    You’re going to hate this response, but if you’re already paying to avoid ads, you could get YouTube premium. I got grandfathered into it from Google Music and honestly I feel it’s absolutely worth it. It’s about the same cost as Spotify and comes with YouTube Music that works just as well. So I look at it like paying for Spotify with the added bonus of no ads on YouTube and being able to play videos in the background. I also tend to watch a ton of YouTube videos and often use them to fall asleep to.

    At this point, it’s the only subscription service I still pay for. I’ve ditched all the others, but that one has stayed. Anytime I see someone watching YouTube without it, or without a good quality ad blocker, I’m horrified. So. Many. Ads. I don’t get how anyone can watch anything like that.

    But I get it; most people would rather drag their ass through a mile of broken glass than pay YouTube a dime, and I totally respect that. Just sharing my experience.

    Dude, look around. Most of us are way, WAY past the “We’re all in this together! We can do it if we try!” method of living and have been operating in survival mode for the past 5 years. And can you blame them? The flood waters are rising and people are wanting to make sure they have a life raft. If that means working for evil people/companies, then so be it. It’s not like working somewhere else will stop or slow the flood. Morals are nice, but they won’t keep you afloat.


  • In DnD, there are many ways of approaching character creation. You can make a serious character with a deep background which influences the story and play style… Or you can completely ignore all that and just make a goofy little guy. You will usually get some mixture of both in most DnD groups.

    So the first two characters are discussing their serious background and their motivations and then the other two are just like “I am a fancy lil frog nobel.” and “I’m a farmer!”






  • I remember when Fall Guys came out, there was often a blatant cheater in the matches just flying around in the air skipping all obstacles. But then something beautiful would happen during team games. Through an entirely unspoken agreement, any team that got matched up with the cheater would self sabotage and intentionally lose so that the cheater would get out.

    Nothing was more heartwarming than seeing the entire team standing around a giant ball, refusing to let it move, while the cheater flailed around in vain trying to knock it away.
