Ah fuck I'm slacking
I posted a picture a whole ago on here of a police robot dog with a giant alien neck breaking a lock.
We need to learn how to fight them before it's too late. That or develop some good exo skeletons that don't have minds of their own and solely human operated or something

One day it won't be this docile robot dog it will be a cybernetic Hellbot that you can't fight back against and can't shoot either
That day is already here.
if memory serves, the Chinese government used robot dogs with mounted machine guns to keep people in their homes during the scamdemic.
Just search "police robot" on YouTube. Prepare to be coldly terrified.

@MentORPHEUS sound like a case of someone that would do with an alternative yt player, many of them. Although even watching a yt film on a mobile browser should be in the browser's history as long as it was not embedded on some other website

Weird form of censorship and discourse-steering that I've seen happen too many times to dismiss as coincidence.
I like to listen to podcasts while I work, and set them to 1.5-1.75X speed. What keeps happening is, Youtube's mobile browser site (I don't use the app) interprets clicks on the control panel as a "back" button for the entire video. This dumps you back onto the homepage, where the back button takes you to the prior video you watched, and takes the video in question out of your feed, not even to be found in the "continue watching" panel if these are presented during scrolling. You must manually crawl your way back to the video by typing the exact URL text into the browser, or drilling down by going to the channel and menu-ing your way to either the videos or live section because it doesn't show in your feed of that channel's contents either. Tapping the edges of the screen to skip ahead or back, WELL away from the margins of other control icons on the screen, also invokes out of nowhere commands that drop you elsewhere from the video you're trying to watch.
This ONLY ever happens with content that challenges the Party Line. Scores of times i've had it happen, compared to exactly ZERO on mundane general-interest channels and topics!

@MentORPHEUS oh wow, and that dude normally likes all the plant-based imitation meats.
