Hard disagree. The title isn’t shitty. The worst harm that could’ve come to you is that you spend 30 seconds watching a video that you realise isn’t for you. This horrible fate is a risk you run when browsing the interwebs.
Yes it might be annoying expecting a concise lecture about domains, but you only need to spend 30 seconds to realise it and you can avoid map men forever if you wish.
Your expectation seems to be that video titles should be there to provide all context before watching, and while that may be true and desirable for fully educational channels, this isn’t one of them. You’ve got the wrong expectations coming into it.
What do you think is a better title? “This is a humorous video about country codes on the internet. Please watch only if you are willing to be amused and not thoroughly educated.”

You’ve got the wrong mindset going into it. Would you really go to a standup comedy and then complain you learned nothing useful? These videos are for entertainment foremost, lecturing second, concise factual information not at all.
- Comment on You'll never guess the most popular internet country code 11 months ago:
The point of this video really isn’t to just give information, but rather to be funny and entertaining.

It’s really funny but I share your skepticism. At least the labels appear to be edited in after the fact, they’re way too clear and similar and not messy enough to be real, unless there’s something new with DallE-3 I guess.

CS2 is CS:GO 👍

By that logic buying a better pc is cheating because it gives you an advantage. We need some nuance here. All modifications to game files are not cheating, (even if not allowed in any case), because well, not all modifications are cheats. This is a great example actually, because AMD sanctioned, graphics card driver latency reduction isn’t a cheat. Obviously the way it was implemented was clearly very problematic and should’ve never been greenlit.
However, this isn’t an unintentional cheat and detecting it as such is incorrect. It is, however, a modification and those are reasonably disallowed, it is totally fair to disallow that.

I suspect the angle might make the space look smaller too, it’s possible that the wall actually extends a bit out without being solid inside

There will be a $20 gift fee and an additional service and shipping fee. How much would you like to tip? 12, 16 or 20%?
- Comment on Philosophy meme 1 year ago:
Yeah, I don’t think there could exist such a thing as an objective moral truth - per definition.
- Comment on Philosophy meme 1 year ago:
Objective != Better/stronger/more true
Just because something is clearly (to any sane human) true doesn’t mean it’s objective. It’s still subjective.
An objective moral truth is basically an oxymoron
- Comment on Philosophy meme 1 year ago:
You can quantity maths. It’s the prime example of something objective and quantifiable. No I’m clearly not saying that.
What I mean with “exists only in our minds” is that it isn’t some externally measurable thing. There is no moralometer which can measure the morality of an action. It only exists to us, humans. That makes it subjective.
If you’re wondering about the meaning of the previous comment it is to clarify that saying there are no objective moral truths doesn’t mean I am dismissing morality. It just means that objectivity isn’t applicable to it.
- Comment on Philosophy meme 1 year ago:
Saying that something isn’t objectively quantifiable (like morality)
isn’t a value judgement on it
Subjectively the morality of your example is abhorrent, but objectively you cannot, cannot , cannot! quantity it! Morality only exists in our minds! That doesn’t make it any less meaningful, but it makes it
not
objective

Do we know that? No. We literally, truly, don’t know that. We may think it exists - I do, and so do you - but without empirical evidence we can’t know for certain.

This doesn’t prove anything? I mean… There are people who don’t think women should vote, or that slavery was good…
- Comment on But my WiFi is just fine! 1 year ago:
I have 0 faith that a router which doesn’t have high speed ethernet will ever be able to deliver such fast WiFi. If they’ve cheaped out on the ethernet I doubt they’ve splurged on WiFi most devices can’t use. And if you’re talking about fast ethernet, then WiFi is chanceless.

Honestly I just can’t believe it. It’s so unbelievably stupid and prone to fraud. How did they come to this decision??

That’s without a doubt not what Unity means here though

The EU only cares if your website affects EU citizens. This one has pulled out of the EU market entirely, the EU doesn’t care then and have no jurisdiction either then.

It’s not a tip. They’ve literally just increased the prices without showing and lying about it on the menu.
