One thing I will never understand or accept: Reaction videos. How is there demand for watching randos watch something

Oh another thing- I was just searching YouTube for a song, and a bunch of the results were dumb reaction videos of

It's a sign of the devolution of society.

IdahoCoug

9:47am

Especially a reaction to a trailer...

The Dark Knight

9:49am

Two reasons: 1) it plays into the algorithm. It sees it as a video that is a high probability "of interest" to a topic

Bert609

But on the flip side, "Reactions done right" is awesome. I wouldn't know about Rick Beato if he didn't break down

That would be impressive to do against the defending champions.

Somehow the NFL draft is now more important than any Olympic sport event.

chilawcoug

9:49am

Last year we probably ate out, on average, 2-3 times a week

justAnotherCoug

9:54am

Thanks. Sorry on the snacks point. I didn’t mean divvying up grocery bill.

chilawcoug

9:57am

Anything we ate out including going for ice cream, or movie popcorn is in dining

One could argue as well the the eat out is likely less healthy than a home...

FrankenCoug
