This was the turning point where I started actively defending gays about two decades ago. Before then I didn’t really care I was younger and it wasn’t really in my life.

But if you’re going to tell me that some middle/high schooler is going to choose bullying by assholes by announcing (or someone finding out) that they’re gay there’s no fucking way you’re going to tell me that’s by choice. Leave the damn kid alone.

Of course there’s more details than that but that’s the gist of it. It’s hard enough as it is leave them alone, it’s none of your business.

Que?

Some things you really do just have to learn by experience, but there is no reason to withhold knowledge that can help someone be better or do something easier.

YouTube has converted “sharing knowledge” to “monetization”, so no one helps unless they’re getting something back for it.

You tell me! You asked, so it seems like you have a different definition. Also I’m not the op you originally asked, I’m not going to answer for them, but seems they were very clear.

Whether they mean the same and how society accepts definitions of words are completely different. Do you call your mom a female or a woman? Because female would be insulting in my opinion.

In a more scientific environment absolutely female and woman could mean exactly the same and have no difference. But in society if you call a woman a female I would not care if she slapped the shit out of you.

How much clearer can “as a WOMAN” be?? Do you have a different definition of woman?

I’m not OP. But if you’re trying to low-key make some sort of gender joke, take that shit elsewhere please.

“A female” is what incels use, it’s pretty disgusting and demeaning.

as a woman

Going off your chain to the extreme

You don’t need oxygen, just die

Lmao

They built it this way on purpose, hostile takeover, then let the shit happen. Like the other guy posted, the quality or source of the ad doesn’t matter, could go straight to a scam site, so fuck them. Block anything you don’t want. Ads are about 10-12% of all my network traffic according to pihole reports. That’s entirely too much.

And sure you don’t have to use YouTube, but where else are you going to go that has more hours of video than you’ve got days left on this planet? The destroyed other video sites to create the shithole that many people depend on. Don’t act like you don’t use it.

Also, even if you’re using revanced or the tv one that blocks ads, the content is STILL YouTube, so you’re still “using YouTube” just a roundabout way. I have revanced on my phone and the one for the tv, s something. Both work amazing. But it’s still YouTube.

Back in the day you accepted it because it wasn’t full on tracking you, wasn’t building profiles on you, wasn’t infiltrating all your search history just to sell you shit. It was a banner, you clicked or you didn’t. Enshittification hadnt happened.

Now? Block it all!!

I won’t watch YouTube without an ad locker. Used to pay for premium for years through VPN in turkey, was like $4/ month for family plan. But now they region lock parent methods. So back to ublock origin and Firefox in addition to a pihole setup that blocks hundreds of thousands of ad sites. Fuck advertisements.

CTRL SHIFT R can help too, forced refresh of all cached data.

Came to say the same shit lol. Let’s put the hole back!

I think its more punishment for kids, not theft prevention.

+1.

No contact 100% will help a lot. It sucks but it’s not the end of the world.

It’s an ad

I like to be like that lady, what are you going to do, try and get me fired? Let’s go.

Not a lot of trouble around me though. Good for her.

Paid to keep the poor in place between wars.

Plus they’re not going to run you down, they’re going to taser you in the back and watch you face plant into the asphalt. They don’t give a fuck. They’re going to dog pile and twist your arm until you “comply”, no need to communicate more than that. Comply or die. Bullet will outrun you every time. Fuck cops.
