Yeah, I am very likely autistic. I wonder when the lawsuits will start.

People used to tell me that I reminded them of Sheldon from tbbt as though that was a compliment.

Dear YouTube, if anyone there ever reads this.

I tried not to block ads, I would let the preroll go and usually not skip it.

I started skipping ads when they started getting long. I recall some were several minutes long at times.

I started leaving videos part way through when there were mid-roll ads, and those got long enough that I'd often forget what I was even watching.

I started blocking the ads outright when I would be watching a relaxing video, and a very loud mid-roll ad would blow out my goddamn eardrums.

Fuck you YouTube. You abused your users, you chased off good content creators, and now you're offering people no carrot and all stick. How about you offer to match the volume of the ads to the videos, limit the length of ads to something reasonable, and nicely tell viewers that you are making ads less annoying and that unblocking the ads helps pay the content creators.

Someone please explain to me how 3D printing vegetables could be cheaper or more efficient than just growing them?

I worked for a company that was also a small ISP. If the internet service for our clients went down we were not allowed to tell them the truth. We either had to blame the upstream provider, or act like we had just heard about it and were looking into it.

My parents raised me with unfortunate views, as did the churches they forced me to attend. It was only through life experience that I came to realize they were wrong.

Violence didn't help me, it made me feel isolated and more inclined to think that those using violence against me didn't have rational arguments against my views.

Violence doesn't win arguments, and it should be a last resort, using it for instant gratification is a sure strategy to prolong conflict.

Can I use any windshield washer fluid I want for my car, or do I have to match it to whatever remains in the resevoir?

It really bugs me after all these years that we haven't simply started calling Open Source software just OSS or Open Software to get rid of the ambiguity.

The whole, that's "free" software, not "FREE" software thing is older than sin and I think it might be Richard Stallman's fault we even have this discussion.

If love to see Python under "Data and Statistics".

The whole list seems old though, are all of those programs still available? I suspect there are other great new programs that could go on a list like this.
