Cool cool cool. So let's do an experiment. I'll take a A-10 Warthog (and pilot) with its 30mm GAU-8 Avenger. You take a Walther PPK. Since the size of the gun doesn't matter, just who you point it at, you should come out on top, right?

Your sophistry is just gun lobby propaganda in a pretty package.

Good luck shooting the operator of the drone that wipes out your apartment complex. Or the tank driver. Or the F16 pilot.

In 2022 there were 47 fatalities in the US just from school shootings alone.

Meanwhile, in the war in Gaza, the IDF death toll - facing an opposition backed by multiple governments, Hezbollah, and Hamas - is 844 since Oct 7 2023

Like, I'm not even a "ban all guns" person. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to own a gun

Fighting the gubment ain't one of 'em. It's a joke.

Yes, he has a consistent record of voting in line with the arms manufacturers' lobby interests. He does not believe gun violence should even be researched.

If you think the type of arms you can get your hands on will help one iota you are gravely mistaken

Should the people ever need to fight the government of the US there are only two things that will matter:

1. How much of the military joins which side
2. Which nations supply each side with arms

Either the people get some of the military on their side (along with the planes, tanks, drones, etc they bring along) and are propped up by foreign interests, or the military steamrolls any resistance.

This has been true in every major conflict in the last several decades. You either have the support of military assets and foreign governments or you lose.

Dead kids changing a Republican's behavior on a politicized issue???

Cool, now do guns.

If you like that, look up "Blendo" from the Robot Wars era (before BattleBots). Created by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, it was also a spinner. And insanely effective. And outrageously dangerous

Are you the key master?

This person is suggesting that there are more options to pursue than meeting people at work and the gym. And that it sounds like something else might be stopping you from seeking those things out.

It's really, really easy to find a ton of information on Hezbollah and their history of criminal atrocities. Like, 20 minutes of googling easy.

Also it wasn't my comment you were replying to.

Which sea and which river was that again? Is it perhaps some geography that categorically precludes the existence of Israel? Since, you know, from the river to the sea must be free, and I am pretty sure they don't mean "free, under Israeli governance"

"Caring about Palestine" is not the same as waving the flags of Hezbollah, and Hamas, and changing "from the river to the sea"

I support Palestine and Palestinians. Israel is committing genocide.

I am also Jewish and will never wave a Hezbollah or Hamas flag, nor will you ever hear me chant that antisemitic phrase promoting the extermination of Jews.

You're acting just as bad as the Israelis when it comes to perceiving anything but complete support for everything they do as an attack

Legit same

This is the most accurate conclusion so far. The US government considers it a national security threat. There are lots of things it's "okay" for your own government to do but not a foreign government :)

Unfortunately most, if not all, of these AI filter apps offer some sort of beautification, as it's very popular and a good source of user acquisition

It looks like the best you'll find is something like B612

It is likely they pushed a faulty update and it will eventually get resolved.

You may want to notify your admin via email if possible.

As the other user said, you can check the browser's dev console for specific errors to try to diagnose the problem.

The app still works because the website and app API are separate and the problem you are seeing appears to be related to how the page is rendered, not core functionality

Go pirate. That's what I do when shit doesn't work.

I just don't also fool myself into thinking they will ever change their ways so long as it's profitable 🤷

I'm not saying you're wrong. Nor am I telling you to accept the shitty quality stream as the best you can get. I'm just saying this is how the system is set up right now and it's not a Netflix problem. It's a capitalism problem.

Big corps like Netflix only care about supporting the 90% of users to who operate in a bog-standard configuration. They really couldn't care less about supporting things like reverse engineered AirPlay, debloated Windows, Linux running on a Mac, or anything else that's not damn near configured exactly as it was when it was first removed from the box.

It is not worth the engineering investment to make it work. They would spend more money maintaining these features than they would earn from it.

You can have whatever opinions you want about that reality, but that's just how it is. Blame capitalism.

Interestingly there is a body of research that suggests enjoyment of music comes from having exactly one of two things, never both:

Familiarity and predictability

If it's neither familiar nor predictable, it is inscrutable and therefore discomforting to listen to

If it is both familiar and predictable it is boring

If it's familiar but unpredictable, it feels like a journey through known emotions

If it's predictable but unfamiliar it feels like 'logical discovery' and is fun and satisfying

A bit reductive but I love this idea

You used the term "NATO stan" and call my response a cliche? I could tell you were a .ml user without even looking at your account.

The irony is entertaining. Thanks for the laugh, tanky
