@moz the 5th tile definitely recommends in-line with your tastes, but it's always toxic. Not sure if it does that on Premium, but definitely free there's a 5th tile. I see it on my kids' computers, and I need to explain what it is to them at some stage

After having been on YouTube for well over a decade, I've noticed some of the dark patterns.

One is the 5th video tile on your "Home" (not including ad tiles, I block ads).

It's the toxic tile. The one with the low view (<1000), low quality, possibly racist, videos.

Never click the 5th video tile.

I just saw The Project turn up in that tile 😆

@GossiTheDog I get that the consumer gear is shite, and built like Swiss cheese, but how many in that price range aren't?

Commercial gear, though, seems fairly rock solid

Quiche done;

Asparagus, bacon, and gruyere

Yes, you could say I really like Cyberpunk 2077

@FlashMobOfOne yeh, Punisher is a great character for defence, harder to get going in offence.

I was rather enjoying Scarlet Witch. Some serious early Symmetra vibes

@FlashMobOfOne yeh, it's really not. Even with long games, people refill quickly for quick play.

I get penalties for competitive, but my daughter got a 15 minute penality because I told her to come have dinner 🙄

It wasn't so bad before they patched it so you have to be logged in for it to count down

@FlashMobOfOne it's quite fun, but very buggy, and the "game leave" punishment for quick play is extreme. Even my daughter is upset by it

@slothrop not sure how to help with that one. Rice with furikake is a great "can't be fucked" lunch, but you have to be prepared 😖

5 cops cars still, and I'm just sitting here smoking my legal weed

@fuchsi @slothrop it's how I survive: bribery and extortion. Everything else fails

I am a genius.

I'm trading crispy pork belly tacos for baskets of clothes folded.

The kids are not impressed at the "one basket to one taco" rate, though.

Times are tough 🤷

I see Americans still in the "let's highlight how bad these people are and form arguments" stage, and all I can think is:

These people don't care about your arguments, they don't care about reasoning, they are fascists.

Unless you're singing "Bella ciao" and making resistance plans, you're going to have a bad time

Say it with me:

Israel has no right to self-defence against people they occupy. To attack those you occupy is a crime against humanity.

Palestinians have a codified right under international law to armed resistance to occupiers.

As much as war crimes were committed on Oct. 7, this does not give Israel a right to respond, let alone commit genocide.

This is how international law works. Don't like it? Find another planet to live on

@_elena @cwebber the safest choice is to not use Bluesky.

Trading one fascist run network for another is just asking for more of the same

@slothrop @Saupreiss @Melissabeartrix yeh, it's no different to when a woman tells a man a dude is "a bit creepy".

Shit guys question it, and refuse to accept it, the decent guys say "ok, I'll make sure you never have to be around them again".

A shit ally says "I'll have to figure that out for myself", a decent ally says "I believe you"

@Iris_IllEra @evacide 40 million dead on the eastern front, 19 million of which were Russian civilians, it's pretty easy to see why

@jwz right on brother.

Take pleasure in blocking shit cunts!

@jillL yep, if you saw my toot earlier, AJ covered it, and it's clear the Israelis decided to riot against any Palestinian imagery.

Screams of 1930's Germany

@evan or, you know, vote on weekends like we do in Australia.

Make a day of it with an American version of the sausage sizzle and cake stalls
