Crazy to me that an anime streaming service was just purchased for more, $1.2 billion.

Huh, I wonder if anyone consumed the mixture.

Too stupid, the USA's stance on drug consumption.

Next 5 to 10 years I think weed will finally be legal in the USA... At least I hope! Lucky to live in a legal state but live too close to a not-legal state. It's dumb. Just make it legal everywhere.

I forgot about them until I saw this post. I guess they're still most famous for the robot dog from 10-15 years ago. That thing used to creep me tf out.

I thought Google owned Boston Dynamics.

This is the 69th post on ramble.

Oh no... the antivaxxers are going to flood this place.

I can't imagine being depressed and having a raging hard-on at the same time.

This does not surprise me. I have a friend whose son had severe food allergies as a child and teen. He could not eat anything with dairy, and is still wildly allergic to nuts and shellfish. I remember the first Thanksgiving they had after he finally received a diagnosis was a challenge for her. She had to not only exclude everything from eggs to dairy to I think even certain grains, she had to buy expensive food to assure there was no cross contamination.

The biggest worry was keeping up his vaccinations, because egg is used as some sort of component with some vaccines. I don't know the exact details. I just remember her getting upset because some asshole political cartoonist made a comic where he basically said parents saying they don't want their kids vaccinated are the same parents who want special treatment if their kid has a food allergy.

I remember telling off the cartoonist on Twatter at the time. Didn't do any good except made me feel just slightly better.

But anyway, yeah, this doesn't surprise me. With any luck they will be able to develope the vaccine without having to mix it with any known food allergy culprits

I wouldn't want to be first in line anyway but I wonder how common it is for allergies to make a vaccine not safe for use?

Are there any decent alternatives to YouTube? I think the only reason most people use it is because that is where the content is.

I've had some luck with BitChute, namely when I wanted to find some old Million Dollar Extreme episodes that had been scrubbed from YouTube.

Nowadays, it's not a bad idea to just save videos from YouTube directly ( https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl ) because people have entire playlists of removed content. I think it's hilarious (I mean, "not really") that YouTube removes so much content but not the link to it from people's subscriptions/playlists so they just have a bunch of gray boxes where thumbnails used to be.

One thing I'd LOVE to see is a quality peer to peer streaming network. Something where you can filter out the junk you DONT want to see and stream with no interuption the stuff you DO want to see. Items can't be removed once uploaded, perhaps tagged for end-user filtering so they don't have to see things they don't want to or can opt out of unknowingly hosting bits of that content.
