just using the site. Screw that noise.

Give directly to the creator.

Yes.

You know, I can’t think of anybody that might deserve it. Makes me think of that duck’s in heaven joke.

Three guys die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get there, St. Peter says, “We only have one rule here in heaven: Don’t step on the ducks!” So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place.

It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first guy accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest woman he has ever seen. St. Peter chains them together and says, “Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to the ugly woman!”

The next day, the second guy steps accidentally on a duck, and along comes St. Peter, who doesn’t miss a thing, and with him is another extemely ugly woman. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first guy.

The third guy has observed all this and not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly woman, is very, VERY careful where he steps. He manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St. Peter comes up to him with the most gorgeous woman he has ever laid eyes on: a very tall, tan, curvaceous, sexy blonde. St. Peter chains them together without saying a word. The guy remarks, “I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all of eternity?” She says, “I don’t know about you, but I stepped on a duck!”

His screen name lol.

But seriously yeah. The guy needs help. Maybe a wife.

Molasses is like honey on steroids. So more honey is absolutely a go.

If they ever do a second season, I’d love it if they refrained from trying to shoehorn in any radical changes.

Ayyyy! Now yer talkin’!

It won’t be a terminator style takeover by AI, mankind will simply lend all of our trust and capability to it rendering us dependant. Even to the point of liking our computer overlords.

I think that particular apocalypse is a long time off and can be avoided, but it’s coming.

So I become a Sol baby? Everything I have would need to be changed.

The only winners here are the January babies.

I guess, after an instant, all nerves responsible for pain are just vaporized by the lava so it would feel numb or like nothing at all.

I’m guessing he still feels quite dumb, though. Nothing will help that pain go away.

Gorgeous pictures regardless!

Is that a different kind of flute? It’s not like one I can recognize.

My grandma called it the doodely-woodely music.

I have had a long day and I’m reading this too seriously.

Why would the first guy say he’s still gay after being voted off? Wouldn’t he just admit he’s the straight one and everyone else splits the prize?

Thank you for the information. I needed some brushing up on all of it.

Finally a good argument, thank you.

I agree that premium splits the percentage of my cash equally and easily but only 55% bugs me. That’s an arbitrary number based off of some black box calculation.

I do not trust YouTube to have my or the creators best interest in mind.

If this number was 90% for creators I would consider it fair. The majority of the work comes from creators and is the reason YouTube has any people at its doorstep.

In the meantime, I can still far less effectively make use of my money the way I want to until a better alternative comes around.

I’ll just have the sweat it and try harder to be a better consumer, I guess.
