I meant people on board of the flotilla specifically.

I’m assuming they mean de facto, not de jure.

In reality YT can do whatever the hell they want. You aren’t going to win from their entire team of ivy leage lawyers unless you’re independently wealthy yourself.

People using 3rd party clients or even adblockers are a tiny percentage of their total users. Which is why it was fairly surprising they went to such lengths for just that tiny bit of viewership. But for monopolists, having 99% is just not enough, they NEED that last percent somehow.

I would be alarmed, if there was still anything worth watching on TV.

He’s actually not wrong, but for other reasons than he stated. Namely, the regression into far right politics.

People are goint to die, because Israel is already so far past the point of no return that they won’t care about the ramifications. And that will be the eventual split between Israel & EU (not the US tho).

Software is the closest thing we have to magic spells. You need to know the correct “activation words” and make sure they follow the correct order. If that aligns, your magic spell works; suddenly there’s something on the screen that just wasn’t there before. Congratulations, you completed your first summoning.

Same, if I came home in that condition and the first thing brought up was yet another tech issue, I’d fucking slam the door and go get wasted at a bar.

1/2. I calls em like I sees em.

It sounds like a crock of shit for weasels who can’t look reality in the eye.

There was actually a time when the authorities did their duties and set up such stings to catch lawmakers and then actually charge and convict them.

That was in the mythical before-times of our ancestors though, long before any of us first opened our eyes.

I’m afraid 50k bribes are like handing a family member a $5 note at Christmas. Aka, it “doesn’t count” because it’s peanuts to them.

That and the incredible amount of grift and corruption, of course.

Only 9 days left to go! What could possibly go wrong?

I expect this to get exponentially worse with AI; on the one hand, because it will be used by pupils without understanding, and on the other, by the elites/“job creators” who can use it to access skill without having to pay for it anymore.

Affirmations are the basest level of “self-help”, if they even qualify for that, and amount to nothing more than wishful thinking without action. In that regard, they’re right up Patel’s alley.

Better get rid of every chemistry textbook containing a Mendelyev table. Marie Curie had a hand in a few of those.

I expect this scenario to repeat several times in the coming months/years. Willing to bet the “clean” ones are all infected with mossad spyware as well. Using a VPN makes you a target rather than helping you stay anonymous nowadays.

I can only hope EU carries that torch going forward and doesn’t bend the knee to US influence. But I have to admit, it’s not looking too good…

Which is exactly what everyone with a brain said would happen with privatization.

If ghosts were real, Guy Fawkes would’ve come back to haunt these guys by now.
