That's what Patreon and the like are for. Ad money is a fucking meme, people hear about giant sites raking in ad revenue and don't think about the huge number of impressions these places generate. Most creators on YouTube are making their money with Patreon, GoFundMe, and other crowd funding services. SuperChats are another huge revenue source, and with the YouTube Premiere feature you can rake those in on pre-recorded videos instead of just live streams.
Quit waiting around for a pittance of ad revenue, get yourself a Patreon and run the e-begging racket.
So that means the Republicans are justified in their worry about illegals voting then, right? Because the talking point against efforts to stop the practice is "LMAO it's only a couple of cases, who cares?"
I don't see how this is any different than most people essentially voting randomly based on whatever political message they heard most recently. I mean, if you really think the majority of the voting public is reasonably informed about the issues they're voting on, well I don't know what to tell you.
Statistical noise. In addition, there's no reason why a law (which frankly probably already exists) couldn't prohibit vote coercion, invalidating such a blatant example as you presented. Any cases of some evil white patriarch strong arming his binder of women into voting the way he wants are statistical noise. How many people vote completely randomly? Where's your hand wringing over that?
Obviously that means there must be a scourge of evil fat cat bosses blackmailing their employees into voting for the bosses preferred candidate! It must be true, it's a Slashdot talking point whenever voting systems come up!
They've just outsourced their sanctimonious bullshit to AI and machine learning algorithms. As long as they disclose that they're too stupid to come up with their own rebuttals, who cares?
It's easy to show a drop in crime when you change the way crimes are reported to manipulate public opinion. You see if we don't collect information about the ethnicity or religion of perpetrators, then there cannot be a correlation of crime rates to those populations! For what crimes that stubbornly remain, refusal to investigate ensures that such crime can be ignored by simple under reporting. What's left is a measure of crimes by the native population and a reliable way to shame and demoralize them into whatever machinations the globalist elites wish to pursue.
Exactly! Why, all these fringe voices should be doing the following:
"Hi everyone, it's me, Pseudonym, in order to support me, a fringe voice at risk of suppression by the establishment and far left lunatics, please send checks to:
Real Name 1234 My Address Some town, Cityville 10234
Ps. Please don't use my personal information to send death threats, harassment, or any other not nice things. Pretty please, with a cherry on top!"
I fail to see how this could possibly go wrong! This is a great idea if you think people should be doxing themselves at every opportunity! Definitely the kind of top notch thinking one has come to expect from neoliberal bootlickers and left wing hooligans.
I can see in the not-so-distant future insurance companies dinging people with higher premiums for purchases they deem "inappropriate". Screw the system. Likewise, I get penalized at work for not getting the annual physical, where they want to see blood panel, weight/height/BMI, and diabestes and cholesterol panels. I refuse out of principle, and my premiums are $50 month higher. It's all about control and I simply will not play the game unless and until it is illegal to do so, and even then there will be ways around it.
As if the socialized version would be any different? It still costs money for daddy government to pay for all your diabestes panels, people just think it's free because they're economically illiterate. You think that just because it's "teh people" paying your bills that no one is going to think about cost savings? LMAO.
They think they're creating the Star Trek utopia, but instead they're running headlong into Idiocracy. Don't need to think if the computer will do all your thinking for you. The automation craze is going to create some really dysfunctional culture when no one understands why they're doing something, they just know the Computer told them to.
Don't worry about it, it's 80% a startup funding scam. The vast majority of these projects will go under before they ever get a chance to endanger the general public with their shitty software. The brain trust in SV will throw money at any jackass who pitches some inane idea for "X but with AI" and "self-driving" cars. Luckily, most of these startups are either scammers, grossly incompetent, aiming at a $$$ payday getting bought out by some bigger fish, or some combination of all three.
By the time SV admits it was all bullshit they'll be on to some other techno-fad and we can breath a sigh of relief that a brownout isn't going to send the whole fleet of self driving cars careening into each other at top speed or some other calamity the SV geniuses failed to conceive of.
It feels like PROGRESS. The techo-bureaucracy has decreed that the serfs are not allowed to drive cars manually as it engenders an unhealthy sense of self-worth and self-sufficiency which is detrimental to the overall efficiency of the economy. Furthermore, by enforcing the complete reliance on automated cars, the techno-bureaucracy can ensure that all serfs will remain compliant with all future laws and regulations by taking them automatically to the nearest Happiness Center for psychological readjustment.
Remember, serfs, economic efficiency is the only thing that matters, and we will gladly sacrifice every single one of you on the altar of Progress to squeeze 1/4% more economic output. Any quaint and outdated notions like liberty and independence must be eliminated from the population in order to maintain our glorious Economy. Docile serfs are good serfs. That's a good serf, take your meds and watch your shows. They're rebooting another beloved franchise for the 11th time, you wouldn't want to miss out because you've been taken away to a Happiness Center, now would you?
In short, never use the word "it" to refer to people in the third person, most people would consider that offensive and generally showing a lack of empathy. Maybe you would have learned that if you took one of those humanities classes...
People think all kinds of stupid shit. Why should I care about this particularly foolish bit of inane, ideological horseshit? OMG someone said "it" to refer to a REAL HUMAN BEAN!! They'll be throwing people in ovens any second!! THE NAZI'S ARE COMING! THE NAZI'S ARE COMING! MUH EMPATHY!! REEEEE

Imagine thinking that a company motto meant jack shit in terms of actual corporate behavior. Congratulations, you fell for corporate PR mumbo jumbo.

Hot take: All Twitter accounts are junk accounts. CMV

The robbery just moves to a different venue as the hackers bleed you dry after stealing your identity.

some of those countries are international treaty signatories, but that doesn't mean they get to extradite Charlie Hebdo artists.
No, they just brought the Muslim extremists to the artists! If you can't deport, you must import!
Word order implies racism, bigot.

How many Chinese "firms" (read: Chinese government) scraped our precious data too?
Oh wait, China is the good authoritarian dictatorship. Not like those evil, sneaky Russians. China is a good boy, they dindu nuffin!
It'll also give the NSA a direct line into your brain meat. But that's a feature, not a bug in today's tech sector.
