What a joke.

That sounds sick actually lol

I've just seen it as more projection on their part.

Because there is a mind-virus that's been infecting our political discourse, but it's not what they're referring to.

Damn, what a slick move.

I'm far from rich, and have ~$40k left in student loans that I've been paying off for nearly a decade now, so trust me it's not about not considering price. That completely misses the point I was making.

Finances are one consideration, not the only consideration.

Maybe if you view everything in your life as a transaction or a zero-sum game, and put no value in education or knowledge.

There is a ROM hack of the 3DS version that fixes all of those issues

What kind of work do you think these kids are doing? Like are you picturing a 12 year old getting a leg-up on their adult "competition" because they started their career as a literal child?

Let children be children.

At least in the US, we don't need child labor. We can get by just fine without it. So there is no reason.

Oh yeah, no way that would ever get abused or exploited 🙄.

Other than that, children will consensually work if the alternative is seeing their little sister starve

I'm not sure I would call that "consent." It's coercion.

Just because you left your teaching job before fucking your 16 year old ex-student, that doesn't magically make you not a sexual predator.

The face of pure evil

To clarify even further, there was a failed painter in 1930s Germany who ran on the same slogan (except "Deutschland" not "America"). Also used the whole "fake news" thing (or "lugenpresse" in that case)

...I wonder how things turned out with that guy.

He's literally the leader of the legislative branch of the Republican party. It would be absurd to act like he bears no responsibility for the direction of his party.

The first part of your comment may be true, but it's leaving out an important caveat: he's very much directly responsible for the current state of his party, and the rabid base he helped create.

I think that's some important context.

Yes, I understand that.

I was just wondering why it's just the one (pretty rarely spoken) language. Usually you see more than one language added in software updates. And at a time when Belarus is sanctioned to shit because it's a puppet-state of a nation that is currently waging a horrific war of aggression that was completely unprovoked.

Like I said, just that you usually you see more than one language added in software updates, and was just wondering if there was some reason it was just the one this time. And why it was just that one.

Seemed like a political statement or something.

Then tell it you don't like those channels and thumbs down the short stuff you don't want, and thumbs up the long stuff you do.

Remove the "shorts" section entirely (I know you can with vanced, forget about vanilla) if those are the 30 sec videos you mean. I hate them and ignore them entirely. Simple.

It's really not hard to get YouTube to be a pretty damn good recommendation engine. You just have to give it some constraints.

Do you actually tell it what you do and don't like? If it keeps recommending a channel you don't like, click the "no more from this channel," or "don't recommend things like this" or whatever those options are.

If you do that, as well as thumbs up/down, you get good recommendations. Really not very hard.

What's the Belarusian thing about? Pretty specific and notable given world events. Are they trying to make a political statement?
