if ublock origin stops working, you can erase your youtube cookies or wait a few hours for a ublock origin update to work around it.

Ironic that just yesterday I was getting blocked on youtube telling me that adblocking was illegal/against tos/whatever and that if i didnt want Ads I could subscribe to Youtube Premium… only now to announce ads on premium.

What a fucking shithole company.

edit

and they continue to take no accountability for failing to police their own ads, thus creating the essential need for adblocking services in the first place.

WE WOULDNT BE BLOCKING ADS IF YOU REGULATED ADVERTISERS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO REGULATE VIEWERS.

To many people care more about their immediate shiny than any lasting harm their actions do in the world.

Just look at how quickly the Nintendo Switch 2 sold out preorders, despite explicitly telling customers they won’t even own the device, and thus nintendo can fucking brick the thing whenever they want.

I’d prefer she take up parachuteless BASE diving, personally.

I want to know how Half Life ends. I couldnt give a shit about fan shit. Some of its good and engaging, not putting it down, but its not relative to the current issue… I want the conclusion to the fucking story I paid for and got massively invested in, in 2004. That I bought the next chapters of in 2006 and 2007.

Two things piss me off like nothing else when it comes to media.

Stories that leave you on a cliffhanger and never finish.

and Stories that are amazing all the way up until the end, when someone just decides to squeeze a big fat wet turd out and said good enough (Fucking mass effect…)

I’d rather spend 18 years being blueballed and cockteased by Bea Arthur.

don’t put it past nvidia.

they gotta fulfill those unrealized promises about native 4k gaming somehow.

Thats just social media.

Which is why social media shouldnt exist. cause its not good for anyones health.

30 years old next year 😭

Valve has said on at least a couple occasions they don’t really have interest in making games anymore, unless there is some new technology they get interested in that they can make a game around.

The HL2 episodes were basically tests for different source engine technologies.

Alyx was basically then playing around with VR.

So yeah, I can totally see some weird fucked up thing like a brainchip being what HL3 is built around, if HL3 ever stops being anything more than a syphilitic hallucination of a desperate mind.

kinda brave of you to believe in valve even if they produced a trailer.

Can he no longer enjoy life cause he logged into chaturbate.

Or did he never enjoy life, because his moms a miserable kind of cunt that announces to the world her sweet baby boy looked at THE PORNOGRAPHY and is stirring up a massive, baseless lawsuit over it, thus traumatizing the fuck out of him… which I imagine isnt the first time shes done so.

edit Whats the running bet on if the kids even allowed to have a bedroom door?

Is this cause of the money they lost from the google thing?

sung to the tune of I need a hero.

UN keeps wringing its hands about it, without wanting to do anything about it.

Its not entirely new.

in the 80s parents wanted to offload parenting onto the TV.

in the 90s parents wanted to offload parenting onto teachers and babysitters.

aughts parents wanted to offload parenting onto computers and video games.

now parents want to offload parenting onto cellphones and tablets. Cant tell you how many kids, even super young kids, I see with their faces absolutely glued to a cellphone or tablet. Even in my own family. Kids as young as 5 had their own smart phones, with completely unsupervised use.

and the one common thread in all of that, is how the parents never take responsibility for the damage their unparented, unsupervised children do or suffer.

Its always everyone elses fault. Its never mommy and daddy, who cant be bothered to give little Timmy even 5 minutes of their day, who is at fault.

I just don’t understand why people have or keep their kids if they hate them and don’t want to be bothered by them. It’d be less traumatic for a child to be given up for adoption and end up with a loving family, than to be raised by these types of people.

Reminded of that story of the mother who sent her (adult) son nudes to spread around his workplace and advertise her onlyfans for her.

Guy may have been an asshole, May not. We don’t know why he poked her with it. I’ve been in plenty of nursing homes where I’ve seen staff that deserved to be hit in the stomach with a sharp and pointy knife due to how they denigrate and disrespect the residents.

Regardless, it does not entitle him to being brutalized by cops with fucking bludgeons, tasers, and chemical weapons.

Same police that do and defend this shit, then have the audacity to complain that the public doesnt respect them.

America is pretty much the only country in the world that has ever accepted the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses.

No other country will accept a bunch of poor anyones with no money, bad health, and no unique and valuable skills. Not in any significant numbers that matter, at least.

and thousands? moving to another country would take hundreds of thousands, minimum. The paperwork alone for moving to, and getting citizenship in the destination country would probably require a hundred thousand alone, between lawyers and paperwork, not to mention probably a year minimum of time. Assuming you would even get that far to begin with, given Americas reputation on the world stage at the moment. It’d probably be treated as well as Russians wanting to immigrate.

Hell, even moving to another state is an expense most americans can not afford. Especially with the absurdity of rent prices being, in some places, as much as monthy minimum wage is, if not higher. Not to mention buying grossly price-inflated properties if you want to go the ownership route… anything that would be affordable will probably still need massive amounts of work to repair and make suitable for habitation.

S’why it pisses me off every time when some ignorant dumbass just goes " well if you don’t like it, move! ", cause I can imagine everyone that says that probably has rich parents that have funded their every whim, because how else can just up and moving at a whim be possible for the average person?

This is the exact kind of apologia and handwringing that I’m talking about.

Treating them like they’re some poor tribals on an isolated island whose only technology is fire and spear making who know not what they do.

They are not.

They are capable of asking questions. They actively choose not to, because they’d rather live in the comfort of the lie, then face the harsh reality of a truth.

Most of them have access to the sum total of human knowledge in their pockets (and in those slim minority of a minority of times when they cant, there are still other ways to access it all), which they refuse to use, because that would mean having to step out of their comfortable little sphere and face uncomfortable truths about the horrific things that they support and cant ever, in a thousand years, handle facing the harsh reality of.

Choosing to be ignorant is not an excuse, or makes them victims, or whatever other stupid bullshit people like you try to label them as.
