It’s more so that the uploader gets the most watch time and engagement and therefore the biggest paycheck per video.

BTW, down voting is seen as engagement and prioritized just the same as up voting. Doesn’t matter which button you’re pushing as long as it’s on the platform.

They could also provide the cheaper alternative, generating revenue for the government, providing goods at a discount and forcing corporations to match prices.

Like that’ll happen, though.

Ends in XcQ - link stays blue.

I’ll start worrying about the “population crisis” when there are no more orphans because they’ve all been adopted.

The simpler the ‘fact’, the more likely it is to be an oversimplification and largely untrue.

In this example, you have to overlook any time someone became pregnant without consent. They never chose it to begin with, so blaming them for “not taking responsibility” for something they never wanted is oversimplifying a complicated subject to the point of falsehood.

It’s also especially funny how often this argument comes from people who, in the same breath, will talk about their savior being “of virgin birth”. You can’t argue that chastity works for everyone when it didn’t work for Mary.

It’s probably assuming that you’re also getting fries, a drink and an ice cream cone each or something. That simply cannot be enough.

Yeah, and they act like learning about a new skin cream on the street is going to be subjected to the same level of scrutiny as learning about a new study on “gun bans”, even though people have been studying this for decades and the results largely don’t change, only the public perception of them.

It’s like if they showed people a new study for “Earth gravity” vs “Moon gravity” and act surprised when people don’t immediately catch on when their numbers say the moon makes you weigh more. You wouldn’t be expecting that result OR trust a random person on the street to change your view of gravity with a chart of 4 numbers.

Yes, they found bias. Cool.

Alternate title: A single “study” presented from someone on the street is typically not enough to change anyone’s perspective on a subject, especially if that “study” presents “facts” that are contradictory to the listener’s previous knowledge.

Humans aren’t rational. Humans are rationalizing. If someone on the street giving you a basic chart with 4 numbers on it is enough to change your mind, you likely didn’t have much of an opinion to begin with.

Seriously. Someone never clicked on the “you are an idiot” popup that auto-played music, moved around the screen, prevented task manager from opening and cloned itself if it was closed.

I think what will hurt worse is that the genocide is still talking place and his sacrifice didn’t move the needle as much as he would have expected.

This has the same energy as people who think every queer person is either a butch lesbian or an effeminate gay guy. You can’t know unless they tell/show you, so if you don’t ask, the only people you’ll see are ‘obvious’ already.

It’s just confirmation bias.

The original creator of the video never named the restaurant and also has since deleted the video. I can’t find any explanation or followup from her, so this is likely a fake story.

Hyper-detailed foreground with a blurry background and a subject matter that falls into the uncanny valley? Yeah, that all checks out.

E2A: Zoom in on smaller sections and it becomes more obvious. Objects that should be in the same depth of field have different levels of blur, patterns don’t follow rules, it looks like the jacket has buttons, but half of a zipper on one side? There’s a lot of little things.

Around 2% of your DNA comes from Neanderthals. If we were scared off by them, it wouldn’t have been for too long before we decided the sex was worth it.

Or don’t twist an ankle having to trek up and down hills without sidewalks. And if you have bad knees, that goes double.

About a year after it came out, I was singing along with it during a depressive episode and realized ‘seven’ wasn’t accurate anymore. It freaked me out, but I realized that part of the nature of the song is the impending doom, and I have to change the lyrics when I get to that part.

…Four more to go.

Hot damn, this is a lot of condescension for the shittiest “both sides” take.

Cool.

The process of synthesizing it is inefficient and expensive. Companies have gone bankrupt trying to make it profitable, so it really doesn’t seem like that’s an answer here, especially when we have cars that don’t require any such fuel already on the roads.

Sure seems easier.

You should act like it, then.
