Politicians
maybe even dumber than people eating detergent.
Yeah, I don’t think the shape and color of laundry detergent packs needs to be regulated to make them less appetizing.
YouTube takes further action against Logan Paul, suspends all ads on channel
YouTube is suspending ads on all of Logan Paul’s videos after the personality uploaded a series of recent and offensive vlogs encouraging bad behavior.
This is a bigger consequence for Paul than YouTube’s first punishment, which simply was to remove Paul from Google Preferred, the company’s top-tier ad group for creators. Now, Paul will not profit from advertising on any of his videos for the time being.
A YouTube representative told Polygon it wasn’t a decision the company made lightly, but YouTube believes his entire channel is unsuitable for advertisers.
“After careful consideration, we have decided to temporarily suspend ads on Logan Paul’s YouTube channels,” the representative said. “This is not a decision we made lightly. However, we believe he has exhibited a pattern of behavior in his videos that makes his channel not only unsuitable for advertisers, but also potentially damaging to the broader creator community.”
Paul became one of YouTube’s most notorious creators in January, after he faced global criticism for uploading a video that contained the body of a man who recently committed suicide. YouTube canceled all of Paul’s YouTube Red series as a result, and dropped him from the Google Preferred program.
Since returning to YouTube, Paul has encouraged people to participate in the TidePod challenge — a dangerous trend where people eat TidePod detergent packs and an activity that YouTube has taken strict action against — along with tasering dead rats and using inappropriate tags for his videos.
If Paul continues to promote content that YouTube finds harmful for the community, he could be dropped from YouTube’s Partner Program entirely, ensuring he will never receive ads on his videos again.
The company isn’t trying to tell creators which types of content they should be creating. YouTube is asking that all creators keep in mind that, if their content is monetized and it violates the company’s guidelines, they may lose access to monetization features entirely.
So much that I’m posting twice about it.
The post so nice that you reply to it twice?
I watched the pilot episode of Altered Carbon. My dad was turned off because “it’s just too weird.” I didn’t like it either, but after some thought, I decided it was because there was no vested interest in the characters.
The main character is a super-soldier assassin anti-hero, in a future dystopia filled with who-cares-who-these-people-are, and he’s been hired by some rich dude who was (almost) assassinated but there’s no emotional investment in why it matters. The main character is really just looking into it because he has nothing better to do.
I read an article that lambasted critics for being turned off by the series and not bothering after the first few episodes. The writer of the article said they should have given the show a fair shake by hanging on for 10 or more episodes at least. But I don’t agree with that sentiment at all. First impressions are important, and time is a precious commodity. If you can’t capture my interest in the first few episodes, then you’re wasting my time that I could be using on something else that doesn’t take 7 hours (45 minutes x 10 episodes) of viewing time to maybe start piquing my interest.
ask if they have advice on getting out the stain, and if they do ask them if they will be your friend.
I thought it was hilarious, but didn’t say anything.
I think it will be open ended. It’s better to be able to continue the adventures of young Solo.
How old was Han Solo in ANH?
My brother-in-law was surprised they’re releasing Solo in summer. He was getting used to the idea of having a Star Wars Christmas every year.
I’m surprised that they are, but more because I would have thought firing directors would have created the need for more time to reshoot and such.
I’m annoyed by Rogue One’s abrupt end, if you compare it to the rest of Star Wars. I wonder if that’s going to become a Anthology thing and Solo will also end sort of abruptly.
That’d be a weird tradition to have. Seems more like a result of the story Rogue One was telling.
It’s not inconceivable for Solo to end with Han landing at Mos Eisley or going into the cantina.
^What’s up with the new underlining being broken by punctuation and letters going under the line? Makes it look like there’s multiple links there.
Looks fine to me.
I still just can’t even.
I thought the white/gold people were trolling.
Still not sure they aren’t.
What that means is that the dress is ugly. In the right lighting conditions, in real life, it could look blue/black and white/gold at the same time on different parts of the dress.
Pretty sure that’s a parody news site.
Had to check the main index page to be sure, though.
Though I know it’s an image of ST Luke, I keep seeing Collipso’s avatar as a green-headed robot with three legs.
What?!?
Okay wait…
…What? Has it been Luke this whole time? o.O
Wow. Okay, then.
I saw a Youtube video that posited that Holdo calculated to hit the ships at the moment before the ship entered hyperspace, when the ship was travelling at relativistic speeds, and applies physics to it to explain why it makes sense (and yet sort of doesn’t).

With regard to how it doesn’t makes sense, he says that if the math works out, her ship hitting the fleet at relativistic speeds should have atomized the entire fleet rather than merely breaking the ships in half.
Stained clothes are a trademark in my family, so I doubt they have any stain-removing knowledge in their databanks. And my friends are all in my head.
My mother-in-law has said you shouldn’t put stained clothes through the dryer because it makes it harder to get them out.
Try pouring a spot of liquid laundry detergent on the stain, let it sit for a few minutes and then scrub at it with a brush (like one from your kitchen sink).
I also think I remember reading somewhere possibly using toothpaste, or club soda, or white vinegar.
Curly fries.
I came here originally because a user at the Telltale Games forums brought up Adywan’s ANH:R in the middle of a communal rant about George Lucas.
My first post, from August 2010, is on Ady’s ANH:R thread asking for help finding the Purist Edition.
I started posting/visiting more often, though still only sporadically, after Harmy’s release of SW:DE 2.0. When I really started being active was when I moved into Off-Topic some time early last year.
Looks like the Russian is returning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrWNl8grkrU
I don’t know who this is, but it looks like Lux Interior, singer for the Cramps and a personal hero.
Romulan senator, manipulated by Captain Sisko and Garak to dupe the Romulans into helping Starfleet fight the Dominion. He wasn’t himself successfully manipulated, but his subsequent death (by Garak) was suspicious enough to get the job done.
Sisko doesn’t like it at all. But… he can live with it.
I am really enjoying this.
Glad to oblige, old timer. 😉
So the answer is “I don’t.”? Then I honestly don’t understand Frink’s response, other than he doesn’t like it. That shouldn’t invalidate my listening to it, because I never said other people should.
It’s like me telling someone they should explain why they listen to bluegrass.
Between that and Dom watching that xXx, we need a “Why Did You Watch/Read/Listento That?” thread.
Why do I need to say why I listened to it?
The exact same reason why you need to say you listened to it in the first place.
Oh.
Okay, then.

Why do I need to say why I listened to it?
Can’t tell if serious.
Actually, I am. I imagine you’re just saying you don’t like it, but you didn’t listen to it. I did. I like rock and alternative music, and that album is pretty good. It’ not my all-time favorite or whatever, but I like it.
Why do people on live streams and on fourm sites including this one ask for mod.
I don’t have any idea what this means.
I am asking why do people ask for mod
This does not clarify things.
He wants to know why some people keep asking to be moderators (even though I’ve never seen this here).
See, I had no idea if he was asking why people ask to be a mod, or why people ask for a mod, and I’m still not convinced it’s the former. Or that it’s either of those two things at all.
I took it as saying they “ask for mod privileges”.
