Well. My child is that age and I very much relate to the protagonist. Was not expecting a gut-punch this afternoon.
I advocate for logical and consistent viewpoints on controversial topics. If you’re looking at my profile, I’ve probably made you mad by doing so.

One of my favorites short sci-fi stories ever.
Palaye Royale - No Love In LA Love these guys; they have some serious My Chemical Romance vibes and I used to live right near them.
Hey, wake up! The new Clippy skin just dropped!
Nope. Originally her party was elected when somebody else was at the helm, and then when Jason Kenney retired, she was just kind of put there.
Literally no one in the public voted for her originally.
I’m in Alberta but I vote NDP.
Before he left, Kenney was actually warning that the crazies were trying to take over. Hell, we thought Kenney was crazy. Turns out he was right about this one thing.
Literally nobody in the public voted for her in the first term at least.
Edit: WTF, Lemmy. I’m factually correct. Look at her Wikipedia page if you don’t believe me.
She was appointed when Jason Kenney resigned. She won in the second term, not the first term. In the first term, the public was not given a chance to vote for her or not.
Huh. Reading the article now that I have time, they cite massive immigration as an issue, not to mention training people from other countries who then go home.
I know people in hospitals that retired when COVID hit, but not GPs. Not to say it isn’t the case, but I’d like to see a large study showing WTF is going on.
So like… Where are they all? Is there still a brain drain to the US?
Ah yes, nothing like a nice rum and water.
I truly don’t mean to be pedantic here, but aren’t these nearly word for word the same beliefs Left-leaning people here have about the Right in America?
Maybe if you’re being generous and want to write out the other side of these beliefs you could leave out the descriptors “lazy and weak” and replace them with “psychotic and brainwashed”, but other than that, is this meme not the same for Left and Right?
As a Windows user who manually updates weekly and reads changelogs for what actually changes, neither do I.
But then again I don’t leave 400,000 items open on my desktop for no reason whatsoever and get mad when I have to close them.
The I.T. firm I run does this except we donate them to nonprofits.
Ah! A few ways to do things:
If you have questions, ask away!
But manually looping any part of it inside the video which you can do past the first 2 minutes would still not be an ad. Also, who doesn’t use an ad blocker on YouTube? All of those problems that you listed have incredibly easy solutions that you can execute with zero training.
And realistically if they are looking for profit (and they absolutely are) I still see no reason why they would keep these up. The benefits are absolutely minimal at best and the drawbacks are quite large.
Sometimes they are, if it’s just audio and a static image. Some of them definitely are not that though. The ones with visualizers or full music videos or the like are not nearly as compressible.
So to combat use cases like this, why not just add a repeat option? There would be no break if it cached the beginning again.
Also just download the audio you want and loop it yourself. It would take roughly 2 minutes and use way less bandwidth.
I wonder why they would kill old videos instead of just removing those 10-hour plus loops of the same song over and over again that nobody watches. You’d think those giant loop videos would be taking up far more space.
If I may ask, what would you be running if you had to pick today?
A trash heap where it fucking belongs.
There isn’t a thing that you can put ketchup on that a good BBQ sauce or hot sauce isn’t better on. I will die on this hill.
