Ive noticed this about youtube lately. Cant even search for video game content anymore without getting culture war ragebait bullshit instead most of the time. Its too blatant and lovely for anyone not into gently caress faces raging about DEI and "wokeness" cause I tried to find a song from FFVII and people obsessed with the size of Tifas chest ruined the algorithm on that game just before launch. Its correcting a little now that its been out for a while and they've made that Korean game they're new target, but still pretty bad.

Once again going to plug Blocktube. Block keywords you don't want, accounts with names you don't want, etc. My recommends and results are clean.

Over on the r/RealTesla subreddit someone points out that if you do the math Tesla has produced 144,366 more vehicles over the past two years than it has actually delivered.

This sounds like a better idea than my go to, which is to ask an AI with web search to search youtube and exclude results with poo poo that's pissing me off poisoning the results.

In the Documentary "The Flintstones" dinosaurs are shown to have evolved to do useful things for the humans of the time period. They slowly died out as their jobs were taken by technology.

Those 144,000 cars have obviosly been set a side as part of a mad max'esq military fleet to end wokeness. Elons musk dozens of twitter followers will drive them into battle to victory in the wokeness wars. You know as soon as any of them log off and leave their rooms.

As a fan of the original Roadhouse, he doesn't give a homeless person money and then the homeless person takes off in a nice car, he gives the homeless person the keys to his car since he's leaving the city and doesn't want car anymore because he knows it'd get hosed up by hillbillies at his new gig. But yeah there are panhandlers out there that do make 50k+/year and have nice cars or actually have a place to live. One time I saw a woman panhandling with a stroller and later that day I saw her putting her kid into a car seat in the back of a pretty nice Mustang. Scammers will scam, but that's the exception not the rule, typically they'll blow their money on booze or drugs.

For a while there was a script floating around for a Jurrasic Park sequel that sounded dinoriders'esq with military adding weapons to dinosaurs and what not. Honestly suprised no one made a dinoriders movie with the some financial success of the transformers one and all the marvels crap. Dinoriders is no less stupid than them.

Also more dinosaurs in them!

Spare batteries are pretty key.
Also, consider that a kinda nice used car might cost 10,000 to 20,000 dollars once, whereas an apartment costs more than that every year. A panhandler might have a "nice" car because that's what they live in and they really need one that works.

Or they had it before they lost their home. Also I think most panhandlers use the money to buy food and other essential needs.

If you're on the site and see someone with the X logo next to the blue check, they're an employee. A lot of them seem to be the type of dimwitted and cringeworthy people that would be openly excited to work for Elon and his idiot racist app

Helping someone materially is a good thing to do. If you convince yourself someone who is asking you for help would just spend it on drugs or actually chooses this lifestyle to assuage that feeling you get when you turn your back on your fellow man, I get it, but you can also just give someone a few dollars no questions asked too, simply because they asked you.

Most of the groups that got musk the money seemed to decided to have a bit of twitter rather than just giving a loan... so probably regretting that now.

Having seen this and other stories I cannot fathom the patience required to be a healthcare provider in this day and age.

Interacting with literal medieval peasants who attribute grandpa's recovery to the prayer they offered while waiting in the Sonic drive-thru, not the 36 hour shifts you've been pulling to save his rear end. And god help you if he dies, here comes the local militia to invade the hospital and retrieve his corpse so they can revive him with horse paste and Mega BrainForce supplements.

Maybe doctors need to revert to ye olde methods where they told patients to hang a magic horsehoe above their door, but also maybe eat some vegetables and wash themselves. Oh wow the horseshoe worked, they feel better already!!!!!

We know someone who's a property manager for some rich family that owns a penthouse suite in Seattle that's just a spot for them to stay when they're here on business. That comes out to maybe 3-5 days a year.
She spends more time in that condo than they do.
