It’s still a pretty young technology, and it took a few years to understand the impacts of it. We’ve had them long enough now to be able to see how detrimental they have been to the first generation using them.

I see Simone Giertz, I click. She remains one of the best people on YouTube.

Nah, it’s just incredibly rude and obnoxious to imply a person is a sex pest just because you’re too lazy or incompetent to spend ten seconds on a search engine.

George Carlin is a goddamned philosopher saint compared to the turdlet you named. Educate yourself, man!

Whatever you think of the results or the implications, it’s hard to deny that it is in fact interesting. People downvoting you for saying so ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Carlin’s great wisdom is in understanding that how things are is the greatest joke of all.

One of the 20th Century’s greatest popular philosophers.

Lol, the headline makes it sound like they were just so belligerent about being told to stop taking pictures of themselves that they flipped the boat out of spite.

There should be a community for mods to shame the users they regulate. Anonymously, of course. All usernames would be obscured.

Or Black Friday either.

In fact, if a store is telling you to shop there, that’s good reason to not.

This feels like early internet content, and not in a good way.

I recommend watching her videos on .5 speed. They almost sound like a normal person talking.

Gorgeous.

Gosh I hope so. At least they’ll be entertaining while they silently plot our overthrow.

Raw broccoli from the grocery store is just wrong. But fresh from a garden, sometimes with blossoms in it? That’s good stuff on a summer day.

Here’s a thought: if you’re so worried about “fueling the culture war”, stay out of it and shut the fuck up. Like it or not, a comment like this is taking a side in it, and it’s not the right one.

To shallow people, maybe.

Is there no sound on this for anyone else? I checked other videos and they’re fine. Wonder if this got copyright-algorithmed.

Edit: Nevermind, it’s just all in the left channel for some reason.

Celebrity. Gossip. Is. Not. News.

Dime Store Adventures is great.

I’ve always believed it has something to do with the way breathing is tied into both involuntary and voluntary muscle contractions. You can of course control your breathing, but if you forget about it entirely, you’ll just keep doing it automatically without thinking.

Because your diaphragm is a crucial part of that loop, it can receive signals from the conscious part of your brain as well as the autonomous side of your nervous system that keeps things running when the lights are out upstairs. But the brain - having evolved over millions of years rather than being currently designed - works in strange ways, and getting a conscious signal to actually move to that specific nerve group can take some mental trickery.
