YouTube has taken down videos from someone who showed how to bypass account and hardware requirements to install Windows 11, on the grounds that his content "encourages or promotes behavior that encourages dangerous or illegal activities that risk serious physical harm or death".

Windows 11 videos demonstrating account and hardware requirements bypass purged from YouTube creator's channel — platform says content ‘encourages dangerous or illegal activities that risk serious physical harm or death’

A YouTube creator accuses Microsoft of being behind the action and rants about Google’s use of AI.

Because as we all know, if you don't let Microsoft hoover up all your personal data and sell it to advertisers, you could die!

I love it when you got out anywhere in public and somehow manage to always wind up by sick people. In the theater, no one else around and in walk some coughing sniffling motherfuckers who wind up sitting right the fuck behind you.

Out to eat? ohhhh, here’s your booth, right back against someone coughing in the adjacent one.

Fuck.

Apparently, bad mouthing game journalists and saying most ain't worth listening is frowned upon in some circles. It's my opinion. I am not trying to change everyone's views on them, but that's how I feel. I didn't ask for them to be hurt mentally and physically. I even mentioned the YT circle, has plenty of contract or self-employed critics have more than a few screw ups no different from the professional outlets. So it's not like I am positively biased towards all YT reviewers either.

Being a contrarian doesn't make you a free thinker. In fact, if the only thing you can do is just assert the opposite of whatever someone says, you're as far from a free thinker as it's possible to get.

I need to stop reading Youtube comments.

When you cease to honestly wonder and inquire, and simply assume the stance against the status quo for no other reason than to oppose the status quo, you're not seeking to be informed, and are just looking to argue. I know it's tremendously stupid, but I still find myself fascinated by flat earthers who willfully deny facts presented to them in lieu of what is easier for them to comprehend, i.e.: it looks flat, therefore all of your science, equations, logic, and universally agreed upon assertions that prove otherwise are not evidence enough to think my observations might be flawed and misinformed. They think they're so smart for questioning reality when the fact is they're just really dumb for denying what rational people agree upon and can definitively prove.

OT, I needed three band aids yesterday, all on my right hand, all within an hour. Playing with my cat, he scratched the tip of my middle finger (band aid.) A few minutes later, I was opening some cans, and sliced my index finger (band aid.) Then a few minutes after that, I was loading the dishwasher where I cut my ring finger on a knife (band aid.) I don't generally fancy myself clumsy, but three separate trips to the medicine cabinet for injuries within 60 minutes portends I should probably spend more time sitting down out of the way. Also reminds me why I don't own a gun.

It is extra funny when the flat earthers are literally taken to space or through enough orbit to prove the world ain't flat.

Flat earthers are simply a cult of attention seekers. They pretend to deny common knowledge and seek to challenge learned, rational people for the mere sake of the exercise. I do not believe the majority of them believe what they say; they just like to gaslight, they like the attention they garner when every other sane person engages them with proofs and evidence contrary to what they deem to be observable reality and truth. I mean, someone went to the effort to fly Jeran (a very prominent flat earther) to the Antarctic; how more validating can it feel than for someone to go to those lengths to engage with your ignorance?

Maybe I should start a campaign for believers that don't think Europe actually exists. Maybe someone will take me on a free tour of the continent to prove me wrong while I wine a dine on some of the finest cuisines on the planet. I'm willing to play dumb if someone wants to fly me to Italy to prove it's real.

Also blow jobs aren't real. No woman has ever put her mouth on a penis for sexual gratification, and until a woman is willing to do it to me and prove it, I refuse to believe blow jobs are a thing.

These are pretty good -



Probably had ten handfuls so far.


WTF‽

Can't even switch my avatar to a different gif, I just can't have shit these days.

Didn't you have some sort of Kidney/Liver/Bladder operation a while ago?

Hope it isn't indicative of something bad.

Yes, one of my kidneys was removed. And turns out the one they removed was perhaps the largest of the two, but also the 'best' one. Barely filtered anymore, but could still produce a lot of urine, and as turns out, not the one that was problem prone. So now I'm stuck with the shittiest one. Starting to wonder if keeping one was even worth it.

3 year wait for transplant so far. Average is 4-5.

WTF is up with all these “stretch” denim jeans lately? I have a couple pair they’re fucking garbage. Shrunk after the first wash. I just want a basic pair of jeans that fucking last. I’d still be wearing my twenty-something years old Paper Denim’s more than anything if they weren’t getting worn behind the knees, most likely from my fidgeting.

What I object to are pre-torn/'artistic wear' on jeans. Buy proper ones and have adventures that do the wear and tear yourself you lazy bastards.

I've got a couple pairs of stretch jeans and they still fit my not-inconsiderable arse after many washes. They a reputable brand?

I got em from the Buckle so probably not. But it doesn’t negate the fact that any pair of plain old denim jeans I’ve boughten in the past regardless of price have never shrunk.

I worked for a retailer that sold such jeans as "designer." $80-$100 a pair, IIRC. Yeah, spend a C-note on some jeans that look like they need to be thrown away and replaced because... because... because it's cool to wear clothes that look like you're a laborer who can afford to spend a C-note on jeans that defy your actual entitled and privileged lifestyle.

All denim shrinks when washed. If you washed them and they shrank either you bought jeans that weren't pre-shrunk, or you don't know how to wash your jeans properly.

As far as why manufacturers add elastane to jeans, it's because denim requires breaking in before it's comfortable, and a lot of people don't like dealing with that, so manufacturers started adding elastane to jeans to make them softer. It also helps the jeans stretch to still fit people when they gain weight. Basically, manufacturers are doing it to appease the kind of people who think it's acceptable to wear sweatpants out.

I'm not a fan of elastane, I much prefer my clothing be made of our organic fibers, but it does have some uses, like providing additional mobility. I have some canvas pants that I wear for hiking that have elastane in them, and it's specifically for the purpose of making them less restrictive.
