My man, if you don't recognize this as VERY basic trolling, maybe you should stay off the internet for a while.

Pesto base, grilled chicken, cashews, red onions, sun-dried tomatoes.

Can someone set me straight on Pizzagate? Like, sure what it evolved into was BS, with people storming a pizza parlor looking for non-existent basements. But… I mean fuck, look at the emails in the Epstein files, compare them with the Podesta emails… Are we really trying to say that “pizza” WASN’T being used as code between high-profile individuals in Washington? People still bring up Pizzagate as if it were all conspiracy nonsense, but I’m sitting here reading actual emails between grown adults high up in politics who are salivating over the thought of sharing fresh, young pizza and bring VERY particular about the toppings. Not to mention the other foods that are talked about in a similar batshit crazy way (jerky, tuna/sushi, pink/black shrimp, etc.). Normal people do not talk about food like this. And at its core, wasn’t Pizzagate about high-profile individuals using pizza as a code to traffic children? While there is no smoking gun (yet) that proves pizza and other foods were 100% code for children… Come on. It’s clear they AREN’T just talking about food. And it’s all found smack dab in the middle of a global conspiracy that has a focus on trafficking minors!! So, again, someone tell me WHY we’re still treating Pizzagate as completely debunked nonsense? The specifics at the end were wrong and the whole movement was likely taken over by controlled opposition by the end of things. But the core conspiracy? Are we just pretending there’s nothing there? Are people so disgusted by the idea that they are just preferring to call it debunked when it really hasn’t been?

Isn’t like only one of them a cop? Seems a bit farfetched to call it “full on” copaganda.

Music is free with premium, and I watch videos everywhere

And can you play videos on you phone with the screen off?

This is one of those things that I go against the Lemmy hivemind on. I cut out pretty much every streaming service and sail the high seas for most of my media.But I consider YouTube Premium worth the cost. I got grandfathered into it when Google Music shut down and I really haven’t felt the need to change anything. YouTube music is better than Spotify. I don’t have to constantly play the whack-a-mole game of ad blockers that will inevitably break during a YouTube update. I don’t have to rely on finicky software to get videos to play in the background with my phone screen off. Look, I get it. All these features used to be offered for free without ads. I think that more than anything is why people are so rabidly against premium, because they feel like they had that stuff stolen from them. But YouTube is a service, not a right. The cost of Premium is miniscule compared to the benefits I get from it. I use YouTube a LOT. Weather for how to videos, or ASMR, or background music, or documentaries, or podcasts. I like knowing that no matter where I use it, from my computer to my phone to the random smart TV in a hotel that I cast to, I’m not going to see any ads. All this is based on the current services offered at the current price. If and when they start making those services shittier or increase the cost, then I will seek alternatives; but not before.

Just pile more blankets on
