We don't need another Ad Network! It has got out of hand already.

[@casualweekday-ytshadowbang2469]

The court segment was the best Frankie LaPenna stunt thus far.
The Green Screen Guy greened himself.

[@walter_lesaulnier]

Here in Kentucky, law enforcement drones are considered target practice. This started with DEA drones looking for pot fields.

[@Nodster]

Confirmed member of the 6 billion trolls club here :D

[@sa3270]

I don't know how we're supposed to push back though, when we aren't given choices.

[@senseiSinclair]

Use your purchasing power to make different choices, Learn new ways to navigate around some of these things. Laying down and accepting it all, is how they keep taking more from us.

[@sa3270]

I don't know...what flavor is the glue?

[@user-te1hb4gh8n]

Glue I mean the crust is already made out of glue flower and water 😂

[@walter_lesaulnier]

Google AI search also told someone that uploaded a pic of a mushroom that it was safe to eat. It was deadly poisonous, but the guy did not eat it- thankfully.

[@sproid]

Camera video feed in classroom? No way I'll ever be a teacher if that's required. Cameras for liability and security should only be for high risk jobs like police.

[@SwitchedtoLinux]

Teachers take care of our children most of their waking hours...I would call what goes in classrooms a high risk job.

[@coinwaters]

Great idea about recliner but need to add a refrigerator in the arm rest. 😂

[@SwitchedtoLinux]

That's true. But we have mini-fridges

[@sa3270]

I deleted my very rarely used PayPal account back in 2021 I think.

[@kpcraftster6580]

I'd still rather have glue on my pizza than pineapple or banana.

[@OldieBugger]

Glue or pineapple? If those were the only options, I'd go hungry.

[@casualweekday-ytshadowbang2469]

Definitively flour glue (wheatpaste)

[@JNJNRobin1337]

i have a counter about them not being able to 'record teachers' in the phone section. flip phones have allways had cameras since [i forgot when]

[@SwitchedtoLinux]

That is true. I was thinking of that, but I also know they don't recorder good quality, but it should be enough,.

[@JNJNRobin1337]

@@SwitchedtoLinux they typically arent good quality cameras, but as 'dumb phones' get more popularized, im sure that will change. that and we can relive the old times of youtube for a while somewhat

[@FelixTheAnimator]

The cameras in classes seems like it could be a good idea to me (is there an auto way to blur faces?) not only for security reasons, but also so lectures could be recorded for review.

[@STONE69_]

The best solutions to problems or you want to learn something, is right on YT or across the internet on forums from real people. Ai when it comes to video's = fake!!

[@Mackenway]

The thumbnail has *"purchashes".

[@SwitchedtoLinux]

CRAP! I'll fix it when I can. Dont have time right now.

[@patricknelson]

Last. No more comments after this.

[@SwitchedtoLinux]

Good luck with that!

[@grahamfinlayson-fife73]

🥇 first

[@jamesb2877]

Well, my pizza like pineapple with different toppings. But I was wondering, what flavor and color glue? Is it rainbow glue? Is it politically correct? glue? What are we talking here? Well, glue on pizza. I guess it takes all types, right?

[@Nodster]

The better question to be asking is if adding both pineapple and glue will make it an awesome pizza?

[@OldieBugger]

Are you moving to Idiocracy? My mom thinks America has been there already, for decades. This was after she visited US. I am not so sure, I've never visited the US of A, but the americans I've met make me think my mother has a point.

[@Nodster]

It's not just the USA at this point, TikTok proves this point daily lol
