Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

Hi, I am a guy in early thirties with a wife and two kids and whenever I go on youtube it always suggests conservative things like guys dunking on women, ben shapiro reacting to some bullshit, joe rogan, all the works. I almost never allow it to go to that type of video and when I do it is either by accident or by curiosity. My...

derf82,

I get them all the time. Pro-gun crap, Jordon Peterson, Joe Rogan, and other trash. I constantly hit “don’t recommend this channel” or “show me less of this” but they still come. I honestly think Youtube is getting paid off.

Bingo. TARGETED ads is where the money is. They need the app to collect data. This is about selling your data.

Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the...

NYC’s Central Park has 843 acres

Cleveland’s Emerald Necklace has 7 parks with over 1,500 acres. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Metroparks

And that doesn’t even count a 32,000 acre national park just south of greater Cleveland.

New York is just a more famous large city. Plenty of other cities have vast parks.

People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies.

First, things are not so binary that it’s either high rises and boonies.

Second, NYC has a huge central business district. My own city does not have enough high rises to surround a large park. Such a park would destroy most midsize cities, not enhance them.

Less than 12,000 people live in downtown Cleveland to NYC’s 1.6 million in Manhattan alone. My whole county has 1.26 million, NYC has 8.8 million. I bet person for person, Cleveland has more space than Manhattan

Consider Public Square and the Group Plan malls. Cleveland is also working in a lakefront development.

Culver’s. Butter burgers, cheese curds, and custard all in one spot.

During travel, what can I prepare beforehand as meal, which can be eaten without access to fire or microwave?

I’m going from Hong Kong to Iceland next month. I’ve read that everything there, including food, are quite expensive. So my wife and I have been researching on how to prepare meal or snack that we can eat during the day instead of going to restaurant....

For 2 people it’s at least around $2,000 (or the local equivalent) from Hong Kong round trip. Kind of cheap, but not that cheap.

Still, given the carbon emissions of flying, it is far too cheap to fly in general.

I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)?

Even if we’re subscribed to them? Could a temp block exist in conjunction with a subscription? I love c/memes but holy shit no matter which sort I select by they’ve managed to overwhelm my feed.

derf82,

I unsubbed for the same reason. Some funny content, but it was the only content.

Maybe if they code something like a multireddit so you could read specific subs without subscribing.
