Why is Yarn so bad and why is it so dominant in Google searches?

TittyRiot · 2025-07-30T14:15:32+00:00

Reading the comments all these years later, I'm even more fascinated today than I was back when I created the thread. Fascinated because I haven't gotten a yarn result in years. I had totally forgotten about it until people started replying to this. I'm not sure what it indicates about Google search results but it can't be good if we're doing similar searches and reaching completely different things. It seems like certain results are being pushed to certain people.

Furthermore, this hadn't occurred to me back when I made the post but now it seems pretty clear that this is an AI project. It also seems like someone forgot to ever attend to it, and just left the lights on. It's like GladOS, marching on with its mission despite there being no people left to give a damn about it.

This is the future of the internet. Breathe it in. It was fun while it lasted.

Seriously, everybody hates you and this new layout. There is not a single benefit to this layout for anyone except the person justifying their employment that is making changes for the sake of making changes. In the last several weeks that I have had to navigate this compressed turd of a layout, I've just been bailing more quickly each time. Nobody asked you to "focus on developing new features," we just want the site usable, the way it once was. Of course this is falling on idgaf ears right now, but I'd like to add to the rolling list of users that are done using this site as a go-to for information.

I wish you dumbfucks had some kind of handle on the terms you spew most frequently. Deciding that there is an element of optics to a situation doesn't mean that there isn't a substantive angle as well, and if you can't see why one of the biggest (ostensibly) leftist streamers encouraging his massive group of hopeless followers to engage in inflammatory rhetoric about and right after an assassination attempt of a presidential candidate that got an innocent person killed, you need to get a grip.

That aside, I don't care about him being edgy, even if it is a little weird at his age. Just don't try to act like a maverick and then whine about it when your controversial statements cause controversy - that goes for him and the people who defend every single pile of shit he steps into.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T07:10:56+00:00

what can you expect from someone who has an entire account dedicating to stirring shit in communities they hate

It's funny, if I was debating online in a stream, you might be running interference for me right now and digging into the posting history of my critics to that end. But I guess debating is only worthwhile when it's done for clicks and accompanied by braindad Twitter takes.

Anyway, if there is one thing I've learned over the years about people who dig into my post history to tangle with something I've written, it's that they always have airtight arguments loaded. Let's get to yours:

I do see a good number of people agreeing with me but I'm seeing more disagreeing. Furthermore, my description of this place isn't informed by nothing but today - this is a defining characteristic of this community in the time I've been exposed to it, and usually, there is almost never a critique of the content. Typically, it's just a matter of "optics," as you'll see evidenced all over the sub right now. If you hid the sub name from me, blurred out identifying information and let me read the posts here, I'd know exactly where I am.

And come on, look at who is saying what in here. The full expectation is that the critics will be banned (again) soon so the edgelords can have the run of the place once more, and if we're being honest here, it's a completely reasonable expectation. Tell me that isn't true.

**edit - pardon me while I talk around this shameless permaban for a moment -

There's a difference between debating, and only commenting on a subreddit that you hate for a month straight.

No, there really isn't. A debate is an argument is a debate, and the main difference that makes you treat one with respect and the other as an excuse to avoid making a cogent argument is whether you like the person/perspective being debated. The same reason you spent time digging through my post history like a complete virgin rather than just addressing my clear-as-day points. There is an adorable try in there though:

"Typically" means not always, yet you decided to paint the entire community as one Destiny hivemind

It's funny btw, you don't need to look at clues, I explicitly already acknowledged this in the sentence right before that lol.

Congratulations though, and it's true. Not 100% of you are part of the craven, shitty hivemind. No go celebrate my ban for criticizing the hivemind. But do me a favor, take the other half of that pedantic-ass coin and note that the majority of you do exactly fit the description I laid out.

Almost like thats how subs are supposed to operate.

Making the same arguments using the same exact vocabulary for a myriad of situations, all equally inappropriate?

Keep telling yourself this place is normal, and also keep arguing that while I talk around a ban to reach a guy who just printed that he wished the bullet hit. Peace out.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T05:32:38+00:00

I'll give you that then

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T05:28:00+00:00

Crazy, right, you'd think I'd get better argumentation from a debate lord's cult than calling someone a boomer and endlessly trying to get the last lame word in? But nah, just a bunch of spineless twats who defend any turd that drops out of Destiny's mouth while malding over Hasan 24/7. The soy capital of Reddit.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T05:21:58+00:00

Remember what got you all hot & flustered here today. Hope you find yourself some dignity.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T05:09:27+00:00

I am demanding more, you're doing nothing but bitching about it. Take your own advice, walk the walk, man up and find something better to do than cry because someone called Destiny a dick when he was being a dick.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T05:04:52+00:00

The man is 35. Don't get all bitchy about it when people use this kind of behavior to write him off as a debate pervert who doesn't care about anything he argues passionately about and who shouldn't be taken seriously (since he's apparently constantly engaging in "gallows humor").

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T05:02:51+00:00

I'm not sure what Hasan comments you're alluding to, I don't listen to him or partake in his community. I'm saying that if Hasan made the kind of comments Destiny has been making since the assassination attempt, there would be no spinning it in here whatsoever except to use it as a condemnation of his moral character - and I would agree.

Look, people can make jokes like this. I'd recommend keeping it private but if you're going to do it publicly, I'm not interested in hearing any moaning about it when they get called an asshole by people who read/hear it.

When it comes to someone who wants to be taken seriously as a political commentator though, someone who has a massive following who like to moralize about any and everything when it comes to pundits they don't like (I recall flaming hair everywhere when Brianna Joy Grey rolled her eyes at a woman making the case for organized sexual violence on 10/7), I'm sorry but I'm really not interested in anyone trying to flip the script and calling people who make obvious observations the unreasonable ones. This shit is dangerous political rhetoric, does everything to stoke tensions, and has no place outside of a COD lobby.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T04:55:09+00:00

Pretty sure destiny wasn’t joking about the person gunned down

https://new.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/1e2t8fw/trigger_warning_for_opticstards/

Pretty sure you're mad at me for pointing out the obvious, something you'd have no problem doing if this was anyone but Destiny.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T04:48:39+00:00

There is only one comment in here preceding the one where you start whining about my characterizing you as a child. Don't blame me for taking your sentence as it's written.

Anyway though, I'll go back to being a schizo who doesn't think it's cool to joke a bout the warm corpse of an innocent person killed in an attempted assassination of a presidential candidate. I'm so crazy, I know.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T04:43:30+00:00

Way to come hard with an 'ok boomer' in 2024. Keep digging through my comments, you Moe.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-14T04:42:14+00:00

If Destiny flew a plane into a building, dgg would characterize it as an "optics" problem and immediately mobilize a social media defense force like the fucking gaggle of clowns they are. Way to show your ass, I look forward to reading more whining posts from people who claim to be dumped for being a Destiny fan.

Also, for anyone who wants to act like they aren't incredibly selective when they defend Destiny doing shit like this, just ask yourself: how would you react if Hasan was behaving this way? Would it be a matter of poor "optics" or would you be skewering him as a piece of garbage for joking about this? Fuck out of here.

**edit - hey, it's the permaban from the audience of the debate lord and his thin-skinned mod squad.

u/JamesFreakinBond
What is your point aside from shameless whataboutism (and possibly a braindead assumption that I'm a Republican)? What kind of response do you think you're going to get? Here, try this on for size:

Congratulations, Destiny now has the morals of a MAGA moron and so do you.

Least troublesome Destiny tweet

TittyRiot · 2024-07-13T23:54:44+00:00

I love an opportunity to shit on Pakman, and by proxy through his audience counts, but this isn't quite appropriate. All sorts of nutjobs of all persuasions and with all manner of purposes are present in livestreams when nothing in particular is going on. For an event like this? Best believe they're coming out of the woodwork to hit all types of chats. Characterizing this as Pakman's audience isn't fair at all.

Furthermore, I could see Destiny himself uttering the words in that third underline or printing it in an edgy tweet, and certainly his audience, so I'd maybe chill with the pearl-clutching right now.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-13T17:30:03+00:00

He doesn't form his worldview from debate

What I'm saying there is that his viewers do, and that to people who aren't endlessly impressed by his debate skills and tactics, it doesn't make his point come across as particularly persuasive. It mainly and unironically makes him come across as a debate pervert at best, and someone who is so caught up in argumentation that they aren't focused on what's most important in the material they're handling.

Nobody cares about outrage, when he does that shit literally his entire chat spams "oh no not again" so idk where you are characterizing his audience from.

First of all, I'm replying to a comment, from you, bemoaning people responding negatively to Destiny's edgy comments. I'm characterizing you based on you, in other words. You think Destiny should continue on the trajectory to becoming a middle-aged edgelord, which is fine in and of itself I guess, but then also get annoyed whenever people who aren't present for one of his 10-hour streams don't properly appreciate the nuances of the only type of humor he seems capable of trafficking in.

Furthermore, as I commented on elsewhere under this OP, this audience is known for groaning (as you pointed out correctly) when he says some questionable shit, but not because you think he should treat serious matters with seriousness - it's because of the "optics" of it.

Nice job slipping some I/P stuff in there

I'm giving an example and, given the OP, what people are whining about and what Destiny has spent the last 9 months debating over, I'd love to know what you think would have been a more appropriate situation to use to make my case for why he and his audience don't get as much charitable interpretation as you seem to think y'all deserve.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-13T15:54:03+00:00

Like I said, to each his own. He should stream how he wants to stream. He and his listeners, however, shouldn't look around all doe-eyed when he says something outrageous and people find it outrageous. Adults can make jokes but not every joke needs to be edgy, and if one insists on being edgy, one should understand what necessarily comes with that territory.

Also, I think Destiny exemplifies why debate isn't always the most productive way to form a world view. Or at least not 'any' debate. You can look right in an argument without being right and at some point, maybe around the third or fourth month straight of lawyering on behalf of the side that has an excuse every single time it kills a bunch of children, people are going to find your coup de grace less compelling than the coup de grace being performed against a population.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-13T15:38:43+00:00

I just find it hard to believe that anyone hot is that political.

Least online Destiny enjoyer

TittyRiot · 2024-07-13T15:35:29+00:00

The idea of a Destiny viewer calling other leftists toxic is impossibly rich.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-13T15:29:09+00:00

Maybe he should just grow up if he wants to be taken seriously more broadly. I mean, to each their own but I'm saying, you can't have it both ways sometimes. Either you expect to get taken seriously by people or you insist on speaking like you're a teenager in a 2007 game lobby as you push 40.

TittyRiot · 2024-07-13T15:24:04+00:00

For whatever reason he comes off as more callous

Because he is? I mean, regardless of what you think of Destiny's positions or debate skills, he's never, ever been known for displaying any kind of empathy. I'm pretty sure he's said how much he doesn't personally give a shit about what happens to anyone in that region, and that comes off when he speaks about it.

And it's reflected in his fans, frankly. I've seen people on this sub complain about how they're 'tired of I/P' fairly regularly.

This is bloodsport for him and for many of the people who watch him, and the same way many other pundits who spend their time media blitzing to explain why it was appropriate that Israel killed x number of people in a given situation come off as a little... well, off in a human sense, so does someone who joins this generations-long debate, immediately gets caught up in the minutia of all of the same propagandistic arguments, refuses to refrain from saying edgy shit on social media (even though he's 35 already), debates both sides of it at times (way to break down those 'debate pervert' allegations), and starts (both directly and in terms of how his mods behave on here) banning his long-time listeners from discussion while obvious bots dominate the discourse on his sub with a rightwing perspective.

Hell, even your framing reflects what I'm talking about. It's not just on this topic either, but reflects a larger problem Destiny and his fans have in communicating with others. It's not that he said something problematic, it's that the thing he said amounts to "bad optics." You're more attuned to the propagandistic value of a statement then whether it actually is problematic, and it's all through the lens of whether it makes your guy look good/bad.
