  • Recounts based on random samples of ballots should be standard procedure even when there's statistically no chance of it changing the outcome. This is key, to not only to reinforcing confidence in our system but to catch minor issues before they turn major. Harris should've pushed for recounts in every swing state. Biggest difference from Trump is that he was calling the 2020 election fraud before news agencies began calling it for Biden.

  • Exactly. Be peaceful above all but now isn't the time to picket ICE or DHS installations. Make Trump look like the dictator and loser he is by wasting the Guards time. Observation and Reporting should still continue though. Don't let the controlled and subservient media outlets tell the whole story.

  • Any ways to donate to these efforts? Probably not anti-drone missiles but any other aid? I feel like Ukraine is currently the best chance we have of destabilizing Russia and by extension their stranglehold on so many foreign governments.

  • "Decoy Bride" looks like once of those cheap, filler movies that actors do between big roles, and it probably was, but David Tennant, Kelly MacDonald, and Alice Eve gave great performances, the jokes really hit, soundtrack was good, and the romance didn't feel forced at all.

  • I don't hate advertisements on the whole but the sort of aggressive ways in which advertising is delivered. YT ads can be relevant to you based on data collected about you but it still really feels like an assault to interrupt or preempt a video with an ad that isn't relevant to the video I'm about to watch.

    The "sponsored content" parts of some videos don't feel nearly as intrusive or out of place. They're also easier to ignore. That's really been the big change to the Internet in my mind. Ads have gotten more obnoxious, obvious, and harder to ignore. In newspapers or magazines we generally got used to the ads and could, for the most part, filter them out. Imagine a magazine where the actual articles were sealed behind the flap of an advert. We'd lose our shit, and that's how it feels with the Internet for the most part.

  • It might be against YT ToS but he could have shorter versions on YT and say the full version is on PeerTube. Biggest issue rn is probably advertising. Most people wouldn't think to look on PeerTube, if they know it exists, so nobody wants to post to PeerTube. The Reddit API fiasco was a boon to Lemmy so this could be as well, but steps need to be taken while outrage is fresh.
