When I was a kid, our little town was finally opening a second high school. They had us current high schoolers nominate and vote on the new high school's mascot.

We were the Broncos, our drill team was the Fillies.

The admins vetoed the mascot that won a landslide victory: Bulldogs.

troglodytis ,

Yep, we all felt the same. Though, the motivation for the landslide victory was Broncos/Fillies, Bulldogs/Bitches

troglodytis ,

Oooo, lies

Solid 1980s movie strategy

troglodytis ,

I propose YouTube make a MUCH better premium product and price it correctly. Paying for things is fine. Paying for things to get crappier? Na

Glad you enjoy it. Keep doing your thing. But are you seriously deaf to the rising chorus of complaints about YouTube? This thread contains many examples of youtube's enshitification over the few couple years. Your question feels disingenuous at best to me

troglodytis ,

The worsening of recommendations/algorithm pointing to more crap content

troglodytis ,

Price increases

troglodytis ,

The death of Google music

troglodytis ,

Inability to purchase only YouTube music

troglodytis ,

4k premium only (decision reversed due to consumer outcry)

troglodytis ,

Inability to remove shorts from homescreen (decision reversed due to consumer outcry)

Increased family plan sharing restrictions

I'm almost the exact opposite. I hear everything when I think. I don't picture 99.9% of my thoughts. I think in sounds. Not all thoughts are languages, but all thoughts are sounds. Even the very very few I have pictured. The thoughts in languages are numerous at a time and constant, as though forever lightning in bottle. I love it. It sounds kind of like the matrix looks.

troglodytis ,

You get to think in ways that other people can't. You actually have a super power. Don't sleep on that! You rock

The best I can describe it is almost always no, I hear spaces, objects, colors, etc. I can think on all my senses pretty easily except vision. I world make in 'sound' and awareness. I don't explain it well, and I do have pretty good spacial and situational awareness. I just don't think in vision.

A great 'reset button' for me is to be in a small room that is totally as dark as I can get it. Can't see my hand in front of my face after 45min dark. After a while in that space my mind will make up slashes of color. It feels like my brain running a test pattern for my eyes.

Wakko is adorable AF

troglodytis ,

Oh, nevermind then. Yall, no points can be given, this person feels it.

I'm glad you were here to discount the other posters who were enjoying it. That was a close one.

troglodytis ,

And plenty of nonbinary humans use and prefer the pronoun "he"

troglodytis ,

Please keep voting.

Would I recommend you vote differently than you say? Maybe, but so what. Just please vote, and encourage others to vote.

troglodytis ,

It should be whatever Wakko prefers. Perfectly fine for a nonbinary person to use "he".

Edit: And also, pretty sure that's another layer to the joke. Cause Wakko is just out there living his life while the world spins around him making definitions and boxes that have no bearing on how he lives.

troglodytis ,

If both x and y are broken, then it's totally unplayable.

Y'all heard it here, this person says Marvels Rivals is unplayable. Do not preorder!

troglodytis ,

Y'all heard it here, this person says Marvel's Rivals is a totally unplayable pay to win scam!

troglodytis ,

Yep, that was when the US jumped the shark. It was the exact moment, Oct 20, 1993, we went "fuck science, we're only doing short term profits now."

troglodytis , (edited )

Right! Think of those quarters' balance sheets!

Scientific progress? Peoples bonuses were on the line

Edit: it's good that our government protected America and left innovation to Europe

I love this question.

And sitting in a place of extreme privilege I say, meh, be you. Look everywhere. Here, there, wherever. If you catch someone's eyes share a quick smile and look somewhere else. Fuck'm

First, be you.

Second, try to remember no one cares, and if they do, that's on them.

Third, ok, so don't stare, look everywhere.

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for. Sorry. But it is the answer that sprang into my brain. And in the theme of "be you" I typed it.

It's a great question and lots of folks have good perspectives. Big hugs and your you is awesome

Nearly 75% of journalists killed in 2023 died in Israel’s war on Gaza: CPJ ( www.aljazeera.com )

Seventy-two of the 99 journalists killed worldwide in 2023 were Palestinians reporting on Israel’s war on Gaza, making those 12 months the deadliest for the media in almost a decade, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ)....

The thing is it does need to be said. And it needs to be said about Hamas and Palestinians. And it needed to be said about the Taliban and Afghans, Hussain and the Iraqi people, ISIS and Muslims.

At least in America, lots of people need reminding.
