I just turned 45. But I have 1 point. I’d happily pretend to be 39 though.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 2 days ago:
1 point because cheques have always been rare in my country.
2 if you are strict with the Blockbuster thing, we had Videoland instead but I have rented video tapes from a video rental store like Blockbuster.

- Comment on In Warning Sign for Hollywood, Younger Consumers Are Choosing Creator Content Over Premium TV and Movies: Social Platforms are Becoming a Dominant Force in Media and Entertainment. 1 week ago:
The big problem with that is potentially: you get one crank against one serious person, the crank can just gish-gallop and the serious person will need hours just to untangle the web of lies.

the original intent he had of letting people defend their weird positions is a good one imo.
If people were meant to defend their weird positions, that would mean that Rogan was supposed to give pushback.
That was clearly never going to happen, because he’d need to seriously investigate his guests claims beforehand.
So instead we got a podcast that’s filled with obvious misinformation with hardly a critical note from Rogan. Dumbing down his audience with BS. Causing more distrust for experts, and anti-intellectualism.

Yeah it kinda sounds like it. The eier kind of sounds like hey, and koeken sounds a bit like Google.
I’ve had a few other accidental activations, that I couldn’t explain that easily, even from podcasts, that I decided that I didn’t need it. But in Android Auto I couldn’t find to option to turn off the activation phrase, so instead I turned it off completely.

- Comment on The wildest details in the Facebook memoir Meta is trying to bury 2 weeks ago:
The fact that Meta is so desperately trying to destroy this book and its author must mean that it’s factual to a tee. I hope we can Streisand Effect this into the NYT Best Sellers list.
