Firefox isn't far behind now. They just announced ads are coming and they know their platform is used heavily with ad blocking extensions so they'll cut it

The only ones who will embrace it are the advertisers....

The hardest part to combat is laziness. Amazon is a one stop shop. Personally I don't care to shop online much anymore but when I do I'm always using direct websites for the companies since I know what I'm looking for.

Also something scary to think about, They could lose most of their customers and still thrive because of how much money they have already pulled in.

Here's a really horrifying fact about ads, they don't expect you to go right out and buy their product. Ads target your subconscious and manipulate your way of thinking. There was a study done by some university and tested by a few people across different fields of study that proved this to be correct. I wish I could remember off the top of my head where this was published. If you do a little browsing you can probably find it and you should because you can't trust a stranger like me to properly relay the information.

Christmas starts in August. It's disgusting. Whenever I point these things out everyone thinks I hate Christmas. I really don't. Christmas joy can't last half a year it's unreasonable. To counter it i only put my tree up 2 weeks before Christmas. I'm not gonna spend all day in Christmas land everywhere then coming home to it.

Imagine being so bothered by another man you plaster his picture all over your insanely expensive vehicle and drive around with it and talk all about him with everyone.

No you're not. You're allowed to hope for something and be let down it's on them to do better especially since they can and have the resources to do so but choose not to.

There needs to be a law that requires a physical copy of anything offered digitally. This law does nothing. People don't read the terms as it is adding this won't encourage anyone since it'll be smothered into a bunch if legal nonsense the average person won't even understand.

This was our last streaming service we were hanging on to now we will move forward without watching any TV and I'm OK with that. These last few years are really forcing us to be a little healthier. Can't afford junk food, fast food, and now TV. It sucks but I refuse to he dragged down by the constant barrage of bad news.

Best buy is coming to join them

It's really about where you bank. Never had master always visa over the last 20 years with 3 different banks.

But fear not! For they shall blame pirates for this!

That's because everyone is doing multiple price hikes a year and people don't care.

I pay the same and it covers next to nothing. I'm done paying my medical bills. If they want money I'm insured figure it out with them and don't bother me. I have insurance so my child can. If I could I'd have just them covered. It's significantly cheaper for me not to have it

It's definitely a thing. I've called two different places first time I lost my shit on the menu then got a person. 2nd time I tested it with "are you fucking kidding me?!" Got a rep. I plan to continue until it doesn't work.

I just got accepted into the beta for walkscapes. It's such a relaxing game and using steps vs distance is super nice to have as a tracking system.

As someone who does a lot of DIY what are my options? I can't learn from reading and have nobody to show me how in person. Other platforms are so incredibly limited I can't ever find any content helping me learn something. What other platform is seeking to ACTUALLY compete with YouTube by offering fair compensation and exposure to the masses? It's so incredibly expensive to try that nobody is.

I use to have this way to thinking but then we are encouraging people not to change. This is a group of kids maybe raised wrong maybe thinking it's okay to joke about so should this ruin the rest of their lives? Should they not be given the chance to do better and learn from this? It's not murder and nobody was harmed by it. Being offended isn't traumatizing.

At what point is the punishment fitting the crime in a case like this. We've learned posting this to social media already effects people long term so wouldn't just posting it here be enough since they may have also been reprimanded by their community.

Front right is wallet and keys front right mini pocket is pixel buds, milwaukee fastback, and file cabinet key. Front left is just my phone. Back right is work badge. Back left is typically where I collect receipts without realizing it. I also have a pen pocket by my right knee which always has a pen

They can still exist they'll have dedicated areas. Super common to see on a school yard. The overall issue is massive areas of black top not small basketball courts
