YouTube makes 8 billion per quarter selling ads. I think they will be able to eat tonight.

I keep my old phones instead of throwing them away. They become music players in the house/garage. My pixel 7 pro definitely has garbage speakers compared to a pixel 3, or an old Samsung note (can't remember the Gen). It's a stat I didn't even bother looking at, since we seemed to have hammered it out years ago. It's akin to asking if a new car has electric Windows.

I wish I would have checked.

Yeah, but my waist says weed and waffles.

I'll tell ya the secret sauce. It's so we can easily filter out people like you in public without having to start a conversation. I like what I like, and don't give a shit what others find presentable.

Sincerely,

Some dude with non-standard head hair and facial hair.

To answer your question, no, I had no intention of reading the whole thing. I just wanted to see some of the ridiculous things that make it in there these days.

Also, I completely agree with you.

 

Clicked on a link to read an article, and was met with this pop-up. I decided to click on the privacy policy link to view what I was agreeing to. It cannot be viewed unless you agree to what you haven't read yet.

Don't have TikTok, and despise that short form has taken over YouTube. It should be a separate app/space/whatever.

I still interact with TikTok links family and friends send me, and I fucking despise that. Close the "use the app" overlay, punch in the "I'm not a robot" code, turn on the volume (since when is muted the default video state, outside of porn?), and then loathe the fact that I just missed 60 percent of a glorified gif that I can't rewind, and won't repeat without pushing the app on me.

Nope, I've seen enough of their business practices and intent just from that interaction. It leaves me with no desire to sign up.

I'm 6'5". Figuring out how to see the gauges through the steering wheel.

Someone mentioned antifa at work the other day, and I said, "Antifa? I'm in. Shitting on fascists has been an American pass time for a century or better."

The looks of shock and horror on my coworkers faces was quite the sight to behold.

This is why I chose Mazda. No touch screen at all, just a display for Android auto.

For anyone who needs a reminder, his name is not Ted. We should honor his wishes and stop calling him by his preferred name.

Sure, but at the end of the day, does it really matter? It's like made up numbers that never run out. He's still set for life, no real consequence. He feels this less than someone who misses a car payment one month.
