Sometimes they're hyper-ventilating into a microphone, sometimes they're just staring right at me. They all speak VERY AUTHORITATIVELY. They all expect me to listen for like 7 or 10 minutes, like they're god's gift or something, when I got way better things to do. If they have a point, can't they just write it down, reasonably concisely, like a normal person? Or maybe it's a Firefox thing?

Hope you all are having a nice weekend.
Oh, it's simple. You sign up for YouTube ad free and you don't get those invasive white dude authoritarians trying to sell you stuff.

Easy. Or click the skip-ad link, if it permits you.

So if I sign up for YouTube, there's a button that lets me opt-out from man-splaining?

Sometimes it gets really annoying. Thanks dude.

I have never seen any such thing. What is busterbunker talking about?

'Course, people tell me there are advertisements on Twitter and Facebook, but I have no experience of that.

I do what it takes to get rid of the ads, then I forget about it.

Some days I feel dumber than others.

I assumed bunker was sarcastically referring to the videos of junior and the Faux News talking faces and pretty much any RWNJ politician that gets posted here.

OMG, yeah, that's what he was talking about, and I don't see how you can feel dumb when I'm the one who was too dumb to get it. :oldman:

It comes up for me. Not seeing any content in there that would cause it to blink out and go white. :shrug:

I don’t know what it was. I ended up cycling power to straighten it out.

$10.71/month, 0.0 ads that aren't in the videos (like Simon Whistler's, etc).

I couldn't use YouTube without it.

Desktop / notebook versions of browsers tend to have extension that filter ads well on Youtube. Android based Youtube is difficult cause Google owns both and prevent the extensions to get installed.

I hate to ask but can you reset my old Fogbow password one more time? Long story but password manager messed up. That's my story.

TIA.

Oops, temporarily deactivated it while I was checking all the styles to see what was up-to-date.

GraandNew is up-to-date. And reactivated. :bag:

Oh, thank you. My avatar matches GraandNew better than other styles. If it was gone, I might have had to go back to my old one.

I probably shouldn't have said that out loud.

Frater accused me of dressing like Squidney Powell last Tuesday on the Zoom conference because I was wearing a leopard spotted sweater.

I have as yet to devise the appropriate "discipline". He is, after all, my only human grandson.

Hello Foggy

I think it was the first time that I captured a WEBP formatted image, a format to replace PNG if the Google gods have their will.

phpBB did not allow me to upload this extension as a attachment.

Please investigate.

Since it your birthday, I don't expect anything to be done today, but when you have time (and energy) can we get the "Unread posts" back at the top and bottom of Hexagon Reborn?

:mad: I’m getting steamed. Why am I frequently bumped off and locked out? I’ll be doing my usual thing and suddenly I’m logged off and it takes about 15 mins before I can get back in.

Let's be fair here counselor...I said it looked like you had been shopping from the Squidney Powell collection....[available at a Dollar General near you!]...

Yeah, it's the robot ones you really need to keep an eye on for suspicion of mischief...[driving with a deployed air bag]....
