This looks really cost affordable and efficient, but I’m not sure my wife will go for the DIY aesthetic.

What if you like your family more than your job? Hustle and bustle of the work/school week (even an enjoyable one) makes it incredibly hard for me to spend time with my family outside of weekends.

I’ll do it if I get an invite to the Blue Man Group.

Oh interesting. I have trouble growing the middle bit of my mustache, so maybe that will help.

I’d probably use the pills regardless, but good to know! I have two cats!

Eh I’ll consider it, but I like my hair for now. If it gets to a point where I look dumb I’ll shave. But I also have a humungous head. Like literally 99th percentile lol

This post was ironic?

I think doing war crimes on someone is worse than being a degen.

There’s a part 1 to this video that goes into it. Basically:

• videos are faked (reality level TV stuff - making the timers look like they’re still counting down)
• there was a person who was recently on staff who was a sexual deviant named Ava Kris Tyson who also seemed to be obsessed with teenagers and ran a discord server talking about inappropriate stuff (this is worse than my description sounds)
• Beast was on this server for a time but doesn’t seem to have been an active participant
• Illegal lotteries from the Streaming “giveaways”
• claiming his chocolate is “healthy” and encourage kids to eat it to have a chance at randomly winning a prize
• in Aus, having an app for the chocolate that says you win a prize when you pull the slots but you actually don’t win anything (basically getting triple 7s and getting told you win nothing)
• safety issues with the beast games, moving to Canada so no union workers can join, etc.
• this video explains some horrible stuff Mr Beast and team did for a single video

Really the biggest deal I think is the illegal lotteries. Because those are actual criminal acts

As a parent, I will always want my kids to do better than I did.

Completely untrue. They would watch some loud obnoxious guy on YouTube teach you how to do it in a clickbait video that’s 10 minutes and 5 seconds long with a sponsor.

Emulator + GBA games

This reminds me of a funny comic my English teacher shared with us.

“iOS 17.6 has been light on features throughout the beta period, so presumably this version will primarily include bug fixes and improvements.”

I think I licked a toilet bowl? I pretty much stopped playing truth or dare when I was like 12 though.

That’s absolutely wild

That’s Sir tosser to you!

Ah I remember this phone. I remember when it finally died and I replaced it with an Android 2 that was R2-D2 themed. It still had a physical keyboard because I very distinctly remembered not wanting to use a touchscreen keyboard for everything.

I don’t know the specifics behind it, but even if VPN does work, or accessing TT through a web app instead of an app, that’s still 1-2 hurdles for the average user to jump through for their fix.

Some people will just not bother and then peace out to instagram reels or YT shorts or just drop off that kind of social media.

It fully depends on how many users are “savvy” enough to navigate those hurdles and how badly they want to navigate those hurdles.

In my experience when you’re working with a dedicated user base and you make a significant change, you can expect to lose around half your audience. Barriers to entry are probably going to increase that number, but obviously this is anecdotal evidence for future events.

I was under the impression that the TT creator fund was very minimal anyway. Or at least it was gutted recently and used to be somewhat okay.
