jasignhagj Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Youtube has absolutely ruined the suggested videos formula. It used to be that I'd get things that were relevant to my interests and that I'd actually watch, but now all I get are those crappy "Epic Fail Vids". Even the videos that appear tiled at the end of a video aren't relevant to the original video anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesset Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 @Muggi: Touché. I guess I counted that as something separate from punctuation, or maybe as it's own, or something. @Spork: Mine was especially bad right after the new interface update (with the guide and whatnot), because it literally only showed videos I had already watched, primarily from people I was already subscribed to, rather than people related to who I was subbed to. However, at some point I think they updated the algorithm to give a wider video suggestion, similiar to how it used to be. At least on the related videos, not so much on the homepage. I suspect you might have to go out of your way to watch new videos for a while, and that might help, but I make no promises. My skin is finally getting softI'll scrub until the damn thing comes off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Mine is still made up entirely of videos I have watched from people I have subscribed too, including the subscriptions page itself (the first 4-6 will be the most recent ones, and after that can be months old). Fortunately, I was never big on suggested videos in the first place, so it hasn't really done anything to bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTanT Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 But if you trail of at the end of your sentence then it's either 2 punctuation marks (ellipses + period) or four....

Star. Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I thought you omit the full stop when you use the ellipses. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The period goes before the ellipsis, oddly enough. Example: I wonder what will happen when I do this.… Notice that the ellipsis is one character as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTanT Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Wait, so three periods is not technically an ellipsis? Everything I knew was a lie.

champion Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 No, three periods are still an ellipsis, computers also just have a single character to use too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlanders Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Taxi drivers. >.> Half the time I can't understand a thing they're saying, and they don't understand what I say either. You have to practically mime the address. Sometimes you end up with the talkative type that spends the whole journey talking about random crap nobody cares about. Do you seriously think I care about the grades your son got at school? Christ. I'm trying my hardest to kill the conversation, but they just won't let it die. Sometimes, and this is probably the worse, you end up with the "can't find crap without the GPS" type. I've had taxi drivers literally turn around in circles because the GPS told them so. And of course, when I tell them they're doing it wrong they don't understand a word I'm saying. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assume Nothing Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I hate to sound too intrusive right now, but do you live somewhere with a lot of migrant workers? I could only think of that being a possible cause, or that you have a pretty harsh accent. I suffer the same problem half the time (in a different scenario) too - it's difficult to make out what British Telecoms operators are trying to say on the phone regardless of who you get.

highlanders Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Nope I've got no accent. They don't understand because pretty much all of them are immigrants and they've yet to learn the language, and probably never really will. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Everyone has an accent lol, yourself included. How about telling them you don't feel like talking if you don't want to talk? Personally I like talking to taxi drivers....many of them (the immigrants) usually have very interesting stories if you give them a chance.

nine naked men Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Well I disagree but I'm sure you could find somewhere that sells buckets of that bland white goop.

Without one, the other is pretty much worthless.And half the fun of eating Oreos is trying to split them without making a mess. I usually just eat them whole. It seems too annoying to do the splitting process since the cream is getting devoured anyway. Damn, now I am craving some Oreos.

Kaida23 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I am so [bleep]ing sick of winter. After working and driving around all day in this shit, I had to spend over an hour shoveling the driveway before I could even get my truck in and off the street.

highlanders Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I hope you're being sarcastic. :P But if you really don't know, I guess I'll spell it out for you. If you have the accent native to your region, because you speak like everybody else, it appears as though you have no accent. Saying "I have no accent" is like saying "I have the normal speech for a person of this region". 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
