Weird. Youtube doesn’t do that to me. It is insistant however that I need to watch AI made videos about why linux is better than linux.

No, not a typo. The titles are usually along the lines of “Is Mint better than linux? Lets find out!”

Or

“Ubuntu just can’t compete with Linux!”

And the one time I accidently clicked one of these videos, it was the most obvious AI slop you’d ever seen.

Maybe it doesn’t suggest these right wing videos because they see how much Steven Colbert, and Last Week Tonight I watch.

Then there’s the weird videos. Not AI. Just…weird.

Like the video of a teenager dipping a pickle into a jar of tostitos queso, and repeatedly saying “pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese, pickles n cheese…” while making squishing noises with the cheese.

But since I clicked it, and watched 30 seconds of it, youtube now reccomends me videos from time to time of this guy doing random things with pickles.

I miss when it reccomended the guy with the duck. The duck was cool.

Well hot damn! Thank you! I fiddled with this for 30 minutes the other night. I even deleted all data. I even uninstalled, redownloaded, and reinstalled.

I would have never guessed that you need to beat it in normal mode first to then do challenges mode. I would have stumbled upon it, after casually playing. And then maybe a week later trying to figure out how to unlock challenges, only to discover them already unlocked. Then I’d be REALLY confused.

But at least now I get what I need to do. I get whats going on, and it works!

Oh, one slight correction though. You don’t need to beat the stage. Just play it. After reading your reply I decided to try beating 1-1 and 1-2. Then I died on 1-3. I was expecting to see 1-1 and 1-2 unlocked with 1-3 still locked. But 1-3 is unlocked too.

So, thank you for the info so I can stop being frustrated. I at least know now I need to play every level at least once, so I can play challenges mode! And I assume that’s also why most of the boo levels were locked.

Intellectual nepobabies? I don’t know what that means! These words challenge me, and I want no part of that! Nooooope! I will not think about such things! I mean really! What even is “nepobabies”? Did you mean “muppet babies”? Because they stopped making that show a while ago…

I thought that was facebook?

looks around at a world run by pedophiles, fascists, and abusers

…yeah, but is that really the worst idea?

They all get nukes.

There is a myspace clone I saw about 2 years ago. I was new to the fediverse. I THOUGHT the myspace clone was part of the fediverse. It wasn’t.

I was going to join, but turns out this service was not open source. It’s not part of the fediverse. It’s essentially just some guy running the service, and can freely read anyones messages.

So I didn’t join. But if there were an open source federated version of myspace? Yes. I would join.

Hey, I got a question for you. If you go to challenges, you should see 1-1. Next to it, is 1-2. I beat 1-1. I got the 5 red coins. I got the yoshi egg. And I got the score.

So all 3 objectives are done.

Why can’t I unlock 1-2?

Here’s what I think the world needs.

Every citizen in every country gets 10 atomic bombs.

Ok so you falsely arrest this man. You don’t release him now, because he’ll just go get his atomic bombs.

But now his brother or his wife, or whomever, ALSO has atomic bombs. And they demand his release or else.

So NOW whenever anyone tries to do anything, they have to think. Will this make them use an atomic bomb?

And suddenly, police are a lot more careful. Corporations switch their gosls from profit, to citizen utopia. Can’t make anyone mad ever.

And in a strange way, I find that to be far more peaceful. Nobody is an asshole or a bully anymore, because we’ll ALL be blown up if one person snaps.

Maybe others are afraid of MAD. I was born into it. Raised in an environment where they say the russians could bomb us at anytime, and almost did multiple times.

I was raised to have nuclear bomb drills where they sound a siren, and thousznds of kids rushed into underground bunkers. We had fire drills, and tornado drills, and atomic bomb drills.

I imagine the kids who are like 20 today, are almost immune to fear of public shootings, because they grew up in the school shooting drill days. These kids could walk into a warzone, and dodge bullets like NEO. But nobody would even shoot a gun if anyone anywhere could nuke you.

We saved you from being interred

Now you’re out eating a turd

I yell but you are undeterred

Maybe it’s just me, since I didn’t realize Amy Winehouse was a singer, so I don’t know Amy Amy Amy…

But when I read your lyrics, I hadn’t realized this was about a dog. I thought Chloe was the woman who covered her nose when trump shit himself.

I live in ohio. Food not taxed, drinks are.

In OHIO.

Yeah, Ohio has its shit together more than your state.

Green held up a sign reading “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES” — a reference to a racist video Trump’s account posted this month.

Honestly, I had no idea trjmp called black people apes recently. I saw the sign, and it really didn’t even need explaination. Sign could have been made 6 years ago, and everyone would still get it.

Learn from history??? The Americans??? Oooooh, I have some bad news for you. Most Americans can’t read.

He MAKES…them pay!

On day one, I joined and had no communities. So I just started browsing, and being like “Oh, join this, and join that, and join this, and this, and this and this and this one too”

Then about a year later after the dust had settled, and I had fallen into my habits, and such, I noticed that I was subscribed to about 100 communities. But I only ever saw content from about 15 or so of the bigger ones. So I decided to revisit each community individually that I had joined. A few of them still had “Join Pending” in yellow. A year later, with no content in that year, and my join was still pending. A vast number of these communities were abandoned. I hadn’t considered to check for activity as I was joining these. I just said “A community for SNES? Uhhh, yes please!” But nobody posts there.

So I decided to start posting in these abandoned communities. I got some upvotes. So people were seeing the content I was posting. But I didn’t get any replies, or see any further activity of other people posting new topics. Which I really don’t understand the concept of “I’ll join a community, but I won’t contribute”. Especially when it’s a dead community, and you could reply to the ONLY guy posting there.

I also tried posting in the three different Cleveland communities I saw. I live here, and I loved the Cleveland subreddit over on the other site. I won’t explain all the little localisms that we would discuss there. If you’re not from here, you’re not going to understand the idea of seeing a billboard on the side of a highway, which is nothing more than a closeup of a bald mans eyebrows. No product. No text. Just an extreme closeup of a bald mans eyebrows. Out of towners would see that and be like “What the hell???” but if you know, you know.

But here, even though there’s three different Cleveland communities, none of them are active. There’s a few people who post. I’m still on all three of the front pages of those communities for posts I had about 2 years ago. And only one of the three communitys would actually reply.

My point in all of this is, you can and should join niche communities, but also…the rest of you need to pull your fucking weight around here, and engage these communities! I can’t be the ONLY one posting. That’s not how being social works! Typically, with online conversations, I will say one thing, and then you respond back with something like “SHUT THE FUCK UP LOSER!!!”. At least, that’s what I’ve found to be historically how these things go. It doesn’t work without the replies!

What??? I thought being part of Federation meant being part of the WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION!

OOOOH YEAH, SEE I’M ALWAYS THINKIN THINKIN THINKIN, YEAH. AND WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, WE DO THING IN THE RING! DIG IT! THE TOWER OF POWER TOO SWEET TO BE SOUR, FUNKY LIKE A MONKEY! OOOOOOH YEEEAAAHHHH!!!

Tacos become pizza toppings. Full size tacos, on top of your pizza.

If anyone ever asks “Do we need more tacos?” it becomes your responsibility to slap this individual. Because obviously yes. The answer is ALWAYS yes. Always more tacos. Always.
