I hope Danno and Aunt Alison feel better. Having a history of migraines I know too well the paranoia of taking a sick day in a private company.

That's a relief. Imagine ringing into work "Hello boss McScrotes, I can't come in to work today. Why, you ask? Pineapple enzymes fucked me up. Toodle doo bitches."

People censoring themselves on YT by saying things like "unalive" instead of suicide or just blanking out words is really annoying. I saw a video where the person literally just kept saying blank every 20 seconds

I agree that it's shit and anything but I've heard some platforms demonitize or rank things lower in algorithms if things like "kill" and "die" or "suicide" are detected by their AI screening.
That could be bullshit, but I heard it on the internet so it must be true.

Youtube is very quick to demonetise videos, not only through algorithm, but also through the report function. This is used by haters as a weapon against disliked creators (such as trans Youtuber Jessie Gender), by reporting a video for e.g. "mature" content until it's demonetised or even gets an age check. Youtube creators have good reason to be careful with their words.

Yeah, it's such a weird atagonistic environment. You can tell creators are constantly battling with YouTube (and seemingly hate it). It seems time to just go somewhere else. Aren't there any other video hosting websites? It's faintly ridiculous at this point

There used to be loads of Youtube competitors, but it basically saw them all off years ago. (mainly by being much softer on copyrighted material back in the day).
I imagine that for younger generations its main competitor is TikTok. Though youtube seems to be pushing its vertical 'shorts' quite hard at the moment.

The downside is it's a paid subscription service, on the upside it gives them safety and a reliable income, and I assume it's ad-free.

To be a true youtube competitor, you have to be free though. Shame dailymotion and vimeo never truly took off.

The bandwidth requirements for that are immense, though. It takes a lot of money for someone to provide something like that for free, globally.
Which is why the subs/ads on YouTube, of course. I understand why people are bugged, because it was free for so long, but with the way it grew it wasn't sustainable.

Cunts who purposely block the second lane when two lanes merge into one can do one. There is a reason there are two lanes, to allow people to merge in right up until the lane becomes one.
Really pisses me off when people get annoyed and try to block you off. Some arse today tried to cut me up (no indication or intent to drive in the lane) so I went around him and he had the nerve to beep at me. Didn't matter there were another five or so cars directly behind me.
Fucks me off.
They zipper merge in the US as standard, wish people were taught that here instead of all getting fucking uppity about it.

Walking down the street today, and a family of broad stature are walking ahead of me, side by side, as slowly as possible.
They also have a dog on a lead, ensuring no part of the footpath can be used for overtaking. I couldn't even go onto the road as I had a pram.
By the time I saw an opening, there was about 6 of us trying in vain to make our way past. Absolutely clueless, as if they were the only people in the entire world, and the footpath was laid just for them.

Also, was walking home on a narrow footpath with the pram, when a group of youths come towards me walking two abreast (the maximum that a footpath of this width would allow).
So naturally, I keep walking towards them on the inside of the path, and the two in front look at me like I was supposed to either go on the road to accommodate them, or reduce the mass of myself and the pram to such an extent that I could slide past them like a shadow, or the Knight Bus from Harry Potter.
I would have loved to have kicked their ill-bred heads in.

Say "do you want this constantly shitting tiny human that thinks my head has a solar panel?"
Don't you have a Necromunda bullbar on the front of the pram?

I fucking hate school uniforms, they cost a fortune the sprogs despise them. It's the summer holiday rig-moral of ordering new stuff, my eldest has to wear a blazer next term I mean WTF, a tie, a formal shirt and now a blazer, there are so few walks in life where such attire is necessary it's ridiculous. I sort of get that a uniform is a good thing for a school but what's maybe wrong with say a polo neck and black trousers or similar, I think other counties in the UK and around the world do this. This silly setup costs a fortune, the sprogs hate it and go out of their way to wear it in such a way that its rebellious (in their eyes) and really what purpose does it serve? Keeps the stupid MF school dickheads happy other than that fuck all, bunch of cunts. And BTW if your kid is autistic then multiply this shit by ten! FFS.
Anyway I have to book the fucking Clarks shoes fitting crap now.

This silly setup costs a fortune, the sprogs hate it and go out of their way to wear it in such a way that it’s rebellious (in their eyes) and really what purpose does it serve? Keeps the stupid MF school dickheads happy other than that fuck all, bunch of cunts. And BTW if your kid is autistic then multiply this shit by ten! FFS. Anyway I have to book the fucking Clarks shoes fitting crap now. It’s massively tone deaf in the current financial climate too. Our school is mandating LOGO’D P.E. SHORTS and also makes the girls wear either plain trousers or a skirt with a logo. Nowhere do I see pleated skirts in any other setting with a logo. It’s all money making backhanders with the agreed providers and it stinks. Anybody could get a skirt of the same quality at an affordable rate. I’ve always considered that a compromise would be that you can source the stuff yourself (making sure it’s compliant) and then they could sell patches to sew on. But there’s less money in that for them. They also don’t let the kids take their blazers off when it’s hot in class - which is double bollocks because in no work environment I’ve ever been in is it considered a faux par to take off your jacket. And ultimately they are being trained to be drones like us. Funnily enough somebody formerly high up in the DFE has been very critical of the summer blazer issue and encouraged parents to take the schools to court over child abuse. However, who has the funds or time for it? We’re always slightly conscious of standing up to the adult bullies at school - you never know if there will be repercussions for the child.
