This is my experience going into youtube ‘clean’ every time. Any video you watch will result in a flood of that genre, either some toxic garbage or something totally innocuous, like watching some people make a big ass Kit-Kat bar. Like, sorry youtube AI, that was a one-off, I’m not here to see every single brand of candy bar made into every ridiculous size.
It wasn’t even Hot Babe Clickbait because the goddamn Kit-Kat is eclipsing her and the sun and everything. Look at the size of that mf.

I used to get dirty looks when I ordered an extra hot latte. I can’t even imagine this. I didn’t even want it extra hot, there was just a 1 out of 3 chance they would hand me a bathwater temperature coffee, and extra hot was just saying look make it like you’re supposed to man.

You probably don’t know this but the Daily Star is just a sensationalist rag (though these claims are nothing new).
Starbucks needs a separate line for people just ordering coffee. I don’t even go anymore because it’s always a 10 min wait behind triple soy no foam extra shot kid temp iced poop cream drinks.

Oh yeah, just logging in from the same IP will do it, but it’s at least making them earn it.
I’m actually kinda disappointed they can’t figure out that the “me” in Chicago and the “me” in Toronto using the VPN are the same me even if they don’t know who that me is. Like, you got a Google user with a static IP in Chicago and dozens of different IPs in Toronto in the same day, that’s obviously somebody using a VPN, come on now. They should give me Chicago hits when I search not crazy Canadian shit.
We’re a long way from Skynet is what I’m saying.
I think I fast forwarded to when the actual big ass bar was being created. Less talk, more big candy.
The Peet’s I went to in San Francisco back in the day had this. Nothing more satisfying than watching someone try to order a caramel coffee milkshake and get punted to the back of the other line.

So what I’m gathering is you fucking pussies don’t just eat spoonfuls of dry coffee grounds?
“Oh, boil it in water so I can drink it, la tee da…” like you’re the goddamn queen of England.

Well, what we’d ideally want is to tell it to stop recommending those channels to other people.

I do and it helps, but there is a literal tsunami of toxic masculinity on YouTube. I find its more effective to just give it other leads on topics I actually like (chess, cooking). The best defense is a good offense.

Tough but fair.
I got a subscription from this company - its super good stuff and relatively affordable, certainly compared to Starbucks.
We deep fry that shit
In the Before Times, the Starbucks near my office had a very effective pre-order system. I didn’t use it, but I did get to benefit from it. Most orders were submitted through the app so there was hardly ever a lineup.
It’s weird how things with coffee in them (ice cream, chocolates, porters) are so good, yet any time I’ve tried to drink actual coffee, it’s absolutely disgusting.
