  So that’s where Andrew Tate went to after his release.

  I have a simple trick how to distinguish both:

  Figurative means Figurative. Literally means literally.

  You’re welcome.

  as long as it’s not your salary that gets ad-blocked.

  So you neither pay with money nor by watching ads for a very expensive to maintain service, but you won’t leave it be either.

  I know I’m making myself Unpopular here, but what is it that you’re bringing to the table? Currently you cost YouTube money because streaming video is really expensive. You block out all the ads so every creator is cut off monetization too. This is not a publicly funded library (yet).

  When you say that it sounds like a bad thing. I’m hopping from service to service too.

  I don’t get why people think they can have 15 streaming services for the price of one, and get served the $100 million movie of the day.

  And the icing on the cake is that many use this as an excuse to pirate that stuff as if they were entitled to being entertained.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why craft breweries are under threat as closures leap 49%⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Expensive beer with often questionable taste.

  Some craft beers taste like a competition for the most bitter sparkly urine-like beverage priced at Champagne level. It’s an expendable niche luxury product and money is tight these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deliver Us Mars: Ultimately just not enjoyable⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I died three times in a row directly before reaching the first shelter and Alt-F4’ed out.

  Until then the game just couldn’t pull me in. The dialogue and characters were just bland, foreseeable, two-dimensional.

  Some of the puzzles are fun though and the tutorials are disguised well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It hasn't delivered': The spectacular failure of self-checkout technology⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Self-checkout and self-scanning are great when done right.

  I only need to pack my groceries into my shopping crate once with the hand scanner. Or when buying only a few items, I skip the lines and scan them myself, pay with my phone, done.
