The crime and taboo nature is probably part of the thrill

Funding medical research is “too much communism”???

Ladies and Gentlemen, the human race is cooked.

I’d like to know what Steam has to say on the matter. They are usually one of the more reasonable software companies.

No, you are wrong.

The death penalty works just fine for what it needs to do - it removes a threat to society.

And some crimes warrant removing a threat from society.

They can have the moral victory. I’m concerned about not giving them my money.

There have (especially lately) been a lot of times when it goes down.

My understanding is that Youtube has been changing the way they present or stream videos. I’m not familiar with the technical aspects, really, but Invidious is actively working on the issues.

For me, when I try to use it, it’s down maybe 10-20% if the time, but occasionally for longer stretches at once. Not a perfect solution, but another tool you can use to avoid Youtube directly

No, there are some crimes that deserve to be punished by death.

This is not to rehabilitate or reform, it’s to protect the rest of society.

Also it’s clearly cruel and unusual punishment, which we are forbidden from using.

I watch a court video the other day of a judge telling a young ‘offender’ that if he’s not careful, he will go to prison and get “passed around” by the other inmates. I thought to myself “This judge, who knowingly sends people to a place where he know they will get raped, is an affront to justice. What an immoral piece of shit who willingly works with a system that is contrary to our legally defined moral obligations.”

It’s like Spencer Tracy said in the movie Judgement at Nuremberg. The very first time a Judge sentences one person to such unconscionable punishment, that is when the Judge becomes fully complicit with the system. Not just complicit, but a necessary and willing part of the system’s survival and propagation.

There is no such thing as an “accidental discharge” when guns are involved.

Only “negligent discharges”

I bet I can guess what side of the issue Dad was on.

So this is a case of a Grand Jury not indicting a ham sandwich?

If I remember their statement correctly, they said it took threats to quit just to get ICE officials to respond to questions or requests from the court. Not obey, just to acknowledge the court.

You can try invidious instances like yewtu.be

Invidious is an alternative front end for youtube that allows you to watch videos without ads or other tracking. And it’s self hostable. But the public instances work just fine - I actually have issues with YouTube stalling constantly, I assume because of my ad/script blockers. But going to yewtu.be/watch?v=(youtube video code) allows me to watch in HD with zero ads or interruptions.

Youtube does try to fight it, so it occasionally will break, but just like Ublock, Invidious has talented people on the team fighting back.

There’s also a firefox extension for auto redirect: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/invidious-redirect-2/

I also make a mental note to not buy products that have intrusive ads. There are always alternative brands.

Also, I go out of my way to get all my gas from the one station near me that doesn’t show loud ass video ads everytime I get gas.

Is it?

I feel like people have had toddlers and dog bowls for a long time, and that people in the past have been ableto keep certain things away from water successfully. Perhaps if you have increased opportunities to get the phone wet, you should take extra precautions.

Well, meth will do that to ya

I’ve already read your whole comment. It’s not comparing apples to oranges.

I don’t think that’s true, the faces are different. One is higher than the other, different beards, slightly different head tilt, etc

Lets go back and club to death the first fish that decided to walk on land

Exactly my point - And public help forums should be indexed, and should not be on Discord.
