you’re not wrong, but it won’t be all Midwest towns, just ones that aren’t landlocked. so cities on the Great Lakes and the Mississippi will be the ones to really blow up

the evidence is, like you said, all the big cities on the coasts are either full up, have costs of living that are unsustainable, they’re perpetually on fire, running out of water, or all of the above sometimes.

been watching a lot less youtube since the anti-adblocker stuff started getting ramped up

By keeping ublock origin's blocklists updated and following their advice of disabling other blockers on youtube.com I've seen that pop-up like twice, both times when I hadn't used my computer for quite a while so the blocklist hadn't had time to update in the background.

I don't know how you can say that when there really is so much good content on there. Google's trying their darndest to make it a horrible experience with their ads and algorithm fuckery but there's nowhere on the internet where you can get both amateur and professionally produced (and anything in between) information and entertainment on practically any topic.

most the time i'd rather read than watch a video. the exception is learning manual skills, but even then a well-illustrated guide is better than most videos. it's just that text plus video blows away text alone.

make it illegal to make videos that are just talking to the camera. write a gat-dang article instead!

Thanks for playing Alone in the dark 2.

Now please fuck off

I've only had to pee in a bottle once and that was when my landlord was having work done in my bathroom, I was surprised at how much I peed I almost filled the bottle up.

What I'm saying is this man is right, get two bottles. This is the most educational video on youtube

I keep a Gatorade bottle in the car to take a Bezos if I get caught in traffic. More than once the freeway has shut down for Kamala Harris specifically.

having tried and failed to use little half liter water bottles for this I can confirm that you need both increased capacity and wider opening to not make a mess. A gatorade bottle is a good choice.

no, that kind of audio is good for when youre doing dishes or in the workshop making something out of wood. it being a video is stupid as hell.

There's nothing preventing you from just listening to the audio from the video. I do that all the time. The fact that there's video doesn't really have any disadvantage as long as it isn't written in a way that assumes you can see what's being shown on screen.

i don't disagree with this, but on a practical level where are folks gonna put their audio-only stuff that's as discoverable and consumable as youtube? cause it ain't podcasts
