How is this series? I only glanced at the spoiler but some of the last bit was...a lot. Do most of the books receive that trigger warning or is that more of a endgame thing?

I haven't seen any bots but maybe I just don't know what they look like. How are the bots posting?

Stuff splashes when you wash dishes. And now you have to remember to turn the faucet off every time you need to use it in the other sink. The guy complaining about wet lines from the edge of the sink being wet is complaining about a very common thing, from splashing. I feel like I'm explaining how to tie shoes at this point...

I'd bet the amount of water on that center section is quite a bit. It's probably always wet tshirt time at that house.

That's like $80k a year. Not that much.

My real question to anyone reading this is, as the devil’s advocate, what could YouTube do with ads or otherwise that would solve the “service problem” of “YouTube piracy”?

Their goals is definitely not to convert everyone. This is just to make using adblockers annoying enough that they can convert a substantial amount of adblock users into Youtube Premium users. They will eventually stop the war and allow the small minority of successful adblockers to continue if they can't find an easy way to eliminate the most popular extensions entirely.

Their end goal is to make YT Premium more of a standard like it is for other streaming services so people consider it the default way to engage with Youtube and not as an extra service.

Perhaps the elven language Tolkien created for LOTR.

We should fix our society so that the uber rich can't exist. Taxation would take care of that huge wealth disparity.

It's a small thing but he also had family connections in Canada which he lent on.

You're right. Sometimes it's a grandfather or a whole generational line of old money.

By hard work, you mean buying yourself exclusive education which gets you contacts to add to your families. Not to mention ready access to startup capital and the graces of people willing to give you more.

Barack Obama in which the Asian man is compared to a yellow bear, and the black man is compared to an African cat named “Tigger”. If you saw people calling Obama “Tigger” (or “a tigger”, so be a bit less subtle about it) as an epithet, I seriously doubt you’d be willing to accept claims of ignorance,

Wait, what? Tigers are not native to Africa. They are an Asian cat.

You do it to identify yourself to other American liberals as a consumer of John Oliver or Stephen Colbert’s TV shows. I think it’s petty and stupid to substitute fandom for politics, but at the end of the day, correcting you on that isn’t terribly important to me

And yet you still do it.

I’m no expert, but by all accounts he seems to be a pretty boring guy that says pretty normal generic shit about development, stability, and cooperation.

He can be the nicest dude ever but he leads a control with an iron-grip on speech and media consumption, which is anathema to most english-speaking countries. Also you know, the genocide.

constructed through your consumption of English language capitalist media.

Aaaaand there we go. Tankie talking points.

toward the end of justifying a nuclear war

Scare tactics! If you knew the first thing of geopolitics, you'd know this would never, ever happen. If russia isn't going to lob nukes when it's getting its ass handed to it, China won't have a reason to.

This whole little diatribe is full of inaccuracies, huge ass-pulls and insinuations that are so wild as to be ridiculous. And as soon as you actually get a little specific, you throw your entire argument away.
