So the commenter is driving through intersections without blinkers and supposed to do that? I'm not sure if this is a joke or not. I need to teach my grandma how to hard reboot a car without crashing?

I also never had Amazon tell me to just keep it. Even some small $5-$10 item I scuff at driving to the UPS store. Walmart often tells me to keep $5-$10 items despite the fact I have Walmart+, they are often in the neighborhood and happy to

I must have a different experience somehow? My feed & recommendationa only has Shorts in one spot...2nd from the top, and I can see more if I swipe. Besides that all other recommendations are long form.

"Senior YouTube staffers are reportedly worried that its TikTok competitor, Shorts, may eat away at its long-form content," They are different forms of content, just on the same platform. Seems like a a non-sensical article for th

I'd hire a Chinese student who graduates from a US university. Their understanding of Chinese & American culture/language would be far better than an American who studies Mandarin for a few years.

Eh - at a minimum, if they reply, you are able to collect data points on salary. If I see I'm trending behind I'd consider applying directly to jobs.

AFAIK Instagram was always like this? Whenever I get stopped I just hit the back button and thank for them saving me time. TikTok does it right - it annoys you with a pop up to login/open in app...you can dismiss it and watch the video
