How much do you think it'd take to sue YouTube? Cause that is a week of my life I'm never getting back.

Why did you not just tell google to reset your algorithm ?

Tried.

It kept going even after I logged out. It was like they were trying to torture me.

No, they're not.

The National Guard and other parts of the armed forces are trained in de-escalation and finishing a job as quickly as possible. And in this case they're leaving the protestors alone and letting march as they wish, and riots aren't starting.

Shocking, it's almost as if the police are the main driving force in the riots or something...

Yeah I'm aware but mostly the Nat Guard in great numbers can be used a psychological weapon against riots

Except that's not why they're there, the Nat Guard is their because they're smarter than the dumbass police who keep needlessly escalating things and causing riots.

It takes about two weeks for new infections to show up in figures.

Coronavirus may actually have gotten worse, but that would be due to whatever happened two weeks ago. Before the demonstrations and riots.

Correct. If the current situation is going to cause an increase, we won't know for another week or two.
It's gotten worse because people decided this was the perfect time to go to beaches, parks, hair salons and wherever else they could all lump together.

Of course. Since the police couldn't control them, and the quarantine officer couldn't persuade them to accept the test.No test, no disease.
(In the past 24 hours, 22997 new confirmed cases have been found. If that's not means worsening.)

If you allow YouTub to track your viewing history, it might help by removing that video from your history.

I disabled history tracking and tend to get videos from my subscriptions and occasional hit-or-miss recommendations.

I'm glad that for the most part, the protests in my state have stayed below 100 participants. I cant imagine what will happen in Minneapolis where like 10,000 people showed up for days on end.

Police violence against journalists at protests across the US

"In total, we have archived 140 incidents involving at least 157 journalists and we will be continuing to track and locate these incidents for as long as they continue to happen, updating our map periodically. To give you perspective on just how enormous this number really is, the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker tracked 150 press freedom violations for the whole of 2019. The incidents in these protests have almost surpassed the 2019 numbers in a week."
