The 1970s… some people romanticizing it because they think it’s cool and cheesy, kids are “latchkey” and no one trying to mind your manners. In reality drug abuse was really full-on, some US cities were plagued by crime in the open, there were all kinds of shock and gore movies, and sexual permissiveness is so low that even minors are not spared – like boys from junior high literally talking about eventually getting laid.

Magazines like that one are so much a reflection of the views of the time, and this article has the author alternately despising “mainstream” culture while simultaneously selling her as a sex object.

No one should wonder why some men “thriving” from that decade were really fucked up, now curb-stomping civil rights so that they could get their own “freedoms”.

Tourists are usually mindful of the country they’re visiting, but then most Mainland Chinese are former farm peasants who suddenly got wealthy for some reason and live in big cities, so able to even travel abroad, but unfortunately have little to no understanding of etiquette and how to properly conduct themselves elsewhere.

about the damn unable to find the toilet: I’m sure some have trouble communicating in a foreign country, or worse, unable to comprehend symbology, they end up rolling back to default behavior by just squatting and dumping where they see as convenient to them.

I have to go to Google Play then to the app’s store page and get to the triple dot menu on the upper-right corner, then choose to disable auto-updates.

10-15 euros is a large amount of money where I live at, it would feed a family of five for a day.

You’re living in a country where nearly everything is accessible in 15 minutes of walking or less, and besides you cook your food, I guess your local resto serves cheaper food. However, I also guess there’s some inflation going on and/or higher cost of living, that’s why you see fast food restos as being more expensive, although they do exist partly because of convenience, especially if in a car and a drive-thru makes it faster to grab whatever lunch or dinner off from the order window.

Channel got killed because of misdirected machine logic.

What’s worse is that for years YT stopped using human intervention/moderation and instead relied on some bunch of bots and a handful of third-party IP bounty hunters (like “Remove Your Content.com”) to carry out copyright enforcement. Meanwhile, almost everyday there’s Elsagate content churned out by the ton.

With ongoing enshittification in the quest for the lowest common denominator, why it might as well be mandatory to keep a 3310.

“This will allow YouTube to locate the best content”

They mean slop? Another reason why I still use Newpipe on mobile.
