I was about to say. I haven't seen a YouTube ad in a decade between uBlock and Vanced. The updates are immediate.

Only thing is he is very aware of this and has since stopped posting content like that, nearly a decade ago, and has removed any of it from his channel, and never talks about it.

He went overboard, seemingly realized his screw up, and stopped with the gun crap. I wouldn't be following him if he was still posting the gun stuff, but that was even before I found him in 2017.

Unlike a lot of those kind of gun people, he at least seems self aware. Again, this is only since I've started watching his content in 2017. No idea how had it was prior to that.

I thought VR would be more widespread by now.

And it's probably because of the two next things I thought as well.

I thought it would be cheaper and easier to do by now. More like a Google Glass kind of thing. But we're still playing 4 figures for dedicated massive headsets to strap to our heads. No wonder it didn't take off.

And I mean dedicated like the HTC Vive. Not the Quest.

I don't often notice my typos,

But when do, it's after a day and a ton of interaction with said comment.

And on that note, the Commodore X16 from The 8 Bit Guy is built from the ashes of what would have been a C64 successor, post 128. Documentation available is extensive. Of course, it doesn't ship with a spiral bound manual, so I guess it doesn't even apply, but, ya know. It's a cool little thing to tinker with.

My girlfriend let me take over our whole dining room table with my childhood Lionel trains. Things are good right now.

This is just modern, right? I'd imagine there are years like 1965 and 1986 or so that have this beat. They sold over 1 million Chevy Impalas alone in 1965.

*Ah, okay, my bad, I didn't mean to upset anyone lmao

My girlfriend and I managed to get it to a 3 week rotation. Turns out living in a city is exhausting, so we try to go out as little as possible.

Whereas my mom will go out every day to buy groceries to make dinner that night. That may be the difference between being bored and retired and being, whatever tf I am.

I did my part by spoofing their API and using RIF right up until I got banned for saying nazis deserve to be dead.

Hit too close to home for the admins with that one.

Sure, but if they're boomers and still couldn't make it, I'm not sure what the issue was. The generation that took everything and then pulled the ladder up behind them should be stable in the modern day.

I'm really not trying to be an asshole here, but my experience with this is my girlfriend's dad. A boomer who lives in his car. He lost his six figure job in the late 90s and then did nothing. He made no effort. He was a horrible father. My girlfriend's mother died and he STILL never picked his life back up. And now he's just become a nuisance in our lives. I have absolutely no sympathy for people like that.

Whereas my parents, also boomers of the same age, are retired and looking at finding their final home. All you had to do was keep doing what you're doing.

Whereas us, now, that's not good enough, anymore.

It is very hard for me for feel sympathy for the generation that got everything, when my friends and I are struggling to exist, and with decent jobs.

Yep, that's also one of the reasons I came here. This feels like old reddit. I like the plethora of apps that are fully customizable, also like the old days of reddit. It really was a great time until it wasn't. This community is much more open. Transparency here is a wonderful thing, something that reddit lost a long time ago.

I can help you spoof the API and get your favorite third party app going again, if you really want. I was using RIF up until a few weeks ago. Still works too, I just got banned and decided it wasn't worth it to start over.
