Quote from: zombie no.one on May 09, 2026, 06:15:12 AMyoutube seems to occasionally randomly give me 'browse internet/ do other stuff while watching youtube' privileges on my phone, which I thought was a premium members only thing?

if I navigate away from the youtube app, it turns the youtube player into a small box that I can have playing and also move it around the screen while doing other stuff...

not complaining

I don't use youtube on my phone often but when I do I access it by the web. No restrictions that way. A YouTube specific app seems useless to me?

if I go on youtube in web browser on my phone, if I look at another tab the vid will stop

but yeah the app is not much different to going on it the 'old fashioned' way

I don't use my phone for much....
I started going to youtube music on my PC because it doesn't have to reload a whole new page every time I want to play my music list.....

I tried to make a point about people in ethnic groups forming criminal enterprises within that group and people took it the wrong way. There was a Jewish group that just got indicted for insider trading here in Boston and of course the Somali daycare stuff in Minnesota. The mafia is an even better example of what I'm saying: part of the code or whatever is being a part of the same community. Instead, I think people thought I was saying Jewish people and/ or Somalis are all criminals, etc.

Gregory Abbott's Shake You Down is one of the corniest, pretentious, most cringe R&B song ever. It is also a lame rip off of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing.

How this song was so popular back then is beyond me.

There's an R and B song that goes "I don't wanna know, if you're playing me keep it on the low" that I can't stand. You are sending the wrong message to the youth, sir.

people whose mobile phone screens are like some patchwork mosaic of smashed glass... what are you doing? I've never so much as chipped / dented a phone screen.

My mentor had a phone like that. As it was a work phone, she did not want to send it in as it would be a pile of paperwork.

For her birthday one year, I lent her my spare phone, she put her simcard in it and I took her phone to a store near me. ZAR300 later she had a phone with a new screen.

Sorted. That was her birthday present 😊😉🐢

Nice work Trev... you're not just an eminent crapologist, you're also a conscientious phone lender and screen replacement arranger.

Why Ranch Dressing never found a culinary home in Europe:

European palate preferences lean heavily toward vinaigrettes (oil and vinegar).
Ranch is often viewed overseas as overly processed or unappealingly thick for a salad.
Variations of Ranch can be found in Europe, but it is almost always rebranded as "Cool American" flavour (notably on Doritos) or simply labeled "Sour Cream and Chives", which uses a more familiar culinary vocabulary.
There are salad dressings with buttermilk, but they use entirely different ingredients and spices than what is usually found in Ranch.

Dr. Pepper and Root Beer found a home in Europe. We even get Mountain Dew (without BVO). Peanut Butter has become a stable, also marshmallow fluff and Pop Tarts, but in a slimmed-down version (adjusted for European eating habits).

I haven't had ranch dressing on salad in ages. The american in me kind of misses it haha

People in Virginia & The Carolinas feel the same way about barbeque.... Vinegar & pepper....
They consider Texas style to be ketchup.....

I almost never get ranch dressing on a salad (blue cheese or a simple vinaigrette, please), but it's OK with buffalo wings.

In South Africa our ranches don't require dressing so everyone just walks around naked 😉😉🐢
