They want to be loved and respected.

It’s right on point with Homelander.

The dream of every far right survivalist is what happened to Burt…

Like, their ideal endgame is providing weapons and aid to people and being a hero for it.

It’s just socialism except you wait for a life threatening emergency and every to tell you that you were right before you help anyone.

Get rid of that need for well, being needed, and you just got a regular ole socialist.

Yeah, dude tried to open his own personal Netflix and is surprised it got taken down.

From post history he managed to keep it up for less than a month.

I’m betting by “friends” he meant either online friends he’s never met, or people he wanted to impress.

So they gave zero fucks and handed it out to more people. Like, just the idea that you’re giving it to so many people that you actually buy a domain?

There’s a reason everyone isn’t already doing it already.

If you had billions of dollars and it only cost 100s of thousands to buy either political party’s leaders…

Por que no los dos?

It would be stupid to gamble when buying off both during the primaries was cheaper and guarantees the general doesn’t really matter.

For bonus points, neither primary is legally binding. At the end of the day, if you bought off the people running the parties, they can do what they want to ensure your pick wins.

The only thing crazier then donors not buying off both, is the people that say it would never happen. Like, this is politicians and corporations we’re talking about here… Throw lawyers in the mix and it’s a greatest hit of people who care about money and power over anything else.

Ever notice how the Party is tougher on progressives that belong to the party they’re protesting than they are on republicans trying to overthrow the national government?

It’s weird, right?

Especially this year, Biden should be inviting protestors front and center and engaging in a dialog.

That would actually get him votes at least. Even if he doesn’t budge at all, a dialog gets more votes than police abuse.

Like, the only reason there’s protests to begin with is we can’t open a dialog.

It’s like Biden doesn’t even want to campaign for votes. He’s not putting the work in that traditional candidates do. Probably because most Dem presidents are much younger than Biden.

Why Netflix is doing it:

HDR video streaming can also consume 5% to 10% more data than SDR streaming, according to a Dolby executive (h/t: Pocket-Lint). That means there are potential bandwidth savings on offer by switching to SDR video, although this isn’t a given for every platform.

They serve less data for the same price

While true and they have a point…

With having to do a restart after installing major programs the headline sounded like it’s from a satire site for an article about NSA snooping.

Like, they just did an update and now we all need to reboot lol

I think in the USA’s case it will be much like South Africa, where there’s still tremendous resentment against Afrikaners even though they are an even smaller minority and no longer form government.

One example was more than enough, I get it

It’s an averaged-out view of what “the internet” thinks, with extra massaging to make sure it isn’t too offensive.

There multiple fundamental mistakes with that…

Would explaining them be more productive?

Sure, but I don’t get paid for this.

You want to be productive, take the time to explain all the ways their wrong. You don’t have time for that?

Let everyone else at least know it’s wrong.

But what you just did was completely pointless

You could have just told us you don’t know, we didn’t need an example

Who cares what AI thinks?

Like, what’s the point of the screenshot?

I have this one cousin who’s a total fuck up and didn’t graduate 7the grade, he stopped by to get some meth money and I decided to ask him about the future!

That’s what you’re doing.

No one cares AI said something dumb, and you caring makes it seem like you actually believe AI is anything more than a chatbot.

I mean, they know they’re stealingg it from a real person, and no matter how careful you are, they’re tracking you.

Even if you don’t have a profile, they have a “you shaped hole” and someone somewhere has tagged you in a picture. They still have data on you built from people in any picture you were tagged in, their data gets extrapolated to you.

The ID is so they can sell the data for a higher price because it’s “verified” to be yours. Even tho without it they still 100% know it’s you.

This isn’t about Facebook getting your ID, it’s just so the people they’ll selling it to pay more.

There’s a chance a human never looked at OPs Shrek picture, an AI may have just checked it against real name tagged photos and it didn’t match. Even tho OP doesn’t have a Facebook account under their real name.

Facebook still knows what OP looks like, and almost assuredly knew the burner account was theirs

Bruh…

Socialism is economic policy…

The economic policy of those countries is socialism.

They are also democracies.

Like if I asked what kind of car you had you could say “Honda” or “a red Honda”.

Their not two different answers because one included unrelated information.

If someone asks what kind of government they have, “democratic socialism” would be correct, because only giving one of the main axises wouldn’t tell the full story.

But since we’re talking economic systems, the democratic part is superfluous

Yeah, that’s what’s going to get you.

Maybe if you loaned/rented them, but not many would go thru that hassle.

And you’d need your own locked down ecosystem they can’t crack.

On top of all that, I’m pretty sure even libraries got sued over doing this.

I remeber someone once tried to stream physical blu rays online to people for a small fee. And that didn’t work out legally either.

but if the customer wants to get the physical version of his book, I have to take back his digital version.

I mean, how can they “give back” a digital file?

Because countries that call themselves communist are just dictators lying about it…

I mean, you’re asking about two separate political axis: economy, and control.

Look at the Nordic countries and even most Western Europeans and you’ll see socialist countries that aren’t authoritarian.

Theres not a single communist country tho. So when you talk like there are, people assume you have no clue what you’re talking about about.

Like, what countries do you think are communist?

We’ve known for years that Netanyahu allowed suitcases full of money across the border into Gaza that could only be going to Hamas.

But him going out and soliciting funding for Hamas…

That’s a whole nother thing. I know Netanyhu was already likely on the way out before, but I can’t see how the Israelis let him stay in control after this.

He’s literally the reason all this is happening because the only way his group maintains power is if voters are scared. So he created a reason for them to be scared.

A short trimmed beard you have to do the neck and maybe cheekbones, it’s a lot of upkeep.

I think lots of guys had that type of beard pre-covid, then let it grow out. Once it’s long enough you don’t have to do the neck because it’s hidden by the rest of your beard.

And some guys never have to do cheeks because it grows in good.

Like how 20 years ago it was cool for teenagers and 20 somethings to have goatees. It took me a while to realize most were doing it because they couldn’t grow a full beard.

There’s a lot of variation in facial hair, including where it grows and how thick.
