I guess I was thinking of how to videos like how to fix a part on your car. But yeah I can see how how to videos like that still being an opportunity for Google to make money.

I don't usually do guided tours at museums, but I really enjoyed the one at the Dali. I learned tons of neat facts about Dali, and also that the building was pretty hurricane proof!

I was going to say "ahh, too bad the Internet isn't really helpful for that method of learning", but with AI who knows, maybe that'll be something your computer can do before too long

I mean, I'm definitely voting for Biden, but I hope it saves the country.

Looks gorgeous, like the original. I'm curious if it'll be harder than the original, being in full 3D. With the ability to freely run around everywhere, it might be easier to miss something than if you only jumped between predetermined points. Maybe not, I can't remember if everything important in Riven was visually distinctive, or if there are things hidden in the background that are easy to overlook.

They built an awesome tower in the forest, only to put a wireless router on top.

Okay, I know at this point I'm not going to change your mind, but since I can't rule out that you truly don't understand how my basketball analogy relates to the Twitter action, here's my best attempt at an explanation

In Twitter's actions:

Ownership: Twitter owns the platform and has control over usernames, similar to how the person with the basketball owns the ball in the game.

Unfair action: Twitter took over a specific username without any prior warning or valid reason. This can be seen as an unfair move, as it disregards the user who previously claimed the username.

Moral implication: Just because twitter has the technical power and legal authority to control usernames doesn't necessarily mean it is morally acceptable to take away a username from someone else arbitrarily. It's a dick move because it shows a lack of consideration for the user who may have had an attachment to that username.

In the basketball analogy:

Ownership: The person who brought the basketball to the game owns the ball, just like Twitter owns the platform.

Unfair action: If the person who owns the ball suddenly decides to cancel the game and leave when their team is losing, it would be seen as an unfair and unsportsmanlike action.

Moral implication: Although the person has the right to take their ball and leave since they own it, doing so without warning and when their team is losing disregards the other players' interests and ruins the fun for everyone else. It shows a lack of consideration for the fairness and enjoyment of the participants.

In both cases, the common thread is the concept of fairness and respect for others. Just because someone owns something (be a basketball or Twitter) doesn't give them a free pass to act in an insensitive or inconsiderate manner. In a moral context, it's important to consider the impact of one's actions on others and to treat them with fairness and empathy, even if you have the right to do otherwise. Both situations address the significance of ethical behavior and being mindful of how our actions affect others, even when we have certain ownership rights.
