whoops, thx

thx

Well, its most of the normal music and then a bunch of pirated music. It’s like YT music but with a better “Start Radio” button.

Soundcloud might be an alternative worth looking into. For the music I tend to search for, I find I’m more likely to find it on Soundcloud, and it can take years to migrate from SC to YTM.

While YTM and SC were both $10, putting up with the worse platform was a reasonable price for no YT ads. Now that the grandfathering is ending and the price is jumping to $14, for US folks, I’m feeling the pressure to migrate.

Spotify has invested significant $$ in upgrading their platform.

YTM lets you access user-uploaded content. With that comes more in the way of remixes and Indy artists. The platform itself is pretty dogshit, though.

The article became increasingly redundant as it continued. The crux seems to be Google isn’t their employer. These workers work for a subcontractor, Cognizant. Cognizant performs services for YouTube Music.

Cognizant is refusing to bargain citing the ongoing relevant litigation* between its employees and Google.

• I’m not sure what the legal process is called for union claims.

Some of the employees are striking for 1 day.

It does make sense. And it is so so easy to get tangled.

Science isn’t a religion. It’s a process. Just because it’s called a vaccine doesn’t mean its safe. You can be anti-this-particular-vaccine without being anti-all-vaccines.

(Edit - I misremembered what was hinky. For posterity, I’m restructuring my comment and preserving the bad take struck out below.)

In the case of the covid vaccines, that process was intentionally minimized as to bring the vaccine to market faster.

The vaccine did have benefits. It also had complications

that instead of being found out in trials were found out after release.

“an inverse vaccine”

Oh good, at least they didn’t choose a name that’s gonna cause confusion.

TIL you can wait until you have the disease to take the vaccine. So if my kid gets polio, I’ll give them the vaccine then, but I don’t want to risk anything bad happening so I’ll wait. I’m glad I did my research.

Ohh. /That/ Ram Ranch.

The summary did that thing like when FBI agents find a 800 TB harddrive containing a possibly CSAM photo and the media says they found 800 TB of CSAM.

Did he take a conversation with a sub-18 year old to a sexual place? (or not excuse himself from an email gone sexual with someone under age?) I literally mean yes he did take it sexual or no he did not take it sexual or It was not clear from the messages.

There is a difference from acknowledging sex is a thing and propositioning a teenager for sex, but at this point, I don’t care. If you are a man or a woman, etc., just devalue the experience of younger people and don’t talk to them. They’ll be fine with it eventually.

I log on about one a week. I forgot why I showed up. I replied to replies and then started scrolling.

Goddamn it. I came here do do something. Fuck.

Dude. Just look at the referenced image. It is an image of text.

It looks like tabs paired with sheet music. Tabs are literal instructions for string instrument players of which fret to use instead of which note.

BUT instead of the sheet music being sheet music, it is N64 inputs. But the tabs I was working off of continued past the classic inputs. The sheet music devolves into PS inputs and Navi and The-Fucking-Owl inputs. My thinking was, if you could have played those notes with an n64 controller, you would have, but they required different buttons.

The words sheet and shit sound similar. I’m clearly not very creative, so I reversed their order for the title.

Do you see now? Is it funny yet?

No? Maybe because it’s not a good joke.

Why 22 years? I tried reading the article, but they only showed two sentences at a time separated by full screen ads.

Why is this guy 22 years and others 1-3 years?

They have a video ad first that doesn’t transition to the headlined video clip. The clip is at the bottom, and it sucks. Here’s the article.

Ted Cruz rages against non-existent Biden beer limit in viral clip The Texas senator engaged in a beer-swigging on-camera stunt this week in response to a made-up federal policy limiting alcohol consumption.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz railed against the Biden administration earlier this week for imposing a strict limit on Americans’ alcohol consumption in a now-viral clip—even though no such policy exists.

The saga began when Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Biden’s White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre if the president planned to “limit Americans to two beers a week.” Jean-Pierre, who appeared baffled by the question, laughed and declined to comment.

The question apparently came from comments made by Dr. George Koob, director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, during an interview with the Daily Mail last week, in which Koob said the U.S. might change it’s recommended weekly alcohol intake to two drinks per week. Current recommendations advise men to limit themselves to two drinks a day and women to stick to one.

For Cruz and the conservative mediasphere, however, these comments were enough to conjure the right’s latest hand-wringing, they’re-coming-for-your-freedoms moral panic.

“What is it with liberals that want to control every damn aspect of your life?” Cruz raged in his Newsmax interview. “Now these idiots have come out and said, ‘drink two beers a week,’ that’s their guideline,” Cruz continued, before reaching for a bottle of beer and taking a drink on camera. “Well, I’ve got to tell you, if they want us to drink two beers a week, frankly they can kiss my ass!”

Cruz cranked the top off a Shiner Bock beer and chucked the cap on the ground in theatrical defiance before taking a swig. Behind him, a huddle of men dressed in cowboy hats and plaid flannel shirts followed suit, drinking their beers.

On Wednesday night, the senator posted the clip on X, formerly known as Twitter, repeating his own lines from the interview in the caption for his 6.1 million followers. “What is it with liberals and wanting to control every damn aspect of your life? If they want us to drink two beers a week, frankly they can kiss my ass.”

Cruz appears to have stepped up his misinformation game on X in the past few weeks: Wednesday’s nonsense diatribe against a non-existent Biden beer limit comes a few days after the senator reposted misinformation about the southern border wall, presenting a Trump-era policy as a Biden-imposed change. About a week before that, Cruz shared a well-known fake image from 2011 of a shark swimming in California floodwaters.

Who cares? Like really.
