How many content discovery systems can you point to that have the breadth and depth of video content that Youtube does? I don't think it's too much to just give feedback into the void with the hope that if enough people chime in w

My argument is, it's a vastly underpowered system in terms of the filtering options available to users. Those things ought to remain available, but I wish it were easier to tell Youtube my goals for a browsing session and turn off porn

Anecdotally, I watch a lot of youtube content of areas like hiking, camping, vanlife, survival, bushcraft, DIY, homesteading, exercise, etc. And I see more and more suggested videos that take these topics but add in a woman wearing a bikini

China is the single greatest thread to personal freedom, but may also be the world's best hope for dealing with tragedy of the commons problems like existential threat of climate change or AI / biotech safety where swift, undemocr

I love the article and I've done some similar things but I found "These are solvable, though. I know because I built a solution: a web app with a chatbot interface that remembers what I say in every session so I never have to repe

I'm sorry, but implying that developing a good personality is compensating is itself a form of bigotry. Just as it would be if I said "what she did to signal that she was intelligent despite being a woman was to 'mathmax&#x27

Haven't seen stats but it sure feels like ENM and poly are cannibalizing the alternative sexuality world and reducing the popularity of swinging. Which IMO is for heterosexual couples at least a bit of a loss, as swinging seems to favo
