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.

    That most people are much dumber than they initially appear to be. “Average intelligence” isn’t enough to form a basic understanding of the world.

      I think a lot of that stems from most peoples’ lack of innate curiosity about the world. I used to think most people wanted to know how things work so they have a stronger understanding of the world. Now? No so much.

          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.
