There are plenty of Reddit refuges here so we can still get those old vibes.
I think the lack of context hurt your post the most. And as another mentioned, youboob doesn’t do very well here.

Probably a sweetened popcorn version. Kettle corn maybe.

I’m sorry, do you have a TLDR for your comment? ;)
Am kidding of course. I appreciate your examples and I do understand some have legitimate issues with long format media. However I was speaking in quite broad brushstrokes and still feel the general tenor of attention spans have gotten shorter and shorter. TikTok is but one example. Twitter is another. There are certainly more examples, but I won’t belabor the point. We’ve come a long way from the bards having to memorize entire stories. I do appreciate your comment.
- Comment on A long video of one person's opinion about "algorithmic complacency" 4 weeks ago:
38 minutes is too long? What a world we have when folks cannot pay attention longer than a tiktok vid. Perhaps that isn’t you, but I cringe that we have to think about that. No offense intended.
TC is a treasure, btw. Go back and view some of his other content. Not too long ago I watched his dishwasher video as I had just installed a new one. I learned quite a lot and I assumed I knew most things about them. He also explains things so thoroughly that my mother was able to follow along and appreciate the information. His demeanor helps as well. Love the guy. Thanks for the post!

It looks a bit like a Lebatt, but that’s probably not right.

Well, I did the same. After a year or so, I checked back in and I think he toned it down (unless I am missing any rant vids that might happen). I still like some of what he does as long as he keeps politics out so I got very selective. I will still watch tool teardown vids or something, but I don’t watch any of his fireside chats as I now know his worldview is skewed a bit in the wrong direction.
Despite that, he is still a very knowledgeable guy so I try and glean what I can that has actual value. That value now is certainly LESS than prior to him unveiling his conservative thoughts.

- Comment on Bernie Sanders : I attended Trump’s inauguration yesterday. Here are my thoughts. [7:00] 2 months ago:
I pine for a responsible adult leader like Bernie. Instead we get the orange clown show and his broligarchs. This is not leadership. It’s a grift and the world will suffer.

All part of the system. Stay healthy, friend!

The system traps you within. Breaking away from it can be a difficult venture and cannot be done completely without some retribution from the system itself. They’ll punish you for it to some degree and people have even been killed over it.
But yes, vanlife (or off-grid living) can liberate you to be potentially happier. At the very least unencumbering oneself from the odious monthly outlay just to live helps a lot. I don’t choose to do this (yet), but have friends that exist this way.

Yes, but I like his video better.
- Comment on USA Air Force issues new guide regarding acceptable phrases to be used when on duty 2 months ago:
We had other version suited for the office. For example, “Nice tie!” meant “fuck off” or something. Still looking again for the specific one we used in IT 20 years ago.

Dr Otto is a regular in our family. Mr Varney has been revered by us for years. Glad to know others do as well.

I loved watching Mike Rowe on Dirty Jobs, but lately he looks like a right wing nut job pushing conspiracies, so you are probably correct.

LOL. This has been my avatar in several games/forums for years now. I went and found the image when this was reposted to reddit a few years back. The monkey just looks cool!

Yes. Especially the monkey. It looked so cool I use that one as an avatar in some games.
- Comment on Smoking PSA 6 months ago:
Reminds me of the anti-smoking campaign using animals. They did look cooler.

T’was a joke. I haven’t shaved with a razor for a few years. Just knock em down with an electric trimmer. I then keep buzzing all around my head. I don’t have time for hair anymore. 😬
I do think I own the five-blade versions from Costco. They’ve lasted for a long time since I hate using a razor in the first place. My father used the single edge safety razor. Wish I’d thought to ask for it when he passed. I would try using it.

I don’t know…the commercial with the cartoon showing sixteen blades are needed for that baby smooth face seemed pretty convincing.

Incineration toilets are more common in remote facilities where disposal of excrement can pose contamination risks. That’s how I learnt of them by watching documentaries.

We just saw the episode where the wraith took over Kinko’s body and threatened to kill her if O’Brien didn’t reconfigure the comm relays. I thought, “Here’s your way out, Miles!”
- Comment on Progress! 11 months ago:
I am in S05 of DS9 (first watch) and saw this one recently in S04. We really enjoyed it.
Do they ever bring up that O’Brien isn’t the original O’Brien they knew, but rather the future O’Brien that swapped places? … I didn’t think so.
