YouTube has changed a lot over the last year or so. Now it nags me to take over the session in the loving room TV, take over my roommate's TV, log in the living room TV at least twice per session.
Meanwhile, watching primarily Japanese YouTube content not logged in pushes ads in...Mandarin.

I've been walking the Mi home whenever it is not raining since she started school, and now that Mar is with me several days a week I put Mar in the baby backpack and put Mi on my shoulders trying my best to impersonate a bus. The school seems amused by this.
