Pretty sure people though that in the 1910s, then again in the 1940s, then a few times in the 70s/80s, and now seems like a persistent feeling over the last 10-20 years or so.

Eventually we'll be right, but humans as a group seem to have incredibly bleak outlooks.

To me (anecdotally at least) it seems like the majority of the views reaction videos get are from existing fans of the content. I'm sure a portion won't be but for me I quote enjoy watching someone discover and enjoy the things I enjoy, it's a lesser version of watching your friend listen to the song you recommended and enjoying it.

I've watched a few "hip hop artist reacts to rock music" type channels over the years and it's mainly because I enjoy seeing someone be surprised by the things that surprised or excited me as a kid.

I've got no issue with react content myself, even if it doesnt take much skill to create. Shit TV and film has existed as long as TV and film and it's always had a place, is anyone surprised youtube has oodles of it too?

Hey now, there were at least 2 black characters!

And Dean Thomas is the only example in the book of a child whose dad left his mum to raise him alone.

Smashed it JK.

I think she's since tried to walk that back by saying he left to protect them and was eventually murdered by death eaters.

Maybe put that bit in the book eh?

Can I interest you in everything, all of the time?

Has anyone ever really believed that? It became very apparent very quickly that their MO was getting customers to buy only Apple products and then to replace them as often as they could get away with.

By not active I mean not posting, the original mod handed it over to someone else who posted that day that they would appoint a few mods to help manage it and that was their last comment in lemmy. I've asked for an update but seems like they've stopped using the site.

The community itself is still manageable to be fair, I'd just like to ensure there are some mods to keep things going. Might make no difference at all to the content, but as the only one has gone awol I thought it'd be good to have some active posters take the mantle instead.

Some people up north do I believe, I had a mate in uni from Manchester who would use pants for trousers but the majority think underwear.

Generally it's kind of a childish term for underwear, and usually you'd hear people referring to boxers/briefs/bra/etc.

Yes that what Mr blott was getting at I think. Pants are underwear in the UK

For underwear...?

Yeah I don't mean survivable. I was thinking about the implication from the comment that sugar is this horrific substance which is prone to abuse and should be avoided at all costs.

If the point is for refined sugar then I'm with them. If they're talking about sugar as a whole though, then it would be unhealthy to go for a week without any.

What a strange choice to make. I don't remember that ever being on mine but I'm not using it all that much so might have just not noticed to be fair.

I'm pretty addicted to oxygen at this point to be fair....

Directly?

Are you just talking about refined sugar or are you including natural sugar in that too?

Is it even possible to eat healthily for a week with no sugar?

I feel like if I'm allowed fruit it'd be pretty easy tbh.

Cats didn't domesticate themselves by being fed directly by humans. But humans still brought the food because humans bring rats and mice with them, cats stuck around for the greater volume of prey.

And the scritches, obviously.

I have no idea what napster offers, does it have the same amount of music and family plans available?

Not normin but I've never had a problem either. Here's the screen I get when I open a playlist, can toggle between shuffle, smart shuffle and normal to the left of the play button.

Does yours look different?

I've seen this mentioned a few times but in the UK we must have a different formula or something because I don't think I've ever failed to get the wrapper off cleanly when I've had them.

You get so used to reading billion that sometimes you forget just how many 0s that is. Fuck me.
