YouTube doesn’t ban specific words, they have policies against certain types of content. You can individually say basically any word. But if you arrange those words to form a threat against someone, that will get pulled down.

He truly was

Yes, definitely, but that’s a separate topic.

“I understand being upset, and I understand voicing your opinion,” said Kaplan. “But if a game comes out and you don’t want to play it, and you never played it–shut the f*** up!”

This was directed at twitter lol.

Agreed, but it does make sense from an evolutionary/anthropological perspective. The thing to keep in mind is: it’s perfectly rational for a person to act irrationally if it improves their survivability.

Looks like the Vatican is gonna need a regime change.

It’s not a “take”, that’s just how it is.

I also dislike ad-based funding of everything, that’s why I’m on the fediverse. Also don’t like a “take”-based internet, but don’t tell anyone…

You can say any word on yt, it’s just that some get deprioritized by the algorithm, which hurts ad revenue, so people choose to self-censor. That’s different from them taking something down so it can’t be viewed at all.

I don’t think anyone would read it to mean that. Also, he interviews just as many people on the left, but mostly people who are…just completely out there.

Shhh, Andrew works very hard to convince that side that they can trust him to do an interview. After the Shirley stuff, he needs something like this to be able to get back behind enemy lines.

How about we just give it a bit, eh?

The “Most Transparent President in History” everyone.

This is the first time they’ve done it in the face of an impending blue wave, though. I was actually considering just a few days ago that, given the polls, republicans removing trump might be their only chance (besides a full-on military coup) at retaining any shred of power through midterms. What’s left of the republican party will fall flat on its face without trump (as cults typically do), but they also can’t afford to keep him around because he’s so supremely unpopular.

They’ve really backed themselves into a corner. Now the question is: how overtly fascist are they willing to go? Is the impeachment just a hedge to try and survive midterms? Guess we’ll see…

I would be happy with one guideline: taxpayers should see and feel the impact of their tax dollars.

It feels like that’s currently not a priority at all. The govt can just hand the money to some middleman who pockets 90% for a job worth 10%, and no one checks on it. DOGE was the pinnacle of this practice; honestly felt like Elon and Trump said “hey, you know what would be funny?”

Posted on April fools. Is the joke that it’s such old news?

Is the monocle a reference to a particular character? Oh, like the guy on the box art? Hah, I’m not even sure what that character is supposed to be.

Iconic Red Alert 2 stuff would probably be:

• A Kirov bombing some iconic american building like the statue of liberty or white house
• Tesla Coil frying infantry to dust
• GI’s deployed in their sandbags
• Yuri’s psychic paraphernalia (ex. his headwear with the tubes running behind him, or his phone with a little antenna on it that he uses to mind control people he calls)
• Tanya with her dual pistols

The money you gather in RA2 is mostly gold ore, with some gems. I expect some yellow sprinkles with a patch of primary-colored sprinkles would be good for this.

There are two aesthetics: C&C versus C&C Red Alert.

• C&C uses Tiberium, factions are GDI vs Nod, iconic Nod structure is the Obelisk, iconic character is Kane.

• C&C Red Alert uses gold+gems, factions are Allies vs Soviets, iconic Soviet defensive structure is the Tesla Tower, iconic character is Tanya.

I’d say mixing aesthetics would look odd to a fan, so probably best to pick one. If you don’t know which is preferred, C&C (non-red alert) is probably the safer choice.

No. Per the article,

requiring all adult entertainment industry and mainstream platforms…

Honestly don’t know if that’s worse than the protestant message that “god is omnipotent, all knowing, created good and evil, created you in his image, loves you and wants you to go to heaven, buuuuuut sorry, he can’t unless you “freely” choose to accept him into your heart. Yep, the heart he made, the mind he gave you, yeah, those are going to send you to hell. Nothing he can do about it, it’s on you. Totally not a weird, abusive, logically inconsistent relationship we have with him.”

Then stack on top of that “the woman should serve the man in the same way the church serves the Lord”. Just problematic all the way down.

If it was as simple as, “the man hates the woman just as god hates us” then the next step is easy. Fuck that guy, I’m out.

If you’re not green, there’s a bug where it will show the timer as 10m higher than it actually is. So make sure to press it before it drops below 10m. Best to just press ASAP, tbh.
