That’s fair. If you have even the slightest appreciation for aviation, I really do recommend Mentour Pilot. His video recently about the LionAir 737-MAX8 crash was phenomenal, and a perfect example. Extremely clickbait-y title and thumbnail, but a rock-solid hour-long dive into the final report, including details of the preceding flights.

One of the greatest channels on YouTube, in terms of quality content, is Mentour Pilot (and his other channel, Mentour Now). He releases videos weekly, I think. They’re remarkably high production value, well-researched, well-written, informative, and fascinating.

His thumbnails and many of his titles are awful. Clickbait, capitalization, arrows pointing at stuff, etc.

There are of course people who do the clickbait stuff and make terrible content.

There are people who don’t do the clickbait stuff, some of whom make good content and some who make terrible content.

Whether you try to get as much value from the platform as you can doesn’t indicate the quality of your work. Some people play the game, some don’t.

How else are people at religious colleges with internet filters supposed to masturbate?

Of course they will, The Holy Algorithm loves that stuff. It’s why even some respectable creators have to stoop to that frustrating nonsense.

Have you tried therapy? Judging by the comments in here, you sound depressed. And not without reason! Therapy can really help.

For what it’s worth, choosing the T-Mobile option wouldn’t lock it to T-Mobile. It just includes some extra setup stuff, IIRC. If you’re buying it from Apple it isn’t carrier locked (with the exception of an AT&T installment plan, not sure if they still offer that).

If you’re buying it from Apple it isn’t carrier locked. The carrier options on their page just help get your sim ported over or something. They explain this on the site, the only time it’s carrier locked is if you do the AT&T installment plan.

Shhhh, you’ll derail a perfectly good hate-train with that kind of information.

Represents‽ No they are the body and blood of santa

Bah. You Catholics and your Transubstantiation, and the Evangelicals and their Memorialism, are both wrong.

The body and blood of Santa are present in, with, and under the cookies and milk.

I think most are going with hydrogen fuel cell rather than ICE. It’s more efficient, if also more boring.

I love the idea. I’m not sure how much of it was intended by Frank Baum, but it’s cool how well it lines up.

Here’s a write-up about it.

Fair enough, Apple has some pretty fucking terrible anti-consumer behavior. Privacy is just one of the few things they do well.

He’s old enough that I have to imagine his SSN ends in like, -0005 or something.

Why would you use iOS if you care about privacy?

Because it’s far better for privacy than any Google-Play-Services-ridden version of Android, and sometimes in life you don’t want to have to deal with custom ROMs anymore.

But also that’s an exceptionally dumb question, because the implication is that privacy can’t matter to people who don’t go to the same precise lengths someone else does.

I dunno, Fight Club?

In my neighborhood AT&T is offering gigabit fiber-to-the-house for $80/month, IIRC. Been meaning to switch to it, actually.

Edit: my point being, as long as they aren’t colluding to not compete with one another, you can get much better rates.

To me in Michigan, I also find those rates horrifyingly terrible, expensive, and inexplicably capped.

But here we have a few options for ISPs. In places where they don’t really compete with each other, you can get absurdly terrible plans. And it’s perfectly legal because fuck you, consumer, that’s why.

Times Square M&M store. If you don’t live near NYC, well whose fault is that?

I actually don’t disagree. That’s certainly the connotation that comes with “terrorism.”

It’s also not how the legal definition works, unfortunately, which is just vague enough to let the FBI decide what is and isn’t terrorism based on how they feel about something. As I understand it, anyway. And since what he did falls under the legal definition, they can charge him with it.
