I'm deeply invested in bitterness for leaving 1 comment pointing out that it might not even be a choice for someone if they couldn't afford it? Lol. Get a grip. I can simultaneously be thankful that modern medicine exists and also advocate for it being available to everyone, not just those that can afford it.

So what should they do without 10 days of income they likely need for food, shelter, etc? Not eat? Get evicted? Sounds like a great way to not avoid death

It isn't free, but I use a seedbox for running my Plex server. That way none of the media downloading is done on our local internet, all the ISP should see is that we are streaming data from a Plex server. They'd have no knowledge on if we own that data or not. I'm sure Jellyfin can also easily be run from a seedbox

Having a seedbox is also helpful because our internet has a pretty low upload speed, which would make watching anything outside the house a massive pain.

This is super informative without being condescending, wonderful job

I hope you have a great day!

Highly agree. I love fishkeeping, so finding a dude that likes it too would be great... as long as they semi-understand what they're talking about. No tropical fish without heaters, or tanks that aren't properly cycled for example...

As someone who rarely ever uses YouTube, $25 would be fucking bonkers to pay monthly for no ads. Imo a decent idea to explore would be x amount of minutes that are ad free per month, then after you hit that limit you get given ads. You'd have to be signed into an account, any instances with no account logged in get ads by default.

Another idea is to add lower tiers to the available plans. 5 people can sign in on the current option? Is there a cheaper plan that only allows linking 1 account? This could even tie in with the previous idea and have certain plans that give you x minutes of watching adless per month.

I'm sure there are plenty of other options out there. In fact I wouldn't be bothered having to watch an ad before a video (or a midroll in a longer video) but the experiences I've had with using YouTube frequently involve me pulling up a certain scene within a movie or something and getting 2-3 ads that are a minute long each, unskippable, and potentially midrolls in there if the video is over 5 minutes. It just makes me close the video and think "yeah fuck that, I don't need to watch that scene anymore".

Overall point: the ads would be fine if they weren't so excessive and intrusive

Im pretty sure it is using the sites' own descriptions of themselves

I doubt foreigners got here (likely on a work visa) with no skills or education. To get a work visa, don't you have to have a job lined up? There's their experience/skills. Myself and a lot of the class I graduated with in CS are getting hundreds of rejections despite having relevant education (and experience in many cases). With the hundreds of thousands laid off from tech in the last year there is absolutely not enough openings for everyone with skills and relevant education.

To make the years mirror better maybe? That's really all I can think of. 2012->2021 has the flip of the last two numbers

Yeah, the assumptions come from somewhere. From having men ogling at me since I began growing breasts. Women are constantly sexualized and I have 100% heard people say that they wouldn't mind their company hiring more women because they like to look at them. I never even said that's what you do, I said that's what your wording made it sound like. So if anyone made assumptions here, it is you.

In regards to the tech interviews - I don't see how you didn't think about the possibility of both a woman and a man answering the question correctly. We then return to the problem of "similar candidates, who will get picked?" Which, in the past, would have always been the man. Assuming they even asked a woman in for an interview.

Asking white students to not take the resources that black students worked hard to provide for themselves after white students had the privilege of them all along? Yes. Yes it would be shitty of the white kids to show up and take those resources. Similar to how it's shitty of men to take the resources that women worked to provide to other women in an attempt at making the industry more equal.
