More importantly is the number of them that actually care. Americans are so morally bankrupt at this point most of them just wouldn’t give a shit at best. Many would be openly hostile to you just for caring yourself.

Or at least get rid of fucking Florida already.

They gonna bring in a bunch of GI Jackasses to sit back and control equipment so they can force even more Ukrainians into the meat grinder.

Distinct lack of lemmy.ee feds in here spewing pro Ukraine nonsense.

Exactly, and as long as they know the rest of the global powers won’t take the chance they will continue to commit atrocities against weaker nations and best their chest and bluster at the rest.

The thing is, what happens to all those nukes when it implodes? They won’t just go away. So long as they exist and some member of the oligarchy is in power, the world is at threat from them. It doesn’t matter how decrepit the military is. Is doesn’t matter if we run out of conventional bombs, planes, etc. so long as those nukes exist and there’s not a definitive way to stop them, then the world just isn’t safe from the US… And I think they know it too. The US that is. They want a nuclear war so bad. Everything they do makes it seem more and more like they want it sooo bad, they just want the excuse to do it before the world, China, actually does develop a defense capable to stopping it.

It’s literally all they know how to do is bluster and beat their chest. They are a bully and Nukes are their “crying to mom and dad” when someone calls their bullshit and pushes back. I have said before, the world will never be safe from the US until the rest of the world has so many nukes and other defense capabilities set up to make the US nukes completely ineffective.

Roasting should be reserved for actual stupid thoughts, arguments, etc. Things that come from a person’s decisions. Something they have control over. Roasting for things like looks, name, etc is lame, cheap shots, and lowers you. It’s one thing I never liked about Jon Stewart’s The Daily show. I watched him back when I was a lib/soc dem and even after going more commie I liked his show but I never liked when he made jokes on someone name or appearance. Shit they can’t really affect. It’s no different then other forms of discrimination based on someone appearance, race, etc. It why it’s ok to hate all Fascists but not ok to hate all of some race. Being a Fascist is a choice. Being a certain race is not. Same with roasting. People are born into their bodies and their names. You can’t really change them. (I mean you can change your name and get cosmetics surgery but you get the point right?) People can choose their thoughts and beliefs and change those.

The east is creating hope for the world after centuries of the west trying to destroy it.

It’s just a different NATO. Like how your right and left arms are different but both are still your arm. All these things are just different versions of the the same thing. An extension of the western empire.

China: Buys some oil in its national currency.

Some white dudes: And we took that personally.

From what I understand they did this on some other platform year ago and still there no real work around. Twitch maybe? Idk. The developer of sponsor block straight up said there is nothing they can do about them and the various anti-ad communities on Reddit are pretty much confirming that there’s no way to block them. They MAY figure something out eventually but this is going to really mess things up for a while.

It’s going to only get worse and YouTube is experimenting with server side ads that can’t be blocked because they are directly injected into the videos from the server side. As in put in as part of the video and the timing will be random. There’s pretty much no way to counter it. If you tried to use a downloader program the video would probably download with the ads in it.

So basically, if there’s anything on YouTube you have saved to a playlist and want to watch in the future without ads… Download it now.

Look up YouTube dlp for PC downloading.

If you have android there is the app Newpipe

Omg this. I seriously worked with a dude that was a like, a hyper cuck to capitalism. He would sit there and watch YouTube ads and when I’d ask him why he didn’t use adblock or use an app (this was at the height of ease in using YouTube Vanced) he just goes, "I like to watch ads because I want to support my content creators. "

I was so shocked someone actually said those words is just… Stopped for a minute. Like I just turned around back to my desk and just sat there and realized there’s no hope for this country.

They can’t even come up with their own shit anymore. All they did was steal the stuff we say about them. It’s all they can do. There’s not an original thought I that entire fake ass country.

Revanced app for Android users. Never look at an ad again. Also tons of extra features, background play, disable shorts if you want, disable whatever the hell you want. There’s almost too many options. Kind of a pain in the ass to setup at first but worth it.

Newpipe is a very lightweight YouTube player. Can’t port your Google account and the profile you make in it is local to the device but otherwise works well and also lets you download anything you want in different formats.

Newpipe also pairs well with revanced. Let’s you download in all different formats and such. Just can’t port your Google profile over so I used revanced for most stuff.

Huawei uses android doesn’t it? Get revanced app and newpipe. Revanced is YouTube but with a ton more options and no ads. Even ports your normal profile. Newpipe plays YouTube stuff but the account you make is local. Can’t port your Google account BUT it can download any video on just about any format you want. Makes stealing music and shit real easy. You can paste YouTube links directly into newpipe and it’ll take you to the video. Newpipe is super easy, you just install. Revanced take a little work to get up and running. Both are worth it.

Has there been any reports of people actually attacking the military police as they try to force conscription? I feel like there’s a moment when some will feel they have better odds doing that then getting sent into the meat grinder.
