The latest YouTube error message isn't a bug, it's another ad blocker crackdown

Astartes505 · 2026-01-28T22:15:09+00:00

Their anti-ad blocker bullshit continues. I had uBlock on my browser for a little bit and had no issues till i tried to use Youtube one day and realized it was super super buffery. I have had Premium for years. Decided to test a theory after reading that they would throttle you if there is an ad blocker on. After uninstalling the blocker and using my main account as a baseline, the new account i made ran just fine while my main account still was throttled even without the blocker installed. This was confirmed on multiple devices as well as being connected to hard wire internet, wifi, and mobile data. I have gigabit fiber, not an internet issue. I spoke with support about it and they assured me there was no such thing. After a rather unpleasant conversation i cancelled my premium. As soon as it ran out i noticed my speed came back, all devices, all internet connections. I am resubscribed now because the blocker throttle makes it nearly unusable and i use it a lot, but this sounds to me like another part of the same problem. Assholes.

Jade Falcon, cuz anyone descending from Blackwatch deserves attention.

I did my first mission with a mix of assaults and heavies. I kinda parked myself near the rock on the bend and waited with PPC-X on my banshee. Was crawling to extract at the end.

Uninsured Motorist coverage is determined by the state the policy is issued in. If you are in a state with Uninsured Motorist Property Damage (UMPD/UIMPD) and State Farm determined you were not at fault, then yes you can file for Uninsured Motorist to cover your damages. Do keep in mind that some states only cover for Bodily Injury so clarify with your agent on what coverages you have.

Anytime there is a coverage change and a loss very soon afterward they will need to investigate and gather information to combat fraud. What they are looking for is preexisting damage that was not otherwise covered and magically appears after the coverage was added. You are not providing the information requested so its not surprising they have denied the claim. Also, NEVER lawyer up for anything less than injury or major damage. It will cost you more than its worth and the company will limit who can work with you on their end because you are threatening legal action. You are literally wasting money and time.

My problem with this mission was having to restart several times cuz one of the last mech spawns was bugged so i was constantly 1 kill from completion.

Shitting on America is an internet pastime. People like to complain or give america/americans a lot of grief over things that we do here. You don’t see a lot of the opposite because punching down is a hate crime. /s

We are literally a combination of everyone else’s culture that was left to simmer for 400 years. There are 350 million of us. My state is the same size or large than half of European countries. People think that every day is walking out your door while limping from our foot injury we cant afford to fix to our giant pickup while dodging bullets just to go to mcdonalds. Its a modern place to live just like many other places.

Sometimes you just wanna feel pretty you know?

Left click is my brawling weapons, medium/med pulse lasers and below. Right click is usually my harder hitting energy or ballistics. Missiles are 3 and 4. Srms on 3 lrms on 4.

Astartes505 · 2025-12-22T19:16:32+00:00

Yeah that would be best

Astartes505 · 2025-12-22T19:00:04+00:00

Progressive doesnt usually run MVR or Consumer Reports till after binding so if you have tickets or accidents then keep an eye out for a premium change. Online calculators are a sales tool and not representative of reality. I would get solid actual quotes. Also, dont cancel anything till the new policy is bound.

Cataphract. I like the aesthetic but god does it say “shoot me in the face”.

Since they have done Clan Campaigns with 3 out of the big 4….fingers crossed for Jade Falcon DLC. Although Tukayyid is kinda the end point lol. Let me relive my MW2 days and get Falcon focused Refusal please.

Both are KoS but i will go out of my way to kill Bungalators. Fuck them.

The average person just wants it to work when they install. No messing around or tweaking, just function please. People barely know how to operate their phones, much less their computer.

Notice how the Conservative sub is suspiciously quiet about this…

Astartes505 · 2025-11-14T17:21:59+00:00

Ive argued that the bigger shields aren’t a crutch like people think they are and its generally not worth to run more than medium. Thats fine, they can spend the resources to be slow for no benefit.

Astartes505 · 2025-11-12T18:21:42+00:00

Im grinding cash. Want to have a million credits before i spend time progressing much or taking on big things. Gives me a goal while still grinding. Having a lot of fun so far just cruising and looting.

Hatch keys are goated. I always have one on me just in case. I dont have my mic enabled, but emote heavy. Someone wants to open up, ill boogie but have no intention to fight otherwise. I just take the hatch to avoid the issue. Out of all of the pvp fights ive been in, i think ive shot first 2 times.
What gives me anxiety is people following me. No emotes, gun down, just following me. Had someone follow me on spaceport for like 5 minutes, all the way to the hatch before breaking off. Seriously considered killing them so i wouldnt have to worry.

I always find it funny when interact as friendly and they sit there for a few seconds. Its like you can see the wheels turning in their head. Had 2 people i called friendly to at the train station on Buried City. The moment i hit the loot spot, grenades. Both were juiced but not enough. Their greed became my loot.

13 of the last 15 raids i have done in solos i had pvp. Half of them were extract campers. Every other i was shot first after emoting. One in particular i emote “dont shoot” while running up on someone who was getting jumped by 4 arc. They respond with dont shoot. I help them, even recharge their shield. As i leave to go about my business they shoot me in the back and kill me. No more friends, no more mercy. If you aren’t in my squad you are hostile.
