  • Honestly, Google did this to themselves with not properly vetting the advertisers that they sell space to, and with oversaturation of ads.

    If they’d have stopped granting ad space to scammers and malware spreaders, and if they’d have stopped adding advertisements at the line most people find tolerable (which seems to be a single ad between videos… not multiple at a time, and certainly no mid-rolls), they wouldn’t have triggered quite the level of ad blocking that they did.

    I see this “problem” that they have as being entirely of their own making.




  • Their No. 1 problem with it is how difficult it is to observe and monitor employees

    Um, no. Like others here have pointed out, the overwhelming majority of office workers have to turn in countable digital product of some sort for their job production. LOOK AT IT. Was it the quantity and quality required of them? Well, there you go.

    Also, what the hell are you on about, hypothetical boss? In today’s technical age, so many bosses can just remote view a worker’s screens (even when the workers don’t know that it’s happening in real time).

    It’s creepy to spy, but if you really suspect someone’s away from keyboard extendedly when they aren’t supposed to be, you can literally just look in.

    “I can’t monitor my employees” is such a weird complaint when counting is a thing and tech tools are out there designed to let you overview your workforce.









  • You can’t really describe colors to someone blind from birth. They just have no reference or mechanical ability to be able to see it.

    Someone below linked a Tommy Edison video (it’s a good watch, as is pretty much everything on his entire channel) where he talks about how people have tried to describe color to him all his life, but nothing they’ve said has ever actually made him see a color. He doesn’t see anything, he doesn’t have a working optic nerve.





  • If nothing else… $$$.

    People can get a well-working, basic washlet / bidet to install under their toilet seat for as little as $20 - $30 USD on Amazon. It reduces your TP usage so much that it will pay for itself within a year at most… likely faster.

    I used to go through several rolls a week (I felt like I was personally killing a rainforest, but I can’t stand not being clean). After installing my first bidet a few weeks back, I now only use a little to dry, and to double-check that I didn’t miss anything. I’d estimate that it reduced my TP usage by probably 80 to 90%.

    That’s going to be a not insignificant chunk of change saved over the years.
