    Sort of like how you could have read his memo, but instead of doing that have posted several dozen comments about how evil it is?

    You are the problem, and its not even your mental illness thats the reason. You are just a bad person, that also happens to have a mental illness. Hope you dont commit suicide like most of the people with it.

    Telsa is the biggest prize the UAW has seen in awhile, and so the UAW is using every trick possible. War on all fronts.

    The worst part is also that their Nyquist is horribly slow if you ever need to do anything sample-by-sample. Its slower than emulating an emulator within an emulator. I have no idea how they messed up xlisp performance that badly.

    Whats better than making the same mistake once? Making it twice of course.

  14. Thats what other media does. Its a solved problem and is the natural endgame. Youtube just doesnt know it yet.

  15. Why is youtube an all-or-nothing advertising platform anyways? Why arent the advertisers allowed to choose exactly where they place there ads?

    In every other case of advertising, advertisers have input. "We want this ad to be played 20 times this month during initial airing of The Walking Dead" .. advertisers arent buying time expecting prime placement and then being shoved into the 3am spot when the 3rd rerun of Sports Center is being shown.

    This is youtubes real problem and its a problem other media solved a long time ago.

    In fact some of the biggest youtube channels have even bigger audiences outside of youtube. Joe Rogan says he gets way more views and makes way more money on podcast subscriptions than he does youtube monetization, and this is a guy that easily surpasses 1 billion views per year just on youtube.

    Basically the internet has greatly surpassed traditional media as far as viewership numbers go, and its not even close any more. Its the big secret that the media will not talk about.

    Agreed.

    Some of the most popular TV programming of all time would not be allowed today.

    All in the Family for instance could not get past a pilot episode today. Someones feelings might get hurt.

    Meanwhile the casting couch rape culture and pedophile rings of Hollywood are only just now being noticed.. Hollywood is full of a bunch of hypocrite assholes that think all their own problems are also part of everyone elses lives. I got news for you Hollywood... what the rest of the country isnt... is like Hollywood.

    Not true at all.

    Except for that whole science stuff proving that you are not just wrong in the here and now, but throughout history.

    You do know that the information is in our dna, right? it is observed that the variation in Y chromosomes is not as much as the X chromosomes, and the amount of this missing variance can only be explained by significantly fewer males passing on their genes than females. Women are 50% more likely to pass on their genes you ignorant sexist fuck. Why do you hate men?

    No, high-wage service sector.

    Most young people dont know that this exists, but by the time you are in your 50s you are acutely aware that a lot of services are expensive and you are also acutely aware that this is because the people that perform those services insist on being paid well and do their jobs well enough to deserve it.

    Consider that childless homosexuals, not being burdened by the task of having to care for children of their own,

    Look, if you ask Google what percentage of men dont have kids, it will tell you what percentage of women dont have kids.

    Nobody cares what percentage of men dont have children. As you travel down this rabbit hole of learning the percentage of men that never pass on their genes, you will realize how fucking stupid you just were. There is not a shortage of childless men. There is a massive surplus of them.

    Contrary to what the media will tell you, racists are proud of being racist.

    The media will tell you that a guy who is repeating that he isnt racist, is racist, because of this one single thing that this evil racist did (that went "viral.")

    Its a social justice warrior world, and warriors need enemies.
