“Pinky promise just surrender those Donbas fortifications making your country ridiculously easy to roll over, and then we would definitely go die to defend the rest of your country after refusing to do it for 5 years. Trust me”

Just fuck off with this kind of ‘deals’, please.

I don’t get it. So do you want to find an audience or just store videos somewhere?

YouTube alternatives are so far only good to just dump a video and share the link with a friend.

For anything more than that, YouTube is still the only viable option.

Then again, under current diagnostics for autism, we might all have been on the spectrum since we were all geeks on some level.

Who is gonna tell him?

Not surprising their children dying doesn’t change their minds. Not the kind of people to update beliefs based on new input, otherwise they wouldn’t be antivaxxers.

Could antivaxxers on an isolated island actually develop better immune system because of heavier natural selection pressure?

Topple it’s communist government

Is it confirmed she has BPD?

Yes, and now consider even if those technology secrets exist… How likely Huang is able to explain it in 5 minutes of pillow talk that would actually be detailed and technical enough to be useful for Chineese engineers?

The only alternative I imagine is if she wasn’t spying on technology secrets directly, but was involved in smuggling AI chips operation, and used Huang to get those chips to China for reverse engineering.

I have also thought about that. Jon Ossof seems like the most likely primaries and general election winner. But AOC is also polling strong, second place in democrat primaries. The democratic party is almost split 50/50 between moderate and progressive wing, so it would make sense to have some sort of compromise ballot, where better polling moderate is the president, second best polling AOC is the VP, so both wings of the dems get something out of it.

I always select other and type in a minus sign or something. I am not doing unpaid labor of highlighting what’s wrong with YOUR publicly traded for-profit corporation to help YOU earn more money by screwing us over. It’s just not fair to help out a corporation for free that would never help out you for free, and would actually do all the agressive capitalist tactics in the book to extract more from you.

And that’s if any of them even care to read this feedback, since they only care about shareholders’ feedback nowadays, not UX. Otherwise we wouldn’t have enshittification.

I am still happy to help out for free if it’s a non-profit or privately owned company, and/or helpful, or a FOSS project. They deserve that stuff.

Why is it a bad deal? I understand roughly that subscriptions are terrible for your wallet and the less subscriptions you have the better. But streaming overall, it’s hard for me to point to a specific issue. Not saying there isn’t any.

I feel called out lol.

I must admit, I don’t see much of a reason to comment anything unless someone is wrong, and correcting the facts feels urgent.

I also don’t pay attention to communities names and just scroll All+Active in the single unified doomscroll feed as you said, for the same reason as you said - so the feed has at least some content to engage with.

That kind of applies to most beliefs. People aren’t rational, we are motivated reasoning machines. The key is to get to understand emotions causing people to believe wild stuff. People are far less combative when you are curious and empathetic about personal experiences that led them to their opinions, not fact-checking them. This way you can have a normal conversation with basically anyone on the political spectrum.

No. Shifting blame from the corporation onto the consumer is bad, actually.
