Doesn't sound like a complete diet

But more important, the power not to investigate people. Wink wink

And on top of that, it's malleable, changeable.

And is also a spectrum. Most people would probably be bi, if social pressure didn't exist. It's honestly weird to think that anyone would be 100.00% gay or straight.

Bi erasure comes in all flavours. Gay guys around me also often don't believe guys can be really bi, just gay in denial, or closeted gays living a straight life. The B in LGBT+ might as well be the bigotry in the community for how prevalent it is.

You should put as much distance from this fella as possible...

Magic is just stuff we don't know but don't care to know :)

This is something that I noticed is hard to understand to most people. My SO got served a video of the double slit experiment and thought it was like magic, until I tried to explain to him that at this scale, "observing" doesn't just mean looking at it. Observation makes you part of the system and causes the system to change.

Imagine you kicked a partner in the neck while sleeping. That would be fun.

There's definitely a spectrum, but I would hope creators themselves could do that.

Yes, absolutely, but we also preserve everything because separating the wheat from the chaff is too much work. For example, most people store all the pictures they take because it's easier than selecting the ones we might want later. But we kmow some of them are useless.

I want to support tuxedo, as an European brand, but the last one I bought had such a shitty screen that got worse and worse over the years. They seem to have improved the hardware somewhat but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

Sure, but I have accumulated far too many over the years to do this... Some channels post a video per year, others 5 per week.

My subscriptions feed is not useful because just because I'm subscribed, doesn't mean I want to watch all videos from that channel. But you can just dismiss new videos like in n email inbox.

I've been thinking for a long time to get a list of all rss feeds of my subscriptions but I never got around to do that. Wish there was a tool to do that for me 🥹

At some point I was really disillusioned by YouTube and I tried really hard to curate a list of interested channels. But YouTube fought extremely hard against users interests and completely broke YouTube. I have several subscriptions that get buried and forgotten because YouTube refuses to recommend them to me.

The solution would be simple, an inbox of videos, rss style. But that's not in YouTube's interest.

True but at the dawn of computing we were too naïve. We couldn't imagine people would record everything.

Eh. The Internet is too full of useless crap thst costs energy to keep alive. No one needs endless swathes of boring videos. If there are some valuable recordings there, then they can preserve those.

That's exactly the other meaning I described. In Portuguese it was/is used to separate the vowels so they are not pronounced together.

Well, my point is that it's not considered a u, and Austrian and Swiss don't use it.

Also, fun fact, some romance languages like French and Brazilian Portuguese have an identical diacritic to umlaut but it's different. It's meant to mean the vowel is separate (like in the word naïve)

Für is short for fuer. The umlauts are tiny "e" on top of the letters
