There are lots of different things that are deleted if you look at other people's experiences with the same thing online. Reasonable criticism of governments or corporations and industries, referencing scientific studies, etc. It does not say anything the fact that I'm asking for a solution to this issue and I'm not interested in starting a debate here over the exact content that's being removed. It does not breach any rules, it's unproblematic, and should be allowed. If you don't have a solution, then thanks but I'm not here to discuss why you don't think we should be allowed to say certain things.

I have almost given up commenting at all. But I use YouTube and watch videos, read comments, and often want to say something. We should be able to. Hopefully someone knows the answer. I already saw a recommendation from someone on Reddit to use certain alternate characters but they didn't specify what and they still aren't working for me so I'm looking for a specific text format that remains undeleted.

It's not even just words. It's phrases that don't contain any bad language at all. If you don't know you don't know. They're silencing free speech. And like I said, completely sensible things that there's no reason to delete, while toxic comments and foul language remain undeleted.

No it's not the creators. It's YouTube itself. Can absolutely confirm this. Probably at least mostly automated bots removing comments.

I have a friend who moved to America for a short time then when they returned, they had an American accent. But people didn't believe it and mocked them saying "that's not your real accent". I'm kind of worried the same will happen for me..

We're all just choosing to spend our time staring at pixels on a screen.

So true lol. Slightly unrelated but I had an epiphany once that we use our touch devices so frequently, and of course we're interacting with data in different ways, but physically we're just sliding our fingers around on a pane of glass with lights behind it all the time. Must look so weird to monkeys 😂

When I game... I game hard 😎

No sound in public though, I would never be that obnoxious (or confident lol, too embarrassing)

I'd love some console alternatives to certain classic mobile games for me, do you know of any good dual-stick shooters (like Minigore or Guerrilla Bob), or swordfight/strategic combat type games like the style of Infinity Blade/Epoch/Dark Meadow?

I should note I always love 3D graphics and can barely play any 2-dimensional games

But I enjoy those mobile-only games 😅 How would I play them otherwise? And I think touch interfaces allow for some gameplay you wouldn't ever get anywhere else, like swipe actions and multi-finger gestures, which you can see in games like Infinity Blade or Fruit Ninja (or even True Skate, which seems to have quite a following, not my fave personally but I can't imagine that on any other device)

Also, wet hands, texting someone while im in the shower. Leave the phone on the table after just managing to compose and send a text and cant click out of the chat or turn off the screen. No bueno

Thanks, but how silly is that!. I only noticed it recently but the idea is bugging me. It feels like I have to close the chat as soon as I look away from it. I don't need that kind of "stress".

Use case example: You're busy doing something, but you send a message to someone and leave the chat open because you can't close it at that second. You look away from your phone and continue what you were doing. A message comes through but because the chat is open, you don't hear a sound. Then you get back to your phone 30 minutes later, and find that the person had already replied to you 27 minutes ago. If the sound still played even while the chat was open, you would have stopped what you were doing and responded to them as soon as you got their message.

Meh, too much story for me. I know there's some gameplay, but it's a lot of walking around while just observing stuff happening, too much for my liking.

The Last of Us, The Walking Dead game and other Telltale games, Uncharted, The Witcher, God of War, and I guess it's just a general trend I feel. A lot of games seem to focus on story-driven elements more than gameplay, with an obsession around graphics and story more than anything else (see what Mohamed Enieb says on Twitter, for example).

And I guess this is somewhat separate, but... why don't trailers show any gameplay, just cinematic stuff? I don't play games for the visuals or story personally, I just want good gameplay. I find it increasingly hard to find games I actually enjoy.

What happened to the likes of Ratchet & Clank, Jak series, Lost Planet, or the Halo series? Those are games with good gameplay, and I couldn't care less about the stories (or graphics).

I think quote-unquote can have the same implications, unfortunately, but good one I hadn't thought of. Maybe there's more.

Very interesting, I really would like to know more about why that happens. A few people here said their migraines went away as they got older.

I've always wondered what stomach sleepers do with their face. Like don't you end up being unable to breathe or rubbing your nose and mouth on the blankets? Also is your neck not crooked to compensate for that?

I wish I were able to sleep on stomach or back so that I could sleep symmetrically, I think it would be better for me if I could fall asleep that way. But the sleep just doesn't come... unless I'm sideways in a fetal position, and only on one side (left side).

I actually don't use any pillow (I just prefer lying flat on a mattress), could that be a problem?

I never drink caffeine, maybe I should :)

Appreciate your advice, but sometimes I'd actually rather go on little sleep if I were able to function properly. The pursuit of actually getting proper sleep is sort of a whole different ball game hahah, but sometimes I'd rather not try to if that makes sense, so that I have more hours to get things done.

I'm sorry you were going through that, I take it by your use of past tense you no longer have that issue? If so I don't suppose you know what could have fixed it? Hope you're doing better now :)
