I can't place all of them:

I miss human DJ's.

To be more specific, I miss the left-of-the-dial 11pm variety.

And Shoutcast-style radio with live DJ's. I still spin up a stream every now and then, but it's not the same as it used to be.

For proposal #4 it decided that the trees needed tiddies.

This came through the HP email ... It is being typed word for word

Even in 1994 on Windows 3.11, this was ridiculous.

the content seemed to be less visible even to his subscribers

Am I the only one who still uses the subscriptions page? I get a chronological list of all my subscribed channel's video releases. I have seen zero indication that I'm missing anything at all, and I fairly frequently go to channel's pages to check that my subscription list is complete.

I've never clicked a single notification bell, and don't rely on the home page's recommendations/sorting, unless I'm actively seeking out new recommendations.

Theoretically it's to help aquifer recharging, but it feels a bit misguided when directed to homeowner gardens, which are far more environmentally beneficial than the amount of roof runoff they would be temporarily diverting.

When I was in high school in the 90's, we had a soda machine that was owned by the school, and had all the different brands - Coke, Pepsi, RC, etc.

One year, they took out the old, independent machines and replaced them with Pepsi machines that were owned by either Pepsi Co or some nameless vendor. They only contained Pepsi brand products - Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.

At first we were annoyed, but eventually... I'm now a Pepsi guy for life. I drastically prefer it to Coke or anything else.

At the time, their ad slogan was "The Choice of a New Generation" - And they ensured that by making contracts favorable to school district's bottom lines in a successful attempt to groom me into being a Pepsi guy.

And it worked. I was groomed, and I still abide by my programming to this day, even while being fully aware of it.

If you think you're immune to corporate programming because you're aware of it and are a skeptic at heart - you aren't.

The mad lady is also pointing with her thumb, which is surprisingly off-putting. And I love how the sleeve melds into the arm, that's fashionable.
