I too would like this feature but I don’t want to block those user’s comments on other communities.

Does this setting only block the instance’s posts from showing on All, or does it block everything from that instance, similar to defederating?

"Put yourself under the command of the United States, if it is still there"

JFC nuclear weapons are horrifying

Dr. Zoidberg also has mail order degrees in murderology and murderonomy

Buddhists don’t also wear tottenkopf (death’s head) on their shirts. These are Nazis. If their flag is misprinted then they are stupid Nazis

I think I read once that was due to outdated standards related to low resolution television sets. If too much text was on screen at once you couldn’t make it out on a standard definition TV. They kept doing it that way for a while after HD became ubiquitous just because that’s how they always did it.

I share your frustration though

They rage in favor of the machine Rage Against the Machine rages against

In Montana, I believe, write-ins for president are always invalid

Whoops I thought that was Veronica. I guess it has been too long since I played

Right? Also, isn’t she gay? I love Veronica too, but I don’t think she’d want to have my babies

They did have Rush Limbaugh crowing about smoking bans, but the lung cancer that eventually killed him makes it harder to take his advice

One of our two parties wins more when more people vote.

Therefore, the other party must oppose voting by the largest groups, such as young people and people who live in cities.

The less popular party also has disproportionate control of government policy.

Which is to say, they oppose democracy itself. It is only a question of degree

For YouTube content I really like the Tubular app on Android. It has Sponsorblock built-in, which you mentioned, but it also has an option to skip silence.

I find it particularly nice for gaming content, or any point where the YouTuber is reading text aloud.

I must have skipped hundreds of hours of pointless silence by this point

I saw a comic about this once (xkcd, probably?) and going by the scene in the movie, where Legolas has human sized eyes, they deduced that Middle Earth must have an exotic atmosphere

Mainly because if your ears get hot any sweat can cause the earbuds to fall out. They at least don’t fall on the floor (just into the headphone can) but it’s not as nice as having regular wireless headphones.

Pro-tip: if you plan to use them for more that about 3 hours at a time, get a second pair of earbuds. That way when the first one’s battery dies you can just swap them out while it recharges

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money and are willing to put up with jank you can do what I do: get a pair of hearing protection headphones from the hardware store.

Just regular noise isolating cans for like mowing lawns or shooting guns. You can find a decent pair for less than $35. Look for a high NRR value (Noise Reduction Rating).

Then just wear earbuds underneath them. I use Samsung Galaxy Buds, but any wireless earbuds will do.

It’s a bit janky but it didn’t cost me $200

Lmao one of my friends had just gotten a DVD player in his room around when that movie came out. His mom walked in the room when he was watching it, right at that scene, late on a school night. He scrambled to turn off the TV, but that made her think it was porn… Barbie doll/action figure porn.

She just slowly backed out of the room and wouldn’t let him explain

You discover crypto & the promise of a currency free of these backroom figures that syphon off money. A promise of redistribution to the common man.

you listen to the pitch of a conman

Pistol Whip has an auto aim mechanic. You can disable it in the challenge settings and see how impractical it actually is to dual wield handguns

Does it not make tons of noise?

We have an ice machine in the freezer and often it is the loudest thing in the entire house. I also have a mini fridge in the office and the compressor on it runs every few minutes. It would be awful to try to sleep in there

The title for the sequel could be some kind of pun on how the film is faster and/or more furious than what would be reasonable under normal circumstances
