The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

I'd love to see a new Dick Tracy in one form or another. If Beatty MUST be involved, why not do an animated series and he can do the voice?
1. 19 clips list of which are a full minute? Ain't nobody got time for that!
2. Number 10 is 100% factual and a trade secret, who divulged it? They need to be... Shipped off.
3.number 19 is... Well, probably real life/grimdark Scooby Doo. He can actually scare off the ghosts.
Not since the 60s. I mean a modern one.

Outrageous.
Funny, I didn't find any *munch munch munch* fries at the bottom of the *munch* bag
Courtesy of my dad. I had to go to the office today and as a result, have achieved a few badges.

Youtube asked me this morning about my user experience.
- Why am I getting the same videos recommended over and over, even after ignoring or asking not to be shown them. I liked the 3 hour Majuular King's Field video, but it's not my only interest. I don't want to always watch only that. I giggle now when I look at the next video button on the player, because without fail it's either that Majuular video or some Exploring Series 3 hour SCP diatribe. The same one. Every time.
- Why do you think if I show just a passing interest, like literal minutes spent on a video I normally wouldn't watch, that my recommendations should only be from that channel for 2 straight weeks?
- Do you honestly believe throttling Youtube on everything but Chrome will make me a loyal Chrome user? Or will it make me mad and look for ways to bypass it, hopefully fucking with whatever bullshit you have intended.

Is this a thing? I use Firefox and don’t have issues with YouTube.

As I posted in another thread, it is definitely a thing. But Youtube has learned to roll out unpopular changes in stages, only affecting a limited amount of users at a time, so that there isn't a massive universal storm of twitter backlash (they did that with their adblocking changes too). It was confirmed weeks ago, but it just happened to me for the first time 2 days ago. Installing the firefox user agent switcher addon and telling it to pretend I'm using chrome immediately fixed all my buffering issues with youtube.
Complaints are easier to bury in noise when you flatten the curve.

They also get to gaslight people who are in the first phase.
Galactus is a character who eats planets in Marvel comics. If Galactus goes monrhs without eating a planet they go insane from hunger.
If Galactus ate a planet every second of the day, they would only eat 0.00025% of the plantets in the universe, if they started eating at the creation of the universe.
Yes, my wife is away on a business trip. Why do you ask?

Ah, you assume that the Marvel Universe is the same size as the real one when it's probably much much smaller due to the writers underestimating just how vastly, hugely mindbogglingly big space really is. For me the real question is if Galactus needs to eat a planet every few months but scientists estimate that even the fastest forming planets take about 10 million years to form, just what was he eating in the early universe?
Hostess Fruit Pies.
Doesn't he need planets with life on them, thus cutting down on the number of viable ones by a lot (even by marvel universe standards).
What planets are really made off.

I'm going to a fish fry tomorrow night. I was telling a friend and she asked, "Christian or Catholic?" When I asked for a little more information on the question she said, "I mean the fish."
Uh...I think fish are atheists. Or even if they are religious I doubt that they'd pick the guy who took one of them and ripped it in half 5,000 times to feed the multitudes with loaves of bread. They probably looked up in fear as he walked over them on top of the water. To fish, Jesus was probably akin to the devil.
