That site is good for a laugh - a complete alternate universe devoid of science, evidence, or conscious thought.

I love it but let's not get complacent based on any good poll. We gotta VOTE!

Probably depends on the store. The one near me scans them some days but not others. I've never understood what the policy is.

If you told me that the last time Trump read something it was the text on a children's toy in the 1980s, I wouldn't have trouble believing it.

It's happened since Israel's creation. Next time an apologist tells you how the Palestinians left willingly, ask them about the Deir Yassin massacre.

From 5:00 A.M. until about 11:00 A.M. there was a systematic slaughter, with them going from house to house. From the eastern edge of the village nobody came out unhurt. Whole families were slaughtered. At 6:00 in the morning they caught 21 young people from the village, about 25 years old, they stood them in a row, near where the post-office is today, and executed them. Many women who watched this horrifying spectacle went crazy, and some are in institutions to this day. A pregnant woman, who was coming back with her son from the bakery, was murdered and her belly was smashed, after her son was killed before her eyes. In one of the conquered village houses a Bren machine gun was set up, which shot everyone who got in its line of fire. My cousin went out to see what happened to his uncle, who was shot a few minutes before, and he was killed too. His father, who went out after him, was murdered by the same Bren, and the mother, who came to find out what happened to her loved ones, died beside them. Aish eydan, who was a guard in Givat Shaul, came to see what was happening, and he was killed.

Or just waiting for it to come out on PC. I can't justify spending the money on consoles anymore. Squenix probably has a deal with Sony where everything has to be a timed exclusive, but on my end I'm not going to buy a $500 console to play a single game that will eventually come out on PC anyway.

Yeah, I typically like Nate, but today's column seemed sloppy. I don't see how Walz is the "safe" choice - he's further left than Shapiro. I also didn't get what he was saying about Minnesota values not translating. I think Walz was a bold pick and I'm happy with the choice.

The apologists are out in force after all the news this week about Israel's torture camps.

The thing is that I do want to have my subscriptions and favorite channels, and as long as UBO blocks ads, I haven't fully made the switch to a different front-end.

But it still bothers me that it serves me far-right, religious, and conspiracy theory content given that I've never once engaged with any of those topics.

I didn't read the argument as saying one platform's behavior excuses the other. I saw it as saying that both are bad.

It certainly doesn't come across as a defense of either platform to say they're both infested by Nazis.

I have no idea why you're being downvoted since you're 100% correct. I watch one video about gaming and YouTube's recommendations are all alt-right anti-feminist stuff with Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson.

Google surely knows enough about me to know I lean far-left but the algorithm is determined to feed me that slop.

I have no idea from a technical perspective if Odysee's algorithm is independent from or worse than YouTube's, but the criticism of YouTube is completely valid.

Trump was making modest gains with black voters, who have since surged in support for Harris. His message was as simple as "She's not really one of you" because he's upset he's losing support.

Trump is butthurt anytime someone doesn't like him - any individual, any constituency. It's just the same narcissism he always shows.

Even for white people - haven't you ever heard someone say something like, "I'm German and Irish on my mother's side"?

The idea of having two different heritages is completely common and obvious. It's not that Trump or other Republicans are having trouble wrapping their heads around the concept. It's a racist attack, plain and simple.

Blizzard swore off local multiplayer after what happened with StarCraft esports. The Korean leagues ran huge tournaments and made a ton of money off Blizzard's IP and essentially told them to pound sand. Now everything has to go through their servers so they control the ecosystem.

Same with how Blizzard now owns every custom game you make. They learned their lesson with DOTA/LOL and feel like all that money should be theirs.

All of which seems to indicate that this is a real problem. People can play Brood War forever, but what happens when the SC2 servers go down?

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

That's a bit of a broad generalization. There are specific Latino immigrant communities that are definitely conservative for historical reasons, like Cuban or Venezuelan people who fled left-wing regimes, but Joe Biden got 66% of the overall Latino vote in 2020 so I wouldn't say that Latinos on the whole are conservative.

Absolutely, Netanyahu is pushing for a Trump presidency. But that too is in service of expansionist goals, as Netanyahu knows Trump won't be troubled by little things like human rights or international law as Israel consolidates control over Gaza while continuing its settlement of the West Bank. Nor is that mutually exclusive with Bibi saying whatever needs to be said to keep the weapons flowing in the interim - the massacre in Gaza is not possible without the sustained flow of western arms.

The U.S. is getting played like a fiddle. Netanyahu will say whatever he needs to keep the weapons flowing. His party's founding charter says that Israel will rule over all Palestinian territory and that's exactly what he's working towards.

All targets are military targets according to the IDF. Schools, hospitals, civilian airports.

They probably have ten strategists around a table trying to figure out what this statement means. "What the heck is a non-military target?"
