This is crazy to learn about. Afaik no Americans in the UK have ever had issues opening bank accounts, even students.

The US, North Korea and
Gotta love how these two countries are suddenly being used in the same sentence all the time lol

Ah, there’s the solution.
Stop doing business with the US.

It’s peak regime indoctrination in action.

Wish the American populace were brave enough to dump their tea in the harbor like before

When was the last time you talked to a boomer?
Anyone a year older than a zoomer to them is a boomer lmfao

That’s the spirit!
Meanwhile everyone keeps donating to Youtube Premium and then complaining about it lol

Honestly debatable. I’ve seen more and more good channels depart or stop posting, or others gradually turn into “react” content channels that only discuss tiktok drama or politics. Even so-called Breadtube for smaller channels has become synonymous with that embedded stereotype.
I compared a screenshot I took of my subscriptions feed from a year ago to now and was startled by the amount of change in incendiary content. It’s like the definition of doomscrolling.
I used to spend over 4 hours a day on youtube just watching video essays and skit comedy, but now I split most of that time across writing, itch.io, and catching up on anime. I have so much more free time I finally decided to start One Piece lmao (might try finishing Bleach too)

My issue with those sites is that since they’re not direct mirrors, they don’t have a dedicated archive. And since archive.org has stopped saving youtube videos, that could lead to a lot of lost media. It’s a cultural cornerstone that’s been around for nearly two decades. If I can’t access 15 year old YGOTAS videos then it’s just not a viable replacement to me lol

Nah, take a look at the stats of the number of people who tried out an adblocker for the first time when Youtube attempted to ban them several months back. Streisand Effect in action.

Exactly, people used to love ads. They would sit down and watch hour long compilation videos of the funniest and weirdest ones. People would get hyped for shit like Old Spice and Skittles and never skip it. Even the Superbowl was less entertaining than the ads it had and that was a mainstream opinion.
It’s the exact same as the boomers who keep crowing “Why doesn’t anyone wanna work?!” but now it’s “Why doesn’t anyone want ads?!” lmao

That’s why they invented adblock lol

Yeah you’re literally part of the problem lol
You’re actively funding enshittification, at least the rest of us are innocent

The ironic part is that there was a time where I’d watch hours long compilation videos of funny ads, and even now I watch 90s nostalgia ones set to vaporwave mixes. Hell, every person and their grandmother I knew at one time watched the Superbowl “just for the ads”.
At some point, the goal of marketing shifted from “How do we keep your attention/whimsy” to “How can we force unwilling participants to comply?” Fuck that fascismo shit.

Let this be a lesson to always pirate, even before the streaming services enshittify. You’re only hurting yourself if you don’t.
Support the original studios by purchasing merch, not the media conglomerates.

Same for chocolate.
Incorporating actual cocoa-dense dark chocolate into a regular part of my diet has been an absolute game changer. I have so much more energy and focus than I used to, I’m practically a morning person now lol

Its a shame people won’t vote with their wallets.
I’ve been truly stunned these past several days to find out just how many people, not even crazy facebook people but just average users on Lemmy, pay for a ChatGPT subscription.
They just don’t care.

The UK has had “Big Brother” since before you could still run straight through a pre-9/11 US airport terminal and tearfully declare your love to your childhood sweetheart before they boarded that plane.
All things considered, life isn’t that scary here.
