I used to pay less than the single plan for a family plan, split between 5 people. Back when ad-free YouTube was an afterthought and my primary reason for using it was Google Play Music’s unlimited music storage and streaming.
The amount they just increased the cost of YouTube is about how much I’d be willing to pay total for no ads. Until then, they’re competing against zero ads (but no casting) for free.
Got it, so one may only discuss serious topics man(kind) to man(kind).
It still makes perfect sense, imo. I wouldn’t even call it incorrect on a technical level. The contrast between “man” as singular and “mankind” as collective should provide all of the context needed.
If I describe a scene of a story as “man goes to work,” no one assumes I’m talking about the collective of humanity.
Now Ricky wasn’t the only shit-head at that table
That might be putting it mildly
books cannot contain unskippable ads
Ready Player One might disagree
Yeah I haven’t been happy since the 90’s either.
Right, but we look at examples like Chromium and we can see where there is still so much potential for things to go sideways. GabeN and his yacht could sink to the bottom of the sea and his estate sells control of Valve to someone less benevolent.
A commercial entity that has enough control over a project pushes the direction of that project in their favor. And sure you can fork a FOSS project at any time, but once the commercialized version has enough saturation, user inertia and lack of experienced developers to take that initiative often prevents alternatives from achieving success.
Just wish it was coming from a non-commercial entity. Puts a sour note on the status of Linux gaming that a for-profit entity is the only one out there making meaningful progress.
The voters ultimately caused this current situation, so I absolutely blame them. We are seeing the result of the uncontested will of the American people.
It’ll dry out the beef something bad, though.
We talking in terms of percentage used or number of varieties?
Pastafarianism probably has the highest ratio of silly hat wearers per adherent, but only a few varieties to my knowledge (colanders and pirate hats/bandanas).
And growing…

Wow, that is fascinating! As a 37 year old web surfer, I personally would never browse Reddit without using the latest version of Google Chrome™ as my browser of choice. No other browser comes close.

This. As much as Trump keeps going on about “regime change” in Iran as necessary, I don’t know why Iran doesn’t just pull an Uno Reverse card and declare that they won’t make a deal until there is regime change in the US. The current US regime has demonstrated that they will not honor any agreements, so why bother making one?
I guess it depends on what OP means, though. Different substances can still yield identical or comparable physiological outcomes to cause physical/chemical addiction (as in, you experience withdrawal when not using).
Note that US is a different country
Is it, though?
They couldn’t even pass a measure to pause hostilities against Iran, there’s no way they will have the 2/3 senate vote needed to remove him from office. I doubt it even has the 50% house vote to advance the impeachment process to that stage.
The majority of American politicians in office approve of Trump and what he’s doing. Maybe after some seats shuffle in the midterms, which is already overly optimistic, there might be margins just slim enough to convince a handful of senators to cross the aisle and vote Trump out of office. But even then, I wouldn’t hold out much hope of that happening. MAGA voters remain committed to the cult, and Republican incumbents want to keep those votes to stay in office.
I don’t think the mere avoidance of military service inherently makes someone a good person, though. It’s not as though we uphold Donald Trump’s draft avoidance as a virtue, for example.
I try to be a good person where I can. However, the mere circumstances of my life and the social system I grew up in, and which I remain complicit in, will certainly disqualify me from being considered a good person under someone else’s standards. I regret that, but I also accept it.
I’m just trying to eke out a sufficiently stable life for myself in the remaining time I have on Earth, during a moment in time where that is becoming less and less viable or ethical to do.
Yep, never forget the way ICE/DHS tried to spin the narratives around Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
What, so I can be underpaid to do the most stressful and undersupported job ever, with the chance that the next political controversy may force me to go weeks or months without pay, and then feel the guilt of killing several hundred people if I screw up?
