Dang, most of the pixels didn't even go.

Zero day exploits, to be expected. Obvious simple solution, just upgrade grandma firmware.

For sure, that's what I meant by membership. There's just so many different creators I watch, I can't afford to support them all directly. Maybe I'll make some playlists to play on the TV with ads while I'm out of the house.

I've used an adblocker for ages as well, though I do wish content creators on YouTube could get some passive non-membership revenue from me without me having to disable my adblock and look directly into the Ark of the Covenant. I could get Premium, but at that point, I feel like I've negotiated with a terrorist.

Social security number is the public key, now just issue everyone a private key. Boom. Fixed.

The idea of going to native Tibetan people, after you've already successfully stolen their country, and removing them from their fertile homeland by force so they can serve as your border guards while you encroach on surrounding terrotories... so evil in so many ways.

But China has accrued enough power and land in this way already, it doesn't seem like anyone is going to take the risk to stand up to them. Not until they make a move on their target, but as a nation with massive amounts of resources unlike Russia's feeble attempt to take Ukraine.

We've thawed out after the cold war and everyone feels somewhat confident none of us want nukes on the table no matter what happens, so some of the warring nations have poked their heads out and begun slowly ramping up to see how hot they can get without causing a big reaction from the superpower across the sea.

The way China's "communist" authoritarianism allows them to just move people around and command them at will, like a person playing Risk, is super scary to see in action. I feel safe here, but I am massively afraid for my fellow humans in Taiwan.

It's simultaneously hilarious and heartbreaking. I can feel their panic.

"Oh no, I did a bad. Go away bad. Oh no, oh no, they're going to find out I did a bad chew. Bad away! Bad away now! Why is this not working?"

I've never been put under, but I just assumed OP meant that they would say something right before they started counting, not after.

"Having legs" was always the most basic tool of bicyclist propaganda. If you have no legs, you can't be fed bicyclist propaganda. The most steadfast anti-biker I knew in my childhood was a corn snake I found in my backyard. Bicycle propaganda did not reach him.
