I thought it sounded familiar and searching the phrase only led to Discord, so I figured you must've been! It's a great show.

Are you quoting My Little Pony?

That's essentially how I use the Heap playlist

Bing AI image creator says that my username isn't descriptive enough to generate an image from.

Bing says mine isn't descriptive enough, unfortunately

Oh man, guess that anyone with ADHD should just try not having it if they want to be a pilot!

I want to believe that the rule is there to not bar people who were incorrectly diagnosed in the past but... I wouldn't put it past them to believe ADHD can be "cured" or "gotten over"

As someone with ADHD... What the fuck? Driving without my meds is much more dangerous because EVERY sensory input is jumping into my attention span. Much easier to focus on important things while on meds

I actually had more fees when with a credit union. Iirc they wanted $3 to issue a cashier's check - the bank I was with charged $5 for a cashier's check... after you had used the free one they allowed each month.

The bank also honored my request to decline charges that would overdraft my account. They don't charge for declining these charges. The credit union ignored my choice on that and charged overdraft fees without any notification to me that my checking account was negative (I had money that was in a savings account linked to the checking, I had just forgotten to transfer after getting paid). So I think ymmv for the quality of banks and credit unions.

My bank has a system where overcharging a checking account can pull from a linked savings account to avoid overdrafts.

Instead of a $35 overdraft fee, you get charged $10 for the intense labor they do of transferring the money for you. /s

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

I've noticed that at some point since it came out, Horizon: Forbidden West actually added a thalassophobia relief option into the settings! It brightens everything underwater and allows for infinite breath underwater regardless of if you've unlocked it in the story or not
