I subscribe to and have notifications enabled for about 13 channels that upload every single day; I only get notified like once a month about a random video whenever YouTube decides it wants to actually do the thing I have told it to do.

This has not been my experience. I subscribe with bell for almost every channel I follow. If anything I almost get too many notifications, but at least I get to decide whether each notification/video is worth watching or dismissing. The new video notifications aren't always immediate, but I almost never see a video on my subscription feed that I haven't already been notified about.

I'd like to get started as soon as possible, but a lot of places seem to like to wait until the last possible second to send me my information.

I think we're finally at the point where I should have everything I need, so I guess I should get started.

Fred, is that you?

Understand that this is not a rebuttal. You are using the paradox of intolerance to try to justify your position.

Yes, as someone pointed out, the purity tests and echo chambers can be a problem, but when you're up against a world-wide rise in fascism, saying "we absolutely must fix this problem first" is too close to saying "I'm ok with some fascism, as long as my feelings aren't hurt."

The stick guards seem like they prevent left/right movement, but do they prevent up/down movements? Is it sufficient to only stop some motion, or is it just better than nothing?

So this is just a ad for a company, right?

Ok. I bought the bundle, but I haven't heard of any of the games. Are there any that are a "must play", or do I just add them to the backlog?

Edit: I briefly tried a couple of the in-browser games. What I found was that my French is terrible, and the games need better instructions. I couldn't do anything in Save the Rioters. Flesh Psychosis is confusing, but might actually be a simple/solid game if I could figure out what I was doing. Macron Dissolution seems to be some sort of political parody quiz game, and I managed to do better than I had any right to do.

Also, “lasts”.

You start to realize that there are things approaching that are the last time you’ll see or do something. The last time you visit where you grew up. Last time your kid lived at home. Last car you’ll ever own.

Yeah, the lasts suck.

I remember being in college, and this Onion article gave me a little bit of an existential crisis.

This isn't so much "hacked" as someone walked through the door they left wide open. They just hid it behind a bush.
