  • Well guys I'm getting a new phone next year, and I decided I will go with Apple because compared to Google, and how it manipulates search results and spies on people, I think Apple is definitely the lesser of the two evils. Plus Apple's phones have better features anyway.
    Ok so I want to go back and forth between being the different Koopalings...I want to be Lemmy. I'm trying to choose an image for my new picture but when I click on "Choose File" nothing is happening. This is annoying me.
    Why does YouTube have such an excessive amount of ads now? Is it because they're losing money, or are they just greedy? I assume it's the latter. It's seriously extremely annoying. Like seriously they never had this many ads before. It seems really excessive to me. Whenever I watch a video, it seems like there's an ad every 30 seconds.

    Anyway, if anyone wants to explain why, like, please don't go into enormous technical detail; just let me know which one it is-greediness or losing money. Like, be general about it. Please. My brain can only handle so much information LOL.

    @Sweetie Belle It's crowdsourced, when you watch a YouTube video, it checks its database to see if anyone has made any submissions for the video you're currently watching. So like if you have SponsorBlock set to automatically skip sponsored segments and someone submitted the section from 2m30s to 4m05s in the video you're currently watching as being a sponsorship spot, it'll automatically skip that part.

    @ClawgripFan9001 I really do wonder if a lot of people hate Google because they're so greedy like this. They do a lot of other bad stuff too-spying on people, manipulating and misusing search results....they're kind of a scummy company in my opinion, from what I've heard. A lot of companies are but Google to me seems to be an especially bad case.
    I have Mcafee installed on my computer, but it's been doing something lately that is so evil. It's been sending me false scareware ads saying "Warning! Data breaches of your personal data have been detected on the dark web! Upgrade to Mcafee+ now!". There was even another one that said my data was being SOLD on the dark web and to upgrade Mcafee. This is false advertising! How is Mcafee getting away with this? It makes me so mad. I think this is wrong of them. Why are they using these scare tactics? I have no funds or money to speak of but one of them said my financial data had been breached and that's how I know this is all fake. I don't even have a bank account. These weren't pop up ads on the web either; they were from Mcafee on my computer.

    @FizzletheMovieTheatre LOL I can relate; I think I've seen that a couple of times myself. Then we had to renew it again. So annoying! 🤣

    The fact about paid antivirus these days is that it's not as necessary as it was, say, 10 years ago. We have more advanced security built right into our devices, and the antivirus companies know that. That's why they use obnoxious, misleading, and sometimes dishonest methods to try to convince people that their device is unsecure without paid antivirus so they'll keep their subscription.

    @Doctor Bowser Yeah screw that crap; that is so stupid. I'll talk to my dad to see if there's a better way to do this.
    Well I'm looking forward to summer; how about you guys? 😎☀️⛱️🏐
    Apparently late night construction has stopped so now I can sleep, although I also have earplugs to muffle it so I can't hear it if it happens again.
    I'm extremely tired because some construction was going on late last night in my neighborhood from 12 AM to dawn and so I lost a lot of sleep. Good thing I have earplugs so this won't happen again.
    Going to a dental appointment at 1:30. I'm sure it'll be fine; I've always had good teeth.

    Came back from my dental appointment. It went fine. I had no cavities, though I might need a root canal on my rear right molar. Other than that, nothing to worry about.
    I know it's really late, but when my birthday comes around this year (not saying when it is-too much personal information) I plan on getting a Switch 1 so I can play Miitopia and some other games. I plan to get the Switch 2 whenever it comes out. Also I wonder if since the Switch is not in high demand anymore if it'll be easier to get one and it will cost less?

    Like during the pandemic I heard they were hard to get your hands on. People were buying so many of them.

    Nintendo's still holding firm with the $300 price tag, but you can still get used ones for much less, and the Switch Lite is a pretty good deal too.

    @Doctor Welfare Eh, that's about how much the Wii cost when it came out and my parents were fine with getting me that. It'll probably be my main present though, since it's mondo expensive. At least it's not $500 like the PS5.
    Ugh....those stupid ants still won't stop invading my home through both sinks in the bathroom. It's already April-why won't they just go away?! Hopefully when it warms up all of this will stop. It always has. They come into my home through the sinks in the bathroom for a while during the winter, then when it's summer and it gets hot they finally go away. Hopefully sometime in mid-May they'll finally leave. I'm tired of having to squish them constantly. As far as why they come in during the winter it's to escape the cold, which makes me feel somewhat sorry for them.

    @Lady I got stung in the thumb by a yellow jacket once. We had a trampoline at the time and they were living in it. I set my hand down on the outside pad of the trampoline because I was thinking about something else on at the moment and I didn't notice it landing on me. It stung me. The initial sting hurt, but soon I felt intense pain from the venom-it was a burning sensation, and then the sting swelled up. I actually cursed because the pain was so bad. Luckily after a day or so the sting wasn't there anymore and about about probably 20-30 minutes or so after I got stung it stopped hurting.

    LOL edited this just today and noticed I made a mistake with saying "on the moment" instead of "at the moment"-I hate it when I make slight grammar mistakes like that.

    I know got stung by a bee once but I don't remember it since I was 4-5 years old I believe. But here's the story about how my sister got stung by the wasp (it might have been a yellow jacket but I can't remember) I was at school at that time so that meant that she was around 4. She was helping my mom clean up and she set her hand on the ground on an already dead wasp/yellow jacket. Even though it was dead, it still stung her somehow. I'm not sure this is exactly what happened but it was something along these lines.

    @Lady Oh my God...I didn't know their stingers still worked after they died. By the way one thing I really hate about wasps in general is that they're so aggressive. They will literally sting you for no reason at all just because they want to! I really don't understand why.
    I want to change my signature GIF to something else Mario-related because I'm bored with the Koopa Kids one I have, but I don't know how. I can't take a GIF I have on my computer and paste it in, and the only way to use a GIF is to post in the URL. Can someone please help me?

    Yesterday when I added Applebloom's "I want it now!" gif to my April Fools' signature, I had to get a URL for it. I don't know if you can create a gif image and put it in your signature. If there is a way, I don't know how to do it.

    Weird thing is when I first created my profile all I did was paste one in from my computer. But now it seems I can't do that.
    Sometimes I really wonder where my life will take me and how long it will be before I post something here like "Hey, guys, I just bought my first house!" or "Oh my God guys, my girlfriend accepted my proposal and we're getting married!". You know.....normal stuff but that's really life-changing. And I mean in a GOOD way.
    Ok so recently I got sinusitis. The first day, yesterday, was the worst day. But now it's day two and I'm already feeling better-my throat isn't sore anymore, my nose isn't as runny, and my body aches are gone. Plus I got a good night's sleep so I feel alert and rested. This isn't so bad anymore. As far as how I got it, my Dad got it from his coworkers and then he gave it to me. I don't blame him, though.
    Is it just me, or did you mirror your avatar?

    I just noticed everyone else had it aligned the other way so I figured why not change it. But now you're making me want to put it the other way LOL! But I think I'll leave it like this.

    Ok LOL I put it back. I was so used to it being facing the other way that changing it felt wrong LOL. 😆

    Meh I don't think it's really a thing that avatars are supposed to look to the right, I frequently have left-facing avatars too
