I’m not trying to be pedantic, but how is it apples and oranges? Both are media delivery systems that are fine tuned to manipulate your opinion. The internet is more fine tuned for individual targeting, but both systems are designed to be exploitative of viewers.
The mainstream media and those who follow it have been confidently incorrect about the state of reality for 10 years or more now—they haven’t proven themselves to be any better than the internet for a source of truth.
Why do you think a parent is in charge of the TV? Algorithms and statistics are determining that schedule too. Even the ads you see on there are targeted towards your area and demographic.
Now they can be parked in front of traditional television like Millennials and Gen X.
I live for it. Watching Hank Yoo disappear into the darkness of a bush under the blows of a Korean boxer was one of the greatest moments of 2024 for me.
This brings me much joy. For those who aren’t down the IRL streaming rabbit hole, this guy is a villain. Everybody hates him. We’ve all been waiting for a country to give him what he deserves.
The article failed to mention that the only streaming platform that will host him is YouTube! Google acts like they are the classy one of the bunch, but they have literal criminals broadcasting their activity on there. Look no further than Mr. Based.
I would argue that “a Hector” is a recognizable Hispanic trope in a similar fashion to how “a Karen” is an American one.
It’s called getting type cast.
That is my point. I didn’t stay home, I’ve been fighting the good fight, and your generality about leftists enabling this is off base.
I like to play around with numbers. Donald Trump is now the 45th and 47th president.
4+5=9
4+7=11
I like rizz. I think it will stick.
From how it was described, I think it happens when you don’t watch something on their channel for a long time, either by the creator not uploading new stuff or the viewer not keeping up.
The problem was noticed by people trying to follow users like OnlyUseMeBlade who is unstable and has only been posting once every six months or so, but there is still a lot of interest about his potential return.
Primary schooling was one of the worse experiences in my life, and I was lucky enough to go to private schools with good educational programs. Other than incarceration, it is one of the only times in your life that you are legally detained somewhere against your will.
Furthermore, the things we choose to teach are so far removed from practical life skills that it all feels like a performance that is leading to a brick wall in the end. The fact that there is no standard class for budgeting, cooking, taxes, job hunting, and basic home repair in school really shows how much they actually care about your future success.
School in America is a time suck for kids so their parents can work longer.
Have you considered a sex therapist? Sometimes they are better at hearing clues as to what the problem is since they have experience talking to a lot of couples.
It doesn’t have to be the kind you get naked in front of either, just an intimacy therapist that you can both safely describe your experiences to.
It may be more on her than on you. I can have trouble orgasming during sex, but it is largely because I don’t relax correctly in the moment. Too many thoughts about performing in my head combined with muscles that are too tensed.
Therapy has helped a lot more than any technique. If she wants to work on this for herself, maybe she should try it. If this is just your insecurity showing, you should probably drop it and help her finish off with toys.
Pretty sure YouTube has started unsubscribing people after long inactivity. I know some people have complained that it is difficult to follow infrequent contributors due to that now.
That’s why this has been this way forever—it’s pretty dope for you if you are the one making profit while others clean your shit.
The choice is to start a similar community here and start siphoning users.
Agree to disagree, I guess. In my opinion, it is echo chambers that are the biggest danger, and TV is a bigger echo chamber than the internet.
There are leftist and activist websites you can visit if you choose. Platforms like Facebook and YouTube have a diverse set of creators you can watch, even if they arent pushed by the algorithm. There is no major leftist or activist news organization on American television, and they tolerate no opposing viewpoints on their respective channels.
