I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.

      Definitely not. I don’t post low effort snide comments as a reply and think that I’m witty.

      I’m a fucking ignorant moron on the vast majority of topics.

      A dumb person will happily talk about everything as if they understand it. A smart person will shut about the things they don’t understand and be open to being educated.

        One time I tried pump my fuel and it kept stopping right away. I moved pumps and the same thing. I was looking down the hole to see if anything was blocking it, I went inside to inform the attendant their pumps might be malfunctioning. Then I realized, the night prior I had already filled up. I’m a dumbass.

        To my credit, however; it is my routine to fill up every morning (I drive courier) A night fill up was off routine. Still a dumbass.

          I thought the ac was broken in my work truck for several days in July because I forgot I had turned the heat on one chilly morning and for some reason my eyes repeatedly didn’t catch that dumb temperature dial still turned to heat. I kept pushing the ac button on and off and then just ended up sweltering because I basically had the heat on in July.

          That dumbassery will humble me for a while.
