What you say is true, but also ignores the alt-right pipelining that YouTube and others are seemingly complicit in, or at the very least is the result of perverse incentives.

And I’ll say the exact same thing about TikTok. It’s serving as primary sources for many problems around the world, it’s giving more broad and informed, collegiate level discussions of the world, and it’s full of brainrotting limbic hijacking.

I can fluently read meme, but I can’t really speak it.

You just need to do an aggressive head nod at the barista and you’ll get a slightly bigger portion.

You characterize George Carlin as a simple contrarian?

Where’s your encrypted USB recovery key stored?! Is it encrypted USBs all the way down?

Odd coming from someone who is fucking retired.

I’d suspect he sacrificed work-life balance his whole career (yes, CEOs are known for golfing and vacations, but I bet they still think of work 24/7). So just like people complaining about student loan forgiveness, some people get so angry if they perceive someone might have an easier experience than they did.
