I loved the labels. Testtomcels.

I was playing with some kids I was babysitting in McDonald's play tubes when I was 18. I bent my ankle weird. I'm turning 30 in a couple months and there's literally not a single day without ankle pain. Sometimes it's disabling. Several times they haven't actually found anything wrong with it but last time they said it had something (can't remember) and it made a lot of bad clicking sounds when the podiatrist handled it. I've tried lots of things to help.

Oh yeah, I forgot it even had ads because we have a pi hole.

I use the free version and it's fine and free?

I keep hearing this and I wonder about how they do this. I mean how to they keep records of every shoplifter? Do the employees recognize the people every time they come in? How many shoplifters can they keep track of? Are they like "ah yeah it's shoplifter 687, put this video in his file"? Do they bother with people stealing an occasional item like basic clothing or food? Are they watching a single shoplifter over years, like what if they only steal once in a while and it's low value? I'm curious about this, I've never actually heard from anyone who was watched over a period of time and then prosecuted.

What? Why? I can't walk anywhere in my city and I certainly love the self checkout.

I asked my child, an expert in this field, and he gives it a one trillion out of ten.

Is Plex not it anymore? I'm not really privy to details but my wife runs a Plex server that we can access from anywhere. It's free and we each have our own profiles. Even my parents have a profile.

I'm not saying it's exactly the same, but I've heard of American kindergarten teachers being told to take down the color learning rainbow decor which were NOT pride flags because bigoted parents threw a huge fit about the gay decorations. I've seen unironic videos of people claiming any decor featuring a rainbow in a classroom is LGBTQ indoctrination. And they were pointing at cartoon depictions of the sky, like with smiling clouds and suns.

I suppose it would be cheap and effective to use the bird's superior wing?

It's good to keep in mind, but I mean do you sit there through 1-3 minute ads not skipping forward? I don't watch much television, I mostly watch YouTube. So I watch a lot of it. What good is watching an ad going to do if I'm never going to buy anything from them? Once or twice, I've needed or wanted a product or service I thought might be promoted on YouTube, I went and looked for a creator to get a link/code from. But I think I did that two times in the past 9 years of being an avid YouTube watcher, and those times I was not buying the product due to ads, just thought I'd support a creator since I was going to make a purchase. I don't have sponsor block (I use NewPipe and I don't feel like learning a new app), but I just skip all the ads by tapping the skip button a bunch. They're often 2 full minutes.

To my knowledge it doesn't have that, but the suggested videos are pretty good. Like if I'm watching a science video, it will suggest other science videos. Otherwise I'm just subscribed to a few hundred channels and I mostly use the latest releases tab (not sure what it's officially called but it shows everything put out by your subscriptions every time you refresh it).
