Lend lease really helped with mechanization. The jeeps and trucks they had were indispensable for the war effort. We often talk about guns and bombs, but people don't realize how important transportation and heavy machinery is.

That is ww1. Not world war 2. The whole 'wait for your comrade to die and take his weapons' did not happen during ww2. It did happen in ww1.

Also they would take heavy casualties. Use them as pure cannon fodder.

To be fair in those days it was hanging (at least in Britain) for just about everything...

Yes I am aware. But still...

Dude, the amount of times I freeze framed the one where she bends forward to kiss Aladdin (it was the genie) it wasn't funny. Oh and the tape I used was a pirated one with shit quality, too...

Edit. What I am saying is that while this is not 100%, it was something. It also made wonder why Aladdin wanted Jasmine after that, when he can have a whole harem of these gals!

Which he absolutely should do, and to rub it in even harder get some Kenyan tribesmen to do a traditional African dance. Really fuck with them as hard as humanly possible.

Because it was actually really fun to make for everyone involved. The voice actress who sang even thought it was really funny and cool to be a mouse dancer.

Damn straight.

Have you been living under a rock? They do not give a damn about the law.

Look... just make it out of plastic! This actually only makes the problem worse. If you want to recycle, it makes it MUCH harder since they need to remove the outer paper cover. Both cannot be together in a recycling plant.

Probably some other CEO or whoever he designates as a successor (his relatives won't have a say. I don't think his bratty toddler son will get that much, either). The way how these corporations are run are like the Roman empire. Run by backstabbing jackasses and who is the backstabbiest of them all will probably get it.

At this point there is none. They have been doing shit like this for decades. Israel was founded by terrorists and on terrorism.

Sometimes it can make sense... other times it doesn't. Many tech entrepreneurs want to just own shit and claim they have brains and ideas when they don't.

Remember the juicero? A wifi connected juice press using proprietary juice bags? It was a very extremely expensive overengineered piece of junk. With features that are wholly unneeded... and what is even dumber is that the juice bags can be squeezed by hand faster and more efficiently than by the machine!

Still, the 'inventor' got 120 million dollars in investments. The company went under a long time ago, but he probably is still sitting on a pile of cash.

Newpipe is great. I rarely watch youtube on my phone any other way

I used both Firefox, but after foxfire had some shit with selling info I went back to using brave. Brave has the best youtube ad blocker ever.

And yes, I am aware that brave has its own info stealing shit.

Edit: I remember the 20th century. Yes I am also aware that ads now are worse than back then. Back then you had an ad or two per show and it was good for them.

I need to state that I grew up in Dubai. TV in Dubai had a strange way of putting ads in stuff if you were a European or north American who came down there. On most TV shows you had spots that were made very specifically to insert ad breaks without creating any jarring break in the show. Mini cliffhangers, mildly awkward moments, or even in some cartoons they would have a 'we'll be right back after these messages' announcement.

The TV operators in the UAE either ignored them, weren't aware of them, or just didn't care. They would put ads right in the middle of nowhere. Sometimes even when characters were speaking and the ad break would start, cutting them off midsentence.

The absolute worst one for me was actually in 2001. They aired Digimon in Dubai and during a particularly riveting transformation sequence with a whole song and stuff they cut off the thing in the middle for a dumb ad. The better time would be just BEFORE the sequence started.

You are acting like they aren't already putting or trying tonout all their opponents in prison. Or worse.

Didn't they invent a machine that gives the closest shaves and haircuts you've ever seen? So close you will never need another again?

Except I seriously doubt any of his kids are going to get anything.
