Is your shirt tucked in? I never really thought about it before but someone this winter mentioned tucking your shirt in to help keep warm, and it really does help out there.

I think I saw that same thread, dear lord it's incredible how the mind can be corrupted by capitalism.
Same, they must not have rolled it out to everyone, I have firefox/ublock origin on PC and android and have yet to see an ad on youtube, and the quality and speed of loading seem to be fine.
I doubt they would ever do this, but I wonder if they have some metric about the user's likeliness of clicking ads, and prevent more 'advertisable' users from blocking the ads but let some keep blocking them because it wouldn't make as much of a difference, or they would just leave youtube. If my adblock stopped working I would stop using youtube, without a doubt. I am allergic to ads.
Why? Being an 'American' automatically makes their critique irrelevant? Or is every Marxist state completely above critique? I am not the type of American that shuns AES states like many 'left' in the US but I don't think any group or state is magically above judgement. In my view, this type of dogmatism and 'imperialist' labeling only helps shun potential comrades that could be brought further into the fold.
Why tf should a kid want to work? Why would you want a society to normalize a 14-year-old hustling and working after school? It's not authoritarian to protect children from parasitic businesses. Child-labor is illegal because at that stage a person has less emotional intelligence and rationality, they can more easily be taken advantage of and overworked, and won't understand their rights as a worker as well. You can't even sign a contract at 14 without a parent or guardian and you want them to be able to act at the whim of fast food managers?
Your argument is hardly one step away from the argument I see people trot out when defending child marriage.
Well we don't have all the facts alright, plenty of stories of unmarked graves have had positive endings! I'll hold my judgement, I'm sure police had a perfectly good reason for this:
The revelation began with Dexter Wade's death in March 2023, in which a police officer fatally hit him. Shockingly, his family was not informed of his death, and he was buried without their knowledge.
Some fucking leftists, some celebate leftists, all sorts :D

Stainless steel can be woven into a net that would break the fall, I don't know if that's how it works but it would be possible.
I just read a guardian article about it, it's actually kind of fucked up:
The nets are meant to deter people from jumping and to curb the death rate of those who still attempt to jump, though they will likely be badly injured.
“It’s stainless-steel wire rope netting, so it’s like jumping into a cheese grater,” Dennis Mulligan, the general manager of the bridge district, told the Associated Press. “It’s not soft. It’s not rubber. It doesn’t stretch. We want folks to know that if you come here, it will hurt if you jump.”
Notice it says CURB the death rate, which sounds like they anticipate some people will still die? Jesus ffs.
I read wikipedia and watched a video about the decks of aircraft carriers to answer this (probably joke) question legitimately. I think the closest answer I could derive was they don't get potholes, and I can't find any record of any being damaged in a way that would prevent launching. Interestingly though they already have holes covering the entire deck, for tying down vehicles and helping with washing the deck.
I only researched modern carriers though, they have been around since 1910, they probably got more potholes back then
