When I got LASIK I wasn’t allowed to wear contacts for a few weeks before the surgery. I bought the cheapest pair of glasses from Zenni. I had new glasses for $17 + $10 shipping.

If I had to do it again I would have my IPD measured by a proper optometrist first. I just guessed at it and got ones a little too small, so they had a kind of fisheye effect.

Still, for <$30 it was a great bargain

I’d take it one step further; Feminist Appropriating Radical Transphobe

YouTube does this on paid content. I bought It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia but it has ads for other FX shows (Mayans, Cake, Sons of Anarchy) baked in to the first 30 seconds and last 60 seconds of some episodes.

It also has a teaser that is the last item in each season’s playlist, which is an ad for the season you just watched :/

Also, Mussolini didn’t make the trains run on time. He forbade the press from reporting the trains running late

“an sequel”? Tell me I haven’t been saying it wrong this whole time 💀

Yes. You might not be able to “open with”, but you can put them into a directory then import that directory as a podcast. Add a podcast -> Add local folder

I’ve found using a podcast player to listen to that sort of thing can be helpful for its trim silence feature. Removing all the pauses can greatly speed up the playback without making it sound rushed. I use AntennaPod for this

I was going to disagree with you by using AI to generate my response, but the generated response was easily recognizable as non-human. You may be onto something lol

God bless America

Don’t have to wait in line if you can’t afford to go in the first place

Taps head

Suppose you were saying that about me. How would I prove you wrong? How could a thinking being express that it is actually sentient to meet your standards?

We’ve had 46 presidents and 91 total indictments. 91 ÷ 46 ≈ 2

The mean average is 2 charges.

It’s a joke because all of the indictments are for Trump himself

lol get rekt traitor

This is a good point. We need the message sent to be that nobody is above the law.

It matters that he committed crimes, no matter how wealthy he is or who he knows. He should be treated like any other leader of a criminal organization.

Making it too much of a spectacle would feed into conspiracy theories about political motivation

I believe his current number of felonies (at time of writing) is actually 91

I certainly love it! It’s one of the first things I install

Hosting video content must be insanely expensive so I have some amount of sympathy for YouTube. However, ads earn such a paltry amount that I can hardly fathom how anyone can put up with it.

The total amount of ad revenue between all sites is only like $12 per user per year. So IMO it is a net benefit to block all ads (save your sanity!) and simply pay the creators of content you like.

Even just one $5 Patreon sub is worth more than all ads I’m likely to see so I block everything I can and IMO my conscience is clear
