I agree. I find men in the 18-30 range being a prime target for targeted gambling ads.

In Australia, it is also not just in app/browser ads either. Gambling promotion is very normalised and entrenched.

The major sports on news and sports shows have the odds showing who is likely to win. Some sports analysis shows (especially on pay TV) even go as far as providing overs/unders for line betting or "possibly wins" from multi-bets (bet $100 and you can win $123,000 with this combination).

Around the sports grounds - all covered in ads. The scoreboards have odds. The team and competition mobile apps all have odds. Even commentary on the radio has ads inserted regularly during a call: "Player A runs up and kicks a goal, and they are now level with 10 points on the Elon-Musk SpaceX Scoreboard. An amazing goal, it's a candidate for the Anthropic goal of the week." During quarter/half breaks, they give more options to bet on. Due to this, I prefer mostly to listen to commentary on public broadcasters as they are not allowed to contain ads at all. I find commercial radio trying to insert brand names every second sentence rather than providing expert analysis.

Similar to loot boxes for teens. It's building up habits for future gambling addictions. Mostly FPS games - that are prominently targeted at teenage boys.

The other potential issue is the age of the users.

Magic emails might work for general users, but for an 80yo who struggles using a mouse. Teaching them to click on links in emails is probably not the best practise.

YouTube as Storage 5 months ago

I seem to recall reading that the HD variations may get removed leaving only 480p or lower for older unwatched videos.

The original upload would likely still be stored, but not available for viewing.

Not really, otherwise perpetrators will just "I was just looking at it, I didn't do anything as bad as creating it". Their act is still illegal.

There was a cartoon picture I remember seeing around 15+ years ago of Bart Simpson performing a sex act. In some jurisdictions (such as Australia), this falls under the legal definition.

Next step is allow viewing TikTok like wikipedia

I tried that and this is what I got:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam tincidunt at dui vel suscipit. Donec finibus viverra tempus. Ut ut tellus ac mi ultricies fermentum a quis nulla. Vivamus urna mi, laoreet ac purus sed, ultricies tincidunt nisi. Quisque vulputate massa nec hendrerit consequat. Suspendisse potenti. Phasellus dapibus suscipit vulputate. Suspendisse id semper turpis, sit amet rhoncus nisl. Aenean auctor purus orci, eget ullamcorper lorem volutpat sit amet.

Stopped reading at "treatable with glasses."

I'm old enough to remember when vision impairment was invented. To sell glasses.

Granted some people have difficulty seeing. I'm one of them. But I've only heard of people in the US getting glasses for something which is basically a lack of looking hard enough.

Your response was ablest, dismissive and quite offensive.

1. ADHD was first described in 1798 by Sir Alexander Crichton

2. It is a neuro-developmental disorder where there is dysregulation of dopamine and norepinephrine receptors in the brain

3. It is identifiable via MRI scans where size differences were noted in specific areas of the brain (Caudate nucleus, Putamen, Nucleus accumbens, Amygdala, Hippocampus) [1]

4. It is about 80% heritable [2]. So genetics for inheriting ADHD from your parents is about equivalent to genetics from height which is also around 80%.

The "meds" increase the intensity of dopamine signals to a level that allows the brain to react to them, rather than being too low for them to be detected.

As you're well aware, simply dismissing these as random "youtube videos" is disingenuous. The footage is sourced from the Associated Press (AP) which you have no doubt heard of. It has 235 news bureaus in 94 countries worldwide, and has been around for ~180 years, also having won 59 Pulitzer prizes for its journalism.

Your claim that buildings are being destroyed because they were "booby trapped" comes from a partisan source (the Israeli Government/IDF), which is an active participant in this conflict. Their claims are a liability limiting exercise and it's in their best interests do downplay destruction they have caused.

Statements from a government at war regarding their own military conduct are basically a PR exercise unless they have been independently verified. Plus independent verification is quite hard, as the same partisan source has prevented independent media from gaining access into the strip which stops independent verification of both side's claims.

Do you have independent sources for the booby trapping other than IDF or news organisations repeating their press releases? Basically anything from international NGOs / neutral observers that confirm that houses are booby trapped to such a scale that it necessitates the flattening of entire residential blocks?

While you say it's trivial to find a house with no damage, that was not my point. My point was from viewing the drone footage - that's view covers entire suburbs - there is not one single intact building in all 3 separate videos.

But since you mentioned "recently satellite imagery", lets look at the actual data provided by experts who analyse it.

The United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT), released its Comprehensive Damage Assessment in late October 2025. So it's 3 weeks old. Completely fresh and up to date.

* It uses high-res imagery from as recent as 11 October 2025

* It tracks damage over time rather than just a before/after assessment

https://www.un.org/unispal/document/unosat-gaza-strip-damage...

Quoting the summary:

According to satellite imagery analysis, as of 11 October 2025, approximately 81% of all structures in the Gaza Strip are damaged. Among the damaged structures, UNOSAT identified 123,464 destroyed structures, 17,116 severely damaged structures, 33,857 moderately damaged structures, and 23,836 possibly damaged structures for a total of 198,273 affected structures. Compared to the 8 July 2025 assessment, this corresponds to a 4% increase in total affected structures, and an 18% increase in destroyed structures, indicating worsening damage. An estimated 320,622 housing units have been damaged, 12% more than on 08 July 2025.

Their satellite analysis shows:

* 23,464 destroyed structures

* 17,116 severely damaged structures

* 33,857 moderately damaged structures

* 23,836 possibly damaged structures

* A total of 198,273 affected structures

It also shows the destruction of housing / infrastructure has been both systematic and continual over the past two years.

Having 81% of all structures damaged (and 320k housing units) puts extreme doubt to the claim that it is "just making it safe from booby traps".

Almost no one supports their atrocities on October 7.

People however, can understand why a resistance movement in those circumstances might fight back after the history of occupation and rights abuses that has affected the area.

To make that claim of "support" is simply dismissive and minimising a long, complicated history into a few second sound bite.

For absolute clarity: I do not support harm to innocent civilians of any country.

The ACCC is actually quite switched on to any misleading conduct.

They have gone after Airbnb / Airlines / Hotel Booking / Concert Tickets - for misleading conduct.

Especially business that use drip pricing (adding compulsory hidden fees later) or misleading prices like in the Microsoft case.

Anything sneaky - they're normally right on to it.

where the CCP has the power to Build Stuff, at scale.

Not just that, they can mandate large changes.

If you try to do that in a western country, you'll have fossil fuel lobbyists, car manufacturers and a whole range of other vested interests putting pressure on the country's government not to make that change.

The DEA put Adderall on its list of the most abused medication, and limits production of it and investigates doctors who prescribe too much of it.

The other thing on top of limiting its production, it's not just for the US, it's worldwide.

Australia has a shortage of various types of ADHD medication due to this DEA production limit too.

https://www.tga.gov.au/safety/shortages/information-about-ma...

Also, the Australian Government requested increased production to cover these shortages, and the DEA rejected that request.

So those limitations have a worldwide effect due to the US being one of only a few countries that produce these drugs.
