Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I never see a good or non-premium app advertised on YouTube
19·2 days agoYouTube ads are almost entirely bought by venture capital firms. They see the YouTube audience as immature and not very savvy, but that audience thinks of itself as mature and very savvy. This gives VC a pretty wide gap to shoot through for targeted advertising.
As a result you get products and services a step better than scams, and actual scams being advertised. The fact that these things aren’t really going away until Coffeezilla does a takedown kind of proves the VC firms right in their assessment too.
A good rule of thumb, if it’s being advertised on YouTube/twitch/tiktok, whatever short form media, it’s probably bad. Or, exorbitantly priced. (I’m looking at YOU, Displate)
A rare exception is Nebula. Should be kinda obvious why.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do customs place a cap on 10,000 USD for undeclared cash?
15·2 days agoYou are much less likely to to be robbed by some random crook than you are a police officer. By almost a factor of 10.
There were 1300 cases of armed robbery in the US in 2024.
CAF resulted in 2.5 billion in assets seized in 2010, 11000 cases of seizure were for non criminal offenses.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•[meta] Please ban comics by bigoted artists
9·3 days agoI get what you’re saying, but Nazis do not need a devil’s advocate. Racists don’t need any defending. Turns out, giving them leeway to spit out hate speech only encourages them to be more hateful.

World News@lemmy.world•Vance calls end of Ukraine aid 'one of the proudest' achievements of Trump administrationEnglish
2·4 days agoRight, I agree with that. The wording of the post makes it seem as though Russia shouldn’t be allowed to reestablish a union of countries through any means.
The Soviet Union was entered voluntarily. Ukraine was the first member nation.

World News@lemmy.world•France seeks release of 86-year-old French widow detained by ICEEnglish
9·4 days agoShe was overheard saying something about the “blue white and red” as you know this is the wrong order for the glorious colors of the stars and stripes. Therefore this was subversive speech.
She will be well fed, wonderbread with a slice of American. French people love bread and cheese and this almost resembles those things, so she’ll be fine.

2·4 days agoThis must not happen.
Why?
Like, self determination and all that, yes. But is there a reason beyond the fundamental human right of a people to determine their own government that we should intervene in Russian power politics?

politics @lemmy.world•JUST IN: House Democrats File Bill to Form 25th Amendment Commission to Assess Trump’s Mental Fitness
3·5 days agoAs soon as he’s no longer useful he’ll be discarded. Right now they can push through an agenda, blame it all on him and he’ll just lap it up. Any attention to him is a good thing. He’s an idiot but he’s managed to attract some vile, politically savvy people to his cabinet. They know what they’re doing.

politics @lemmy.world•Virginia joins a national effort to ensure only popular vote winners become president
7·5 days agoIt does nothing to guarantee quality candidates.
It actually functionally favors milquetoast, moderate candidates.
Your preferred candidate will never win, nobody’s will. But a lot of people will probably agree on 2nd or 3rd choice candidates.

politics @lemmy.world•Olivia Troye, former Pence adviser turned Trump critic, launches Democratic bid for US House from Virginia
67·6 days agoJesus these people will not just fuck off.
She’s running in a safe Democrat district. So we get another Republican lackey pretending to be a Democrat. Go to a fucking trump+10 area you fucking self centered carpet bagger.
This is incredibly disingenuous. The community in question didn’t support Donald Trump, and overwhelmingly voted 3rd party because Kamala Harris supported Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Not only washing over that fact but blaming Trump’s second term on them is fucking atrocious reporting.
