Aloha air? 1988? Yeah man that one lives with me on how safe planes really can be considered.

As long as it doesn’t have an auto pilot feature that makes you nosedive to counter a completely mismanaged weight and design flaw.

Oh no. You wanted to enter another country and they wanted to know who you are in case you do something illegal while there?!?! How very 1984.

This is a country that doesn’t even allow you to sell to used electronics stores without a residency card so that you can’t scam them.

This seems like a really dumb gripe to have that you had to enter immigration in a other country. Complaining because you got detained in Singapore or China cause you complained about the government or handed out some VPNs on a USB (I did the delays were fun) is commendable but this seems like yelling at shadows.

Seconded

Oh I usually block the ads via a pihole and don’t even bother logging in. Tubi is great

Yeah but if they double the price and only lose 1/3 of their customers that is a profit. They are aiming for that equilibrium price and honestly more people are willing to pay to never have their entertainment end than we could ever hope for.

So this has been true of YouTube Red since the beginning. It’s one if the reasons I got it. But they use watch time as the way to divide your money out. It actually makes it extremely unfair split for people that make great but short content. It’s also why longer content became more popular around that time and those 24/7 streams run like that.

Also why creators started doing channels of just padded run time content of like building legos and eating things. It’s to secure better and funding.

The current setup is pretty busted and feels like the wheels are coming off again.

That’s like actually the next line though.

“Amerika, coco-cola, wonderbra”

Its the actual joke that they have all the same products.

That came after the us government pushed the swedish government

🎶 We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar 🎵

Yeah I have paid for YouTube Red since it was YouTube Red.

I’m pretty sure they don’t want want me anymore cause they have made my whole experience worse and trying to get more and more money and attention out of me.

I really should stop paying too but they are literally making it so there is no alternative and I hate paying on patreon but watching on YouTube with ads

Man, Japan and Singapore too.

Lots of heavy cash flow dense countries seem to still be a fan of the paper, honestly.

I have a leather coin bag full of change that I swear I could bludgeon a person to death with because it just so rarely gets used.
It pulls down my pants if I bring it with me anywhere.

I recently had it with me out recently and ended up paying the restaurant bill in exact change because of it and we were all amazed. They say it doesn’t happen really anymore.

I just can’t justify the like 8 bucks of paper money it would make me either.

Yeah I do agree that American cash doesn’t stretch as far. I’m definitely having to hit the ATM or cash back option way more than before for how much things cost. 50s are good for restaurants and the like but 100s are so weirdly distrusted and a pain. But I rarely get back 5s and 10s cause seriously inflation is just so good damn high.

I keep thinking I’m gonna pull out a bunch of cash to have but then… Yeah I am not one to stuff it under my mattress and it being available electronically is so useful… Sigh…

Trying. It’s all we can do until things change for real.

Yup, but those are exactly the places to use cash and it’s amazing what even some of your meals being in cash and it influencing your budget does to your purchase habits.

I agree fully with using a cash back credit card for the big places and purchases and cash when around town locally.

Kinda feels like I’m doing what my grandparents did but hey it kinda works

1,200 movies
200 shows
Smattering of books and a few GBs of music
Oh and every game for every console older than the PS2

Originally across multiple 4tb external drives but been mostly pushed to one nas 8tb drive in my case.

Dude you could have just answered “no, I haven’t seen the prices of used cars lately.”

I meant like 480p with an encoding error that makes it not able to be fast forwarded without crashing.

It that being the only way to watch it without hunting down a VHS kinda thing

LOL it always the hot garbage that I’m shocked I managed to find that I try to seed as long as possible almost as an apology for making someone else have to host it to give it to me.

But I will say sometimes it’s just a bad quality and it’s hard to figure out if it’s worth keeping it around because it’s the only version available or letting it die.

Man I really wonder what the venn diagram of Linux users/furries are. But I’m thinking it might be a circle within a circle kinda thing.

Sure but also general trolls that are just trying to get an emotional rise just piss in wind thinking they aren’t getting bait. It’s that concept of not feeding the trolls.

Also comments are reddits bread and butter so processing a few extra aren’t really impacting them and they are small to begin with. There is also the added bonus of it looks good on metrics for interactions.

I think assuming every troll has a bot army is greatly overestimating them, people are more underwhelming than even they like to admit. And seems like it could help with minor deviants but also I wonder if that would make them act up more and turn to more offensive ways of baiting an audience, but then you ban them.
Sort of like boiling a group down on purpose. A bit awful as you help nurture the problems to be more easy to remove.

Oh God right! The weirdest darkest form of mild censorship.

I can decide if it’s clever or very fucked up.
