Nah I did that on purpose.

I wish I could say this instead of having to schedule my vacation time a month in advance.

Damn, I used to watch GB growing up and he was one of my favorites. Loved how even when he was getting his ass kicked on the field you could still see the guy smiling as he lined up for another play.

Fuck man why did you have to do this?

Tbf it’s rare to see normal people posting on social media in 2024, at least everyone I see is fucked up in some way.

This might be a bold assumption on my part but I would say most normal people do not have the energy for the craziness that occurs on a lot of socials now.

You want to engage and be a part of the community but it’s just far too exhausting in many cases. Easier to just browse most of the time.

I really don’t think that this was necessary.

From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke,

Ah so that’s the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.

The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.

And yes, out of context I thought it was a bit extreme. I don’t necessarily agree with what the first person in the image said although that’s a complex topic that deserves a much lengthier discussion, but just randomly having someone tell them that they’re a creep who deserves to be tased is fairly extreme without any additional context. Keep in mind, I have no idea who the individual is or what they’ve done.

YouTube: Has ads and sells your data like every other online service

Also YouTube: Doesn’t pay creators much to the point where creators often have in-video advertisements but expects audiences on the platform to pay for an adless experience

Thank you. This really is just asking to pour gasoline on the fire.

I don’t think this is something that will benefit us in the long term, regardless of how funny it is right now.

The problem isn’t necessarily multiplayer games as much as many multiplayer games refuse to release with functions to help you group/party find and actually meet people in-game. They don’t have to because discord exists.

So you go to play a new game and turns out you’re just playing with the same people you always play games with because despite being multiplayer there’s no reason to interact with strangers in-game.

Literally. If bro isn’t careful those transformers might cook them

I hate how true this is.

What’s worse is that many of the people who didn’t fall into that trap have been waiting to responsibly have children later, which I also don’t want. Finding anyone down here that is interested in being child free down here is a challenge and finding someone who doesn’t expect to have a busy life to make up for it is even more difficult.

Probably a free dating app too. Just another reminder, you are the product.

Guessing this person made some sort of mistake.

A lot of people on Fetlife for example know to vet their partners thoroughly so they don’t end up with a serial killer and to be careful with the information trail they leave on there.

Even if you look past the cruelties committed, it’s still disappointing.

I’ve read a variety of books on various wars and those that we were involved in were mostly disappointing in regards to tactical decisions. Everything after the revolution either feels like a fluke or just simply feels as if we brute forced our way through with resources until the post WWII era where various campaigns failed due to guerilla warfare. I’m oversimplifying but especially early on in its life the country’s militia was a bit unimpressive.

Yeah, I just snip the tips on the front ones usually. I’ve been doing it since he was little and while he doesn’t appreciate it he has never fought or clawed me in the process of it.

I like ironing my clothes though and if you show up to a formal family event with a shirt that looks like you rolled around in it, then I will offer to iron for you before the next time.

You mean hope that they too don’t become subject to enshittification? I don’t have a lot of faith in that.

Besides that, Google is controlling as fuck. They might keep fucking themselves over but there’s no way they won’t start attempting to ruin things for the rest of us.

As am I. I’m a bit curious as to which viewpoint they’re discussing.

I don’t think it’s bad for people to be somewhat suspicious of bots/misinformation campaigns that occur online. We do know they occur.

That said, I believe we should still try to communicate on the various media platforms in the event that there is in fact a human behind the screen.

How long have you been using it?

I’ve been using it for years. About six months ago or somewhere around that, YouTube started a small campaign against adblockers though. In that campaign, they actually forced Vanced to rebrand to Revanced due to a lawsuit. It was in this time that through the campaign more people became aware of adblockers.

This actually sucked for users like me. The amount of times I’d have to repatch Revanced due to the constant updates was awful. It’s more stable now, but if this ever happens again it will be annoying.

If people bring attention back to adblockers, then it will be like this again. Sites will be threatening legal action and restructuring themselves to break adblockers, while adblockers will have to constantly update in order to stay functional.

We should be more grateful for these people. Our adblockers function because they don’t bother using them.

The moment that most of society starts using adblockers is the moment they become defunct when the big corporations begin actively fighting them. I’ve already witnessed this with YouTube Vanced/Revanced.
