I never sign in, I delete cookies everytime my browser quits, but Youtube keeps pushing right-wing, incel bullshit at me

I guess it shouldn’t bother me, after all I try my best to avoid watching anything on youtube that I didn’t go there to watch in the first place but nevertheless, it’s hard not to see the clickbaity thumbnails for suggested videos to the right of the one I’m watching, and also, when I’m researching something it’s...

pikasaurX4,

Yeah, it’s exactly this. If you have no data/cookies/account history then you’re getting the default which is all rage bait, frustrating, polarizing stuff. If you want to see stuff you like fed directly to you, you have to give them some data

pikasaurX4,

Not “boo boo beep bop?”

pikasaurX4,

This drives me up the wall. Any time I point this out, the AI fanboys are so quick to say “well, that’s v3.x. If you try on 4.x it’s actually much better.” Like, sure it is. These things are really good at sounding like they know what they’re talking about, but they will just lie. Especially any time numbers or math are involved. I’ve had a chat bot tell me things like 10+3=15. And like you pointed out, if you call it out, it always says “oh my bad” and then just lies some more or doubles down. It would be cool if they could be used to teach things, but I’ve tried it for learning the rules to games, but it will just lie and fill in important numbers with other, similar numbers and present it as completely factual. So if I ever used it for something I truly didn’t know about, I wouldn’t be able to trust anything it said

Jesus, no it doesn’t. These media outlets want nothing more than to put the word “Pokémon” in their headlines to drive clicks. It’s as little like Pokémon as the game has always been

Heart of Glass?

    pikasaurX4,

    I would honestly recommend sports anime like Haikyuu or Prince of Tennis for this kind of thing. Sports anime always lean really hard into the mental game and you’ll have whole scenes playing out in freeze frame or slow-mo while characters painstakingly walk through their plans. I’m a sucker for that kind of thing

    pikasaurX4,

    Me: “Is this Big O?”

    It is.

    I always loved the mystery that this show managed to capture when I was a kid. Especially catching an episode here or there on cable TV. It often meant missing key plot points or not understanding how everything fit together. Watched it through as an adult and I still really like it. I won’t spoil the ending, but it’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen. Not that it’s over the top, but the absurdity of it is something I still reference to this day.

    Also the phone ringing to tell you the name of the next episode is burned into my brain

    pikasaurX4,

    Any time you notice something like that, a wizard did it

    pikasaurX4, (edited )

    “Be real” how? I’m legit confused what point you are making. “Using someone’s work for free” doesn’t mean the same as “taking someone’s work and selling it as your own.” When you buy a shirt, you can put your own art on it, but if the shirt company uses your design without credit or consent to sell more shirts, that’s a bit sketchy, no?

    I’m gonna “be real” with you, it doesn’t sound like you support modding at all

    pikasaurX4,

    Sorry. Didn’t mean to come off too strong but I’m just not catching what you were getting at. Was hoping for an explanation, not a debate. Now I’m somehow lying to myself in your eyes so I’m even more confused. Maybe you’re trolling or joking? But I guess I just won’t worry about it

    pikasaurX4,

    I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this show, but it will hit different after the loss of Toriyama.

    pikasaurX4,

    This is a PC port of the first MH Stories which was originally released on the 3DS

    pikasaurX4,

    I’ve got to recommend Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. One of the most legendary games in the series for its sheer amount of content. It might feel a bit dated if you’ve played World or Rise, but still good

    pikasaurX4, (edited )

    True, but they agree to do it because they need money. It’s like Squid Game but less extreme (I actually never saw squid game so maybe that’s a bad analogy). The system has failed these people (presumably) and he exploits their need for money in order to make himself look good and raise awareness of his brand so he can make more money too. At least I assume that’s OP’s point

    pikasaurX4, (edited )

    A fair point, but I think OP means that this guy already has the means to make a difference but chooses to dangle it in front of needy people and make them dance for it rather than tackle poverty problems from a different angle

    Not sure what OP would do with this guy’s wealth, but I’m sure there isnt a magic wand Mr Beast could wave to solve poverty even if he wanted to

    pikasaurX4, (edited )

    Well the returns he gets are the views on his videos. People love to watch people fight to survive. So he pits them against each other in order to draw eyes (and therefore advertisers) while positioning himself as a “humanitarian” making “donations” out of the goodness of his heart. Obviously it’s working because his wealth is growing, not shrinking. That’s part of what I think makes it “evil” in OP’s eyes. If you’re profiting off of it, is it really charitable?

    Edit: Oh wait, I can’t read. I see what you are saying. Disregard the above. I think you and I agree there. I don’t think it would be easy for him to just give all his money away for free because then it would be gone and people would still be poor

    I’m just trying to play devil’s advocate

    pikasaurX4,

    …what?

    I suppose the body of the post is optional in this community, but maybe take a few minutes to explain what you mean instead of just throwing a random thought out there

    pikasaurX4,

    Ah, I see. I’ve noticed several posts in this community recently that were similar, so I assume you’re just piling on to prove that the mods aren’t keeping up? It’s not offensive, at least, so I wouldn’t bother to report it, but I was just really confused lol. Now I understand that you were just shitposting to prove a point

    Tip for web designers: Converting a time you're displaying into my local time zone does not obviate the need to tell me which time zone it's in if I have no way to know whether or not you've done that.

    pikasaurX4,

    Also, if you’re going to convert the datetime to something “pretty” like “1 hour ago” or “Yesterday”, you have to let me see the actual timestamp when I hover or something.

    pikasaurX4,

    Gotta be Senshi, for me. I’m already a fan of the dwarf aesthetic, but he’s also really knowledgeable and wise. I like how he appreciates a simpler life and seems to believe in keeping a balance. It’s not what you’d expect from the classic Tolkien dwarves or even most modern depictions where they tend to be overly industrious, and I think that subversion of expectations makes him that much more likable. I also like chef characters

    pikasaurX4, (edited )

    Nice. I’ll have to check it out. I’m still a couple episodes behind and I am completely unfamiliar with the manga, but I’m sure I know the character you mean just based on the intro/outro

    pikasaurX4,

    I had a Genesis and a Dreamcast as a kid, but never a Saturn, so when I played this level I was so confused who the hell this was and what they had to do with anything lol

    pikasaurX4,

    Looks rad! Great job with the weathered/textured look. The level of detail is A++. I love the shield too
