France, feel free to take your statue back. We aren’t using it anymore

Thankfully it’s for absolutely no good reason that we’ve done this to ourselves

My goodness that’s lame

Considering the liquor is off to the side, no, you don’t need to walk through it to get to the cereal. Let’s not imply that more regulation is needed

Life is a terminal illness and tomorrow is promised to no one.

So you’re kinda the problem that OP is asking about though. How are they supposed to generate income? Paywalled articles that you skirt those restrictions too? At what point does it become theft? This silent battle between a site needing revenue to exist, and users trying their hardest to block ads and take the content for free?

It’s not just ads. It’s ads that cover what you want to see. Popups that intentionally trick people into clicking on it when they are trying to close it. Hiding the X. Having subtle ‘click to read more’ instead of scrolling down into ad slop.

Let me read the fucking article without being harassed and bombarded. Let’s not pretend like this is a binary ads / no ads concern. When ads are predatory and take up the majority of the space, don’t act like you’re a victim trying to make a buck. There’s a long way to go from hosting ads on your site to making the experience as ad-intrusive as possible, which seems to be the goal

(The generic ‘you’ is used. I don’t know what website this post is referring to and am not calling them out specifically)

Crumple zones are your friend

‘Daily briefing from Ukraine’s spy agencies’ isn’t a hunch

Lmao

No, I’m saying she wasn’t kicked off for being deaf.

Sounds like she was kicked off for an open beverage, and is trying to leverage her disability. Not sure one equals the other. She was not kicked off for being deaf

The meat is going to be very uncomfortable long before the water freezes or melts

There’s really no need. You’re (collectively) the ones bothered by it.

I’m not a cup of water

Precisely. You get it

I also convert, neither system bothers me. I truly believe that the pushback against standard measure is that most people who use metric don’t know the conversions well enough to comfortably use them. Most Americans don’t either, hence their resistance to metric. But once you learn how to convert between the systems in your head (roughly) you can navigate both. It’s like being bilingual

Fahrenheit for temperature until the day I die. The rest I don’t really care, the mental conversions are easy to get close enough. But F for temp as a human being is vastly superior

You’re wearing headphones, the timing doesn’t change whether you’re upright or laying down. There’s nothing to fix, because this perceived problem is caused by you physically laying down. In-room speakers may provide what you’re trying to achieve. Otherwise, close your eyes and get lost in the music, so what if it’s coming from the ceiling? lol

I guarantee you aren’t the one to decide that. Mind your business
