I'd also like to plug ReVanced. You do have to provide your own copy of the YouTube APK (easily downloadable from APKMirror), but it allows you to install multiple patches into the app, including Return YouTube Dislike, SponsorBlock, and other stuff. It allows background play and blocks ads, too. (You can see the list of available patches here.)

First of all, ew.

Second of all, RIP your phone's battery if you're forced to keep Bluetooth on.

Weird. I can just go to the mobile Best Buy site, pull up my order from my account, and get the barcode they need to scan from there. No need for the app.

I can do the same with the desktop site.

Users who already have accounts on Bluesky get access codes they can give out to others over time. You don't even need to open the app to earn access codes. You just need an account.

Basically, as the devs let more and more people in, the platform will experience exponential growth. If the devs let in one person, that one person can let in 5 more in just 2 months time, and those 5 can let in 5 more each, and so on.

The day itself is more just to remind people to register to vote. Registering to vote can be done any day of the year, though there is a deadline if you plan to vote in a certain election. You don't need to register more than once in a particular state, though you do need to update your registration if you move to a new address.

The deadline for registration varies by state. For my state, it's 22 days before an election. But, at least in my state (this isn't the case in every state, but it's getting there), even if you don't register by the deadline, you can still fill out a voter registration form and vote using a provisional ballot (meaning it will be counted later that week after your voter registration has processed) on election day.

Basically, National Voter Registration Day is used to avoid a lot of headaches for everyone involved.

I'm assuming you mean presidential election. But there are some state and local elections coming up this year. In fact, today is National Voter Registration Day in the US. (There's a specific day to remind people to register to vote or update their registration as needed.)

It's fine, happens to the best of us.

(You might've mistaken me for the other guy. I'm agreeing with you.)

Even something as simple as the "This is fine" meme could be considered "not funny" in the same way this meme is "not funny" depending on how it's used.

I watch someone on YouTube who deals with stress. They said they were... I think relieved (can't recall exactly what word they used) because, for once, their stress and the actions resulting from it were now normal.

I don't get my news from memes.

I get them from comments on the memes.
