  • It’s not just theirs, I swear every fuckin streaming service has made the most dogshit algorithm of all time. If I have a playlist of 100 songs, and I hit shuffle and repeat, I expect a list to be generated with each song in a random order that will get played through until each song has been played once, and then ideally a new randomized list is generated to listen to the same 100 songs again in a different order.

    For every streaming service I have used so far, my experience is that it’ll just pick a cluster of maybe 10-15 songs, and cycle through exclusively that until the algorithm either decides you want to listen to something not on your playlist, or the internet connection breaks for a second and the algorithm just gives up completely on randomization.




  • I’ll preface this with I am not a parent and have no interest in child-rearing, so I’m speaking purely from a realm of past experience and some child development statistics I’ve read over the years.

    I’d say absolutely yes, fully knowing and expecting that they probably are planning to have sex. If you haven’t had a talk with them about what that kinda entails, I’d highly recommend doing so, and making sure that they’re practicing safe sex. This might be your kid’s very first time, and it’s very important to instill healthy sexual habits into them. If you’re in the U.S., do not think that their school’s sex education has prepared them in the slightest.

    The last thing you want for your kid is for them to go through an unexpected pregnancy or get an STD. If you teach them to be thorough about protection and consent now, it’ll set them up for the rest of their life.
