Firefox isn't far behind now. They just announced ads are coming and they know their platform is used heavily with ad blocking extensions so they'll cut it

The only ones who will embrace it are the advertisers....

The hardest part to combat is laziness. Amazon is a one stop shop. Personally I don't care to shop online much anymore but when I do I'm always using direct websites for the companies since I know what I'm looking for.

Also something scary to think about, They could lose most of their customers and still thrive because of how much money they have already pulled in.

Here's a really horrifying fact about ads, they don't expect you to go right out and buy their product. Ads target your subconscious and manipulate your way of thinking. There was a study done by some university and tested by a few people across different fields of study that proved this to be correct. I wish I could remember off the top of my head where this was published. If you do a little browsing you can probably find it and you should because you can't trust a stranger like me to properly relay the information.

Christmas starts in August. It's disgusting. Whenever I point these things out everyone thinks I hate Christmas. I really don't. Christmas joy can't last half a year it's unreasonable. To counter it i only put my tree up 2 weeks before Christmas. I'm not gonna spend all day in Christmas land everywhere then coming home to it.

Imagine being so bothered by another man you plaster his picture all over your insanely expensive vehicle and drive around with it and talk all about him with everyone.

No you're not. You're allowed to hope for something and be let down it's on them to do better especially since they can and have the resources to do so but choose not to.

I'm not vegan and won't ever be but can see that it does work just not to the extent a lot of them would like the world to. Like I said I'm not vegan however with the innovation of the meatless foods like the beyond burgers and such I'd be willing to try it IF I don't have to pay and if I like it then that's 1 more thing I'll do towards a better eco system even if microscopic. Then you have kids/teens who will see this and begin to lean towards being vegan as they wouldn't like what they see/learn.

At the end of the day even if it's a small audience they'll still reach people and change life styles which is ok

There needs to be a law that requires a physical copy of anything offered digitally. This law does nothing. People don't read the terms as it is adding this won't encourage anyone since it'll be smothered into a bunch if legal nonsense the average person won't even understand.

This was our last streaming service we were hanging on to now we will move forward without watching any TV and I'm OK with that. These last few years are really forcing us to be a little healthier. Can't afford junk food, fast food, and now TV. It sucks but I refuse to he dragged down by the constant barrage of bad news.

It's really about where you bank. Never had master always visa over the last 20 years with 3 different banks.

 

The project entails blowing out 2 bay windows and putting standard size ones in place. Problem is we need to figure what to do about siding. The last 7 years we have looked at siding and have never came across these. I've considered doing cider slats painted this color but it's still gonna be an eye sore.

And for those who will suggest it, no I'm not going to reside my entire house.

 

I'm looking to make links stand out by any means. I find myself always opening them and having something like YouTube or other video services open and start playing while in places where that's not ideal.

 

As you can see it's shiny new and still has its packaging on it. It's was so smooth and quiet!

 

With the ad adjustment came these banner ads on the top of comment sections and they are atrocious so much so I don't bother reading comments anymore. They all have the obnoxious white backgrounds and they flicker since they move. It feels light no matter my phones britness they are blinding and since content doesnt get loads of comments the banner is just distracting while reading. I'm on board with ads as I haven't paid to remove but this specific style changes how I'm using sync now.

 

I have to avoid all caves and dark areas to prevent it but last night on sanctuary 2 it does it again but I'm outside but the night cycle triggered. Resetting works temporarily but it eventually happens again

 

I'm working on learning about servers and such but it's a lot to take in. I'm looking to get a 5tb hard drive and install it into a network attached storage tower. What else would be needed to make this work? Links provided are what I'm thinking
