It’s too difficult to block huge swaths of things you’re not interested in. Like sports, or memes, or music. You block one community and 99 more about the same subject appear in your feed.

Adding some sort of Usenet-style organization or sublemmy tagging might help.

Drugs actually have three names:

• chemical name
• prescription name
• marketing name

Anything but brutalism.

• The ads aren’t targeted properly for one thing. I see ads for stuff that would never apply to me. Such a waste of money.

• Many of the videos already have a sponsor, so they are double-dipping.

• Also I’m not going to sit through 60 seconds of ads for a five minute video. Get real.

• And don’t lie to me about “Watch this long ad break and we won’t show you more ads during this program.”

I think Prime has the right idea of front loading the ads at the beginning of the program instead of interrupting thinks every few minutes.

I’d pay for ad-free YouTube if it didn’t cost as much as HBO. Charge $3 to $5 a month and I’d consider it. Otherwise I’ll just mute the TV, or skip the programming altogether.

Makes no sense. Am I supposed to run out and buy a new piece of equipment just to log into Reddit? 🙄

I will add that I’ve yet to find a decent tasting store brand soda or sparkling water. I have no idea why it’s so difficult for them to get the flavoring right.

There’s plenty of good used stainless flatware out there. Older stuff found at estate sales is frequently better quality and cheaper than buying new at department stores.

Computer circuits based on light instead of electricity.

Apple will happy replace your device battery for around $90 to $200. It’s not like it’s impossible to do.

Just had some of the worst “store brand” honey mustard. How do you mess that up? Tasted like they watered it down by adding extra vinegar. Watery. Gross tasting. Lesson Learned.

Being a session musician and being a ”star” are completely different. Session musicians aren’t required to sing and dance, stay fit, do interviews, go on tour, do press junkets.

Both session musicians and pop stars can be talented at what they do.

Look for a stereo plug aux-in port on the car’s stereo. You can get a Bluetooth receiver that will plug into that if there’s no usb input built into the car. This will let you listen to music, audiobooks, podcasts, etc from your phone using your car speakers.

This also works with turn by turn navigation prompts that come from the phone.

Just remember to keep your phone plugged into a charger on your trip so that using it this way doesn’t drain the battery.

Overalls are awesome. Especially when worn by a handsome guy without a shirt underneath.

There are mentions of beards, full public bush, overly white teeth, and tats. This thread isn’t just about women.

It’s strange that this has made a comeback. It was a thing in the 1960s. And it’s a pain in the ass.

I think fake eyelashes can look flattering on older people when they are done right. As you age, your lids start to droop and your eye sockets recede. Fake eyelashes can help provide better definition in those cases.

Fun facial hair is awesome. Love a nice beard or mustache or sideburns. I draw the line at mustache wax tho. It grosses me out for some reason.

There was nothing wrong with WebOS. HP just didn’t have the cojones to stand behind it.

I’ve been living with chronic back pain for years as well. And I definitely get short sometimes when I’m in pain. It makes me tired and cranky sometimes and takes its toll. I have asked my family to remind me when I’m acting like a “grumpy old man”.

Some of this is because they’re living with pain. Your body breaks down as you get older. Some of it is Fox News brainwashing.
