A couple billion years from our point of view.

Dude doing the programming hasn’t even left for lunch yet.

I’ll check it out. Thank you.

I found a neat little workaround that I used for a while. I’d load the video up in my browser, turn the phone on an off a couple times, press play on the lock screen, and enjoy it that way.

Edit:

Still works. Just gotta full screen the video and then power off before it kills picture in picture.

And now I’m listening in the background as I type this.

The interview I seen, he was talking about declassifying anything but the Epstein files for fear of hurting innocent people with phony stuff.

You know what. Fuck if, I’m gonna find it.

What exactly is happening when it’s downloading that stuff?

I haven’t really thought about it.

I have somehow avoided Amazon all these years. It’s easy for me, nothing I require is connected to Amazon.

I’m sure there are aspects of the business that I can’t avoid that I don’t even know I’m being dragged into, but I don’t spend my money with them.

Anytime I can’t find something somewhere else, I just move on and forget about it.

The only times I’ve ever been bummed about it is when I’m working on some small project and the parts are half the price on Amazon. Most recently, it was parts for an arcade machine.

If I’m being inconvenienced, I don’t even know it.

I walked away originally when they acquired cdnow.com. I last visited the site when it began redirecting to Amazon.

Well, yeah, you can call it “paused” if you want to. The cruise control definitely stays on though and resumes the set speed when you stop accelerating. It completely disengages when you brake though, so I’ve never thought of it as turning off when I accelerate, only when braking.

I’ve never had one that turns it off if I accelerate.

They’ve all shut off if I tapped the brakes though.

I can’t imagine having something like this.

You know what kind of couples I have known who use it?

Yep. That kind. The constant accusation, constant fighting, constant chaos kind. The same kind who share a Facebook account and all that.

I guess my bias there would be that those would also be the kind of people who advertise it.

I was standing beside an old coworker one time when her husband called, “babe, don’t freak out when I start moving. The boss is sending me to harbor freight to pick up some things.”

I got a call from her in the middle of the night one time, “I’m sitting by the lake and I’m about to drive my car in and kill myself.”

She knew her husband didn’t like me so she thought I wouldn’t call him. Well, I called him. “That bitch is lying. Life 360 has her sitting at her mom’s house right now. She just fucking wants attention!”

Still, I called a friend and asked them to drive by and see. Yep. She was at her mom’s house.

This comment is batshit insane and I love it.

Very bold…atlas.

Put pictures up of the team America characters and type, “derka derka, allah jihad. 103 blah St.”

When they get there, they’re confronted with nothing and the joke is obviously a joke.

Not that it would save you.

Where is the “water isn’t really wet” guy!?

Your comment is 8 hours old. He should be here by now!

I’ve been dealing with this forever.

Some issues I have that I only deal with when I’m not signed in without an adblocker:

If I try to skip back to a spot in a video, I get the loading circle and sometimes it doesn’t come back until I refresh the page. I have to make a mental note of the time and do that pretty often.

In safari and Firefox I will get a black box for about 40 seconds, no play button, and sometimes I have to refresh the page a few times just to get it to work at all.

Comments will not load sometimes until I refresh the page, sometimes more than once.

The video will sometimes stop and start “loading” while I’m watching it. The solution is always a page refresh or two.

Signed in with an adblocker, the problems drop by about 50% (pulled that number out of my ass, but I’d be willing to bet it’s close). Signed in with no adblocker on Firefox or Safari and the issues become significantly less noticeable, with exceptions from time to time. Signed in with no adblocker on chrome or edge, I experience none of this.

I believe they purposely throttle it on non chromium browsers too.

Sorry if this comment is jumbled. Woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache, got bored waiting for it to pass, so now I’m here and barely conscious.

Isn’t protest coooooo you guys?

First of all, I have not seen it, and second off, I don’t want to see it. Lets focus on the Reddit lawsuit.

Yeah, and there are decent ways to do that, which many successful companies and individuals manage to pull off every day.

I have no horse in this race because I don’t use any of this stuff, but I despise the direction everything is going.

Human parasites are never happy with being well fed it seems. They aren’t happy unless they gorge until they get fat and explode, or they’re so greedy they end up killing their host.

:p Some folks want that dick anyway haha, so don’t worry about it.

Damn, man. That really sucks.

That’s really depressing.

I always figured we’d go down this road, and in a bout of psychosis when I was younger I even lost my head over it and we really are there now.
