My red flag would be showing them NewPipe, with recommendations turned completely off.

Guilty.
Having no actual presence on social media is considered "creepy" by modern social standards, instead of what I view it as: more secure.
Having no actual presence on social media
I've got some bad news for you...
I meant no actual presence on mainstream social media where I'm not using a pseudonym, and exchange profiles with the general public that I meet.
Forums are not social media. How is this hard to understand. Forums have existed for decades longer than social media and if you include forums in the definition of social media then you literally by definition include every comment section on every blog, news site, and even things like the FCC request for comments from citizens.
It’s absolutely idiotic to include forums in that definition. You make the definition so wide as to be useless.
If that's considered creepy then I'm john wayne gacy
I find avoiding social media helps reduce encounters with the insane side of people who somehow appear to be relatively normal in real life.
For instance, I actually like my inlaws in real life, despite having some very different views than they do. On Facebook however, they're complete fucking idiots that I wouldn't give the time of day because they would just argue with me about it.
They ask for your search history then
Someone asking to see my YouTube recommendations is a good test for red flags, too. I’m not interested in a relationship with someone who will judge me based on an algorithm.
A party is indeed the time and place where no jokes are made ever, no alcohol is involved, no cheesy flirting techniques occur, and everything is meant a 100% seriously always.
Good point. I would have had to be there to see what the mood was like. She could have been funny as hell, and I’m just not picking it up from this tweet.
Edit: I just watched the video. It’s only about 8 minutes long. A great combination of funny and interesting. Recommended!
The algorithm sucks anyway. I have to clear my cookies every couple days because all my recommendations starts to turn into weird manosphere stuff and DBZ videos. Sprinkled with a small amount of shit from channels I have watched recently.
Not even the wackiest scenario he's done.
Bro legit took this one incredibly seriously and talked about the consequences of having to explain sudden freak accident deaths to pre-schoolers and how conspiracy theories would proliferate about Reagan being responsible because supposedly he had pushed for the launch to stay on schedule even when issues came up because the plan was for him to make s phone call to the crew of the ship from the SotU address that year.
Basically Reagan would go down in pop culture canon as being the man who murdered big bird, and whatever consequences that sprung from that would be the biggest shift vs present timeline instead of the obvious fact that big bird would be canonically dead since all the normal viewers would have seen him go up in a fireball and die.
Nah he's a bird,he could fly on outta there. A little singed, maybe, if he dawdled
Allegedly, he screamed "wildcard, bitches" before kicking the door and jumping out.
perhaps it would serve humanity greatly if I do not reproduce
I'm so happy to be out of the dating phase of my life. I wouldn't stand a chance with my tinfoil hat settings like deactivated recommendations, ad- and js-blocking and auto-deleting all cookies when closing a tab.
What do you mean women don't like a FOSS privacy-oriented user experience? Don't they like going through 500 pages of documentation when Gentoo breaks only to realize all along that the problem was fixed by turning the computer off and on again?
What do you mean men don't like that either?? What kind of place is this?!
auto-deleting all cookies when closing a tab.
You know, I would never use auto-delete cookies because I want to stay logged into sites. However I do wish there was an extension or something that would delete all cookies except for manually whitelisted sites. Then random news websites wouldn't be able to easily track all my visits, but I could stay logged into sites.
mine is half science and half whatever video game im trying to play so currently elden ring
"I only watch youtube through libretube, invidious and freetube"
Probably its own kind of red flag.
I'm glad I'm old enough where I can actively pretend like I don't know how to use technology.
Like I was at a bar, and some weirdo asked if I was on Facebook and I shrugged and said I don't understand technology and they go, "Totally makes sense at your age!"
It's called finding a shared interest!
If this video doesn’t exist, I’m going to be very disappointed.
I'm not logged in because I don't want any suggestions! I'm using ReVanced of course.
I actually have YouTube history turned off and rarely if ever watch something that I'm not subscribed to, namely, a maths nerd, two tech channels, some musical people and the guy who makes sausages.
You're correct. Judging people based on an algorithm your have no way of knowing is indeed a red flag ma'am.
Next time I talk to a girl at a party, I'm gonna ask to see her browser history "because it's a good test for red flags." Judging someone by what they watch or read is stupid. Judging someone by what YT thinks they would like to watch is even worse. I know this is completely besides the point, and it is just a meme, but judgy behavior like that irks me.
I think the question is rather forward for a girl you just met at a party, but at the same time I think someone's youtube recommendations would be a good indicator of some obvious red flags that someone may want to consciously hide from a prospective partner. For example, if someone's feed is full of alt right/joe rogan/incel crap, or for women, full of FDS crap, you're damn right I'm gonna judge.
My red flag would be telling her “fuck off creepy stranger”
It's not. I spend too much time vetting and blocking right wing channels despite never watching any while logged in.
I would never be in this situation in the first place.

Pseudo-Spirituality is a good thing to look out for
The amount of guys who think the seventh principle of Hermeticism is a reason to be a sexist dick...
Edit: For the record, it's gender. The idea that Gender must be kept in balance.. I've actually seen incels say that they don't get laid because they let too much "Feminine energy" into their lives, and they need to "Man up" and "Reject these new fangled woke ideals"
The Seventh Principle is keeping Gender in balance WITHIN YOURSELF, embracing both your masculine and feminine traits. As an occultist it just pisses me off when I see fucking these pseudo-spiritual dickbags qouting the Seventh Principle to do the OPPOSITE and just double down on being toxic edgelords.
It's almost worse then the white girls who claim to be an expert on life after death because they had glow-in-the-dark star stickers on their ceiling as a kid.
Looks like a green flag to me! Fun vid.
