It's very annoying if I do want to see that channel, just not THAT video. You also have to be careful with that button because there's no way to selectively unblock channels. There's a feature to undo your entire Do Not Recom

People get upset because we use every part of an animal for food? I think it's absolutely great. I am a meat-eater who doesn't feel ethically great about it, but I'd feel much worse if I knew a large percentage of a carcass w

Google simply needs to add "I'm an adult" functionality to their phones. I know the author of this app and trust them, I know the functionality I want and I accept the risk because I'm a grown adult and can make my own c

I hate the phrase because it presumes that the person one becomes for less than 1% of their conscious life, while under the effects of a mood-altering drug, is a greater representative of their true self than their behaviour of the other 99

I've always hated that phrase, because it's objectively, provably bullshit. Almost everyone has some experience of a friend of acquaintance who become someone other than themselves when they got hammered.
