I’d say that’s more the case with twitch since its more centered around live audiences. For youtube its mixed, those kind of videos frequently get claimed so outside of, say, drama-baiting I’d argue its a thing audiences seek out

Tbh its the same purpose as a laugh track and I hate laugh tracks. It says “this is where the joke is”. Imo this kind of stuff helps younger people identify and parse information, especially people who are more social/extroverted.

I actually prefer doing it with typing but its because I like have a breakdown if too much sound is happening so laugh tracks use to be too distracting to me.

Imo this is more likely an auditory thing for the viewer.

Source: I have a lot of siblings and the social butterflies and kids tend to love the reaction videos, especially those who can parse noisy environments (I cannot)

Yeah you know what’s even worse? Where people do the same thing but they *write" the reaction and post it to a website.

Class systems predate governments so, no I don’t think governments as we know them are a prerequisite for class systems. Class systems are always perpetuated with violence so when a state has a monopoly on violence then class systems can only be upheld with state approval.

Are you asking why governments exist or what classes are?

What would it be a spectrum of? Either you think society needs to be ruled by elites (right wing) or you think society should run itself based on universal rights (left wing).

If china cut a deal with venezuela it would get cheap oil and could protect its ships. I think the US ‘department of war’ may just be accellerating the shifting of world power against the US.

Wow its like australia is a real country and not solely controlled by a cabal of oil companies, mining companies, arms manufacturers, car companies, finance corporations, and tech bros.

It still boggles my mind things can be licensed/copyrighted without being forced to disclose source code. The lack of transparency we’re okay with in society is absolutely unsustainable.

Can we just do display port then?

Saying an expensive product that requires servers to run is the only thing exempt from copyright is just handing a bunch of giant corporations a get out of jail free card.

Either reform copyright so more things are public domain or require AI companies to pursue licenses to training data.

Giving an unfair exemption to copyright laws solely to giant tech companies is just another corporate handout.

Idk about better adjusted but it helps to have a checklist and somebody to lean on so you can both push each other to get more done. When you get home go for a 30 min walk each day. Its low energy but its a more natural activity that will help level out your brain.

I have the opposite issue where it takes me like 4-6 hours to fully wake up most days.

“israel kills future leaders of hamas”

That roight thar is a bunyip.

If nothing else my cats have forced me to get creative about cat proofing things

The EU should also fulfill the double meaning of the headline and buy Valve corporation from Gabe Newell.

Fuck off /s

I love my little gremlins, let me show you all the scars they’ve given me.

This kind of thing is probably good for resetting people’s baseline levels of dopamine.

I’m gonna get a linux phone. I used a flip phone and windows phone for a long time. I don’t actually need any of this bullshit.
