My roommate is autistic and was in the special classes. He thinks it's funny to be called a retard when he's, you know, being retarded. He actively tells me not to stop doing it. Hell, he's the one who told me it was fine to begin with, haha

There's a world of difference between the road itself and the people who own the cars.

Not having a credit card is giving up free money in cash back and rewards. Just be disciplined and it's a net positive in every way, including security

Unfortunately it was for a personal project and nobody else understands the system so, haha

I was stuck on a problem for six months, and after figuring that out I banged it out in an afternoon. If anything you get stuck for even longer

You know you could just subscribe to remove them anyways right? I don't see the difference here

Donations don't work by themselves. Pretty much ever.

Ad based models aren't great, but the alternative is subscription based. And we know exactly what the internet feels about that. Look at the amount of people here in this thread given that exact choice and refusing to pay

You adding views to some random video absolutely does not offset the cost of your usage through ads. Ads can make a surprising amount of money for a platform (upwards of 4 or 5 dollars a month per free user). Based on YouTube removing premium Lite, I think it's actually very safe to assume that the consumption of free users is around that, so approximately $7 per month on average. Do you honestly think this would offset that cost in any universe?

It's okay to want stuff for free. Just make sure you fully understand the consequences and don't try to play it off like you're the good guy.

Okay, let's get rid of all ads and move to subscriptions across the entire internet. What a fantastic idea.
