You’re expecting to get reliable info from YT comments and Tiktoks?
- Comment on how do I stop being a sucker for alcoholic stuff on sale? 4 weeks ago:
For me it’s easier to resist temptation in the store rather than when it’s in the house. At that point you already bought it, it’s right there so you’re gonna eat/drink it at some point right? Might as well be now… It’ll take effort to break the habit, but think twice about before buying stuff. The sale might give you FOMO but remember that if it has a negative impact on your life then it has negative value, they should be paying you to get rid of that trash. And be proud of yourself successfully resisting temptations.

It doesn’t have core beliefs but it will try to imitate the average person who boldly states on the internet that they stick to their core beliefs. Not sure what sort of group it would end up imitating tho.

- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 1 month ago:
I have the same problem and just switched to an electric foil shaver. It’s not as close a shave so it does leave a bit of a stubble. That look might not work for everyone but it works for me
- Comment on Google is excited about money! 2 months ago:
“But no worries! We added parental controls” Yet another thing for overwhelmed parents to manage and stay informed about. Another one of those things that impacts people that are already struggling the most.
- Comment on Solar Panel Questions 2 months ago:
The 275 number probably isn’t (just) a model number but the max generated wattage. That’ll give you some idea of the generated power. In practice you’ll never hit that number but I just got a peak of 315w at noon on my 355w rated panels.
- Comment on What is anti-propaganda? 2 months ago:
If she has accepted that she is pro-propaganda then maybe you need to link her to the Wikipedia page for the word.
“Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented”

Wait what’s wrong with this blog post? I’m finding it very interesting and well written
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 8 months ago:
Playing devil’s advocate here. A possibly legitimate reason ISPs put in data caps is wireless spectrum congestion.
