  Yeah, they know exactly where you stop, and if enough people stop at a key moment (think GoT Red Wedding), they might use that data to inform future decisions, but it’s a really mixed signal in this case. First, they have to be looking for “who stopped before the main event” as some sort of a signal. They might be, or they might look at it in the future, but like the previous person said, you’re counted as a view well before you get to that point. In their eyes, you’ve effectively voted in favor of Jake Paul because the main event is Jake Paul. It’s sorta like ordering a happy meal as a protest to MacDonalds and hoping they notice you didn’t eat the burger patty. There are clearer ways to protest, like not watching it in the first place, or canceling your sub.

  Also, it won’t fuck with Jake at all. He’ll get paid either way, and there are probably a hundred other metrics his team will care about more than that one (if Netflix even shares that level of detail). Moreover, being controversial and polarizing isn’t a problem for Jake Paul. I’m sure they expect plenty of this sort of thing.

  An even funner Southwest PR story is the Malice in Dallas. I don’t have a good resource to point you to, but you can google it. it was an armwrestling match between CEOs to settle a corporate dispute. The two companies holstered their lawyers and settled the grudge with a big PR event.

  You probably already know this, but for others’ amusement… Southwest’s Pilot Training pathway program is called Destination 225, and I doub’t that many prople even in the airline business get the reference. So if nothing else, they’ve got a branding headstart.

  I don’t remember where I watched the presentation. I think it might have been one of Brian Schiff’s videos, but I don’t remember. Here’s a link to it I found online. www2023.icao.int/safety/OPS/…/Truenorth.aspx

  Fun fact… there is an ICAO effort to “get rid” of magnetic headings for runway numbers. I listened to a presentation they did last year, and as much as I went into it thinking it wasn’t needed, I was a convert listening to them.

  Btw, magnetic variation is pretty significant in some places. It’s 13 degrees where I am.

  I don’t think any of them support RCS, for whatever that’s worth to you.

  The only place I really miss that is with a fantasy football shit-talking group chat. Otherwise, I’ve tried to move away from SMS/MMS/RCS. It’s hard to pull people away from iMessage.

  You say “misinterpreting scripture” as if scripture has ever been more than some nonsense somebody cooked up to arbitrarily subjugate people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they have held a very high standard for a very long time. It is one of the few “brands” of reviews that has remained trustworthy over the years. They only award a star to excellence; nothing in the guide is bad. Indeed there is lots of good food that’s never mentioned in the guide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know you said no gyms, but a few sessions with a personal trainer at a gym isn’t a terrible idea. The PT will give you a realistic plan to get started. Some goals to keep you on track, and they’ll be that important role of the person checking in on your progress, and appointments you need to keep. Yeah, it’s all a bit of self-delusion… you can get most of this from the web for free, but sometimes having another person to push you is hugely helpful.

  Also, pick up basketball, hockey, soccer/football, and rugby are fantastic exercise that feel like the chore of exercising because they’re a game. If you like cycling, there’s likely a local group or two you can join for long weekend rides.

  I can’t speak to the anxiety and depression, so my advice might not be good advice for you.

  They’ve been able to detect commercial VPNs for a long time. They’re just starting to care enough to take some action now.

  YouTube is drowning in it, and Google/YT leadership either doesn’t care or doesn’t seem to realize it. I started using Grayjay recently, subscribed to just creators I like. And for the first time in a long while, my feed isn’t two-thirds AI slop. It’s made YouTube tolerable again.
