    lure creators with seemingly good offers and then start to hold them hostage in ways YouTube hasn’t dared so far.

    Like Smosh?

    Young up and coomers, first giants on YouTube. Sold their channel and brand for stock. Then were tied to the company for years who worked them like dogs. Until the company that bought them went bankrupt so their stock was nullified and they in the end sold their company for $0.

    I wouldn’t say YouTube was free from it









  • I wish I could have the AUR without the rolling release, or more realistically I use arch without utilitizing the rolling release. I’m on such shitty + spotty + capped at 100gb I only update my system once a month. Haven’t had problems though, so I guess im not complaining. Updating my windows VMs is significantly worse




  • How did you stop? I was in the same boat, like 7 days ago. I decided in want to stop buying alcohol for the house. So maybe 5 days ago I finished the last bottle and can at home. Since then I’ve had a beer at lunch at a restaurant and 3 beers yesterday at a friend’s house. I was verrrry tempted to go buy some last night.




  • Just anecdotaly my dad is/was having some health problems. he got to the point he couldn’t carry a conversation and couldn’t walk in a straight line without falling over.

    He finally told me he was taking benadryl packaged as one of the OTC sleep aids, but taking it nightly for months or years. Once me and his doctor convinced him to stop he improved like 400x better within two weeks. He never noticed a difference.

    I only knew it was a problem because I took large doses in highschool and his symptoms seemed similar once I could connect the dots.
