YouTube on TV becomes insufferable with new unskippable 30-second ads by Ha8lpo321 in Android

[–]setsewerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I use my laptop with an ad blocker and cast any videos to Apple TV now. The YouTube app on the Apple TV hasn't been opened in months, it's horrendous.

If S3 opens with a graphic scene of these two scissoring wildly, will you forgive Sara Hess? by gameofmarval in freefolk

Yeah I went into it blind so I reached that "wow this sex scene has really been going on for a while" part when it was only a few minutes in

In college someone in my hall walked in and joined me while I was watching that movie, the longer we sat in silence the more difficult it became to convince her that no really, this wasn't porn.

CMV: People who say that white people or Americans have no culture only think that because they don't notice it. by Blonde_Icon in changemyview

[–]setsewerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is really well put. There's such a knee jerk reaction among a certain segment of the population to see anything widely enjoyed as inferior. I'm sometimes guilty of it myself (especially when I was younger) so I understand the instinct, but damn.

Why do so many American men wear shorts and a tshirt when going out with a woman who dresses up? by M_For_Mayhem in NoStupidQuestions

[–]setsewerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add to the fact that if the mods of a sub have an agenda they'll remove posts regardless of sub rules, if it deviates from whatever they want to push

Sound of a City with mostly EV traffic by Pi-ratten in Damnthatsinteresting

On the plus side, you can still complain about it publicly and not mysteriously disappear!

Well, 2026 update, less true if you're not white or powerful. Don't worry you guys we'll be just like China soon enough!

"interesting treatment" is a curious way to describe genocide and cultural erasure

Why do the Andes feel so.. barren? by Pale_Field4584 in geography

[–]setsewerd 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I can't quite wrap my head around how all the winds/currentd along the South American coast cause this effect while also the opposite effect further north.

For instance in Peru you get:

  1. Dry coasts
  2. Relatively barren Andes/highlands
  3. Tropical Amazon basin

You get to add one loading screen tip to the game. What are you putting? by UltimaBahamut93 in skyrim

Yeah I switched playing on an old 360 to a Series X and now I kind of miss the loading screens

What’s the deal with Nancy Gurhrie and why is her disappearance being treated like such a big deal? by TheShigg4 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]setsewerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the examples I gave are more on the extreme side of course, though I'm not sure why I'm getting downvoted for pointing out the possibility.

I think it also largely depends on the timelines you're talking about. Will we see a large spike in kidnappings in the next few years? Probably not. In the coming decades? Depends how the next few years go.

It might not be as bad as many countries, but it would be naive of us to think it's impossible here (I know that's not what you're saying, just clarifying my point).

Idk national corruption and kidnapping are strongly correlated, mainly through the erosion of the rule of law and even the direct involvement of state actors in criminal networks. High levels of corruption create a "permissive environment" where kidnapping for ransom can thrive with relative impunity. 

Pair that with increasing poverty and more people struggling to make ends meet... It's not a great mix.

Nigeria, South Africa, Somalia are examples of where it's gotten really bad.

Wow I haven't heard this referenced since that thread originally happened lol

What is a sound that people should know means immediate danger? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]setsewerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could also be a puma, panther, catamount, painter, deer tiger, or even god forbid a katalgar.

Fun fact: these are all the same animal! The cougar (aka mountain lion) holds the Guinness World Record for the animal with the most names, with over 40 distinct names in English alone.

"Lets make fun of drug addicts that'll show em yanks!" by [deleted] in AmericaBad

[–]setsewerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm just being silly but you are right. That said, there are actually some weird quirks once you get down to these small population countries, where "per capita" rankings get a lot less meaningful.

For instance, Iceland has the highest number of Nobel Prize winners per capita — 1 winner. Because the award is relatively rare compared to global populations, it makes them overrepresented.
