To be fair, I suspect the average adult in real life probably only remembers, and uses, 5th grade math.
Companies wonder why people use adblockers; this is my experience trying to read this article on mobile without an adblocker:
Picture of the outside of the building.
Three paragraphs, each composed of a single sentence.
Ad.
Two paragraphs, each composed of a single sentence.

A teaser block trying to get me read another article on their site.

A stock photo of a public bathroom with mirrors.
A teaser trying to get me to follow them on Google News.
A single sentence with eight words.

Another sentence, which is a quote from a school admin.

Two paragraphs, each consisting of one sentence each.
Teaser block trying to get me to read more articles on their site.
A stock photo of some social media platform logos.
A trending block with links to more articles on their garbage site.
Two more paragraphs, each consisting of one sentence each.
A distracting carrousel of images that are links to more articles on their site.
Two more paragraphs, one of which actually has two sentences!
Links to their social media.
Is that the end of the article? I think so, but I’ve missed things before, so better keep scrolling a bit just in case.

Okay, pretty sure I’ve read the entire article now, but let’s keep scrolling to see how far this bullshit goes.

And then the following pattern SIX times:

FINALLY a whole bunch of links to other articles, some of which are promoted by Taboola, whatever the fuck that is.
And the entire time there was a red popup for “breaking news” taking up 1/5 of the screen.
For those keeping track at home, the article was a total of fourteen sentences, one photo of the school, and two stock photos. And no photo of a bathroom without mirrors.
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

Cheaper than a kid!
It’s a fantastic idea on paper; you, and another family, want to go on vacation but want to be more comfortable than in a hotel while renting your homes out while you’re gone so someone one else gets the same comfort and you get to make a little of money to help pay for the vacation. And everyone saves a little on their vacation accomodations to boot. Everyone wins! And then capitalism and greed happened and people turned the rentals into a business and ruined it.
Why not both!
Depends on what you are using it for.

I think /u/WarmSoda may be as pleasant in real life as their username.
I’m not informed enough on the specifics of why those two countries are/were against Sweden joining, so I can’t speak to that, but every member of the alliance has to approve new members, which is why anyone gives a shit what they think or want. Of course, a healthy alliance isn’t one that ignores its members, so even if their approval wasn’t required, it would probably still be best to get it.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but surely you aren’t grouping this guy with the likes of Veritasium, Smarter Every Day, Steve Mould, or Cody’s Lab (just to name a few)? “Content creators” is a pretty broad brush.
Edit: I think I understand now. The quotes are air quotes; you don’t mean all content creators, but ones that create garbage content, like reaction videos, malicious pranks on strangers, etc., and call themselves “content creators”, right? If that’s what you meant, then sorry for my initial assumption!
For anyone looking for good YT channels, here are some more of my favorite actual content creators: Simone Giertz, Steve Wallis, Matthias Wandel, and Vice Grip Garage.
If you don’t own it when paying for it then you aren’t stealing it when pirating it.
Maybe they meant that they’re already done masturbating for the day? Just 20 minutes into browsing? High praise indeed for this incest coffee porn, I say. Good job, Folgers.
This is obviously fake. Just look at! It’s only like 10 inches long. Everyone knows a real CVS receipt is 3ft minimum.
Or my bony ass hurts. Seriously, I look like a frog standing up. I don’t have a butt, it’s just more back.
Drivers Tend To Kill Pedestrians At Night. Thermal Imaging May Help.
Thermal imaging will definitely help spot those dirty walkers so I won’t miss as many. Those bastards can blend in sometimes and some of them are deceptively quick. The little ones especially are tough to take out. Of course, sometimes those guys just run right in front of you which are easy points but it takes the sport out of it.
Anyway, it’s about time someone put the right tools in the hands of us hunters. I can’t wait to have an evening cruise with my lights off and really get a good stalk on, you know?
I don’t believe that ad blockers modify the user agent, so if you can modify the user agent of FF to emulate Chrome and solve the issue, then that means Chrome users that use ad blockers don’t have to deal with the delay and therefore their claim that they aren’t punishing FF users his utter horse shit.
Is it a Rick Roll if you expect it?
