I do t consider bonds or CDs as gambling. They are guaranteed unless the entire financial institution dies, in which case your investment in ammo matters more than money.

Got my sim rig up and running, so assteo corsa and war thunder.

Im doing the same… but its so tempting…

Love the star trek memes. And like all things linux, i understand like 20% and the rest goes over my head

Yep, it just was better regulated in the recent past. It wasnt always much better, the great depression era was arguably worse. It only took 20 years and a world war to pull us out.

Its kinda perfect down the middle.

Speed and movement like a COD. Very crisp and fluid and fast.

Damage like a sim. Single shot kills, no kill feed or hit markers etc.

Diabo 2 remaster is still really good

Other than that, il just wait for poe 2

The problem IS the centralized authority. Can you forever trust a government to not artificially inflate or deflate the value of a currency? The whole point was to have a system with no single authority. No single point of failure.

It is, however, not perfect. The volatility, limited number of transacrions per second , and reliance on an incredible amount of energy expense were the largest of these when the original bitcoin concept was created. Some of these issues have solutions, but its still an evolving technology.

I viewed it as more of a donation to see the stupid meme on Nascar or other dumb sponsorships.

So… you dont like the service… just dont use it at all anymore. Then they cant track your data as well.

Oh, ffs. You dont see that the reason you “need” sponsorblock is because we used adblock so much that the only way the creators could make a living was injecting their own adds into their own videos.

The money youtube makes from selling your data does not cover the cost of running the business.

What about all the creators of videos you watched that you dont support on patreon? They dont deserve anything for their work?

The fact the guy above you has been downvoted, and you are upvoted makes me think people dont see this comment is clearly sarcastic.

Im neither. Im a software developer for a small tech company.

My reasoning is 100% selfish. I dont want the content creators that i watch to stop creating things i find incredibly valuable. And i dont want google to cancel a service that i find incredibly valuable.

Dont think that they wont do it. It just has to become unprofitable.

They have already killed 14 services this year alone. https://killedbygoogle.com/

Not all creators have patreon. Also are you using patreon to pay google?

Seems like premium with extra steps?

Revanced pays the content creators and google for your usage?

• You also get to play video with a screen off on mobile

• You also get to download for offline viewing

• You also support the creators of the videos, not just google.

• AND FFS YOU DONT GET ADS.

Using adblock isnt some innate human right. They are well within their rights to block adblock.

You get almost the whole worlds information for free in video form. You can be entertained or use it as a teaching tool. It is the best place at this point for product demos and reviews. It is a crazy wealth of information and infrastructure that everyone takes advantage of and somehow just expect to be free. If Google cancells it because it is not profitable, i would bet the efficiency of the entire human race takes a significant nose dive. It also probably runs one of the highest sets of data storage and encoding on the planet.

Im confused. Whos the somone elses hard earned money? And who is the they?

If your reason is only moral, then you should also never use the service.

I read it in school, but honestly did not find it to be all that special. Its a good book, but its message was pretty simple and i think modern audiences would agree with the premise immediately.

I found “The Catcher in the Rye” to be the most thought-provoking of high schools books. However, i dont think it really would improve society if more people read it.

If i could think of a book everyone should read to improve humanity, it would have to be something akin to either statistics for dummies, moral philosophy for dummies, or wealth management for dummies.

Its a few swings away from working pretty well in America, too.

Hold our beer real quick.
