All code should be written in Esperanto, the international auxillary language!
If it came down to it, I would take an extension to turn the video black, mute it, and click the skip button for me. Better than having to pull my attention away from what I’m doing to click the skip button or else have an ad that legitimately can play for hours on end. Having the pauses would be annoying but less so than the ad.
PelicanPersuader@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In your opinion, what's the age limit for Trick r Treating?English15·2 years agoThe older you are, the more effort I expect. A kid can get away with a cape and a mask. If an older teen comes, I expect full costume, not everyday clothes. Adult? You better be rocking a great cosplay. Not that I’d refuse anyone, but I’ll be happiest giving treats to young children or people showing off really amazing effort in the costume department.

PelicanPersuader@beehaw.orgto Memes@lemmy.ml•An industry shouldn't have multiple human rights watch reports about working conditionsEnglish5·2 years agoNo. Having inhumane conditions for the workers is cruelty.
PelicanPersuader@beehaw.orgto Memes@lemmy.ml•An industry shouldn't have multiple human rights watch reports about working conditionsEnglish92·2 years agoPeople in the comments missing the point completely. The solution to animal cruelty is not human cruelty.
Yes, eating animals is cruel to animals, but meat eating isn’t going away, and being cruel to the people who work in those places isn’t going to stop the industry. It’s just going to physically and mentally harm a lot of underpaid, overworked, poor, immigrant people. People who don’t have healthcare for the injuries they incur working in hazardous places, for corporations who see them as just replaceable parts of a machine. Being harmed working in these plants isn’t going to result in fewer animals dying or better conditions for the animals we kill. It’s just more senseless harm.

It would be great if our public transit system in the US was funded enough to actually be useful for more than just occasional, highly specific trips.
PelicanPersuader@beehaw.orgOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Will the filtering of "advertiser unfriendly" language have larger societal implications?English5·2 years agoIt freaks me out. I hate how they’re making it so we’re pretty much dependent on these corporate-run networks, which then in turn make it so you can’t discuss topics that advertisers dislike, and then you have nowhere else to go to talk about those topics online. Inevitably, minority groups are the first to lose out. There was an absolutely chilling article posted a little while back about a leaked plan from a US conservative group to make is so allowing any discussion of LGBTQIA stuff online would be considered pornographic and disallowed. There are very dangerous people who want to control what we’re allowed to say in online spaces and they are scary smart in how they’re trying to go about it.
Does that make it the shittiest, or the least shitty?

PelicanPersuader@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If you were to run for higher office in your country, what controversial thing would the vetting process uncover about you?English1·2 years agoAnd I crossdress (might boost me with socdems but halt momentum with undecideds and old people.)
Depends how sexy your crossdressing is… 🤔
PelicanPersuader@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Hi, I'm your 10yo self. Is there something you wanna tell me/warn me about?1·2 years agoIt gets better. Seriously. You will find your people and be happy. It’s just gonna take about seven or eight more years. I promise, life is worth living and you’re gonna do great.

Hard disagree on body wash vs soap. Soap always leaves a weird filmy feeling on my skin no matter what brand I use. Plus having to lather up the bar is annoying and I don’t want to deal with wet washcloths in the shower. Give me a poof and a bottle of body wash any day.
