This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

He asked: "Oh, was she the only son or something before *waves hand*?" and I was like, warily, no she has two brothers. And he responded with a great deal of confusion: "Then what's their problem?!?!"

When he found and married my mom, he was nearly 45 and they had so much trouble conceiving that he went to a Guanyin temple supposedly "magical" for praying for children. When I was born (not a son, also an only child until now), my mom said, "when you prayed at the temple did you ask for a son?" He said, "Aiya, everyone is asking for sons, so I said any gender is okay. If I asked for a son, maybe we wouldn't have gotten a child because Guanyin's son quota is already used up. Do you want that to happen?" My mom laughed for days about "son quota" and continues to tell people about it today, but her honest answer was: "Any child is okay."

Jokes on them. They didn't specify a gender, so Guanyin Ma gave them a non-binary child!

More seriously: my dad doesn't care about sons. When I told my parents that I wouldn't marry or have children, I thought he might be disappointed, but he wasn't. Then again, maybe I should have expected that, given he tried to become a monk at 18 🤪 I think he said the thing about sons to poke fun at people who care too much about sons because he frankly thinks it's all a bit ridiculous. In his eyes, a child is a child, so what's the point in caring about gender? If the child "changes" gender, does it make a difference?

Reason #13668893+316i why we are in this mess.

Democrats passed the affordable care act, passed the infrastructure bill, got rid of junk fees, lowered prescription costs, gave civil rights, protections, forgave student loans, etc.

Everything the republicans are doing is undoing the work of democrats. Yall would rather sit there on your flat asses and make these weakass centrist takes than actually have the courage to face what is happening with clarity.

The Supreme Court has had a conservative majority since Nixon was in office. In the last 60 years, Republicans have filled 15 SCOTUS seats; Democrats have filled 5.

The only time in recent history that Democrats controlled TWO of the branches of government — both chambers of Congress and the presidency — they passed the ACA.

Millions of people are alive because of it. No one seems to want to remember or acknowledge that people used to be denied insurance because they needed medical care.

Like cutting the child poverty rate by 30%

How it worked was kind of complicated and convoluted, but briefly lifted a huge number of kids out of poverty. One of our congresspeople here had been fighting for a version of this for 20+ years and very briefly got it.

but to get it passed AT ALL, it had a sunset clause in there. And it went away.

But it happened.

Justice40 reprioritized a huge number of grants from existing programs to now go to historically underserved communities that had suffered from underfunding and redlining. (40% was supposed to go to those) But it's loads of small projects in EXISTING programs so you never saw that. But that guidance on priorities was in the first month of Biden's administation.

Last year, provision kicked in where employers could now treat your student loan payments as if you'd made a contribution to a 401K retirement plan... and match your payments. again, complicated math, a little hard to explain, but a functional pay boost to a LOT of people because they otherwise would have gotten zero dollars there. they can't touch those dollars til years from now, but that may keep them out of poverty later in life. And that's just an adminstrative shift.

People in red states didn’t feel the best effects of PPACA because John Roberts killed those provisions.

But it was all the Democrats’ fault for not writing a law so perfect that even the conservative justices who make shit up to fit their ideology wouldn’t have been able to change it. 🙄

By the way, if by some miracle we get another liberal president and full control of both houses of Congress including a filibuster-proof majority and they pass a Medicare4All bill …
