If the other kid had been armed this terrible thing couldn’t have happened! Arm the kids! /s

In theory, mint is great. But poor practice has me avoid it unless I prepare something with it myself.

It’s the passive-aggressiveness of the tweet. Being bitter and sarcastic won’t make anyone’s day better either.

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).

This Tweet (and all of its derivatives) is exactly the same level of not helpful.

Why is it “hardly an answer”?

Getting everything you want at any time is part of the reason why the planet’s dying. Consumerism is not sustainable. Just one example: one wants a coffee and isn’t at home. Solution today: get a single-use plasticcy paper cup of coffee with an optional packaged portion of sweetener and / or cream, a plastic stirring thingy, and a plastic lid. All that goes to waste because people were led to believe that a “paper” cup is good for the environment. It isn’t.

Sorry, it’s aggravating to see people complain about bottle lids and not seeing what the bigger problem behind is.

We created this mess and now the least bad thing in this literal pile of garbage gets labelled ‘mildly infuriating’.

You’re coming up with a sarcastic exaggeration (barrels and glasses), followed by “serious question”. So which is it now?

Anyway. How about refillable cups, travel mugs, returnable bottles? Stop buying bottled water if your tap water is fine. Get a soda maker if you like sparkling water or Spritzer. Clean up after yourselves, return or throw away bottles with the lid on.

And first and foremost: stop buying packaged and bottled sh*t at every possible occasion. Things like single-use / to-go cups or bottles shouldn’t even exist.

We all created the landfills and ocean garbage patches and now we complain about our own stupidity, unable to drink from a bottle with a lid attached to it like we’re toddlers.

If you seriously ask me for an alternative: stop creating waste. Stop complaining about your waste. And stop complaining about regulations that try to limit waste that shouldn’t even be there. Big part of the problem stems from our own laziness and consumerism. Everyone is part of the problem, nobody wants to be a part of the solution. What did you even expect?

If everyone had either stopped buying bottled beverages or cleaned up after themselves, this wouldn’t be an issue.

Also, y’all sound a little whiny. This isn’t even a first world problem.

Ah I missed the age gap.

Would this guy qualify as an OUTER JOIN? (Sorry, SQL is not my native language)

Guy with a belly asks for girl with a small waist. The half-assed ugly shirt will do it.

Instant woman repellant.

You *have * to try Blood and Wine. Simply put, it makes up for everything before it. The bright, warm, Southern France -inspired map, great quests, and finally a homestead.

Try Witcher with some QoL mods, like easier fast travel, auto harvesting, auto-applying of oils. Everything that lets you play the game instead of plucking flowers all day.

I’m not a mindless consumer (aka sheeple) for making a decision someone else doesn’t approve of.

The alternatives to YouTube Premium are

• Ads: won’t happen

• Ad-Block: won’t work (anymore)

• no YouTube: there are no great free or cheaper alternatives

It’s a service / product I value at a certain amount. That sounds like a bad thing?

That’s the point. You cost them money, because streaming is really expensive and skipping or blocking ads doesn’t make money.

The moment I was presented with an ad-blocker notification by YouTube, I subscribed to Premium. I won’t watch ads. If it gets too expensive I’ll quit.
