Can confirm. I cull my watch history to only be furry-related videos
(a fruitless endeavor since furry youtube is kinda trash anyway)

Mine typically shows me three things: art videos, music, and space/science videos. That's all I let in the history. If I watch anything else (looking up a game review or something) I either view it in a private window or delete it from history. If stuff comes up that's kinda related but not really interesting I will mass cull it with 'not interested'.
Then, some days I will just find 1-3 videos mixed in there that are completely, totally unrelated, but just happen to be fairly popular. Way more popular than nearly anything I normally watch, which is pretty obscure on the whole. These are the kind of thing you'd see if you went to the home page in a private window (sometimes they're exactly that). I mark them 'not interested' or 'don't recommend channel', and it all goes back to normal, until after a suspiciously similar period of time (I've never counted, but maybe once a week?) the exact thing happens again. It's like they inject this stuff into my regular feed to see if they can get me watching high-engagement content, with some kind of cooldown before repeating it.

Sometimes I feel like it’s a great day to repeat a thing I’ve always found to be very true of many people I’ve met over the years…
Your life reflects the attitude you take toward it. If it smells like shit everywhere you go, the world might not be what stinks. I admit I miss when it was encouraged to take a strong, positive, and pragmatic attitude to the world instead of stomping around and pouting over things that aren’t in your control… nor that are any of your business!
People in this thread could benefit from learning to reframe their lives and do some introspection before levying broad judgments upon a world that they have little genuine insight into.
Hope everybody’s having a fantastic Tuesday

It is basically just the advice we get from teachers in middle school, packaged with a lethal dose of cringe.
It's like being given a recruitment pitch by the Scientologists and discovering that their secret to unquantifiable riches and cosmic power is eating leafy green vegetables and avoiding caffeinated beverages.
Like...okay guys...I already eat greens because I'm not a literal child, and I'm not even sure that the bit about caffeine particularly matters...oh you want me to pay $50 to buy your books and discover more 'secrets'?
I think I get recommended trending content mostly because I don't use youtube very much. I almost exclusively use the website to watch videos of driving hazards and scenarios.

Probably shouldn't take life advice from someone who was vibe checked by apple cider.

I read DMFA pretty avidly between 2007-2012. I just recently checked back on it for nostalgia, and I saw that the latest chapter is now 704 pages long (the previous record holder was about 150 pages, I think). Has Amber abandoned the division of her comic into chapters? If so, why? In the description Amber said that she's been drawing the comic for a full half of her life, which really made me think. On one hand, I'm glad that Amber has been able to work so consistently on this project for over two decades. It shows an incredible amount of dedication and motivation, and she has a core of fans that seem like a nice and supportive community. I assume that she enjoys having the comic be such an integral part of her life for all these years, and I'm happy for her as she continues into the future.
At the same time, I wonder about the storytelling aspect. How many panels does a person need to tell a story, any story? At what length does the story become too unfocused, wandering away from the goal of an ending? Is Amber's goal to just produce a comic with fun characters doing stuff, rather than tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end? If anyone who reads this still follows DMFA, what's the story doing? Is it building to any kind of conceivable ending, i.e. could you imagine what would plausibly happen at the conclusion of DMFA? This comic is unique in how it started as just friends messing around on Furcadia and then evolved into its own thing. I wonder if that non-conventional beginning means I shouldn't think of it as a conventional story.
The thing that hooked me as a reader for a while was the magic vs. technology plot line. I especially enjoyed the dynamic between Kria and Jyrras, with Kria representing the old order of "might makes right" while the normally timid Jyrras forcefully advocates for a more egalitarian world. The fact that this made Kria attracted to Jyrras was both funny and intriguing. I wondered what would happen as that part of the story progressed. How would Jyrras upend the hierarchy of the world while having friends on both sides of the divide? How would the revelation of the entirely synthetic life he has produced play into this? There are multiple puppet-masters behind the scenes, is this playing into their hands? I lost interest when I came to feel that there had been no progress on these questions.
It's just kind of frustrating. Amber has these interesting characters and a fun setting, writes good dialogue and draws good art, but ultimately there isn't enough story to satisfy me.

Scan it with an antivirus software or submit it as a sample, if you want to be certain.

I hope that you are doing well!
Was watching a series that I watched about and a half years ago. I thought that since I watched it before, it wouldn't be as impactful, but oh boy. Found myself nearly crying so I had to turn it off for a bit and watch some dumb videos online. (-ω-、)
The make you laugh thread is helping pretty well lol

Today I found murican money, two quarters and a dime, pretty coins
I wish it was a different time and this would cover a diligence trip, a beer at the saloon and scurvy medication but now its value is in the shit, maybe it buys me 15 minutes of fresh air in Manhattan. But it'll go well with the Swiss francs I found a while ago.

Sometimes, Swedish and Mexican coins get mixed in with my 'Murrican ones. It can be confusing, as some are about the same size and weight. Not that I usually carry coins with me these days, as almost all of my transactions are digital, but they do tend to accumulate after spending paper money.
