Okay, but he didn’t need to make a whole video just to pitch his own detergent powder.
Just a nerd who migrated from kbin(dot)social.

Frankly, it feels like he’s sold out. Every one of his recent videos seems like a way to sell something rather than just an effort to educate or highlight something neat.


Between this and the socks, I really feel like Alec has gone downhill lately.


Do mean, “what controversial topic would I be correct about”, or do you mean, “what can i make the other person shut up about”? Because those are different skills, and it’s the reason why politicians win over the public and scientists get derided.
At that point, you might as well just collect all your stuff and head for the door.
Three? More like three hundred.


Nope. There’s no solidarity in America anymore.


Okay, and? Yes, the 93 bombing was years before, but terrorism wasn’t going away. Just because none of us normal folks thought about it didn’t mean it was something to avoid insuring against. Think about this - the WTC had subway access too. Terrorist attacks in subways may not be common, but they’re possible. Insurance isn’t about what “is”, it’s about what might be.


I will highlight that the WTC had already been bombed once before, and had been hit by a Cessna. Terrorism is part of the insurance for any large building, especially one that had already been the site of a confirmed terrorist attack.
Those aren’t my initials, care to spin the letter wheels again?
Bona fide occupational qualification. Basically the things a lawyer or HR person looks at to say whether a candidate was hired or someone was fired for a valid reason.
DQ’ed due to including a photo which is inviting discrimination. Also DQ’ed due to lack of statement of applicable skills to BFOQs, And, no references.
Cute idea, but bad formatting. If you want to do something like this:


Oh, she’s going to take up her father’s heritage? What’s next, the younger sister trying to become an Olympic runner?
Exactly where I was going.
Or drug addiction.


I mean, I don’t expect people to want to be around me, because by and large I don’t like being around them in non-structured environments. So boardgames and RPGs help. Hence, bring the community.


Understanding that I never progressed beyond the meaning of the original forum in terms of “involuntarily celibate”, my biggest advice would be to keep going. Keep doing the things that draw in the community and cause people to want to be around me.
I’d also give myself a few hundred massive warnings about the pandemic, and how not to judge my actions by those of others during a global crisis.
Sounds like he was trying to do a version of that experiment with the Russian foxes, where breeding the most social and obedient ones together actually did produce animals who were more inclined to be obedient and social with humans. The difference is that whatever humanity is, we’re some of the ones who were kicked out to become the control group while the pure strain is maintained in the garden. After all, there were other humans so that Cain could take a wife, so… there’s that. And we wrote it down, so we’re the winners compared to Neanderthal or Denisovan.


I prefer Flatpak
Olive Garden might just be as bad as Uber, where loading it for a short time drains an inordinate amount of battery.
