I hate how YouTube seems to intentionally show salacious ads if you opt out of ad personalization. I get a ton of Temu spam despite not purchasing anything from that app or even having it on my phone, and the ads themselves usually feature scantily-clad women that takes up 70% of the screen. I've made a habit of just opening up the comments section and keeping them open the entire duration of the video. It really feels like YouTube/Google/Alphabet is saying "oh, you don't want people around you to think you're a perv? Let us collect more data about you so you can save face in public when you use our app at the gym or at work."

And to be fair, that whole narwhal bacon thing was a weird fad of internet culture as a whole, not just on Reddit (think pre-2014 internet imo)

If I had a nickel for every time I saw an interrobang today I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice right?

Immortality. If you go to the bottom of the ocean or space without protection your muscles won't get any more oxygen and you'll get rigor mortis and basically be stuck forever.

There has been nothing but silence from Unity, other than a very poor attempt at clarifying details in the plan, ignoring the overwhelming awfulness of the entire thing. There was supposed to be an all-hands meeting at Unity on Thursday, but this was cancelled due to death threats according to widespread reporting. It was later revealed by Polygon that the threats originated from a Unity employee.

Yikes. Internal quarrels are never a good sign

I need to find an offline hobby, something that doesn't involve a screen

You enjoy Linux to freely use your machine. I use it to make the cow say funny thing. We are not the same.

Weakest of the season so far, imo. A Yelp joke in 2023? Surprised they didn't do a made-up coin name like another user pointed out, using the actual name just immediately dates it (anyone remember the Amazon stock joke?). Good plot idea, kinda meh execution. I would've preferred the episode keeping the characters together instead of splitting up, a lot of this show is the dialogue bouncing off one another, but when everyone's doing their own thing it just devolves into "well this is weird" sort of snarky commentary about the current situation.
