I figured I was misunderstanding some context. Thanks for clarifying.

This still seems to me to be a US-centric post, not something involving all Western democracies.

Sweden is a western democracy?

Sounds like that Swedish centrist union should pound sand

For the first 2 points: Don’t use “Western democracies”. This is a US problem. Canada has much stronger labour and home protections.

3rd point: Getting banned online is a “you” problem. Your government has nothing to do with why your shitty opinions get you banned or muted. The fact that you even have the ability to complain about your government online is a luxury many other governments don’t afford to their people.

4th point: Whining about cereal variety makes the entire argument hold less water. Who the fuck cares about brands of cereal. Buy your cereal or don’t, but shut the fuck up about it. This is an empty complaint about capitalism.

5th point: Fair enough.

I don’t directly mean you, OP. Unless you made the meme… In which case I do mean directly you.

Not much these days

Or YouTube vanced/revanced for mobile

Fair enough. Sorry it was harsh.

After reading your replies, I think my answer to your “how do you deal with loneliness?” is: you don’t. You don’t sound like you’re willing to do literally anything other than complain. You sound like you want a women to fuck you but don’t want to bring anything to the table. Not one ioda of effort spent on another living creature.

I think the people that met their partners playing video games have more to offer than just playing video games once they actually meet. They are probably nice people who make some amount of effort to be with someone.

My advice: find a sex worker, if scrounging up a few hundred dollars and driving isn’t too much effort for you.

Sorry if this is harsh, but Jesus Christ man, you have a pathetic mentality. Sometimes you have to do something else other than playing video games as a grown ass adult. Being lonely sucks, and I feel for your situation, but you gotta actually do something about it.

No kidding. I swear half the commenters from .ml are fighting over a single brain cell

I’ve noticed significant YouTube quality degradation when using Firefox, but no issues with Chrome.

Got a link for the extension by any chance?

Homophobia? Did we read the same comment?

I live in the PNW of Canada. It’s expensive, but I love it here and wouldn’t move unless I absolutely had to.

Unsure if AI image, or product of horrific work environment…

Username checks out.

As a certified electrician, this logic also works the other way. I wire things. I don’t know why your PC won’t boot. Yes your computer uses electricity, but this is not my professional forté.

My dad likes to tinker with stuff, and he’s a pretty mechanically inclined guy.

He pulled an old shitty lawnmower out of a scrap metal bin, and made a motorized bar stool. The bloody thing rips across his shop at like 20km/h!

I don’t know where I was going with that, but scrap metal bins are a gold mine for free shit to tinker with. Good luck brother

A heat gun to expand the metal and a rubber mallet or block of wood with a hammer to try and tap the handle would be my least destructive suggestion. You could try and use a pry bar, but you’ll run the risk of cracking a tile.

I think I’d give my former suggestion a solid shot before trying anything that could cause damage.

Sounds like things going right is karmic justice for doing your best to support the ones you care for. Good on you mate. Hope all is well.
