I wonder about this sometimes. moot was a child, started an anime website, and drew aggro from some of the worst weirdos on the planet; ancap, nazis, pedos, etc. After more than a decade, they finally broke him, with an epic thread where btards in the ground proved with photos that his girlfriend was cheating on him. He sold the site something like six months later, in 2013 or 14, I want to say. and then 18ish months after that, Trump descends a golden escalator.

I wonder sometimes if moot knew he was holding back the end of the world. I do think that Trump is the final metastisization of something that was already festering. I do think if not him, then someone. But this vanity run for president in 2016 was intended to be a negotiation tactic with NBC for the apprentice; the channer nazis were who elevated him above a gag candidate.

I'm 35, Ive been using them since they were new, around 21 until right around the pandemic, so around when I turned 30. My impression is that they have gone downhill a lot. I don't consider myself a very handsome man, but I'm pretty well read and I have a lot of hobbies and I can hold a conversation. Early on, it was literally just a list of people and profiles. You could start a conversation with anyone, I did pretty well. I would say in this era, (maybe between 2011 and 2014) I would rate OKC the best. Tinder showed up and I gave it a try and I would say its the worst (and remained the worst). The gamification even then was insane. Pay for higher placement. Pay for 'super likes.' None of these were guarantees she would reply back or even see it; you could have been throwing your money in a void. Like a skinner box for incels.

I won't pretend there isn't a physical dimension to dating; but the way Tinder was set up, it was inevitable it was going to become a "hook up" app. You had the option to post something like 8 pictures and eventually they let you post a short bio, at first it was just a few words (which most people left blank anyway). It was designed to be a meat market. I know people have met their partners there and I am not trying to take that away from anyone but come on guys, that's not what Tinder is. I honestly had better luck meeting women on 4chan than Tinder. And it doesn't help now that the Match group has a crushing hold on the entire industry, so the gamification model has basically spread everywhere. All of the things about Tinder in this thread are true; the gender imbalance, the bots, the scammers. I ended up deleting everything in 2020; I had a girl ghost me and everything after that just felt so fake.

Nah, they're soft close and brand new. I just spent the better part of two years renovating down here.

 

I picked the strawberries last year and froze them. The mullberries were from my backyard.

I appreciate your step by step instruction and links to similar help threads. I do have firefox, but its my primary browser. Ive found it to be easier to log into google with a secondary browser, in this case, Edge.

I dont mind dropping the link, but its Action Button's LA Noir Video, its 10 hours long

I know, Im logged into youtube on Edge and I told it to use the cookies from there.

 

Hello,

Im not terribly adept at this, but I got yt.dlp working. There is one age gated video Ive been wanting to watch. I tried inputing the credentials for a verified youtube account, and I got an error message with

"log in with password is not supported for youtube." Then listed error 7271, could not copy chrome cookie data, which I thought was weird, because I dont have chrome and was not using it as the browser.

Am I missing something? Or is this functionality no longer available, at least for the time being?

Then use a different word. "AI" and "reasoning" makes people think of Skynet, which is what the weird tech bros want the lay person to think of. LLMs do not "think", but that's not to say I might not be persuaded of their utility. But thats not the way they are being marketed.
