It's rich for a TV exec to call YouTube 'slop'. Compared to traditional TV, where 1/3rd or more of your time is spent watching ads for prescription drugs or fake silver coins, the YouTubers I watch put much more thought and artistic energy into what they produce than the laugh track trash on TV.

I don't really sample them, but if I want to know more about a subject I will normally ask for a book recommendation to go along with it.

I'm wondering if authors are making the same mistakes that the music industry did with Napster and kazaa. Using AI has led to more book purchases for me. If I discover and enjoy a book via AI I'm more inclined to buy it. The cats out of the bag, so pet him.

Watching the last of the WWII veterans pass away brings me great sadness. Growing up they were always these men and women of such great legend it felt like they would be around forever.

The difference is that China has a dictator who needs to continually prove to the Chinese people why they shouldn't overthrow him, while the US has a dictator whose democratic election gives him the permission to do whatever the hell he wants to for 4 years.

Many of us in New England share your feelings, along with frustration and anger about feeling powerless to stop it.

Is that the RuneScape development ratio?

Nobody would question that a painting could lie, or be (literally) colored by it's creator. Photographs should be no different.

Probably a good number are scalpers, but also some really disorganized people too. You can get stuck with extra theme camp tickets if you're not careful.

If you're part of a theme camp you normally buy as many tickets as youre allotted during the theme camp sale. This sale happens before the public one and the reason you buy as many as you can is because for the last 10 years getting a ticket in the public sale is a lottery. After the public sale you normally redistribute your extra tickets to people who want to camp with you.

The public sale this year was probably pretty easy to get tickets, so people might be stuck with theme camp tickets. Also, BM delayed mailing physical tickets this year to try and boost sales during their final OMG sale. BM did their best to try and screw people too.

Are you implying that living in the suburbs is racist?

Great. The super rich can and should donate their after tax money to the charities of their choosing. The rest of us should work on creating efficient and effective government programs so that tax dollars go to where we vote them to.

I'm curious but why do you think you're not qualified to say the rich shouldn't pay more, but still feel qualified to say these programs are diversions that won't do any good?

There will always be a best workout I'm not doing.

Target, at least around here is doing whatever it can to keep your from coming into the store. Sometimes the prices are higher than if you did a pickup, the store is a disorganized disaster and the checkout lines are massive. Target is no better than Walmart these days.

I have been wondering this myself. I am getting repeated email from Firestone and their unsubscribe webpage is completely broken. The 'submit' button doesn't work and the check boxes are actually just text inputs.

Thats great that we both agree that we want safe streets and value autonomy! Glad I could change your mind. Now let's work on incentivizing people who don't drive safely to do so without impacting the liberties of those who do.
