Only pedophiles defend pedophiles.
And I fucking HATE pedophiles.

Woody Allen is still a pedophile who raped one of his own young step-daughters and married another.

People who defend that shit are SICK.

    Install Blocktube or another extension that stops videos from starting when you open the link, and read the transcript. It used to be at the top, just under the video itself, but now they’ve moved it to the bottom of the video description so you have to go through all the affiliate links just to get to the fucking transcript button.

    But once you’ve found it, transcriptions are your best friend: skim it to see if there’s any real reason to watch (usually not) and enjoy that portion of your life that you just saved for things that YOU want and not what Google and that content creator want. The transcript will also tell you what portion of the video you need to watch, if actually watching it suits your needs.

    I also regularly speed up videos; 1.25 is great under most circumstances, 1.5 if they’re really trying to draaaag shit out. You can always slow it down again, but it’s great for getting through the fluff if you need to hear it all (like repair videos for something you’ve never done yourself).

    Put like at least 5 of them in a bag that is appropriately sized and appropriately priced and I’m all over this shit.

    There are TWO of us now!

    But yeah, I do love some good jerky. I used to make it, it’s fun to do as long as you carefully adhere to food safety rules. Anymore it’s a very limited thing for me for health reasons but a well-made bit of jerky is an awesome thing.

    I haven’t tried this bacon yet, but if it’s a bacon/brown sugar thing I likely will, the sum being greater than the parts. But the bacon premise is iffy, depending on whether they are cooking this and/or how much fat they’re leaving on it, because you’re eating it room temp. Room temp bacon grease, while still delicious in flavor, is still just a lump of grainy lukewarm grease in the mouth if there’s too much of it.

    Could be great, could be ass. I guess we’ll see.

    It was mandatory but essentially had to be done on your own time.

    In the US, if you are an hourly non-exempt employee, that is overt wage theft in all 50 states. If a task is made mandatory by an employer, they must pay you for the time you spent on it.

    I know this doesn’t help you now, of course, but it’s good to know in case you run into it again and feel like pushing back with a report to the Dept of Labor.
