At least on my Android 12 phone, FB Messenger refuses to send it. Says the format isn't recognised, even though it shows a preview in the picker.
I know that isn't the format's fault, but it does cause me hassle sometimes, and does lead to the reaction in the posted meme.
Alec is a total bro. I have no particular need for subtitles myself, but recommend his channel to people learning English because I know we can totally trust the subtitles, they're not autogenerated.
Questionable. In Northern Ireland, the police used to be something like 7% Catholic, policing a population that was over 40% Catholic. It was controversial at the time, but a 50:50 recruitment policy was put in place in the mid to late 90s, until the balance of the police force matched the wider community.
This is now very broadly accepted as a necessary and beneficial move. The current police force is generally seen as impartial (in terms of this one issue) while the old one was generally not trusted by the minority, to put it mildly.
I'm happy paying a Nebula subscription, (another video site started by a group of youtubers, mostly engineering/tech/documentary types) because I know that the creators are getting all my money after reasonable platform costs.
I won't consider paying for YT Premium (or Spotify) until they become a lot more generous to creators, and stop their insane copyright strike algorithm and banned-words audio scanner from demonetising and hiding random videos (Jake Broe, Joe Blogs, Denys Davydov, Ryan McBeth etc are always having to edit and reupload to cut some harmless snippet) and whole channels (Metatron) all the time.
no, i meant lemmy dot ml, their news pages.
Sorry, but you are exactly the kind of person everyone is talking about being awful.
I dare you, go to Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, where there are much - vastly - greater lgbt rights, freedom of press, freedom of speech, freedom to protest, uncensored internet and media, etc, than in China, and tell anyone passing by this Xi bootlick spiel. Ask them if they're happy to see how Hong Kong has been treated.
He is far from harmless. He's an imperialist who, in his own words several times wants to use military force to impose his flag on millions of unwilling people who already have their own democracy.
Yeah he used to do shit like that. Apparently tried selling it to the Russians, but they wouldn't pay? Less sure on that part. He may well have sold info (videos, written reports) on local activity inside Ukraine then denied the sale, or just handed it over for free. Either way, that's why he was deported, before he came back again. Absolute cunt, head to toe. Sincerely hope he stays behind bars.
Gibberish. A division that seems to support the conspiracy theory that the revolution of dignity was a foreign coup. I have Ukrainian friends in Kharkiv and Donetsk. Didn't even mention Ukraine in my comment.
You assert that human life must always come above self-determination. Does that also mean the independence wars, (successful or not) of Haiti, Ireland, Zululand etc were just rash nationalism? They should have just learned to live inside the empire?
For context, bonking tankies became my hobby since living in Taipei, which your side (i am generalising here, correct me if this is a mistake in your case) keeps insisting belongs to Xi in Beijing. It's disgusting that self-proclaimed lefties support the foreign imperialist over the native democrat.
If you haven't seen tankies denying genocide and/or saying the victims brought it on themselves, then, I suspect you haven't been looking very far in the comments of the news community there, to be fair. There are a lot of posters who will defend Russia, China, Syria etc all day long. All their crimes are apparently made up by "western media", (as if Jimmy Dore's basement isn't in the west.)
Fortunately, they're getting super buttmad lately at being downvoted so much.
You can't assume most users even see the sidebar. It doesn't show up on the Jerboa app.
You get called a tankie because of your die-hard support for authoritarian dictatorships crushing opposition using their military and police, such as by constantly advocating for anyone in western democracies to cease support for those oppositions, is the one and only reason you get called a tankie.
I have been getting "timeout" errors, which are a sign that none of my votes or comments for the couple minutes before the first error notice have actually landed. Happened a few times today and past couple days, although I can't tell if this is from an app bug or an overloaded instance server.
