I was someone who always knew about ad blockers, but just wasn’t bothered enough to use them.
I used YouTube SO much that it was worth it to me to have premium.
After all the bitching and moaning from YouTube last year, I un subbed, downloaded free tube instead, and also finally added an ad blocker to both my mobile and desktop browser.
I imagine I’m not the only one with that story haha.
Don’t get me wrong. Families got it plenty hard. I’m not fighting that. But don’t forget as a solo person, you don’t get to split the bill on anything.
Families have the disadvantage of larger costs, but the huge advantage of split bills/duel income. You don’t have that advantage.
Times be hard for everyone, just in different ways 🫠
It’s nearly impossible to follow the rules when they are specifically being hidden. No one can keep track of every single rule off the top of their head. That’s why we have things like speed limit signs or no parking signs. Hours of operation for a business clearly posted. Etc.
This law is the equivalent of a road going from 55mph to 35mph, but never telling you with a speed limit sign. Then you get pulled over for speeding because the cop knows it’s 35, but fuck you, go to jail, because you expected there to be a speed limit sign when the speed changed, you know. Like on every other road ever.
The fact that there are 33 pages of outlined rules for this when applying says they intentionally put those rules together so people would follow them. It’s not fair for me to know some obscure rule is missing from the 33 pages of rules specifically supplied for me to follow. That is called deception.
They set an expectation by supplying 33 pages of rules. “Here are all the rules” by leaving one out, you’re intentionally trying to fuck people up with it.
Then there being no place to even put a previous name on the form is just fuckery on top.
“Sorry you wrote you previous name on a part of the paper that wasn’t designated for that, so now we have to disqualify you for following the law. Sorry, it’s just the law /shrug”
iOS 11.3 came out in march of 2018, so nearly 5 years ago, with a menu in the settings telling you your battery’s health, it’s peak maximum performance, and included the ability to disable throttling on your phone if you wanted to.
Like. They did tell people. They literally added a feature to make older phones last longer (so even if your battery was shot, you could keep using your old phone), and people still bitched about it.
Apple doesn’t make their money on selling you a new phone. They make their money by keeping you on iOS. New or old they don’t care. They just need you using their App Store.
Again. I’m not saying apple isn’t classic evil big business. But this one ain’t on them. Either people were gonna bitch and sue because their batteries “are dying earlier then they should” or were gonna bitch and sue because “my phones being slowed down”. Physics says you can’t have both.
Is… is she wielding an axe in the bottom left?
At least when I open up Mac OS, it doesn’t show me a pop up ad telling me how XBOX CONTROLLERS COME IN SO MANY COLORS NOW click here to buy.
I’ve gotten that pop up the last 3 times I’ve booted up my windows machine.
Windows is great for gaming. But it’s the only thing I turn that machine on for.
I too was playing by the rules with premium for years. It was great. Then they gave me an ad for paramount plus even though I was playing for no ads.
I switched to freetube and haven’t gone back since.
They had my money. But they got too greedy and pushed a paying customer to the dark side.
Even more, people should be ENCOURAGED to change. One thing that most politicians lack is the ability to reassess a position, and come to the conclusion that they were wrong.
If you blame someone for changing their mind on a position, you just encourage them to dig their heels in deeper and not be open to new information and ideas.
It’s not minimizing the difference. It’s talking about an entire different problem. You seem to be in the wrong conversation.
God. Now I’m just imagining ready glitter bombs being delivered.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
IMO, they don’t want to take it off the table. They use drama to stir up their voters. If “they” solve the crisis on the border, now they can’t use the “boarder crisis” as a tool anymore.
Just my guess.
