Good one!
A conspiracy theory that only works for people with no mates…
See as much as I dislike the company, I can see how it would make sense from a business and logic point of view. They are paying for the servers and, to some extent and form, for the content, and by using any ad blocking content you sabotage their earnings from this platform. I’m surprised they are not blocking browsers with said plugins, but that would cause a major uproar. But then again, not much competition around…
No.1 Apparently not present on uBlock Origin, which makes it not a problem for me (though it’s shite that they are doing it anyway). I don’t use YouTube that often anyways.
No.2 You are not loosing a lot - it’s most likely some crappy video about a guy slipping on a banana peel or some shit like this - 99.9% you are not missing on much :D
Oh man been off the personal plan on gmail for a while (only have gmail for work because my office is on gsuite) and my pal showed this to me recently and I fucking rolled 🤣 I had tutanota an proton for a while but no SMTP support forced me into zoho which is still a millions time better than gmail
The fact that it goes to a malware website makes it 100 times better
No idea mate thats what makes it even better 😃
Appropriate
Hahaha really smart
Graphicaly getting Strong’s dragon’s lair vibes - look really cool
Do you have any good news for a person working in graphic design industry? Any sensible alternatives to Adobe CC/Affinity suite?
When I say free, I obviously meant “at no extra cost”. So doesn’t matter if you are working, if you are a foreigner or any other situation - you need help, you receive it. No questions asked, no worries about the cost - people come together and everybody chip in.
Regarding the gun violence, USA is a big country. I know that thefts and rape are an issue in the area I stay - I never experienced it first handedly though. It doesn’t mean it’s not an existing problem.
But, not to drag this forever, it seems we both happy in the places we live in. Both have their good and bad sides, so let’s just agree to disagree :D
You are going a bit too far I think.
Don’t be fooled by the propaganda, the tenement blocks you are referring to as “ghettos” are standing to this day, and they indeed, are comfortable. My partner’s family lives in one. Since the abolishment of the soviet block, these were brought into half public half private domain. So you can just go and buy a flat in one. It’s a lot cheaper than a freestanding house/flat in the city centre, but they remain in decent standards (at least some of them).
I’m not saying that everything is peachy in the Eastern Europe - quite the opposite. There is a lot of socio-political stuff I 100% don’t agree with, economics are not in the best shape either. But given all this, I’m still glad I grew up there, rather in a place where I have to worry if I break my leg, will I be able to afford to go to hospital. Medical care and most of the necessary meds are free or subsidised so they are easily affordable. I don’t have to worry about gun violence, because guns are mostly contained to the criminal underworld and they keep it that way. Because of that, the police force doesn’t have to wear guns on the streets and they know how to defuse a situation without using lethal force. I went to college and got a degree, without worrying that I will have to pay off some exorbitant debt.
Best part is, country where I live and studied is not even my birthplace nor am I a citizen of this country. But still, free medical care and free education applies to me - beauty of the European Union.
Say what you want, I love where I live :)
Growing up in Eastern Europe I had a romanticised picture of USA and I always wished I grew up there.
Only until years later I realised how privileged I was not having to worry about the student debt, medical insurance and gun violence…

Absolutely true!
True! But I think everyone in here managed to shed a little light on the complexity of this particular conflict and the hopelessness of it.
Interesting point!
In your opinion, who is at wrong in this conflict? Or would you say both sides are right to some extent and there is no “fair” outcome?
Who do you side with?
Good one!
