On the internet anyone and everyone is always right.

I’ve used offline browsing before, it definitely used to be a feature they offered.

Just double checked this. Currently I am paying for a family plan which gives me 5 users and it costs $18.99 CAD. The family plan with 5 users is $22.99

I believe this recently increased because I kinda ticked off when they launched Stadia and sent all the YT premium customers free Stadias that came with Chromecast Ultras and I recall feeling like an idiot for not having the right plan and Google not being willing to switch me over and give me the free hardware.

What perks? I don’t understand what benefit exists other than blocking ads they no longer allow me to block.

I was also a GPM user though I will admit everything I used has finally made its way to YTM. So I can’t complain about this anymore and it still a superior offering to the yo-ho alternatives.

The price is not the issue. $3/month is incredibly reasonable, especially given how much I use YouTube. The issue is how they are bullying people into paying it, at that point it doesn’t matter how good the deal was.

$3/month really means nothing to me, considering I already $18.99/month for a YouTube music family plan.

My issue is them purposely attempting to make my experience worse and then selling what they have arbitrarily taken away back to me.

If you product is so valuable the only way a conpany can sell it is to attack your user’s experience so you pay them to stop it really starts drawing too many similarities to a mob protection racket.

EDIT: In order to be fully transparent, apparently inflation made a fool of me, the YouTube premium family plan has increased to $22.99/month so the difference would be $4 per month, not $3.

But he got upvotes on the internet, clearly he is right.

Humans are fucking doomed.

Confusing people agreeing with you and being right is how your shitty country wound up with people like Marjorie Taylor Space Laser as an elected official.

Normal civilized armies have rules of engagement.

Like if the US claims you have nuclear weapons and the UN says you have no evidence your war is illegal, you do it anyways. Murika Fuk Yah!

That whole war was a glorified terrorist attack in my eyes.

He makes several good points and your basically just vomitting buzzwords and copypasta.

If you read the article they blamed this attack on the excessive amount of money the US spends arming foreign countries to protect their interests.

I don’t normally believe this kind of propaganda and ultimately the US didn’t pull the trigger, they just wrote the check that facilatated the purchase of the weapons. Kind of a guns don’t kill people the people who buy guns for other people kill people type argument.

Any phrase, request or threat in the from of “do X or be subject to the rules” is inherently flawed.

Why not skip the asking part and go straight to the enforcing the rules part because they’re, you know; the fucking rules.

I generally don’t like the CBC, but I personally find their international political reporting top tier due to this kind of approach.

I’ll take standing under a mission accomplished banner on an aircraft carrier for $200.

Not having any chat features was the absolute best part of Reddit is Fun.

Just because the characters thought it was a map to Thrawn they were looking for and it actually being a map to where Thrawn was doesn’t mean that it was created with that intended purpose.

It seemed pretty heavily implied that Lady Morgan had supposed what happens to Thrawn and knew of the existence of this device that would let her travel to where she believed Thrawn was.

Disney has taken a lot of creative license with Star Wars cannon, and has been very unapologetic about it. At first I thought this was another example of fuck the story we want to sell toys, the surprise tie in to the final scene of Rebels was well done and gave me some serious nostalgia vibes.
