“Google is where we go to answer our questions and you just really want to feel like you can trust those answers and the company behind them. And moments like these break that trust and make you feel like Google’s supposed core value—truth—has been co-opted by politics,” Urban told The Post after posting to X about his dismay over the results.

Absolutely not. I do not expect or want Google to decide what is the truth and give me a 3 second sound byte on what the Holocaust was. How do things like this get traction??

This is my favorite stupid review from a local bookstore:

I read all the one star reviews. If they are all something akin to "my food was too colorful" or "the waitress didn't refill my water enough" then it's probably ok

 

I basically never want to watch a YouTube link. But I kinda mindlessly click the next item in the feed if it sounds interesting and I'm always angry when it's a 20 minute long video that could have been a quick 2 minute read. Is it possible to mark these so I can see which ones are videos and avoid them like the plague?

This thread is so fascinating. I agree with the OP 100% and it's so strange to me to see the arguments against them.

Like, games as designed now are predatory. My kids get a game and are bombarded with shiny ways to extract more money.

OP's point on MMOs is that they provide servers and that means a monthly subscription and the only way (originally) to get stuff was to grind.

I think a second factor is a lowered expectation of immersion that comes with playing elsewhere. The author specifically says they can play in the pub waiting for friends or on the train or whatever. You're not as invested in those situations, so a game is more of a distraction than an experience.

Save yourself a click: they spoke French to each other on set, that is the whole article

 

I thought it might be a termite but I didn't think they had the thin body segment?
