Well, to be fair, “Why can’t websites just remember that I said no to cookies?”

Yeah, I know. But “what does greek mythology say about using windows” would have been less funny.

If by that you mean connected my computer account to a Microsoft account, nope, I did no such thing.

That’s weird. I don’t get the prompt at all, but I do have a button in the lower left corner that says “Sign In.” Maybe it’s because I’m on Windows 11?

I wouldn’t be surprised, but I’m not convinced downvoting comments has any effect on YouTube.

The names and PFPs still give it away if you know about them.

They’re not just “casually” stealing comments. They steal a random comment from the video, then have a bunch of other bots give it a bunch of thumbs up so that it appears towards the top and accumulates more upvotes than most human comments make. 95% of the time it seems, the real comment has one or two upvotes and is buried so far you have to scroll multiple pages to reach it.

I suspect there’s a law requiring it, because I don’t think corporations would choose to be that nice.

Any item, eh? Take the sign.

Ladies and gentlemen, we gottem.

Well thanks, but to be fair, I was asking Scrubbles. When it comes to an opinion I disagree with, it’s more fruitful to talk to the person who holds that opinion than it is to deride the opinion with someone else who already agrees with me. Partially because there’s a good chance of a misunderstanding.

Not to say the rest of your remark is invalid, just addressing the first sentence where you seem to be speaking on Scrubbles’ behalf.

Am I reading this right? Are you saying that churches are worse than house-hoarding landlords, just because they think they’re doing good but a lot of them don’t? Even the 18% of churches that rent their buildings from other churches^[1] (or the ones that rent non-church properties like theaters or schools,) and thus almost certainly don’t even have a property they could give? Or what about the 48% of churches that run or support a food pantry^[2], and are thus doing good?

You conflate Christianity with Republicanism. Please do not act like churches are the mastermind behind politicians who use vaguely church-scented branding to try to pander to Christians while acting against many of the principles laid out in the Bible.

Well it can’t be exclusively caused by red states, but I see what you mean. I’m just not a fan of the implication that churches have something to do with it.

I do not understand these downvotes. Like how dare you see churches that actually help the poor like they’re supposed to?

That being said, it does seem that its the areas with lots of churches that create the conditions for homelessness

Huh? Is this like a red state/blue state thing, or do you have something to indicate that towns with more churches generate more homeless? It doesn’t really make sense to me because homelessness is tied to housing prices, and cities are where housing is more expensive, and the ratio of church to population is probably a lot lower in cities.

You wanna work weekends?

Used to be, when you’d search “man meme” on Google Images, you’d get a note saying memes about groups of people may be offensive. It doesn’t anymore, but that’s not a double standard thing because it also doesn’t if you search “woman meme.” Still does if you search races.

It’s spelled “combo beaker”. But I know what you mean, I really like iced tea.
