TIL three 13 year old girls submitted a script for "Tiny Toon Adventures". Producer Steven Spielberg was so impressed that he invited the girls to Hollywood to work on the episode and paid them $3,000. This later inspired a Simpsons episode where Bart and Lisa write an Itchy & Scratchy cartoon.
TIL when Buzz Aldrin, second man on the moon, guest starred in The Simpsons, writers were concerned he would be offended by his line, "second comes after first," and offered an alternative- "first to take a soil sample." However, Aldrin preferred the original line, and it remained in the script.
Fix for uBlock Origin on Twitch... I updated the script and it works (for now)
IF YOUR STREAM IS LOCKED TO 360P READ BELOW:
Twitch detected this script and locked you to 360p/480p to discourage the use of ad blockers. Follow steps 6-8 to update to the latest script, which won't block ads anymore but will at least fix the resolution, while we research a new adblock solution.
>>> The script does not currently block ads, as we search for a new fix. <<
How-to:
Click on the uBlock Origin icon, then click the dashboard icon. Image example
Click the checkbox next to "I am an advanced user", then click the cog wheel that appears. Image example
A new tab will open. Scroll to the bottom.
Find "userResourcesLocation". Replace "unset" with: https://ttv-ublock.vercel.app/twitch-videoad.js Image example
Click Apply changes at the top of the page. Image example
Go back to the uBlock Origin dashboard. Click on the "Filter Lists" tab. Image example
Click "Purge all caches" and then "Update now". Image example
Restart your browser.
Enjoy! If you are still having issues:
Make sure there is nothing under uBlock "My filters."
Make sure that you have any other Twitch adblocking extensions or "Alternative Player" uninstalled/disabled.
Make sure the correct URL is set under advanced settings, and purge cache/update/restart browser again for good luck.
I received a message last night from an old friend. For a moment I was flooded with happiness at the thought of talking to her, especially when I'm so full of stress with the current US political situation... then I saw the painfully scripted pitch for Norwex and legit almost broke down in tears.
That's it. Nothing funny or groundbreaking. I just had to share because I'm still genuinely hurting, as silly as that is.
TIL an early script for the film Gladiator included the gladiators endorsing products in the arena. While historically accurate, it was removed for being unbelievable to audiences.
Got my Wisdom teeth out and denied the Hydrocodone script
Don’t get me wrong a hydro script would be amazing especially with how bad my mouth hurts today but I just couldn’t take the risk I know I sound like a pussy saying this but Opoids are my Achilles heel once I start I can’t stop so I denied the script and got some bud and some CBD bud and been taking Tylenol and Motrin hurts but it’s worth it and honestly I couldn’t be happier with myself for saying no if I had said yes I might not be in pain from my teeth but I’d end up back on a path of destruction for myself and I’m so happy for saying no Also I still do other drugs I just avoid opiods Yes this post is just to blow my own horn but I’m proud for saying no :)
