I’ve been dealing with this forever.

Some issues I have that I only deal with when I’m not signed in without an adblocker:

If I try to skip back to a spot in a video, I get the loading circle and sometimes it doesn’t come back until I refresh the page. I have to make a mental note of the time and do that pretty often.

In safari and Firefox I will get a black box for about 40 seconds, no play button, and sometimes I have to refresh the page a few times just to get it to work at all.

Comments will not load sometimes until I refresh the page, sometimes more than once.

The video will sometimes stop and start “loading” while I’m watching it. The solution is always a page refresh or two.

Signed in with an adblocker, the problems drop by about 50% (pulled that number out of my ass, but I’d be willing to bet it’s close). Signed in with no adblocker on Firefox or Safari and the issues become significantly less noticeable, with exceptions from time to time. Signed in with no adblocker on chrome or edge, I experience none of this.

I believe they purposely throttle it on non chromium browsers too.

Sorry if this comment is jumbled. Woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache, got bored waiting for it to pass, so now I’m here and barely conscious.

Isn’t protest coooooo you guys?

Hey man, I’m an Appalachian hillbilly. I’m right there with you. My people actually busted their asses to win union representation, fought and died for it, killed their opposition in the streets.

Nowadays they’re licking boots and voting roughly 90% for republicans who lie and tell them that coal can come back.

If their grandparents knew that they’d turned to suck the cocks of the coal bosses they’d rise from their graves and gun them down.

We’ve not only been left to rot, but actively participated in covering ourselves in shit and now we’re letting the maggots feast on our flesh.

I understand your frustration.

We have great music, great food, flat asses, and no brains.

Bro, it is all of us.

Human beings have shown over and over again throughout history that no matter their heritage, they’re just dumb and incapable of seeing it.

We have brilliant humans all over the world from varying backgrounds, but most of us (myself included in oh so many ways) are just pitifully incapable of getting any of this right.

We focus on what is in front of us and relevant in a moment, and when another human starts running and screaming, we all start running and screaming. We don’t stop to ask why because we don’t want to get eaten or left behind.

Someone else shows up and starts eating a little grass in the little stupid field, and the rest start looking for things to chase them off over. “Something ain’t right about his hat. It’s funny! Git eeeeem!”

This is exactly it.

When I talk to my family about how they can excuse all of this crap and continue to support Trump. “Wayuhl. I voated fer Trump ‘cause all ‘iss gay sheeuht. It ain’t godly and we gotta git back godly.”

Ok, so you can forgive rape and the most visibly disgusting gluttony and greed you’ve ever seen, but two people better not be gay even when it has no impact on you whatsoever?

“It’s awyuh see onnuh teevee inny more. Gay ‘iss and gay ‘at. They shuhtin’ be brainworshin tha keeuhds.”

I want to eat a bullet I’m so exhausted with it all.

First of all, I have not seen it, and second off, I don’t want to see it. Lets focus on the Reddit lawsuit.

Yeah, and there are decent ways to do that, which many successful companies and individuals manage to pull off every day.

I have no horse in this race because I don’t use any of this stuff, but I despise the direction everything is going.

Human parasites are never happy with being well fed it seems. They aren’t happy unless they gorge until they get fat and explode, or they’re so greedy they end up killing their host.

:p Some folks want that dick anyway haha, so don’t worry about it.

Damn, man. That really sucks.

That’s really depressing.

I always figured we’d go down this road, and in a bout of psychosis when I was younger I even lost my head over it and we really are there now.

As a parent, I didn’t want to mess my kids up and make them feel shame about natural things. I don’t know what the right way is, but I have tried to avoid that.

I have enough kids that I know some don’t do it early, some do.

My approach has been, “hey, that’s a private thing and no one here wants to be a part of it. Go to your room and shut your door.”

I have no idea if that’s right, and because of my own issues it doesn’t feel right, but that’s been my approach. I try to think about it logically and reasonably despite having to fight the feelings. My instinct was to say, “HEY! CUT IT OUT, THAT’S NASTY!!” All that did for me was give me an association with “nasty” and those feelings and all I had was my mind, and oh boy I wish I could erase the memory of the things I thought about as a kid.

My daughter is 16, and she’s overly open with me to a level that makes me uncomfortable because she isn’t ashamed of herself.

I also know that she will be healthy when she’s active because she feels comfortable talking to me.

She broke up with a girlfriend for pressuring her, and she told her boyfriend that she understands why he wants to do that and why he thinks about it, but she isn’t ready and if he can’t handle that he can go find a girlfriend who is on his level about it.

With my parents, you did not discuss such things. It was totally forbidden. As a result I had unprotected sex with multiple partners by the time I was 18 and I started when I was 13, started fooling around at about 9. I had some real weirdo adults in my life and I never talked to my parents about it because the thought of them knowing something so shameful about me was too heavy.

I had my first child at 16 years old. I do not believe that would have happened if I had access to education and I could have talked to my parents without feeling shame.

It feels like I’m going against my very nature when my daughter talks to me about things, but I grit my teeth and bare it, and she’s in a much safer and healthier place than I was at her age. She laughs and me because I blush and can barely look at her when she brings it up.

Maybe I’m doing one thing right in a sea of things I’m definitely getting wrong haha.

I believe we should feel shame about some things and that’s why we have to contend with it in the first place. We shouldn’t be ashamed of natural things though.

We’re here because of a long line of creatures and people banging. I don’t know why we freak out about it so bad.

Knowing is one thing, being caught cock in hand is another. :p

It was always there. ;)

I don’t understand how these kids get caught. They gotta be really slow or something.

I was caught 0 times as a teenager. My mom never found my porn.

My brother was caught a few times. My cousin was caught in the damn car on a family vacation with OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR just yanking his noodle under a blanket.

I was so cautious as a kid. I guess because I was caught and thoroughly shamed when I was about 4 years old. Maybe that’s why I never got caught when I was old enough for it to matter. That shame gave me a lifelong lesson.

I had a motion detecting toy dinosaur at the bottom of the stairs. When someone approached the stairs it would go, “raaaaaawr, raaaaaawr” and I’d be sitting at the foot of the bed reading a book by the time someone got upstairs.

If they suspected anything, didn’t matter. I was reading.

When I got high speed internet (as it was called in those days) I threw out the tapes and magazines. I had a separate hard drive I’d plug into my computer juuuuuust in case, and since I was always messing with and tearing into my computer, my mom never found anything. That drive had Linux, my mom was scared of Linux.

Now that I think about it, holy shit they fucked me up haha.

When they caught me as a little guy my mom said, “oh shamy, shamy.” And my dad said, “you keep messing with that thing and it’ll fall off and you’ll turn into a girl.” They spent the whole day giving me that, “oh you shameful creature” look.

Haha, man. Wow.

Yeah, maybe my people just messed me up.

Please. It’s beautiful!

Look at this. I have the onnly Tim Apple gifted, solid gold iPhone with a diamond oh-lit screen. Look at this, isn’t it beautiful? It’s so beautiful. Me-lah-nee-uh is jealous.

This and the solid gold Tim Apple laptop cah-puter were gifted to the department of defense. A bunch of sad losers and suckers are crying because they don’t have one.

It is to be handed over to the Trump… presinential lie-berry when the new one comes, which I’ll get first by the way. Nobody else has even seen one.

Thank you Tim Apple from Apple Cah-puter. Building in Uh-mare-icuh.

It’s what I’d do if I were an ambitious, resource hoarding, ass pimple billionaire.

It’s obvious the way to Trump’s heart is to tell him he’s pretty and give him something .

Heeeey a link!

You’re the best. I loved that.

My experience with psychedelics (enjoyed with others) is that what you experience relates directly to you the person.

For me, I was already terribly empathetic and I became crippled with empathy, incapable of any move in any direction that didn’t benefit everyone.

Ego death doesn’t happen for everyone. Some egos are too big to kill and grow even larger.

That is my anecdotal experience. I knew someone who went from huge ego to an ego to end all egos.

He woke up the next day convinced that the world needed him.

I’ve never done ketamine though.

LSD, DMT, and mushrooms. That’s it for me.

Don’t know the reference but I’m sure it’s awesome. :p

They do make games for phones though. I haven’t heard of any in a while but I remember some dust being kicked up about Mario coming to smartphones about a decade ago.

I’m on my phone now actually. Let me look.

Yep.
