I wouldn’t be surprised, but I’m not convinced downvoting comments has any effect on YouTube.

The names and PFPs still give it away if you know about them.

They’re not just “casually” stealing comments. They steal a random comment from the video, then have a bunch of other bots give it a bunch of thumbs up so that it appears towards the top and accumulates more upvotes than most human comments make. 95% of the time it seems, the real comment has one or two upvotes and is buried so far you have to scroll multiple pages to reach it.

Disney says Piccolo agreed to similar language again when purchasing park tickets online in September 2023. Whether he actually read the fine print at any point, it adds, is “immaterial.”

Whuh? Why didn’t they make their case around that instead of Disney+?

I suspect there’s a law requiring it, because I don’t think corporations would choose to be that nice.

That’s why I asked. Wasn’t sure if it was a joke about the name, or if it’s someone pretending to be Taylor Swift, or the real deal (which I never heard of because I don’t follow Taylor Swift - or because it’s not real.)

Is it actually Taylor Swift?

Ladies and gentlemen, we gottem.

And bears around 130 probably know that too.

Well thanks, but to be fair, I was asking Scrubbles. When it comes to an opinion I disagree with, it’s more fruitful to talk to the person who holds that opinion than it is to deride the opinion with someone else who already agrees with me. Partially because there’s a good chance of a misunderstanding.

Not to say the rest of your remark is invalid, just addressing the first sentence where you seem to be speaking on Scrubbles’ behalf.

Am I reading this right? Are you saying that churches are worse than house-hoarding landlords, just because they think they’re doing good but a lot of them don’t? Even the 18% of churches that rent their buildings from other churches^[1] (or the ones that rent non-church properties like theaters or schools,) and thus almost certainly don’t even have a property they could give? Or what about the 48% of churches that run or support a food pantry^[2], and are thus doing good?

You conflate Christianity with Republicanism. Please do not act like churches are the mastermind behind politicians who use vaguely church-scented branding to try to pander to Christians while acting against many of the principles laid out in the Bible.

Well it can’t be exclusively caused by red states, but I see what you mean. I’m just not a fan of the implication that churches have something to do with it.

I do not understand these downvotes. Like how dare you see churches that actually help the poor like they’re supposed to?

That being said, it does seem that its the areas with lots of churches that create the conditions for homelessness

Huh? Is this like a red state/blue state thing, or do you have something to indicate that towns with more churches generate more homeless? It doesn’t really make sense to me because homelessness is tied to housing prices, and cities are where housing is more expensive, and the ratio of church to population is probably a lot lower in cities.

You wanna work weekends?

If talking about work is undesirable at the meetings, maybe you can treat it as more of a social event? I don’t know the atmosphere, but it sounds like it might be. You’re getting paid for it anyways.

I searched through the whole crossword puzzle twice before I realized you were mentioning an alternate answer (which doesn’t fit in the blank) and not pointing out a nonsense word in the puzzle. 88 across is was, by the way.

52 down: What you say if you’re angry.

Used to be, when you’d search “man meme” on Google Images, you’d get a note saying memes about groups of people may be offensive. It doesn’t anymore, but that’s not a double standard thing because it also doesn’t if you search “woman meme.” Still does if you search races.
