Recently, YouTube started adding a tracking parameter to their share URLs, when using the "share" button on a video. With this, they can track who is sharing videos with who, and under some circumstances even how they are shared. The tracker starts with the question mark in the link you posted and the link works perfectly fine without that part.

Wtf are you barking at

Just so you and everyone else is aware. In the link you posted, everything after the question mark is a tracking id, using the link without that part of the link works perfectly fine and reduces traceability.

Do companies really drug test office workers? I'm in the US, work in an office and have never been drug tested by any company I've worked for in the last 10 years

This is pretty much how it is in the US. If an employee's drug use is a potential serious liability, most insurance companies require drug testing for them to insure you (generally, I can't imagine companies want to drug test because it is actually quite expensive). Like in the construction industry, a lot of companies drug test because you really shouldn't have someone on drugs operating heavy machinery and you sure as shit won't get insured if you dont. I can't speak to the companies that do it regardless of liability concerns but I work in an engineering position for a large company and no one is drug tested. In fact, no company I have worked for has drug tested.

This shit happens in the parking garage I use too and it amazes me. I drive a small sedan and I refuse to park in those spots bc I'm terrified some idiot will sideswipe me (I have actually seen this happen to other vehicles). I can only imagine it's some sort of flex bc people have to avoid their oversized tiny-penismobile.

This says otherwise

Sure you can, just not by months, you would need to use weeks instead to retain integer values. A half year would be 26 weeks and a quarter year would just be 13 weeks. Of course this fails if you wish to divide further, but at that point you could just say 2 months and people would know for certain you are saying 8 weeks.

Yeah, but that only matters for months. We could instead just use weeks since there are 52 weeks per year, so a quarter would be 13 weeks instead of 3 months. It would be easier to determine how many weeks there are in a span of a couple months because it's not variable, or any number of months because they're just multiples of 4. I know a lot of people would be turned off by the system because the number 13 comes up so often and people are superstitious but it really would make things easier imo.

This is pretty much where I'm at. It's too difficult to fully stop data collection without having to live off the grid, but I sure as shit will block every single ad on my devices. So really they can collect as much data as they want but I won't let them use it to sell me their garbage.

I just did and I have no idea what you're talking about. All I see are my pinned apps and recently used files.

Except I've experienced the exact opposite. The iPhone users are the ones who complain about android users messing up their iMessage chats while simultaneously being too fucking stupid to realize it's Apple who is screwing them.
