The richest people in the world aren’t on the richest people in the world list because they own entire countries. Putin is probably the richest single person in the world. Kim Jong Un is up there too.

If you can have literally anything you want within your own borders that’s a lot more than having shares in some company that could lose value overnight.

I would highly highly doubt it. He’s just the “science man” of memes so he’s used as a stand in for all scientists, or at least science communicators.

There’s a word for alternative medicine that works. It’s “medicine”.

I forget the attribution.

Also the fact that one bad year in your tiny part of the world means you and everyone you know die slow agonizing deaths. Fun!

The back pedaling has reached the “it was a joke. I was only pretending to be wrong” stage. What comes next?

Just admit you spoke without knowledge and try to do better in the future. It’s not that hard.

Why would you even assume? The info is in the linked article. Point being, if you’d read the article you wouldn’t need to make assumptions.

YouTube started testing pause ads last year, as reported by Adweek. These ads will pop up as banners around the video and can be removed by hitting the “dismiss” button. They’re going to be pretty similar to the pause ads that Hulu introduced back in 2019.

Pausing just brings up a sidebar with a static image ad. Maybe they change that to audio amd/or video in the future but right now you just seem uninformed and reflexively hostile. Maybe like, experience what they’re doing before judging? Or at least before commenting…

I’ve been getting this on the YouTube app on shield TV and fire TV stick lately. It’s as you said; just click dismiss on the ad and it goes back to full screen.

How does it feel, to ruin a life?

I honestly can’t tell if you are pro or anti time zones from this comment.

I’m using a bunch of wyze cam 3 cameras with the wzmini custom firmware installed and outside connections turned off. They took a while to figure out how to set up since I’d never had to deal with ssh keys before but after set up they are pretty bulletproof.

I can get back to doing what I love, shitposting maps.

Nature is so strange and beautiful.

They’ve removed plenty of games. At least so far, there’s always been notice a few weeks before they leave and the game remains in the store for purchase.

I’ve actually bought a few games on steam because I could try them on gamepass. No man’s sky, last call bbs, and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night come immediately to mind.

I have gamepass and it’s fine. Large library, no penalty for choosing a stinker means I can experiment with games I wouldn’t have before, and I can still buy games if I want. I think that’s a reasonable middle ground that benefits everyone to some degree.

While your toilet isn’t alive to crave your waste, the microbes and such at the waste water facility that your crap goes to do in fact crave and need your waste to survive and propogate. It ain’t ice cream, but your crap always ends up as food for something.

Last pass has feature that will give access to another person of your choosing if you die or are incapacitated.

That does make more sense.

My wife is very attractive but years of childhood bullying means she has a skewed perception of herself.

It’s more like if a landlord canceled the leases on a bunch of properties that a chain of privately owned libraries was renting.

“keep your books but you can’t keep them here” in a way.

This looks great. Im using the lidarr extended scripts which can use deezer or tidal.
