Some things about You Tube are weird

If I just go straight to youtube.com , I get suggested videos. Today I notice there's one on how to win at slots. I click on the guy's channel instead and see that he hasn't posted a thing in 4 years and the video is 6 years old. It's the only video on gambling, and is an incredibly boring rundown on how they work. As for how to win, he immediately says to win you just get lucky. Honest but not very clever.

Doesn't it seem like the algorithm they use would be a little more sophisticated? Like maybe favoring newer videos from channels that get more views? I guess I don't really care but the status quo seems odd to me. I guess it truly shows you don't have to pay to have your videos suggested.

While stealing bananas makes sense, I wonder what monkey's do with hats and purses.

A recent encounter. Man tries to scare off grisly bear with cubs from his property with a shotgun. Ends up shooting bear point blank and still has to run for his life.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Shotgun to the face at 7' and just wipes it off. That's why I got a wad of cash heading to Smith and Wesson for a .460. That s#$%'s horrifying.

He only had birdshot in his shotgun, it was never going to do anything but piss off the bear. I have done jobs in the Bella Coola valley for years and it has lots of bears. A major salmon river and when the salmon are running the grizzlies and fisherman share the river sometimes within a 100' of each other.

I know someone in the comments said he should have had slugs, but I don't know, you got to hit the bear, as your hands don't shake at a charging bear.

Better option to go back inside early.

If by "better" you mean "only", then I agree.

That doesn't sound like the Face usually portrayed on the forum. Turning down a chance to share a fishing hole with a grizzly. I thought you were always up for any adventure -;)
