"Come at me bro". If YouTube helped me watch less YouTube that would be good too.

this. i’m addicted to youtube. if they make me pay that might be enough friction to get me to not use it.

i’d probably switch to tiktok or something tho

Try Unhook, it's a Firefox extension that allows you to turn off all the Youtube engagement features. Works wonders.

Yeah, I've got a bookshelf full of books to re-read, from 'A Theory of Justice' to '1Q84' and much besides.

1Q84 is great, I finished the first two volumes this summer. Probably my favourite Murakami novel so far.

I only end up watching something on youtube myself manually if I found it literally absolutely impossible to find an article elsewhere on the subject.

Now passive media consumption, my husband does all of that for us... we have a bunch of youtubers he puts on for us on Apple TV, but I would never type in youtube.com myself and browse around.

i don’t browse around youtube. i have over the many years curated a list of channels that i follow. i basically only pick videos from the “subscriptions” tab.

It sounds bad but if you're using the mouse a lot you should try splitting the board and placing the mouse between the halves. For shoulders it's the best typing and mousing position I can imagine. Although to be honest /didn't/ imagine it, someone whom I admire recommended it and even so it only took on the second attempt. And... it hasn't made me need a numpty yet.

Is it true, is it kind, is it necessary. My dad taught me that. I break the rules all the time but I try make it 2/3. How are you today.

I believe that's a Buddhist expression about "right speech".

I quit at what is a cookie. It's 2020 or so, my dead grandparents knew what a cookie is and it's time to go to work anyway.

That far overestimates what the general public understands about what you do every day. Most people have zero idea and less interest.

You missed out. The conclusion is actually pretty reasonable.

That “or so” is getting a little stretched :(

Twitters just a website, It's not society. Articles like this being posted and reposted are part of what make it such a loud little teacup. This post, this OMG comment, and all the other musk Twitter 'news' we are forced to try and ignore all the life long day, are the cause of the whole problem.

Leave it alone and it will go away. Keep picking at it and it will only get worse.

Honestly what took so long. He promised this ages ago. If you want to be anon and edge all over the site you can, but if you want to engage in serous discussion there can be accountability. Then we will know who had that nazi account, and qanon wankers don't get little blue x marks or whatever.

I don't use or care about Twitter, but I'm not surprised that he will finally make some noise to back up his primary claim about how he'll 'improve' the site.

There are lots of places to talk without handing your data to Israel.

I smelt that lean in the language. Came here to find this.

I don't try to decrease the necessary reaction to the PFAS themselves but I understand that their production involves more and more dangerous chemical compounds. What kills a worker in that plant or a cow where dupont dumps the waste, is not the same chemical as I am eating right?

I think it’s the state of the chemical that’s the biggest issue. I know for sure that PTFE is highly toxic to basically all life when it’s airborne, which happens when you heat your non-stick pans to over 450°F/233°C. There usually is not enough chemical in the air to kill humans, but it’s absolutely releasing toxic fumes, and I don’t know that we heal from the damage they inflict. Maybe if you burned enough pans, it’d be deadly to you. I stopped using them because an overheated pan will kill our birds in seconds, and they’re really not needed. I cook eggs in cast iron all the time.

I’ve read about concerns of PTFE poisoning from flakes, too, which are super common because some people fucking love to use metal utensils on their non-stick cookware.

Long story short, you’re definitely getting toxic chemicals sent to your home. The level of exposure seems variable based on your use.

It's easier to watch the movie :). The specific chemical has been connected to several classes of diseases (if memory serves me well, 6), in a very large research that was part of the legal case(s).

And I was on a real heater too. Why does this keep happening.

I've always been surprised that this surprised some people.
