That's what I had going. I was fine with supporting the creators that I subscribed to. I have a whitelist on my ad blockers for sites that I support and have decent ads (if it looks like "Ow! My Balls" from Idiocracy, I block them). But, YouTube added WAY too many ads, unskippable ads, ads everywhere. It's too much, and the creators get less and less. I block everything I can on YouTube now. Some are still getting through, but most of the time I'm good. Still some great creators, and I'm going to start downloading the ones I really want to keep for reference.
We have a Mexican store here (one of several), but people come from ~90 miles to come to THIS one. None of the others in town, just this one. There’s a ton of others between here and there but this one is special. It’s not fake documents because I know other places that have those.
Not sure what they’re doing but they’re always busy and a ton of out of town/out of state people come and go.
Yea, I saw another post arguing that. Spyware does it without your consent.
Although, post a new topic and we'll see where it goes. It could be an interesting discussion.
So, the ones Trump said would vote for him? He loves the uneducated and gullible!
Like gender affirming healthcare, women’s healthcare, etc… yea, government having a say is horrible unless they do what you want, then it’s ok.
Conservatives can’t even support their own ideals. What are they arguing about when they support the same shit they say they don’t…
Effective, sure. But, if a company is truly engaging, listening, adapting to the employees needs and feedback, unions would be a lot less needed or effective. When companies are exploiting workers, lowering wages and benefits, causing more problems and not listening to employees, unions can really make a huge difference. If the people are looking to unionize, the company is failing and the workers aren't being listened to and they want change to happen.
Unions can do a lot of good. I'm very pro-union. But, people don't go looking to unionize if things are going great and the company is really listening and adapting to employee concerns.
I remember jumping from Firefox to Chrome because Firefox became so shitty for a while. It's sad because at the time I had Firefox so tuned, bookmarks perfect, theme perfect, but it was slow and ate up all resources. Chrome was "fast as fuck, boy!", but it took a while to get used to it and get it how it was perfect. I'm still trying to get Firefox to where it's perfect again, but it's slow going. I'm still about 75% Chrome and 25% Firefox.
Kind of. But, without the "cool" factor. You were a geek, a nerd. Computers were for nerds for a while, the internet was like a computer library which were also only for nerds. Towards the late 90's, it started to become cool and then suddenly everyone and their grandpa had a computer and the internet.
It was a bit more difficult back then, too. I was dialing into Seattle (long distance) for my closest POP for the internet. Had to use trumpet for Windows because it didn't have a native dialer, and Mosaic for a browser. Before that, it was all BBS's. Always fun finding new sites (and we also had a "internet phonebook" that was a physical book with a list of most websites).
Yea, and they really implemented that poorly, too. Reddit video has to be the worst video playback (when it does play back) on the internet since 1996...
Yup. He made the mods and users the bad guys and he is just trying to be the good guy. He's a dick, probably a narcissist, too. He's the victim, blah blah blah.
Those little Snoos. That company is like a family. A bunch of rockstars. How could those evil mods and users do this to them?!
Nice seeing so many of those that I visit often are dark. Before the blackout, there was talk of if they should go permanently. But, those discussions will happen after things go back. With Spez being a dipshit about it still, I'm thinking several of them will leave Reddit forever. I'm good with it.
This was the way it was for me when I was younger. We didn't have to do anything. Just have someone around. We'd read comics, play games, do whatever. Just be around each other, doing anything or nothing. Sure, there'd be times we were very active together or go do something. But, it was very cool and fun to just have someone around and hang out for the company...
