YouTube cracking on ad blockers.
I haven’t watched live tv in almost 20 years because I refuse to sit through ads, and I definitely won’t sit through them on YouTube. If it was a banner or some thing on the page or the side of video that would be more acceptable, but sitting through ads to watch a YouTube video….there’s just no way.

Just leave, ffs. It's annoying that in the end of the day people still remain in droves. The only hope is that reddit drives itself into being unusable.

Reddit kills awards and coins
They can keep shooting their own feet all they want. I'm glad to be done with it. I thought I wouldn't manage to keep away, but Lemmy is an adequate replacement. In time, it may even come to be okay.

It's disheartening to see that people still stick to reddit. But they still must be endlessly complaining within it.

Amazon and Tolkein Estate force author to destroy all copies of his work. Only pirated copies will survive.
The author then filed suit against both Amazon and the Tolkien estate, claiming the streaming series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” had borrowed from his sequel and infringed his copyright.

I would suggest the Russians have never had a greater interest in controlling a US president than right now. Given how disastrous a Trump win would be, this is not the time for positivism and certainties. Anything could happen.

Why do people crumple a paper into a ball?
Because throwing a paper ball into the bin( or the near floor) is far easier than a flat piece of paper.

Meg Ryan Defends Son Jack Quaid Of ‘Nepo Baby’ Label: “That Nepo Stuff Is So Dismissive Of His Work Ethic”

If the child doesn’t want those easy comparisons they could have done something different than their parents. That’s what most children do who have to brave their own way.
