  It’s a specific company that creates a cookie consent manager that way, and a lot of websites use it. The progress bar is entirely faked; you’re being made to wait for nothing.

  I was able to bypass that by logging into YouTube without a phone number, and then going to Google accounts. Not sure if that still works.

  Star Trek 25th for me, still love it

  Unless you use mdiscs. Those still degrade, but it’ll take centuries.

  I use something like this for my wireless doorbell because people kept stealing the battery. I’ve had it for years and it works really well.

  They were not the first, either. But definitely the biggest in their day.

  Voting with your wallet doesn’t work. Nobody will call you to ask why you didn’t buy a product, and marketing will just come up with a bogus reason on why sales are poor.

  Talking about it on social media helps a lot more.

  If wilders is your source then it’s no wonder you’re so ill informed.

  What do you think happens in these cities after 7pm?

  All the Muslims come out and start plotting to take over?

  The Muslim Sharia police start their rounds?

  Or you get harassed by gangs of terrorists?

  Stop being stupid.

  If you’ve ever been to Marseille, Paris or Rotterdam, you’d know that is categorically incorrect.

  I personally live in an area with a higher Muslim population, but nobody here wants Sharia Law. Nor to take over any towns.

  You should be less gullible about places you’ve never been to, and things you know little about.

  Why do you not have laws against this kind of shit? There’s no way a company can do that to you here without explicit permission.

  My previous ISP once called me to tell me that i couldn’t reach the speed of my current plan from my house, and offered me to take a cheaper package without reducing my speed.

  My current ISP sent me a mail at the beginning of this year informing me they were quadrupling my speed at no extra charge. And they did, I went from 50 up/down to 200.
