Is there like a TL;DR of what I should do to also get 47% better? Happy to copy someone's profile

I get why the general non-tech crowd pays for Netflix but why people who hang out on here do it is beyond me. Most shows/movies on Netflix are garbage, there are plenty of free services that you can stream anything you want from. Why the hell would I pay for Netflix or any other paid service?

But do they work well, that's the question. I don't really care about the subject much but from reading some posts in the past games play like shit on Linux and Mac because they're not optimized for it with ~90% of the market being Windows.
Finally, the best and brightest minds in the world can stay in their home countries and improve them, rather than brain drain the nation that raised them. What a blessing for those of us who care about the world!
Amen, in fact to help the best and brightest even more I would encourage to enforce this for even existing visa holders. Let the world be a better place sooner!
commiepatrol commented on Existing homes in America are now more expensive than new ones sherwood.news/markets/exi... · Posted by u/avonmach
This makes sense to me. New homes in America tend to be located in suburban or exurban areas, where there’s land to build single-family homes, and where it’s often a long commute to job centers. This long commute may lower the desirability of these neighborhoods, especially in areas with heavy traffic. Additionally, in many parts of America it’s hard to find newly-constructed townhomes and condos in already built-up areas.
This is anecdotal, but a significant reason why I rent in the East Bay (eastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area) instead of own in exurbia (think Lathrop or Los Banos) is because the commute is soul crushingly awful. Unfortunately I can’t afford to buy anything within a reasonable commute from my job (unless I wanted to live in a high-crime neighborhood), and so I rent.
Exactly what he said.
Older houses usually come with a HUGE backyard and in a very nice neighborhood. New houses are essentially stamps with tiny backyards. Yea it's nice to be in a new house but if it comes with 1+ hour commute and feels like you live in a chicken coop(maybe even a HUGE chicken coop) it's not really that great.

I wonder what is the proportion of users using an adblocker
I saw around me that many people are fine with ads, so I don't think it's much of a problem for YouTube
I read that people with either adhd or in the autism spectrum cannot tolerate ads.
Wut?

Even better, don't discuss them on the internet, either.
But how do you prove to people on the internet that they're wrong?
I've been missing a lot the frenetic gameplay of those, used to play a lot of UT at a decent level but nowadays I only see tactical FPSs or the likes of Counter-Strike/Battlefield with a high player count.
