I just went ot Walgreens. I don't go there often, and even less just browse. 

While there, I saw dozens of lock boxed products. A dam Febrese air freshener that is less than 5 dollars was behind a lock box. Deodorant was also behind a lock box. WTF?  This Walgreens is in a low crime area. People leave their garage open with their bikes and expensive yard tools there. (they at least some of those that I know in the area have cameras in there ) I can't imagine how bad it is in a high crime area. 

Oh, and they were racially profiling HARD, I can tell you. Holy shit, they were in high mode. Lol, while completely ignoring "others" like me. If I saw me and what I was wearing and doing. I would have seriously watched me, but that wasn't the case here. At least for a bit until they see my actions and rule out any bad intentions. ( I often look like a bum as I am lazy and don't really care what I look like most of the time. lol ) 

Constant ringing of the intercom to send help to x place and y place in the store so customers could get what they want. Why don't they just have it in a secured, locked place and hand out flyer in the location to bring to the register and then pull the product for the customer? Maybe even convert from a store to a internet related store with few items present for the customer to gap (impulse items with high margins) and the rest ordered using QR codes or better yet their website / app? Then gather it up and bring it to the customer. 

Great YOutube is doing that bullshit again. I am logged in but it won't let me view it in the thread. I have to open it in another page to view it then it works. They stopped it a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly regardless (as soon as I logged in) now it doesn't. I haven't changed anything on my end.

I"d use and suggest the entire drive and set up an encrypted LVM system.  
Take encryption an any way you can get it  Where every you can get it. lol It doesn't hurt anything. I do the same using Mint. 

I might have figured out my issue with Debian (pure) with this video. Had permissions issues and had to jump through hoops I didn't want to do. An unnecessary security step that I didn't need, considering I am the only person that uses these computers.  Thought this was the case but I think this confirmed it. 

Might set up one of my spare computers using Deb 13 now. See it. lol It will take a bit before my Mint covers that. I am also using Truenas Scale now as well (based on Debian) but it will be even longer before that gets upgraded as well.

Xbox has a credit card now. 

And American Eagle is unapologetic 

The great thing is the Woke crowd is actually helping the advertisement by being outraged.

Go to your YT Studio via your channel and clicking on manage videos and do this as well for you account just to be safe, whether you  upload videos, or you don't upload videos. My other account/channel didn't have it selected  like it does for this channel that I use to upload videos. I changed it from "I want to review this setting for every video." to "No, set this channel not made for kids. I almost upload content that's made for kids." Maybe it will help, maybe it won't. I think it will since it will consider your channel IS used to upload content not made for kids.

Thanks. 

I don't have videos on YouTube but I want to be sure that they don't lock me out in the future. I am not currently concerned with their $$$ but don't want to be restricted if I do ever decide to be uploading a video. 

I am not giving my ID over to some stupid fucking web site to upload and access adult / mature materials. Protection of children is awesome. I am all for it. However, by indicating that the channel and access is for adult. The materials accessed are geared to an adult should be enough. Especially when the account has been active for more than a decade with the same type of material accessed for it.

Does Age Verification Affect You? 

For UK and EU-based users: 
 

• In the future, we will be introducing age verification for the majority of adult content hosted on the site. The specifics of this are being carefully considered as we want to get this right so that the option to view adult content remains available to adults, whilst fulfilling our legal obligation to ensure children are safe on our website. 

For Everyone Else: 
 

• You will not be subject to age verification. The current approach to verifying you are above 18 years of age will remain the same unless we are legally required to change this to operate in your country. 

Love the meltdown

Hey sorry but does anyone know how to fix the issue with time freezing a ton during sex? Time just won't advance for minutes at a time. I'm also having problems with even when time is working properly, during sex everyone else just stands around doing nothing.

You might have missed some update. 

If you are sure you are fully updated I'd suggest you go to the Discord and post this question there for answers. It will be likely much faster than here. 

Can you imagine these being released today? The meltdown of the left? lol

I recently was able to watch #5 No nudity? The narrator didn't watch the video. There is nudity.

A platform should be able to do what ever they want to do provided it isn't against the law.  Secondary essential services shouldn't be able to dictate polices that will prevent others from doing what they want that is perfectly legal. 

I wouldn't have a problem with a payment process not allowing such a thing in their system if there were other options that would work that are the same. The problem is they have a monopoly in payment processes. This is a comment in regard to those that will say that the payment processors have the right as well as those game platforms to state what they want to do / serve. 

WTF Youtube!  I signed in your stupid app and still you won't let the embedded videos play? Seriously, are you trying to be assholes more so than you have been over the past couple of years?  I'm tired of jumping through your stupid hoops righ click and open in another tab bullshit. Most of the bullshit you show isn't worth it.

It shouldn't happen, but it did, which is weird. Never seen that happen before.

 

This is all about control. They can give two shits about the children. The government has never cared about the children.

 

 

Having to register means it can be tracked. They can see what you are watching and doing.  Totally violates privacy. 

I mean they can do it to a degree currently with the various systems in place but you can be somewhat hidden. With this, nope. I don't see how you can be hidden.

Damn you YT. My views have taken a nose dive since the other day. I was breaking over 200 views in less than a day, and my last video can't even break 200 in 3 days. And to top that off, I've been closely monitoring my latest video (as I have my previous ones) I uploaded and it was at 191 views. I just recently checked and it's down to 190. This is ticking me off. I can tell that this is not organic by any means. 

How can views go DOWN?  Someone went back in time and decided they didn't want to watch your video?  What is more believable is that YT is able to control, literally, change views on videos at their whims. 

Years ago there was programs that protected children. Sites would add themselves to the list and those that had this setup on their computers wouldn't be able to access this content. I forget the name. It worked. YT adding themselves to the same age checks would easily be done by setting themselves up with a system that would flag the content, and this program/setup wouldn't allow such content to be added. The parents, you know, those that protect their children ... as it should be. Would set this up on the child's computer (and any computer that children would use, like at school or libraries. The problem would be solved. 

The drawback was sites that had adult content wouldn't join. A simple law and penalty would resolve that. No need for this added bullshit.
