If I don't show you a video because I don't think you'd enjoy it, that's different from not showing it to you because I don't want you to see it.

I wouldn't disagree those are different reasons for not wanting to show a video but both are curations based on biases.

I guess I just have a more neutral connotation for bias than "biased against you for others' own interests" and so I didn't find bias to be a useful term here to distinguish the reasons behind curation choices.

Nothing really in disagreement here, just fiddling with common usage.

hey it says "in" not "up". Just gotta lay down or maybe go inverted.

How is bias not inherent to curation? Preference for one thing over another is bias. Curation is literally showing you things it thinks you're biased to like. These groups aren't revealing their secret sauce for curation algorithms so we'd never know anyway.

nose hair trimmer attachment works well around the ears I've found (but it's loud!)

cold cuts? Have you seen the price of a bag of chips? Ridiculous. I don't need to spend 5 bucks to hate myself later after I've eaten too many.

$30 to buy an old mechanical pencil on ebay you remember having in highschool? No problemo.

Texas will happily block banks on the banks' own association/speech though. Hypocrites.

Edit: same or similar law prohibits the state from doing business with anyone that (I guess publicly?) boycotts Israel. https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/paxton-wins-major-case-defending-texass-anti-boycott-israel-law

Yes, in the paperwork when bidding a state funded project you have to sign a paper saying you aren't boycotting Israel. Madness.

Edit 2: I just realized the name of this community. I have no idea on what side you're supposed to be falling for on this. Just calling out what I see as folks trying to have it both ways.

We got real close to "15 minute cities" but that doesn't light up the outrage centers of the brain like DEI I guess. Shame.
