  • The image doesn’t quite work because youtube needs a MASSIVE solution that works, scales, doesn’t fuck up their infrastructure and on and on and on.

    Meanwhile on the user front, all your doing essentially is just skipping parts of a video, that will always be infinitely cheaper easier to do. Challenging for sure, but the solution can be small.

    Even something as stupid as delaying your video start by 1 min, pre buffering then skipping ads. It’s brute force and barbaric but the point is that Google can’t do shit against that.

    My ultimate vision is AI that preloads videos you want and detects ads / sponsor segments and just skips them / cuts them out on your device.


  • A tiny container of “explosive” liquid like that would barely do any damage in the trashcan. Worst case it would injure a few people.

    The same explosion at 30,000 in the plane would be catastrophic.

    I get TSA is a lot of bullshit, but there is no really good solution for this except some hyper rapid liquid tester.

    Which just isn’t worth it dump it out and refill it past the gate.






  • Some debates don’t even need to happen anymore. No the earth isn’t flat. No trans people aren’t monsters trying to kill Jesus. No vaccines don’t turn you gay. No the world wasn’t created 6000 years ago.

    We’ve legitimized too many morons in the world. Not everything is a debate, some things are just facts that need to be thought to the ignorant.


  • If you are having trouble understanding simply replace cis white male, with any other group like gay black woman. Is it still funny and ok?

    I don’t like to discriminate against races and sexes no matter where it’s coming from. And saying “it’s just a prank, bro” doesn’t make it ok.

    There are plenty of ways to make a joke like this by actually targeting bigots.

    My simple rule is: if it’s something you are born with it’s not ok to lump people together (race, sex, sexual orientation). If it’s something you chose, like political affiliation, etc then it’s all fair game.




  • I don’t know man, I like Linux but use windows because it’s easier to use with less hoops to jump through and I’ve said so on here without much backlash.

    But windows / linux seems more like a meme on here than people actually fighting over it. Like I myself will sometimes make a PC MASTER RACE joke, but don’t actually give a shit what people game on.

    But, back to your original point, I’d genuinely like more examples of things you think you are not allowed to say on here. I don’t like echo chambers so I think if there are valid points they deserve discussion.
