I'm under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you're ad-blocking and they don't like that, they'll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.

You may be overestimating how literate the average person is.

Everyone is ignorant in their own way and there is not a person alive you can’t learn something from.

Honestly I was just thinking about that and I think you could learn a thing or two from a baby. They're very in touch with their emotions.

Yeah, babies are fucking stupid... absolutely the dumbest. Constantly trying to kill themselves. No self preservation whatsoever.

Are you a new dad that was recently on "keeping it alive" duty? :D

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That doesn't mean there are no differences in people's intelligence.

[–] Elting@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Then please don’t let me interrupt the dick measuring.

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yep, dicks are very diverse too.
