This is a case of being the change you want to see in the world. The fediverse contains content you subscribe to or create. It’s trivial to block content you don’t want to see. It’s still small enough that you can effect visible change on it. And if you’re not seeing content you want to see, are able to post that content.
I think the reason it’s so prevalent here in the US is because the vast majority of the population ended up here at least in part due to immigration. So identifying as ethnically originating from elsewhere is a part of that self identity.
The disparity however, is knowing that while traveling through Europe, this style of self identification falls flat because simply being ethnically from a place doesn’t mean you can claim to be born and raised from there. And that meaning is what’s different between the US and Europe.
Having used their software in the past, I’m personally quite uncomfortable with this technology being used to monitor American citizens.
YouTube has a subscriptions feed that shows videos only from channels you follow.
I’ve found that turning the watch history off results in more accurate and relevant recommended videos from videos you watch from your subscribed channels.
When the recommended videos suddenly go off kilter, it’s telling that the video you’re watching is somehow related to the weird side of YouTube.
4, 5, 9.
4 because while the process might be painful, aside from the process it’s not an extreme change. And because I needed to pick 3 and only 3 options.
5 because that super strength would certainly come in handy if it’s controllable. It would suck if everything gets absolutely crushed by accident the moment you attempt to interact with it.
9 because why the hell not. You can’t be happy all the time, and the rest of the options seem to be a net negative. So at least being able to live comfortably or account for #5 would be okay
All hail the mighty blob 🙏
Love your username 🐍🐓🪿😂
I’ve never done it but I do know you can technically make it by slicing up nice lean cuts of steak. Marinading them so they soak up the flavor. Then dangling them on the rack in the oven on the lowest heat setting with the door cracked open for a few hours. A friend of mine did this and they came out amazing with deer jerky.
Did some more googling about this, looks like there’s other unconventional and seemingly unintuitive counter signals that might lend credence to these metrics: https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/sex-workers-already-predicted-theres-110007476.html
What’s a melty cookie? Like temperature warm so the chocolate is melting?
