I don't like his material after "The Room", it feels way too unauthentic and forced self-parody to me, even if he manages to make it funny bad again (but not really same tone as the movie).

In "The Room" he's definitely being his authentic self trying to make what his idea of "good" movie was, you can read about it in Greg Sestero's (Mark in the movie) and Tom Bissell book "The Disaster Artist" if you doubt with what intention he made the movie. Or even listen to it in audiobok form, Greg does amazing impression of Tommy and sheds lots of background info on their history and how the movie came to be

Depends on the content, I guess. If I browse history and archaeology videos for a while I start to get a ton of quality suggestions from much smaller and more specialised channels. This and music channels uploading vintage and forgotten records and tracks has gotten me some great finds that e.g. music streaming services would never suggest as they're not even in their catalogues sometimes.

That said YT seems to try and soft reset my suggestions once in a while promoting clickbait videos, but a session of using "don't recommend channel" or "i don't like this video" from their options, and digging into my subscribed channels for the usual stuff shifts it back to normal good recommendations again.

Not sure about any pun, but what you see on the last panel next to Jucika is an old weighing machine combined with a height scale (the tall measured part), similar to this vintage one.

So my guess is after dancing with a much shorter, and much taller man, Jucika has set an exact height scale for her next dancing partner. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

It's a way to get from point a to b.

You're the perfect customer to buy a Corolla! πŸ˜„

Sadly all those assist features come standard now even on the lowest trim, but I think you can easily disable them from options, bar the reverse camera. Plus, at least on my 2020 software one, they're not always-on, I think the lane-assist and cruise-control have to be turned on by a button, I use them only on longer trips.

Only the auto-breaking part I'm not sure if it can be disabled, but it doesn't work in lower speeds, so it's as good as not there in less intensive situations.

At first I was gonna write "Why didn't you explain to him why Baptist church is called like that?", but then I remembered cases when people say something so profoundly stupid to me, that I judge they're too far gone to warrant any explanation. If it was someone with a half-working-brain I'd still try in a friendly way to give them some more context and expand their thinking, but there also such people (especially if they are some blowhard personality) that you just put a mental note to stay very far away from them out of caution.

What's funny is, in Europe at least, the orders were not processed by time - a ton of people were complaining that they ordered theirs a couple of minutes early like you, or on time and were among the most delayed.

In my case I managed to process payment a whole hour later (after finally giving up and spamming the Continue button), so I can't really be mad I ultimately bought one. And they finally shipped it, so there is hope for this week πŸ™
