One might even say, much ado about nothing…
That’s specifically for video tutorials that are 10 minutes of ado and the 30 seconds at the end is the actual tutorial, which you realize you didn’t need because it was stupidly easy.
(Literally me last night looking for how to get to a thing in a game I was playing, and it turned out to be right next to me just in the dark where I didn’t see it)
Can someone explain what ado means then? I was under the impression ado was like a big commotion, as in “Much ado about nothing”. When did the ado = delay meaning appear?
The ado is the commotion/activity/fuss that is unnecessary. So “without further ado” is just another way of saying “without any more unnecessary fuss [let’s get down to the important business we’re all here for]”
Ado noun
1: heightened fuss or concern : to-do much ado about the need for reform
2: time-wasting bother over trivial details wrote the paper without further ado
3: trouble, difficulty The journey itself is not described; our heroes disembark without ado at Philadelphia —Anthony Lane
It’s adoing time so let’s ado the thing Zhu li.
I saw that it’s in the dictionary. Dictionaries document how it’s used so it makes sense. However, my pondering was as to whether it has always had this meaning or if it came more recently (possibly as a result of 'without further ado" being used in wider contexts)…
Ado isb actually a shortening of “to do”.
So, at least originally, No further ado -> No further to do.
the furthest ado
“I am furthering the ado. Pray I do not further it any further.”
I love the smell of ado in the morning
Frankly, my dear, I don’t give ado.
Ado. I am your further
Here’s looking ado, kid.
Much ado about nothing.
Wait…
Ado, ado, to you and you and you.
The extra comment is the like the ado in this meme
Me whenever youtuber uses the word “deconstruction” as “taking apart”
Or concept instead of idea.
A concept is the thinking that underlies the idea, or sometimes kind of an interlocking system of ideas that form an understanding.
And I’ve run out of anger about utilise instead of use. Don’t even have the energy to wri
Concepts are hard. Ask the US president
The only thing I think I’d ever ask him, given an opportunity, is whether his daughter vomits after he fucks her.
If I ever asked that motherfucker anything I would be hoping there was no answer.
The only thing like this that actually frustrates me is people using “hung” instead of “hanged.” It’s so prevelant, even in TV and movies, that I’m wondering if “hung” is actually correct now because people use it that way so often.
Wait, hung is not a thing at all?
Many people don’t really think about their language. They kind of snap their phrases together like a child with those big duplo blocks.
Most of the time that’s fine, if a bit limiting. But occasionally you get glimpses into how communication could be clearer, or more accurate, if they thought about their words more.
I partly blame our public education system. Not enough funding, some funding misused, other problems I don’t even know about. But it feels like a lot of people are barely educated, and don’t have any intellectual curiosity.
some funding misused
MASSIVE funding misuse. Most of the funding goes to the school boards, admins, and giving children brain damage playing tackle football.
I have a friend that effectively has a PhD in computer science with a teaching cert, he applied to teach some computer course at a local highschool but they gave it to a football coach instead.
Until we reform education, abolish private schools, and adopt standards from other countries, education in the US is unlikely to ever improve.

It’s not enough funding or misused funding that’s the problem, it’s how the funds are being used that’s the problem.
In my former life I worked in education finance and its eye opening.
First… Fuck Pearson, Fuck Mcgraw-Hill, Fuck Houghton Miflin Harcourt. Also fuck the companies that sell testing templates as a consumable goods.
The three biggest issues are big education companies, grant limitations and SPED mandates.
First, big education: They lobby state governments to change curriculum, even when test scores had been great. “We can always do better!” This creates an endless cycle of states updating curriculum that’s not broken and schools shelling out huge sums of money for new textbooks or even worse the yearly consumables that seem to have infected every school system. These companies just always need to be selling and will strip every dollar they can from the budget every year.
Second, grant limitations: A large part of a schools budget are federal pass through grants. These can have many limitations about what percent is spent on supplies or resources and highly encourages paid hours for extra learning time. Extra learning time means kids are in school longer… Kids like adults are tapped out after a full day of school. Additional instruction time has extreme diminishing returns.
Third, SPED is Frankenstein’s Monster: While SPED is well intentioned and obviously needed, legality and loopholes has caused SPED programs to spiral out of control. Now basically anyone get an IEP if their parents try hard enough and being placed in SPED can grant real educational advantages. Not only can students get breaks on testing times and other performance breaks, being placed in SPED almost always legally creates a burden for that student to be assigned more and or more expensive resources. If a child isn’t placed in SPED parents can sue, and parents are winning more and more of these expensive lawsuits, causing districts to place more and more students into SPED. This causes a lopsided budget where a majority of the funds are being diverted to SPED students. Meaning non SPED have less resources, fall behind and then their parents often try to get them an IEP to be placed in SPED. It’s a real problem, with no great immediate solution.
Everything you described seems like funding misuse to me. Using public funding to funnel money to private interests is corrupt af. The teachers aren’t to blame here, this is just what capitalism does, it corrupts everything it touches.
The inefficacy of current public education system is a feature not a bug. The rulers want workers just smart enough to measure inches and run the machines to keep the money printers flowing. But not smart enough to realize just how badly they’re getting fucked over by a system that sold out and threw them overboard before they were even born. You need high level language and a general understanding of history to comprehend high level abstractions that govern human hierarchy. Ill bet 5$ on which subjects are getting most cuts in public schools.
My favourite is a football channel who uses that line deliberately to drop additional lore about former DC United player Freddy Adu. Every 👏 Single 👏 Video 👏
It’s great!
Oh wow, little strange to see Pulsar’s account outside certain furry circles :o He ain’t wrong tho.
pulsar is a certain furry circle :o
When the ado furthers
On cable once they came out with DVRs you could skip the ado. Now there are unskippable ados and it’s much worse.
Anything’s skipable if you try hard enough
Just a lot easier on a computer than TV. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/
I use sponsorblock, it’s great, but it only applies to that type of streamer content/ad. And it doesn’t have full coverage for that. It doesn’t help if your streaming service has unskippable ads. And Google is inching closer to insert ads into the Youtube video stream dynamically which will make them truly unblockable.
With Spotify you can’t even mute an ad without it pausing until you unmute.
You’re being punished for bad behaviour. Paying for streaming services leads to unskippable ads. If you just torrented, you wouldn’t have to see ads anymore. In other words, doing the right thing comes with moral desserts in this case.
An alternative for torrenting (if you’re willing to pay) is Stremio+Debrid-Link, which works like a streaming service but without any ads nor geo-locked content. Debrid-link is 3€ per month (if you buy 6 months), which is probably cheaper than paying for a VPN (e.g. Mullvad) for torrenting.
Stremio has apps for W*ndows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS, AndroidTV, SamsungTV, LG TV, Sony TV, Philips TV (even Meta Quest) and also you can use it in a web browser without an app (if any of your devices aren’t supported).
The only downside is that sometimes movies/shows take some time before they’re available.
I was willing to pay before all these companies decided to treat their customers like shit.
Stremio isn’t a company or a streaming service. It streams torrents.
I know it suck overall.
It’s a lot less convenient and definitely past the gray line, but I pay for Spotify premium (optional), but pretty much never actually listen to musiv via Spotify. https://github.com/spytify
the statement itself is part of the ado. Just say the thing you made the video to say
i was today years old when i discovered that ado and adieu were in fact different words
Also, some people will type “without further adieu,” which is similarly infuriating.
They are just trying to finish before more French people leave.
without further bonjour
Without further omelette du fromage
