  • I was born with a deviated septum and, despite at least two surgeries attempting to repair this, have never recovered. I have almost no sense of smell.

    For any food which has toppings durable enough to endure, I eat it upside down. Pizza and cake are prime examples. Why would you ever want the actual flavor hidden behind a thick layer of, in various forms, bread? The bread is the transportation medium, not the food. Don’t get me wrong, I love bread and carbs, but they’re not the appeal of most dishes.














  • Not only is this true and annoying, but other things about the ads are getting worse, too.

    I recently had to factory reset my TV and, after the first time I opened the YouTube app, immediately had to find the “don’t play video preview” option. It worked, except for the huge banner ad at the top of the list of videos, which still saw fit to play with deafening sound when I didn’t immediately change the video selection. I can’t find a setting to disable this.

    Also, I’ve noticed the “fewer ads for this long video” message popping up during videos longer than thirty minutes (and now it seems like longer than twenty minutes). Not only is that message condescending like they’re doing me a favor, but I’m pretty sure it’s not true, at least not by much; and the ads are definitely longer and mostly unskippable.

    Like someone else says in this thread, it feels like extortion.
