Maybe I've lost patience over the years
-The break meant that there would be at least 15 minutes of no ads after
-During that long break you had the ability to empty your bladder, or get more snacks
-You didn't get repeats of ads during that singular break
-The ads weren't targeted to you specifically, but targeted to the viewers of the show you were watching
-The advertisers saw value in "quality over quantity"

'PC Gamer' Celebrated 30 Years of Video Game History Without Naming a Single Woman
Considering that the term "computer engineering" was created by a woman, programming is based on maths solved by a woman, and the push for graphics in adventure games was started by a woman, I don't think PC Gamers list is worth even checking, as I know that many notable leaps in gaming I don't know about have since been pushed by women.

YouTube recomending shorts above videos to premium
In addition those short are infuriating to watch, because YouTube takes off most of the video controls. You cant turn on or of closed captions, you can't jump back or forwards, or even fullscreen the video. Unless you embed it somehwere else. Proving that it's a deliberate design choise from youtube to gimp the controls. And then people publish tutorials as shorts.

why does this community have no posts 🥹
One of the biggest reasons might be, because "chonkers" can be considered an animal abuse, as overfeeding your pet is not healthy for said pet, and causes them to suffer from inability to live their life to the fullest, and most likely they will strain their internal organs to the point of failure. The knowledge of this has reduced the popularity of real life "chonkers", as people actually feel empathy towards animals, instead of considering them as cheap "entertainment".

Medusa
Reply in thread
Well, according to the legend, by Ovid, she most likely is. She is described as a fair haired maiden, which results Poseidon forcim himself upon her in the temple of Pallas Athene, and therefore Athene punished Medusa by making her hair venomous snakes, and her gaze to turn people to stone.
She was genuinely a victim, and had all the reason for defending heeself, while probably being more kind than any other character mentioned in association with her. Hell, the reason she was killed was that some dude didn't have a horse to give to another dude, so he sent his son to get medusas help. And then that kid had divine aid for killing Medusa, who up to this point has been nothing but a victim for the entertainment of gods.

Now the question is: Will this have the lifespan closer to Stadia, or Google+

As a carnivorous fattie, I do care about nutrition. And in all fairness, I'm open to suggestions for naturally vegetarian foods.
Now, before I get a list of "vegan beef and tofu", what I mean by naturally vegetarian, is foods that don't include tofu (which I personally don't just like), or need to advertise being vegan. I am looking for foods that, from the beginning of the time, have never had meat removed, or replaced. I want "accidentally vegetarian" -foods.
My current favourite is bean-tomato soup, but it gets rather one note.

What are some underrated instances of the Fediverse?
Reply in thread
I want to like peertube, but the discoverability is terrible, and last I checked, it was pushing mostly cinspiracy theories. And every time I try to see around, it's just impossible to find an instance that would host interesting videos. Also, I find hopping around instances feels awkward.
Also, it seems to consist of "video dumps", resulting the instances having the "new" videos being hundreds of videos posted by just one user. It's just... not there for me, eben though I love the idea :/

Sun Burn
To be fair, the skincolour technically does two jobs; while darker skin protects you better from sunburn, the lighter skin also absorbs vitamin D from the light (and darker skin also protects ou from getting too much of that D). That is why the skincolour gets lighter, the more north you go, as the sun does not provide as much said vitamin.
Why am I mentioning this, well, the traditional bane of nordic hemisphere people is depression due to the lack of said vitamin D, during the time the sun just don't come up, so if anyone with a darker skintone migrates here: remenber to supplement that extra D, because even the pale snowpeople have issues getting enough naturally.

To be fair, we still have a covid pandemic going on because people are not smart enough to do the smart thins. They will hide their ingections, the infection screenings will be done by incpmpetent people, the rich and dumb elite will preserve zombies as "exotic pets" they show off to their friend because "they have money, so rules don't apply to them", and sentimental idiots won't let go of their turned loved ones. Not to mention the otherwise entitled people who just blatantly disregard every precaution because "You can't limit my freedom with this hoax".
But yeah, in ideal world, the zombie outbreak would be dealt swiftly.

The Real Problem With Transitioning...
To this day, I have no idea why there isn't a local service to mod deeper pockets in women's clothing. If I was a proper tailor, I'd probably start such service myself, but every time I openly mention that such service would probably be profitable, everybody goes "Yeah, I'd be using that service", but never anyone who can actually do the job, rises to the ocasion and starts a bussines.
So if you're reading this, and can handle your needle and thread, here's a bussiness idea: take a small fee to cut open, and expand pockets in clothes there have fake pockets.

I'd say, just go in to any nursing home, and say you want to adopt s grandma. They propably assing you multiple ones; unfortunately in msny cseses there are loads of elderly people who don't get visited by anyone, so they are very happy to have "volunteer visitors".

HP insists you must use their cloud printing service, covers USB port with sticker
Can't wait for either open source community, or the pirate community, for starting to jailbreak HP printers. To be honest, if I was more savvy with tech, I'd probably start taking that as a fun little challenging hobby.

They also confurmed it with DNA. Then again, a bottle of vodka to the right person, and the DNA test says the bloke who got buried was mr. Pringles.

It feels so futuristic
I haven't had the need to sail the seas, since BluRays are still being pressed, and the local library has a bunch of them. Free of charge. Also found a use for my old PS3.
