3:28 okay there is a reason why this is. During the “creamer making process” they remove a protein called casein to make it non-dairy. Casein is something in milk that most people are allergic to, but it doesn’t remove the lactose which is why they legally have to disclaim that it has milk. It is still technically non-dairy because it lacks the casein but they have to tell you it’s made with milk if that makes sense.

[@Bakesuta]

Basically like a cat bred to not trigger allergies right?

[@username-mk4qv]

​@@Bakesuta That’s a good way to look at it! It’s like a hypoallergenic cat that still sheds. Some people think hypoallergenic animal means hairless or less shedding but that’s not always the case, it just means they don’t have the allergen protein in their dander. So you gotta be transparent. In the case of the milk, it’s like saying it’s hypoallergenic milk, but because lactose intolerance (and veganism) aren’t about protein allergies, they need to know that the product is in fact milk and contains lactose. (Or if you’re vegan, you need to know it’s still animal based.)

2:44 you can actually see the "close ad" button on the top right, so you're probably correct about the words not being actual buttons

[@raphapereira9709]

Damn, I’m really glad I don’t come across that kind of thing very often. I wonder if I’m just lucky, or if my country has actual laws against these things that I’m not aware of.

1:09:11 wondering the same thing.. you let the website opened/inactive on your PC and your i9 CPU jumps to 40-60% usage (and once you kill something in your browser's processes that runs facebook it instantly drops bacl to the usual usage or almost nothing).. none of their crap installed or even allowed, just their website opened in a browser

7:21 those are actually made to help people who have problems standing up for themselves and need something to lean to, not for general public use

That ticketmaster pop-up isn't coming after someone for going alone. It's coming after you because people typically buy tickets in at least pairs, so it will be nearly impossible to sell a single seat.

[@haukenot3345]

Yeah, if you buy a single seat that is either directly next to someone or has two or more free seats to either side, you should not get an alert. Not sure how ticket master specifically handles this, but that's how it's usually done. If no suitable single seats are left, you might want to try again later. Seats are reserved for a limited time while you enter your data. If someone doesn't go through with their order, the tickets are re-released after ca. 15 minutes. Also, at least with smaller productions that don't have a full house every night, you might actually get a pretty significant discount on orphaned pairs of seats when you book last minute: often up to 50 %, which means that for the original price of one ticket, you can either book two seats and leave one empty, or take a friend along effectively for free.
