To be fair, I’m using Linux, MacOS with Darwin Nix for managing it, Windows, and I still am not sure what exactly is an operating system, what’s the role of kernel and all of the possible system software is. Well, I think kernel is for hardware abstraction, but other than that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You’re right, I mixed up sophistry and fallacy. Better check next time

see them as tactical conversational attacks

Well, fallacies originally were not meant to fool yourself, but to win argument by any means. So you are describing a fallacy, even if it’s not called that

Only third party sync, I use Syncthing for that, works great most of the time

Also you missed their very subtle joke.

If it was a joke, it went way overboard

The article you linked (twice) has this text (highlight is mine):

The term also may be used to refer to the previous status of the Swan Islands, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, as well as the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands when it existed

And a bit further in the Former Insular Areas it lists:

Puerto Rico: military government, 1899–1900; insular government, 1900–1952; became a commonwealth on July 25, 1952

It contradicts what you’re saying about Puerto Rico still being an Insular Area

a separate country of US citizens.

How’s that supposed to work?

By the way, how does it? I didn’t hear any news for quite some time already 🤔

1. What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all
2. I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never
3. If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video. Maybe accompanied by a video to make use of audience reach, if you already have a channel with an audience, that is.

Probably not the last one

If he does, how will you feel about selling out Palestinians?

I will feel same as now, so don’t worry

So, you admit that not voting for Dems you vote Trump, but you just think that it’s no big deal, because last time he failed to break everything he touched?

Edit: it’s a pity there’s no travelling to alternative timelines, I’d really love to see what Trump’s victory would lead to, but wouldn’t want to live in that reality.

The IP owner can print more, but if the owner is gone or legally unclear, then yes. Although I don’t think this was the real intention, because greed looks like a simpler reason and fits

will be ignoring further off-topic replies.

You failed a bit

The best situation for not losing the message would actually be a Harris loss and where various pundits and orgs push the message that it was due to support for genocide

That would maybe work if there were test elections and then the real deal a little after. Having a dicktator for the next 4 years (minimum) is a bit too much to send the message. It is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.

You’re right that there is a lot of good content, too. The problem is that a platform doesn’t care as long as you stay and watch, also you’ll need quite a lot of effort to find your own good content. So when I come to YouTube for something and end up watching more, I always know that I failed to YouTube trying to rip me off

If only I could get addicted to something socially acceptable in under 35 minutes, like doing chores, or at least maths

Maybe you’re right and it could work. I’m afraid there’s always a share of sociopaths this will not affect, but this may be seen as impossible to fix anyway. What I am also afraid of is that the speed of changes is glacial in this model, and sometimes people are bullied into suicide in the course of mere weeks

Yeah, trusting someone to make right decisions is hard because this trust usually ends up being betrayed sooner or later.

Regarding the first part, I meant that we as a community can’t put enough pressure on a bully to make em leave, if that bully is part of the community that supports em.

And what would happen when the community itself is built on hatred and welcomes hate wholeheartedly?
