You know those “volume up” warnings? They exist because people usually have their devices on mute. Because of ads.

By clarifying to yourself why you don’t want to use it anymore. So far, your reasoning apparently isn’t very convincing yet.

Okay, I have never experienced that, I always know when stuff is on sale. Also Costco isn’t a thing here. So I suppose it depends on where you are.

Do shops around you keep sales secret from you until you enter the building? Get that information while you make your shopping list at home.

Huh. Okay, even then, prices don’t fluctuate so wildly you’d have to make that decision every time.

How would that SAVE money? Buying groceries without knowing what you have at home and what you need?

Not to sound like your mum but that may be why you don’t have money.

I mean, I’m too stingy to pay for premium but I do buy detergent.

Those people would pay for ad-free. Edit: according to OP’s logic.

But not all the way through?

I recently had use for a piece from my cable collection. ╰(*°▽°*)╯

The term you want is uncanny valley. AI generated images are just a little left of “realistic”, not clearly enough “not real” to be perceived as such on first glance but also just barely not “real” enough to pass. That’s a space that makes humans uncomfortable.

Ah. Yes, I am utterly unsurprised.

Countries cannot make citizens stateless

Certain (most?) countries do their best to avoid making people stateless but there’s nobody to tell them no other than their own laws.

Last time I checked you can’t voluntarily rid yourself of your US citizenship, even if you have another.

i love this so much im gonna cry

Analogies are never perfect.

Sure, and lungs are like handcuffs to air, they constantly remind you to breathe.

Confusing as fuck is what it would be. What if my mum and the friend I hung out with for four months on student exchange and my favourite primary school teacher all meet me at the same time? They don’t know of each other’s existence and they know wildly different me’s. Which me would I be? Do I notice myself oscillating between personalities and bodies?

What does “see” mean? What does that entail? Can I look at them in a zoo?
