  • Bruh that's lemmygrad. They don't represent the left anymore than Jeffrey Dahmer represents gay people.

  • That's the meme? But that's just gender stereotypes

  • Yeah, I've noticed it's gotten really bad. I'm not a sports fan myself, but I've tried watching NFL with my brother, and it's borderline unwatchable due to the sheer amount of ads.

  • What's a good service provider for this? Most ISPs don't provide usenet access anymore, and I've heard the free service providers are wack.

  • I'm gradually getting to the point where I'll drop Spotify. Shoving ads for podcasts in my face every time I launch the app was bad enough, but now their app has become such a bloated mess that it bugs out whenever my phone is switching between wifi and mobile data. I have more than 1k songs downloaded just so I don't have to deal with that, and now I have to deal with it because it's more important to them to show ads and promotions than it is for their app to do what it's designed to do.

    And before anyone says "tHoSe ArEn'T aDs," showing me recommended artists and podcasts against my will is absolutely a form of advertising. Do you think they're showing me new releases from Joe down the street? These are paid promotions, aka ads.

  • That's good. Someone's gotta keep those CIA honeypot workers employed.

  • There are people in every thread who ask, correct, but it's pretty widely known by now. It's no different than people previously having to ask what "CP" meant. Obviously, it's not a problem and is generally considered to be worth the imperceptible amount of educating people to transition to the new term.

    Personally, I don't find it annoying to have to explain things, so feel free to ignore the questions and leave it to people like me who don't struggle with the keyboard. What does it take? Seconds to type out the definition.

  • This is what it is, though. The entire point of switching to the term "CSAM" is because it more accurately describes the content as abusive.

  • I feel fortunate because to me what that person described actually does sound enjoyable and satisfying. I will straight up eat handfuls of raw spinach because I enjoy it. You'd be surprised by how many people feel compelled to share their disgust, though, which is one reason I prefer to eat alone.

  • Makes perfect sense now. I think my brain had a moment

  • I honestly haven't heard Russia mentioned, just Serbia, but could be

    It's hard for me to verify since I don't watch much of anything on Twitch that's not just personal friends streaming a game

  • Same for me. I even tried connecting through Serbia1 with my VPN, and it still works.

    1. Which, legend has it, results in no ads being served via Twitch
  • Where I live, you get very little over air TV. In fact, I'm not sure there's anything now.

    We don't pay for TV, but I have a little yo-ho-ho station, check out DVDs from the library, stream, or occasionally watch one of those free Pluto channels if I just want background noise

  • That Family Guy scene where Stewie says "mom, mom, mommy, mommy" over and over again and then runs out of the room
