I just wish youtube would stop giving me advertisements for medications for diseases I've never heard of. I mean, I'd outlaw prescription advertising if I could, but just how many people have these conditions that blind-buying ad time for it has any roi? E: a word, also vvvv don't work for the youtube app. Very little of my youtubing isnt done on a phone. Fantastic Foreskin has a new favorite as of 05:04 on Dec 26, 2020 |

sometimes I get to experience people learning for the first time that healthcare in the US is so ingrained with capitalism that ads on television are covered with different medicines they want people to request from their doctor and it's always Fun

Or Vanced, if you're on Android E: also gives you sound-with-the-screen-off functionality, which I don't remember Firefox doing

Or just use a DNS on your phone? This one is for adblock but if you have a different server you prefer it's the same steps. I'm 90% sure that works for youtube ads too, but I've had a premiere account for youtube for a while now so if it got patched out don't blame me.

Youtube serves the ads from the same host as the vids so DNS filtering doesn't work on them.

I have Youtube Vanced on my phone and my tablet and my TV, so no matter where I'm watching videos I don't have to deal with any ads. It also lets you play videos in the background, in windowed mode, and with your screen off, which is useful when you want to use a Youtube video as background noise.

Vanced for Android has been an absolute lifesaver for me personally (haven't needed to use an actual computer at home in ages, some of us on the forums are practically mobile only, shocker I know) but I'm not sure how one would use it on a TV short of casting their phone screen while using the app. Casting anything to my tv as is just routes through to the regular youtube app and it's ads ahoy there

It was piss easy to sideload newpipe (another youtube app that suppresses ads) on a fire stick, I imagine it can't be that different for vance and some other android thing.

If you can install apps through the play store in your TV, you can probably try installing Vanced.

I feel like the point is that "mask madness" is a real bad phrase to use even if you mean it positively (yes, I'm aware of 'march madness')

Speaking of sports, covid, and dumb marketing: the sister store to the restaurant I work at has just put "BOWL GAMES ON PROJECTORS" up on their marquee sign. Yes, please, let's encourage more people to congregate in an enclosed space where you don't have to wear a mask because you're eating/drinking. Surely no one will contract the virus, causing the business to shut down, money lost, and over a dozen employees out of work! Great plan!

I don't understand the mentality of wanting to eat out, I'd just be sweating and wanting to get out ASAP enough that it'd be a terrible experience. I know restaurants gotta make money to stay alive, but I've been doing way more pickup orders than I used to, to get my food.

I know restaurants gotta make money to stay alive, but I've been doing way more pickup orders than I used to, to get my food. I've always had an underdeveloped sense of personal safety, but the idea of sitting with a bunch of unmasked people to shove porous surfaces against a mucous membrane makes me itchy. Given the stupid poo poo I do on a regularly basis without a second thought, I can't even imagine what's wrong with those people.

We had nine adults and three children gather at Christmas and that felt weird to me, even though it's a hundred percent within current regulations ( ). Going to take a while to feel normal again.

My grandmother, who has been completely isolating for months, drove her car over to our house and back with no stops along the way to visit my wife and me, who have been completely isolating for months, and it still feels like we probably shouldn't have done that. I do not understand people at all.
