Does everyone else I know remember me as male and now I am female or am I waking up in a world where this is normal for everyone but me?

They asked for role models, not just any random green flags.

A little bit of searching and I found this…Spotify Premium reserves the right to insert ads on exclusive podcasts, and ones that they produce/own. Ads will never be inserted into music streaming.

My best guess would be that since they allow ads for podcasts, they are throwing in Spotify pushed ads on podcasts they own. Do you happen to know if it’s specific podcasts? I would probably unsubcribe if I was randomly getting ads. The only other thing I found was people still getting ads when they were using air play, but that was a desync bug.

You pay for no ads through Spotify, but a podcast is sponsored they place ads in their cast unrelated to Spotify. I know how shitty that sounds and is, but it’s probably the only way those pods are making money.

When did fortnite become a subscription based system? Are you talking about the battle pass they have for a season? Or am I just behind on the times?

Dad?

Printing and painting minis and other things

It’s not about the adds, it’s about personalized data collection and selling it to whoever wants it. It has nothing to do with seeing adds or if they are personalized to you. Say you are someone with an addiction problem and come here to talk about it, or seek help/guidance. Do you want that being sold to whoever pays a few bucks.

What about a woman who had a miscarriage, or was raped and had to get an abortion. That data on you is now being sold and not just as a general data point of we have X many people on this sub or w.e. It’s RampageDon had an abortion and has been on this sub for X minutes making X posts a day. Ublock isn’t stopping that or the revenue they will get selling it.

Policy updated yesterday where you can’t opt out of data farming. They are openly stating that they are selling targeted data about every link you click on, sub you subscribe to, anything you up and down vote. Not that I don’t think they weren’t doing this in some fashion already, but the option isn’t even there anymore. They aren’t trying to hide it and are basically gaslighting people and trying to tell them it’s actually a good thing you can’t opt out.

Maybe your teacher brought the recruiter in to make you realize exactly that 'n stuff.

I mean it wouldn’t even be so hard if they just put a small level bubble and just 3 points of contact so you don’t have to worry about the center being convex or concave

This makes me feel so much better. I had the same start as you and was pulling my hair out a bit. I knew there would be some learning curves but not this hard. I just felt like a moron for a bit. Some things would be fine then the next print would be spaghetti for no reason. Don’t even get me started on the 4 contact points for balance/ leveling.
