Also that was in context to a failed Ukrainian OFFENSIVE. It was not defensive.

Attacking a country that's invading your own is an act of defense. Ukraine could blow up the Kremlin with a cruise missile today and it would be a defensive act, because every act of war that you take after being invaded is a defense against your enemy's ability to continue invading you. That's exactly how it has always worked, and that's how it will continue to work forever.

How about stop the killing completely?

I couldn't agree more, Russia should tender their unconditional surrender immediately. But that's not what you mean, you mean Ukraine should negotiate for an armistice and kiss their stolen territory goodbye. Capitulation to the violent to stop more deaths is a nice idea that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but out here in the real world it doesn't work. At all. If it did, giving Czechoslovakia to Germany would have averted the second world war. Killing isn't murder when you do it for a just reason and have exhausted all your alternatives. Suing for peace and selling your territory and people to an enemy in exchange for "peace" isn't an alternative.

Also, stop being a creep.

Pointing out why an imbecile should be ignored: creepy
Advocating for appeasement to a dictator: NOT creepy

This thread has nothing to do with your comment.

Deal with it, complaining about me invading your space is an OFFENSIVE action after all, you should just lay down and take it for the sake of peace.

Then this might be an older version, or else my establishment had fucked theirs up

That's not what he's saying. He's referring to neurotypicality as just being the standard that won a standards war, as in a format war like VHS vs Betamax or HD-DVD vs Blu-ray.

They're fully digital now and stream their songs from an internet connection, with a small amount of local storage as well.

The prioritization feature is great because, at least on TouchTunes, not even the owner can skip a prioritized song. Unplug the machine and it'll just resume the song when you start it back up.

Nothing took the wind out of obnoxious drunken revellers quite like what I called The Hard Reset: Miserere mei, Deus followed by Feels So Good followed by the 3 or 4 longest Allman Brothers Band songs available. It worked best when they had Mountain Jam.

What's more, DVD-RW drives for a desktop PC can be had for under $10 and USB-powered ones aren't much more. If anyone out there in TV land still relies on DVDs, you should get yourself a drive and rip your local library's DVDs to your computer. Handbrake is your friend and you can get a DVD down to a video stream with a much smaller file size than the disc image, but you can also still get blank DVDs at any major retailer and make your own copies with all the menus and special features. DVD still works, but it's 30-year-old technology and paying other people to watch the movies on that format is getting ridiculous, you owe it to yourself to keep DVD expenses to the drive and blank discs from here on out.

Imagine how shocked I was to discover that our friend BraveSirZaphod casually revealed themselves to be a maniac who butchers teenage runaways in his basement. No, I don't care to explain it.

Edit: oh of course you're the same fucking dude. Get a real hobby.

Indeed, the reason they added the option was because of how many people were just putting their custom thumbnail as the middle frame of their video, which was jarring every time it happened.

As far as production value and drawing in the audience, I really don't care. I would much rather just not see obnoxious shit no matter who it benefits. But that's what happens when one website has an effective monopoly, people have to scratch out any advantage they can within the closed system because there just aren't enough viewers to go around. At this point, what viewers click on is basically irrelevant anyway because we've crossed over the feedback loop point: because it used to drive engagement on its own, a pog face thumbnail is necessary because not having one gets your channel sent to Algorithmic Deprioritization Purgatory even faster than criticizing youtube on social media does.

Care to explain what the fuck you're talking about?

Words of wisdom from the guy who thinks Ukraine defending itself from an invasion is "murder"
