and Israel did even worse. Your point?

Many more tax dollars are poured into the military industrial complex than actual regulation.

I was joking but this was actually very interesting. Thanks!

Half-assed support from the US isn't because of ammunition shortfalls, it's because the US will only give just enough to drag out the war and drain Russia as much as possible.

Are people actually making excuses for Israel?

But that would make me a tryhard.

Which one is the Brazilian?

Reducing the amount of data you need to send is an obvious factor for a service that sends a lot of data. Not much of a bet at all.

If they're not side-by-side then it may be harder to tell, but the smell should clue you in. If in doubt, just give it a taste.

That's why I go naked to relay the maximum amount of information.

Did it hurt?

When I shoved this cake right up your arrogant ass.

Doesn't saliva production increase in anticipation of food? Kinda like...

Now imagine if that bitcoin went down 50% in the same time frame.

What really started the ad war was the endless drive for greater profits. Let's say I accept youtube's terms and sign up for premium. Sooner or later they will introduce ads into premium as well. We've seen this process happen with many other services before. I didn't start using an ad blocker until quite a bit after pop-ups were rampant and malware-infested ads became an issue. There's a point where it becomes too much and people will seek out alternatives. An entire generation grew up with convenient streaming services and they're generally less knowledgeable about piracy than the generation before them. That will likely change as those streaming services continue to jack up prices while making the experience worse all in the name of profit.

Again, there is an endless supply of entertainment these days. If companies think they can endlessly jack up prices and/or worsen the experience, they're contending with practically infinite supply, the consequences of which are obvious in when it comes to supply vs demand.

There's always Linux.

Even then it's questionable when they're begging so hard for an interest rate cut.

I specified intrusive ads. They could have non-intrusive ads, like a little banner or something. Instead they put up multiple video ads before and during videos. No thanks.

I'd rather not use youtube than give them money for it or even sit through their intrusive ads. There are infinite ways to entertain myself.

the TV scenes of Arab soldiers gunning down fleeing Israeli civilians, ripping down the flags in Tel Aviv amid burning corpses, taking city after city, fighting a 20-on-1 dogpile of a war that would end with Israel erased from the map forever, guilty and the innocent alike, would get played on American TV in campaign commercials for 50 years. If it happened under Biden, the Democrats wouldn’t win another election for at least a generation. Probably more.

But if footage of what's actually happening to Palestinians right now is shown then nothing happens? Their lives aren't worth anything in the eyes of Americans?

I'm glad Nintendo is finally starting to realize the potential of playable Zelda. Her style of gameplay will put a fresh new spin on the series. I also hope to see somewhere down the line a game where you can choose to play as either Zelda or Link and your choice will give you a different experience and cause puzzles to have different solutions, which would be good for a replay. Such a game would also have the potential for two-player co-op with vastly different abilities.
