You're going to start a fight with the doas people.

same amount of effort

Physical effort, yes. Cognitive effort, no.

  • Intros on a serial show are expected, and in some cases change subtly from one episode to another to provide additional entertainment value (eg the Simpsons intro). In other cases a change of intro sets the setting for the episode (eg Star Trek: Enterprise's Storm Front episodes).
  • YouTube ads are not related to the show, provide no contextual value, and in the case of interstitial ads are not even at a predictable time. They also tend to be inanely repetitive, showing the same ad over and over in consecutive videos. Contrast those to eg halftime ads at the Superbowl broadcasts, which have predictable timing, variety, and have a history of being (or trying to be) entertaining.

There's Amazon's mechanical Turk, and after that self driving car hit a pedestrian and stopped on top of him it turned out that Cruise "self driving" cars depend on human operators when they get stuck.

skibidi and gyatt isn't a real word

Every word that we use wasn't a real word until it started getting used. Rejecting new words is a prescriptivist fallacy. If anything this is an exciting time, because we get to study accelerated language changes.

I don't get why people are down voting this. Your approach is a perfectly acceptable blueprint for reducing meat consumption. Getting upset at you because you haven't fully embraced veganism is letting perfect become the enemy of good enough.

When I was younger and more naïve, I used to think a case was useless. I kept my phones in my pocket most of the time, and didn't feel particularly clumsy or reckless. Then I got a phone that happened to have a glass back, and it broke not because I fumbled it, but because it slid out of my pocket onto time floor while I was sitting down. Glass backs on phones are bullshit.
