YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete
  • What's hilarious about this article is that I'm actually getting YouTube premium for free as some kind of bonus to my phone service yet I'm still using ad blockers on it and everything else. I really don't give a shit. If they want to get better at injecting ads I'm going to place my bets on ad blockers getting better at blocking them. Or just not using YouTube. Cause, quite frankly, most of my favorite creators are on Nebula anyway and I pay for that service.

  • YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete
  • All of these issues have reportedly led to an increase in ad block uninstalls, leaving users with the choice of YouTube Premium or sitting still until that "skip ad" button appears.

    Oh yes, I totally believe that people are opting to delete their ad blocker, that works on not just YouTube but the entire internet, simply because YouTube has become obstinate and difficult. Who the fuck wrote this article? And how much are they getting paid by Google? Do they really think we're going to buy into this bullshit and follow suit?

  • It has now been 15 years since the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25
  • That's defeatist thinking. The fact of the matter is that the Democratic party needs to get much better at their messaging. Right now far too many people think that higher minimum wage would completely disrupt business across the board. And that's because the Republicans have been propagandizing that idea for the last three decades. We need to counter that argument and we have facts on our side but they need to be couched in something other than a finger wagging liberal politician on television or at a podium.

  • It has now been 15 years since the federal minimum wage rose to $7.25
  • The minimum wage was supposed to be the absolute minimum a person could be paid in order to live. It's not an excuse to pay employees starvation wages. No one, and I mean absolutely no one, can survive being paid $11 an hour in today's economy (much less the $7.25 it is now). That is why nearly every liberal state has independently moved their minimum to at least $15/hr if not more.

  • FULL SPEECH: President Joe Biden gives address after dropping out of 2024 election
  • For those with the intelligence to understand how politics works, Joe just set up all of the ducks for Kamala to shoot during her campaign while not mentioning her enough to give the POS GOP any ammo to fire at her by using his speech in sound bites.

  • FULL SPEECH: President Joe Biden gives address after dropping out of 2024 election
  • As a swan song after the election, Biden should issue and executive order arresting all of the conservative judges on the Supreme Court and jail them using the powers they have granted the executive branch. Literally show them the error of their ways. Then (maybe) issue another executive order releasing them. After 30 days or so of allowing them to mull over their decision.

  • Anon hates fast food
  • Indeed, the line should read "the only thing I need on my meat."

    Cause in addition to objectifying the person just doing their job and not realizing that they are being low key stalked by a loser with no respect for them by calling them a "thing", OP needs to use the right descriptor to refer to his penis and a flat cooked patty just doesn't fit the bill.

  • Bacon tho
  • Wait, you don't want to come to my mosquito farm and pet the skeeters???

    You can even play with the baby skeeters in the huge brackish water pond in the back! It's completely free of predators!

  • Harris Opens Fire On Trump: ‘Predator, Fraudster, Cheater’
  • Yeah this is another example of how fucking stupid she was during that campaign. She attacked his supporters instead of him directly. The person who should have been the brunt of every single attack she could muster should have been Trump and only Trump. Instead she riled up his base and convinced a bunch of independents that she was an asshole, which she actually is but she kept unleashing her assholiness on the wrong people.

    I remember watching one of the more freeform debates with her and Trump and I kept waiting for her to wreck his ass and she kept acting like some kind of stupid nicey nice person (that she most definitely isn't). I was like, "What the fuck? Where's the dragon lady I bought tickets to see eat Trump for lunch???"

    And then as if that wasn't all stupid as fuck, after the campaign failed and Trump got elected as president, she fucking goes out and starts blaming all the fucking left wing voters and Berniecrats for "not voting enough" even though it was her dumbass fault she lost the election. I'm a fucking Bernie voter and I pointlessly cast a ballot for her dumb ass.

    So yeah fuck Hillary eternally. I hope she spits in her fucking corn flakes when Kamala wins and becomes the first woman president.

  • Bacon tho
  • Well, let's unpack this thought then.

    Pigs (you know, the animal that bacon actually comes from) mostly live off of human waste (aka garbage). They are the origin of the H1N1 virus (also known as the flu) and when not contained they are considered absolute pests.

    How are they different than mosquitos again?

  • Harry Potter and the Nuclear launch codes
  • Yeah, though it's not the best of movies, Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice did a really good job of treating that barrier between science and magic with a degree of reason and accountability. And in my own head canon those ideas are part of the Harry Potter universe and it's magic.
