No, this was not a baked in ad by the podcast hoster but literally inserted by Spotify.

Just FYI, those two things don't need to be exclusive. In this case Spotify is probably the one sponsoring the podcast, and so they inserted ads themselves, as opposed to the content creators including their sponsor ads. Many more successful podcasts are doing this now, and it seems like the ads get shoved in when there sometimes aren't even breaks.

Not saying it doesn't suck, it absolutely does. Just pointing out that it's a new trend. So it'll probably get worse!

Because the people at the top who greenlight everything are rich and think anyone that would live with their family past the age of 18 is a lazy shit stain. That's the answer. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make a shred of sense, it's just the truth.

I haven't commented anywhere in this thread, so I'm being objective. Look at it this way - I'm an American and our government is speed running towards facism and very much may re-elect a convicted felon who was caught stealing classified documents and sending them to our enemies. Similar to your problem, that is very much our problem, and the only real way to undo it is for other nations like yours to make us fuck off and deal with it.

That's what people are getting at. It sucks for the people like you, like me, that are powerless in this situation, but from a macro level, it's what needs to happen. Everyone sympathizes with you, the person, but very few sympathize with the country as a whole, as it's viewed as self inflicted. Try not to take it personally, and recognize that it's not coming from a place of racism, but objective rationality.

FYI if you, like me, did not realize the third book was out, it is! I just bought it, gonna start it tonight

It owns. Haven't read the third one yet. Not even sure if it's out but if it is it's next on the list.

Children of Time is nearly exactly what you're looking for. The whole series doesn't follow nicely with what you're looking for but the focus remains on that aspect of things for lack of wanting to spoil anything. If nothing else read the first book, it's exceptional.

Okay seriously what the fuck are even you thinking bro? How can you live like this?

...you gotta put a rug or something under those casters or you're gonna slide down the block every time you try to sit down.

Every time I hear my voice it sounds like I just huffed a liter of helium. Apparently my wife doesn't mind but damn man. My shit is ANNOYING

I haven't had a desire or need to upgrade my phone in like 3 years now. Only reason I upgraded that one was because it wasn't 5G and I live an area where 5G actually works and is fast.

God dammit, I paid for mine! I assume I can itemize it on my taxes and claim the Fleetwood Deduction?

Is it hard being as stupid as you are? Like, I mean, does it hurt? Cause it hurts the rest of us, let me tell ya.

I paid for Textra over a decade ago, and it's easily the best money I've ever spent. It's the best texting app I've ever used and I highly recommend everyone check it out. They still churn out updates regularly and the features are above and beyond most messaging apps.
