Someone will think you're more refined if you don't watch a YouTube ad though, whether it's through ad blocker or premium, that's the comparison you should be making.

Yeah man, Ashley wasserface was pretty much right, aside from the drinking, statistically.

It's open source? Maybe I'll make some PRs... But honestly that's shocking to me and huge. Do I support Truth Social now? Wild.

I'm barely into politics, my high school teachings of the political system aren't terribly strong in my mind. All that to ask:

  1. Can he do that?

And, if so:

  1. What would need to happen for a president to convert our system to lifetime terms?

  2. What would need to happen for a president to convert our system to a dictatorship/monarchy/whatever? (so we actually never voted again)

  3. Is it at all likely that Trump could make either of those things happen?

P.S. You don't need to make the 86th comment about how this isn't cryptic. Shitty headlines should be criticized, but it isn't adding to the discussion at the point. I mean, look at me, I managed to get through this entire comment and not menti- Oh crap, I'm part of the problem.

Can't wait for Grayjay to finish their desktop client. I also hope they add better functionality to sponsor block, akin to the desktop or revanced experience.

Honestly, the second biggest issue, after the lack of desktop client, is that it doesn't completely solve the problem. I'll still have to use Dropout's, Motor Trend on Demand's (now integrated into Discovery+), and other's streaming service apps, instead of having it all in one place.

That said, I'm not sure if Grayjay wants or intends to implement services that are more like a Netflix, where you'd be following shows instead of creators, considering their mission statement is to follow creators.

I really want Dropout's stuff, Roadkill, and Hot Rod Garage in Grayjay so I can simply add the videos to my watch later. For a show like Breaking Bad or something, I don't think I'd want that in GrayJay, but I suppose it'd be good to have options.

Yeah, like the other person said, corporate IT is responsible for that stuff. I guess they're working through the weekend to try to get it fixed.

Yeah, our VMs completely died at work. Has to set up temporary stuff on hardware we had laying around today. Was kinda fun, but stressful haha.

I live in a blue state. I'm not going to waste my time being "clever."

Lots of plastic, great

Watching Lewis Spears' (an Australian comedian) take on it, it's likely that the venues cancelled the events, and this is the PR reason.

In Spokane smoke season is just as bad if not worse, it's a lot dryer here. I have family in the PNW so I visit frequently, and grew up there, so I'm aware of both climates and forest fire season. I'm not sure how mountains are relevant, but in Spokane we're very close to large forests such as the Colville National Forest, and the Idaho Panhandle National Forest, in addition to forests further north, not to mention brush fires. One last year (called the Gray Fire) burnt down 259 structures and 10,085 acres, according to the fire's Wikipedia page.

Tl;dr: I'm very aware of fire season, but I generally consider it a sad and unfortunate inconvenience, not a common natural disaster, though in instances like the Gray Fire, it does happen.

We've been playing Redneck Life recently (highly reccommend) and you roll for your names. I think I got Billy Bob Bob or something similar once. Wilson Wilson sounds like it'd fit right in.
