Yes I know I’m saying polite words in an extremely unpleasant tone. No, I can’t control it right now, or rather I’m controlling it as much as I can. Yes, I know you don’t believe me because it’s not that way for you. Yes this sucks.
People straight up don’t believe that tone can be anything but a deliberate decision, so they interpret any unpleasant tone as an insult. It sucks so much.
Exactly. It’s gotta be a variant of “these edibles ain’t shit” or “these edibles are weak as fuck”. Then you have to stand up 30 minutes later and BAM!
This constant harassment should be illegal. They should not be able to prompt you every single time you use a service. There needs to be a “NO” option. Not “no thank you”, not “maybe later”, “NO!”.
I agree … but if you are standing in their store and they blast you with their advertising over and over again … they more or less can do whatever they want.
You have to step out of their space.
Use Firefox and stay away from Chrome.
Chrome is owned by Google … YouTube is owned by Google … so going onto their website using their web browser is like walking into their store using their limo. Since you are on their property and in their vehicle … they have all the ability to push whatever they want onto to you. You have no choice. You can’t walk into a Gap store and ask not see any Gap advertisements.
If you can visit their store using a different store front and a different vehicle … you at least have some options and ability to turn off features that you don’t want to see. At least you have a choice.
I’m on Linux with Firefox with uBlock Origin and I never see ads on Youtube
Unfortunately a lot of these services are becoming more akin to a utility than a clothing store though. You need them in some capacity to function in a modern life, and there are no alternatives, or every alternative engages in the same harassment.
mid-30s in the 15th century? … isn’t that the equivalent of saying mid 70s in the 2020s?
mid-30s in the 15th century meant that you were basically almost dead with some sort of physical health problem, you got a scratch and died of infection or you just starved to death from malnutrition.
I’ve been listening to music from the 60s almost exclusively on spotify this year. The algorithm is hell bent on me listening to the band “The Smoke”. I really don’t think a one hit wonder band that broke up in 1976 would be paying to have their music pushed so hard like that.
The shuffle button does it’s thing every time you activate it. I believe, anecdotally, that it uses whatever song is playing or selected as a seed to build the random queue.
Try this, select a song and press Shuffle. When it gets to a song you don’t want to hear, skip to a song you want to hear and toggle Shuffle off and on.
I’m on android. I just confirmed you can’t do it with an album but instead with playlists. Add a song to a playlist, hit shuffle, then hit shuffle again and a little star should appear in the shuffle icon.
Only works on self created Playlists, not on playlists created from spotify like “Discover weekly”. The first time, you get a little popup which explains it.
I always find it hilarious when certain lines in media break into the zeitgeist. There’s tons that come and go but some just last forever. I still hear “Bye, Felicia” all the time. Also, anytime the name “Jeff” is mentioned.
I was took my friends to see this for my 11th birthday (I had already seen it, thought it was the best thing ever) and all three of them fell asleep before the end. Today I have no friends.
Rising from my nightmares, i see that scene. Blinding, searing reality cuts through my consious thoughts; it had always been there; waiting for a spark. A fungal web of neuronal links itching to infect and consume. Unavoidable and inevitable.
And as i fall from blissful ignorance once more; a whisper “why?”
