Split in 5 intervals and at 4 ads per interval.
Ugh.

That's too many.

I'm already annoyed by the system they have in place for 30 minute shows.

-"This show brought to you by: *INSERT COMPANY NAME HERE*
-First commmercial, usually one from above company
-Intro of the show
-Three more commercials
-The first half
-More commercials
-Last half
-MORE COMMERCIALS
-Last minute gag/Stinger, Credits, Next Episode Preview if applicable.

I mean, holy [parasitic bomb].

I await the day stream ads start blasting at thrice the volume of the actual show. Unless it's already too late. I don't watch much shows let alone legally so I've managed to dodge most of that [parasitic bomb] in the first place.

We don't even have Hulu up here but it sounds like minimal loss. Adblock not work with it though?

Adblock does not work at all.

Actually, they already do blast at a much higher volume than the show. And we had a [tornado fang]ing law enacted to get advertisers to not do that anymore. They still do it online though.

Adblock works. It just makes a page appear that says "We can't show you our ads: Please fix your internet settings so we can show you our ads." Rinse and repeat that same thing 5 times, and they make it last a minute.

Okay that's weird because my Adblock doesn't do that.

Gross.

I'm suddenly getting flashbacks of TF2 community servers before Valve updated quickplay to basically kill them. I'm not very sorry they did when every [tornado fang]ing server had 30 second unskippable ads blasting at you, some times in the middle of the goddamn game. Video summary.

Mine used to.

Now the ads just go anyway. And occasionally they break the player so I have to restart and more ads.

I'm happy I already watched all of Sailor Moon Season 1, good for people who want to be all legal-friendly and stuff but dammit if something's not available in your country by normal means you do what you can otherwise.

Dishes need done tonight.  Laundry's been done.  Hanging out with Mabel and I plan to migrate my blanket and pillows back to the couch.

I'll admit, what annoys about Hulu isn't so much the ads, but rather the lack of variety, meaning the same ads play over and over again (like Clef stated). So, in that time, I'll either grab a quick snack or browse online briefly before my show comes back on.

And most of the time, the ads only last 30-60 seconds. Although, there have been times where it lasted 90 seconds, which can definitely be annoying.

Overall, I'm fine with Hulu. That being said, I probably wouldn't actually pay for the service myself.

I don't care what the weather is like, Mom.

I don't wear Short Sleeves. Stop [tornado fang]ing treating me like I'm going to immediately get dehydrated because I'm wearing long sleeved dark clothing. ITS ALL I [tornado fang]ing HAVE.

So somebody at SA gave me two guest passes for Crunchyroll.

How kind.

Short sleeves are useless.

If you want it short, all you need to do is roll up the sleeves of your long-sleeved shirt.

There's always sleeveless as an option.  Just go to the other extreme! 8D

And this weekend was a waste.

That's the worst one.

I recall our school went so far as to outright ban sleeveless shirts. It was hilarious.

This might be pretty [tornado fang]ing weeb but I still like the look of detached sleeves a fair bit.

Rolled up sleeves are annoying and uncomfortable.

Short sleeve t-shirts forever!!!

LONG LIVE SHORT SLEEVES!

I have a Grateful Dead sleeveless t-shirt I got at a yard sale.  It looks best if I wear a sports bra underneath it, though.

Detached sleeves are good for girls. Other than that they're pretty bad.

Long sleeves all-year round.

Detached sleeves as in sleeves hanging off by a thread?  Or is this another term for sleeveless?

And I'm actually wearing that sleeveless Grateful Dead shirt.  Shows off me sexy muscles.  Now to lift weights and look sexier! 8D

lazy so i'm just going to copy a description from a search real quick:

"Sleeves that are not attached to a main torso garment (if applicable) and do not reach the shoulder, revealing bare skin at the top of the arm."

Similar to 'arm warmers'. Most common I've seen it on is any character in a japanese shrine maiden getup. In other words it's very animu.

Rolled up sleeves work well if you're wearing a buttoned-up shirt. It looks sexier, methinks.



(the guy [tornado fang]'d up his left sleeve, but you get my point)

He needs to fix his other sleeve.  What a mess!  Roll it up army style!
