I genuinely feel as though those that donate to nuisance streamers to cause problems should be punished too. It's a technical and legal nightmare I know.

I'll settle for those platforms being held liable too.

There's a good NPR podcast in the same vein as this: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/06/21/533840751/episode-779-shrimp-fight-club

It's about congressman talking about government waste and targeting the sciences. It's like, you don't get the "cool" applications without the "weird" research. I'm doing a horrible job describing it, but I thought it was a good listen.

I can't remember which one of my phones, probably a Samsung that had Facebook installed and couldn't get rid of it. People were like, you can just not open it or something. There's a good reason I don't want it on my device.

I'm having trouble sourcing it now, but I think he got over that. What was posted was initial reaction but I swore he was trying to embrace it afterwards.

I think that's why I enjoyed Gone Girl. I didn't have to like him and his smugness or whatever worked into the character.

I've had to give up caffeine due to the persistent headaches. I really envy everyone able to just enjoy it.

I bought a Pixel Pro Fold 9 because all these tech influencers were talking about how once you get one you can't go back.

Yes, I can. I rarely unfold it.

It's really expensive and I don't see the value. I thought I'd use it most on a plane and it's "kinda" more useful on a flight. Balatro plays better. However, I just wish I got a thinner phone that's easier to carry for my runs.

I think I just want a smaller phone with a good battery life and a headphone jack.

If you do wind up getting a Pro Fold and have smaller hands like me. Get a Sinjimoru or something so you can grip it better. The "spine" of the phone is exposed and I dropped it after like a few weeks and guess where it scratched?

I've always had a "mug me" type of face, I think. Been bullied a lot growing up. Had a good sense of humour about it. My coworker a few weeks ago said, "I don't know why, it's easy to make fun of you."

I get the feeling if Lions are pretty chill. They'd just "know" I'm an easy meal.

This was originally titled: 1 Christian v 20 Atheists, but it seems they changed it after JP keeps muddying the waters.

Update: I get why most of you wouldn't want to watch the video. I went to a men's group therapy session and went after the organizer for recommending me a Jordan Peterson book. I get it. The video, however, isn't a Jordan Peterson channel (yes I know we're still bumping him in the algorithm) but I think it fit the community for sure.

I just don't get why you would comment: "I'm not watching that." Congrats dude. I know it's for you, not every video is. There is some value in seeing Peterson get dunked on and seeing the way he weasels out of things and getting called out. If you think it's not worth the cost of watching the video. I'm not going to disagree with that. That's cool too. We can all be cool about things.

 

Sorted Food guys taste potentially pretentious ingredients and judge them. Just a bit of fun.

I didn't sign up for any list. I also heard that you shouldn't text STOP to these messages because they use that as confirmation of my number?

I reported it to spam, I'm just curious if these are legit and how you handle these?

I'm watching a video by Zac Rios about people buying lavish Easter Baskets for their kids and such:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDfCjp9fSGI

I know there's an Easter hunt in school and for kids and stuff, but I've never received or heard anyone receiving an Easter basket as a gift living in Canada/UK for the past 40 years of my life.

I googled and "Google AI" says that it is a thing in Canada, but I don't trust it.

Is this a thing that I've completed missed? If this is a tradition for you, where are you from and how long have you done this?
