Alternate Player for Twitch on firefox makes the stream load for a few seconds and makes it a little pixelated for a few seconds, but I’ve never seen an ad on it, and the feed is nearly continuous.

Twitch adblocking could use a few more solutions, though.

The USA is hardly united. Might not have as much strength as it things for external affairs, since it’s too busy shooting itself in the foot.

Your not 'e

We could make a copypasta. Long. Detailed. Horny.

An oorinal.

I wouldn’t.

I’d approach it from a personal level, as in, “you’re disgusting for doing this, you’re disgusting for pretending any of this bullshit is defensible. This is beyond the pale. I’ll talk to you again if you stop it with the crap, not before. I’m ashamed to come from people who would do this.”

I don’t know if it’s a good idea to try and talk actual policy points with them. You think they reasoned their way there? This isn’t politics, it’s assholish indecency. Treat it like the thing it is.

Debating people who’s entire thing is “don’t be serious but make the others be” is dumb. Clown on em, tell them you can visit when they stop being transparently awful. Make it their job to patch things up, and don’t use kid gloves. Don’t allow the idea that they have a point into the conversation. That only applies to people who have points. Nazi shit gets you put in time out instead.

Don’t take up the mantle of always having to put out the fire they keep lighting in the bridge between you. They’ll burn it down and try to blame you for it, mark my words.

Decentralize the shit out of this, please. Make sure their tech-heads know that the document itself is unkillable. It’ll always pop up somewhere else.

This is a fantastic idea, at least in some form.

The category of information could stand as much defining as possible. I like where it’s going, laying out lies and dog whistles and incorrectly defined terms.

The first column in a table is labeled “reality”, in black lettering, and it says, for example, “I will underpay you and you will sing my praises for it”, and the second column is labeled “fascist lie”, with words written in red, and in red letters it says “personal responsibility”. Lead with the truth. Eye is drawn to the truth, so maybe red is bad if it draws the eye, even though it’s also the color for “incorrect”. These are the choices that matter.

You could refine those substitutions to make a little fascist translator. Maybe re-write key lines of relevant speeches in translated form.

Just riffing. Whatever it becomes, make sure you state the facts in a way where you actually communicate them, as opposed to some idiot headline like “jd vance says (random lie)”, helping the lie instead of helping the truth.

Very much like this idea, in a lot of variations.

My inclination is, focus up. You’ll have sticking power through focus more than being an all in one shop. Maybe. If you feel a strong pull otherwise, then maybe not.

Voter turnout being high is great for non-republicans.

Originally, yes. In the last 50 years, no.

I kind of think we should, and then change all the names back at once after they implode.

Yes.

Also: crack addicts.

This is worth a block. There’s no sense in saying the thing you’re looking at along with the rest of us isn’t there.

YOU CAN TAKE MY SPERM FROM MY COLD, DEAD NUTS.

Or like 3pm is good.

You only have to talk sense.

He’ll still try, and fox will talk about disloyal australians. And then everybody can laugh at them.

Most people didn’t vote.

It’s up to individuals talking and posting about who’s trustworthy.

Even before this, The People’s CDC was doing better work than the regular CDC on covid. This and other stuff like it is what will guide us.

Funding is still an issue, but trust is something we maintain ourselves by individuals paying attention and speaking honestly.

And it should be tagged at every level: metadata, watermark, poster, website. Redundancies will make it harder to use AI for lying.

Internet-wide, culture-wide, society-wide.

Don’t bother looking for justifications. They are infinite, because they are not honest. If their side does it, they’re in favor of it, no matter what they do.

It’s best to point out that this is what’s going on, that many others don’t do this, and after people read your comment, they’re left seeing the truth of the soulless, valuelessness of that behavior. It’ll make people slightly less likely to do it each time this repeats.

Conservatism is something to be healed in the brain and in the body, not conquered, fought against, or included as part of a skewed notion of balance. Same with authoritarianism, regardless of where on a left-right spectrum it is. Anything telling you to get fucked and fend for yourself, or bow down, is a corrosive thing that simply destroys things it touches.

Any opinion that isn’t poisoned by either one is a welcome addition to the table.
