nepenthes, 8 days ago (edited 7 days ago) to canucks in Poke Check

I recall watching a few games at 4am when I lived in the UK. It was hard to know whether to stay up or sleep and set an alarm…

Šilovs won the mad dash to the puck, [btw]https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/04346a7d-1858-47a5-a7ed-18c3f19c236f.jpeg

Edit: I <3 Šilovs and his ballsy plays. I just panicked when I saw him booking it up the ice and felt like Moss.

But for people using YouTube to follow textile patterns, photoshop tutorials, repairs, etc. needing to pause frequently while still seeing the full screen is a big deal 😬

I use Ublock Origin and Firefox/DDG’s “view here”, so I think I’m safe…

Edit: Also, Google is greedy af, so it’s def cumulative with existing ads; the article doesn’t say otherwise.

My understanding is that they aren’t enforceable. Also, Ontario has a ban since 2021.

It was June last year, and I was high, so I just know it was instrumental from this channel’s playlist, sorry: (I think the twitch account is defunct now.)

I’ll have a look at your link/list, thanks :) FF clears everything when I close it (intentional) and I have YouTube history off. I really don’t know how I lost my bookmarks, haha.

Only one of those is physically addictive, and the withdrawal can kill ya.

It’s gotten a lot better with teeth. Last I looked at that site they were very misaligned. It was very Uncanny Valley.

Edit: ok, this one’s a bit whack: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b48446c9-bffc-4d53-a180-dec274f1a64d.jpeg

Image: Close up of a man’s mouth. The teeth look 2D, and continue endlessly in a straight row behind his lips; there is too little curvature to indicate they are connected to a jawbone.

Sell? I remember it as how to tell if someone fancied you :)

Do kids these days just make playlists and send links?!

From the BBC (2016):

The OJ Simpson murder case carried serious implications for a number of major issues: race relations, police treatment of African-Americans, domestic violence, and the effects of money on the justice system.

I’m a woman and I don’t have any social media. I just don’t see the value in it when the cost is tracking and ads.

Honestly, it’s not great to assume that someone is “arrogant and judgmental” because they don’t fit in your boxes :|
