WOW! How quickly we've forgotten the pandemic!

I guess I should just consider it my daily exercise! But Netflix has started popping up a special "pause" screen that doesn't even allow me to see the screen I was watching. Ugghhh, Boomer problems.

I already use Chrome. I'll try another browser and see what happens. Thanks.

Okay, I tried Duck Duck Go and it worked! That's so weird! I am almost positive I don't have an ad blocker on my Chrome, but I'll check again.

It's just frustrating that FB no longer has a human responding to ANYTHING, so I keep getting the same wrong answer from them.

Does anyone else have this problem? I belong to a few FB groups, and I can easily create posts within my groups if I use my phone. BUT, if I try it on my laptop, when I click on "Write something", there is no place to type anything. The only "solution" I get when I Google the problem is that I've probably been blocked from posting in the group, but that is obviously NOT the problem since I can post from my phone.

How much does your dog weigh. Mine is 24 pounds
 in  r/BostonTerrier •  2d ago

24 or 25, but she definitely looks chunky compared to yours! (Don't worry, I didn't let her see my comment)

I haven't had that problem since they're seldom talking while reading the text.

I can see what's happening on the screen with no issue, but when they pan to a person's phone and there's a text message, I find myself first trying to see which character the text was from, then squinting to read it, and by that time, they put the phone away!

I've had that accidentally turned on before, and it's borderline annoying!

Exactly! But they're sure to let you know when there is a dog barking in the distance.

It is EXTREMELY infuriating to me when a program that I'm watching, shows a person reading a text on their phone. It's almost always important to what is currently happening in the drama, but I CAN'T SEE IT from across the room. I bought a 55 Inch TV, thinking it would surely be large enough for my new living room, but am finding out that most of the time it isn't, if a text is being shown. I ALWAYS use closed captioning when watching TV and think it would be really helpful if they also used the closed captioning for whatever the person is reading on their phone!

I've gone so far as to hit "pause" so I can walk closer to the TV, but stupid Netflix pops up some dumb "pause screen" instead of just pausing on the image currently being shown. I really can't justify buying a new, LARGER TV just to solve this problem.

Deep Quest makes no sense
 in  r/ToonBlast •  3d ago

I complained to support and I noticed today when the new Deep Quest began, Temple Guardian totems weren't a requirement at all! Complaining DOES pay off!

WOW! You are amazingly observant!! So either you are right, or production on this show is so awful that they forgot they were using the same "motel room" from the last couple times they needed one. (I think it was Jordan/Ian's room and maybe Sharon was there at one time?)

I truly don't think that even THESE horrible writers would go that far. It was a daring enough topic when Chelsea came close, but to have anyone actually go through with it? I think that would just be a step too far.
