Are they making more money through ad revenue on youtube than their own website? Because those clips are still being drip fed on youtube.

My partner and I are similar. He gets furious because I'll cook something really good and he's like 'oooh, let's put in the recipe keeper, where's the recipe, what did you do, measurements?' and I just shrug because I was raised by Italians that just knew, TY very much.

Top two are using images from same Getty account. Possibly keyword search or media writing articles based on other articles (Weather channel from AP)? Or does media have an search tool that suggests based on similar? www.gettyimages.co.nz/search/2/ima...)

What sites do they use for their stock images? If I put it in one that's more staged than general long shot public, it's mainly images that don't include people. Maybe if they had images of cooling centers or loads of people in the shade? I'm assuming they want people focus.

DeSantis has arbitrarily removed/replaced more elected Democrats from office than any modern Florida governor as a means of usurping the rights of voters in blue districts. Then they attempt to disguise themselves as Democrats to retain office in low-turnout local elections.

Dems always being held to a high standard, while GOP has trained everyone to accept whatever. I also assume there's a good portion of people it's an issue with because Biden's VP is a woman of color.

So, trying to find out if dystonia can be symptom of a metabolic disorder - put in dystonia and metabolic disorder into google, duckduckgo, reddit - you name it. All it brings up is metabolic disorder pages. This is becoming unusable too quickly.

I was going to reply about being a chicken owner and getting increasingly frustrated on the lack of basic information on their anatomy and care as pets rather than industrial objects - but I realized that we probably put just as little money into women's reproductive research and made myself sad.

I was the super weird kid, thought I wasn't taught to socialize, and only now learning the symptoms such that my 'weird'-ness is actually common 'this side' of the spectrum and held also by my autistic friends/relatives/partners. Learning how everyone else thinks has been infuriatingly enlightening.

I think you might be right. Last week, for the first and obvious time, if I put in a string of words, it picks whatever one would show up with the most popular results and shows me similar/synonyms to that single word rather than the whole thing. Even when it's in "".

"Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line." Just keep talking shit about your candidates, Dems. Keep other people from wanting to vote for them. Exercise your god given write to complain about them, and then exercise it again when they don't win.

Seeing lots of 'not voting for Biden' posts today. Coming from people that have never bothered reading policy or looking, like you mention, at the bigger picture. They're going all in the Fox 'but it /feels/ like crime is high'. As a woman, ND, gay - all I hear is they don't care if we're in danger.

So you do nothing and pretend to claim the moral high ground rather than voting for person that's going not going to try to actively harm and kill minorities in the US? As someone that's gotten legislation passed - people can make changes; but clearly you haven't even tried.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

I'll vote for the guy that originally put it in, maybe was forced to give it up because that's how compromise and politics work, and is the /most/ likely to fight for it in some other legislation or sign it when it comes across his desk.

Same about jumping right in. Looking back, I think almost all of my friends fall towards the ND end of the spectrum probably because of this. I can't recall ever having small talk with friends. Cut to me at work talking about the weather for the 5th time that week with my teammates.

I think for me it's partially watching their face fall or go bored, making me cut off a sentence midway to see if they notice, they don't, then I feel shame and shut up. Also, I got me a partner who is excited to hear all the details and overexplain to, so I learned to trust and focus on them.

Late stage capitalism isn't a good enough 'word' for this and all the other regression that grifters pull that just makes more work for everyday people. Like most people want to get through the day's tasks or make progress at work, but there's just too much of this scam admin we have to do now.

I'm finding this and last week, Google and Duckduckgo have started searching based on one single word in the string and returning the most popular results, rather than taking the query as a whole. It's utterly unusable now.
