I mostly watch YouTube on my phone, followed by my tv, so I just assumed it was a bug in either/both of the apps. I've seen it in other streaming apps like HBO Max as well.

Comment on US Federal Aviation Administration reducing air traffic by 10% across forty ‘high-volume’ markets during government shutdown in ~transport
pesus Link ParentAs much of a shitshow as it would be, I think it might get some people to finally wake up to everything going on if it starts directly affecting them.As much of a shitshow as it would be, I think it might get some people to finally wake up to everything going on if it starts directly affecting them.

I'd add that I think analog clocks are much more helpful for keeping track of the flow of time - being able to see at a glance how far the hands have moved feels much more tangible and intuitive, and removes the need to consciously think about how long it's been since you last checked the time.

Comment on Jimmy Kimmel pulled “indefinitely” by ABC after Charlie Kirk comments in ~tv
pesus Link ParentAlmost certainly true, but I would've thought Kimmel was pulling in enough money for them to not care about that. I guess billionaires are the only ones with real class consciousness.Almost certainly true, but I would've thought Kimmel was pulling in enough money for them to not care about that.

It's looking more and more like the first option, which seems the more terrifying of the two...
Edit: I'm seeing now that the Trump regime was threatening to take their FCC broadcasting license if they didn't fire Kimmel. This is definitely terrifying.

Comment on California Governor Gavin Newsom praises Charlie Kirk’s outreach to young men, suggests Democrats do more of their own in ~society

'Easy mode' isn't even the right way to look at it - 'easy mode' implies an unfair advantage, which really only applies if you're wealthy or otherwise well connected. This isn't to say that discrimination / unequal treatment isn't unfair, but rather that being treated without discrimination should be the default.

pesus Link ParentDepends on the site, I think. Relatively normal forums with relatively normal people would ban people for that, but there were plenty of unhinged corners of the internet.Depends on the site, I think.

Comment on Sony announces increases to PS5 and PS5 Pro MSRP in the United States in ~games
pesus Link ParentI'd guess under 25% of the US population even know what a tariff is, and far fewer even understand the effects. Democrats should've just called it a Trump Tax instead to get the point across.I'd guess under 25% of the US population even know what a tariff is, and far fewer even understand the effects.

pesus Link ParentWe've already got a ton of violence from the republicans. This is just Newsom finally recognizing and responding to that - it's really the bare minimum of necessary self defense.We've already got a ton of violence from the republicans.

Comment on The troubling decline in conscientiousness [especially in younger Americans] in ~life

I agree with the rest though, it shouldn't be at all surprising that kids growing up in a largely hopeless society that seems to be actively deteriorating have become demoralized. It was bad enough growing up with at least a glimmer of optimism for the future and having it be completely destroyed over the last decade. I can't imagine how nihilistic and hopeless I'd be if the current state of things is basically all I'd ever known.

I'm completely tapped out on the "bean mouth/CalArts" style, for lack of a better term. I didn't even realize it was a Pixar movie at first - I thought it was just another Disney animated movie, which are not usually very impressive. Pixar used to be very distinct from what the rest of Disney is doing, but it seems they've lost a lot of their identity, at least on the surface.
This is so intriguing to me. Can you hear things in your mind? As in, either music/sounds you've previously heard, or an internal monologue?
