I'm an atheist. I have no religion. I get it, in your religion, solar panels are free.
Toilets aren't free, but they require every home have one of those, too (except in West Virginia, I think). In Texas, the state mandates that every house have heat, and furnaces aren't free.
You're not happy about solar energy. We all get that. But don't act like renewable energy is some kind of pie-in-the-sky myth. It just makes you look ridiculous. We've passed the point where solar panels now pay for themselves. Having one on a house actually brings down the cost of home ownership over time.
You and I both know it's ridiculous and debunked a thousand times over, long ago.
By whom?
It's not accidental that all the racists change party affiliation to GOP in the 60s and 70s. It's not accidental that the Democrat-founded KKK is now part of the GOP base. It's not accidental that the GOP openly courts the white supremacist vote.
Strat, you seem like an OK guy, but you're ridiculous if you don't see what's gone on right in front of our eyes, in our lifetime.
Isn't using blanket stereotypes for groups of people something the Left is always accusing those on the Right of?
Oh, you're absolutely correct. The election fraud in Tennessee is not limited to one party. That Athens, TN story is pure crazy. But you do have to remember that all of the progeny of those crooked Dem politicians later switched to the GOP after the Civil Rights Act was passed. They're still doing the same shit, but under a different flag.
Hey, look! More of the same smug condescension that cost you nearly a thousand legislative seats, most of the governorships, both houses of congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, and the good will of millions of two-time Obama voters who turned their back on exactly your sort of vitriol. Sill haven't figured it out, huh?
Tennessee has a long history of crooked elections. Add in the brazen corruption-on-steroids that's rampant in today's GOP and you've got a recipe for third-world status.
Did you know that one of the most notorious Russian troll accounts from the "Internet Research Agency" was "@TEN_GOP"? You can read about that account in the Mueller indictment. So clearly, Russia felt that Tennessee was fertile ground for it's psyops, and that pig-ignorant people like yourself would buy its bullshit as being authentic Tennessee discourse? I didn't make it up:
Unless you think they were using a WordPress plugin for voting, the systems were likely separate.
It was Tennessee. They were likely not counting the votes at all and just deciding on the results over drinks in a hotel ballroom.
Tennessee uses direct recording electronic systems without a paper record. You should have absolutely zero confidence in systems like this. They might as well not spend all that money on an election if they're going to use machines like this.
"Although the crash did not affect the vote tallies or the integrity of the election, this is not something that should happen,"
How the fuck do they know vote tallies and the "integrity of the election" were not affected? It's like all the people who say, 'Russian interference in 2016 didn't affect the outcome of the election". What else can they say? "Yes, the outcome was affected and now we're in no-man's land"? I expect to hear this a lot in 2018 and 2020: "We were hacked (meddled, colluded, ratfucked) but it didn't affect the outcome!"
The primary election continued, with the county announcing that Glenn Jacobs, also known as WWE wrestler Kane, won the GOP nomination by 17 votes.
Everyone who visits would be better off because the people enforcing the laws there would actually have incentive to do so against more than tourists. Dozens go missing there annually - usually because a local felt like attacking someone for being white and just dumped the corpse in the ocean, while the police there are complicit and work to conceal anything that happens.
Interesting. So, you're saying there are random white people being murdered in Hawaii.
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Captain James Cook. He was a white British explorer who was killed by native Hawaiians. That was in 1779, which I'm pretty sure was before Hawaii became a state. Also, British sailors killed 30 Hawaiians to retaliate.
I know you're flaming or trolling, but this is more or less why they actually did it. The only thing Hawaiians hate more than white people is America.
Only 10% of Hawaiians are from native Hawaiian descent. They're not the ones who got these laws passed and signed by the governor (who is not native Hawaiian).
we'd all be better off if they were just another occupied territory like Guam.
Can you explain how Hawaii being a state negatively affects you? How would you personally be better off if Hawaii was an "occupied territory". How would the average West Virginian, or Floridian be better off if Hawaii was an "occupied territory"? And when you say "we'd all", who is the "we"?
You need a data-based scientific approach and those who do that are certainly raising serious concerns about rising sea levels, ecological damage, droughts, floods etc. These are all extremely serious consequences but none of them has claimed that it will result in the extinction of life or similar doomsday scenarios.
Wow, you just changed the conversation to fit your argument. Where did I mention "extinction of life" or any "doomsday scenario"?
If your end of this discussion is evidence of your use of logic, I'd say you've already maxed out your ability to participate.
Other than lack of $4,000 for a guide describing effective methods of finding and negotiating with potential advertisers the way a local TV station
So, how much do you think it's worth? Remember, none of this is brand new. Local TV and radio stations across the US do this very thing every single day. Do you believe someone should be willing to do this work for you for free or on spec?
Put a dollar amount on the value of the service YouTube provides for free. Tell us what it's worth to you and then we can figure out whether you can or cannot afford to be a bigshot internet video star.
It's an interesting question..... How do you get preroll adds implemented for videos on independent websites?
The answer is staring you in the face...literally.
Television stations have been running ads on their video content for over half a century. Here's how they do it:
1) Contact potential advertisers and convince them you will reach their potential customers. 2) Have them send you their produced advertisements (usually via an ad agency) 3) You edit those advertisements into your content and broadcast them.
Now, what's stopping you from doing the exact same thing with pre-roll ads on your "indie-web" content? I mean, other than, " But it's hard!"
And for the record, someone earlier asked me to provide a guide to publishing video with advertisements without using YouTube. I have now done so, above. You're welcome.
Apple sold 52.2 million iPhones in the fiscal second quarter, up 2.9 percent from a year earlier. Analysts had projected of 52.3 million, on average
The headline says that Apple "beat sales estimates". I don't have a calculator handy, but I believe 52.2 million is less than the projected 52.3 million.
A dollar in Alabama goes a hell of a lot farther than a dollar in California.
Yeah, but then you're in Alabama.
You know, it's just amazing that so many right wing types are so obsessed with California. I seems like it's practically all they think about. You know what absolutely nobody thinks about? Alabama. Even the people in Alabama hate Alabama. They care so little for their state that half the voters wanted to elect a serial child molester as US senator. The #1 cash crop in Alabama is methamphetamine. They're #47 in education (behind Mississippi, for chrissake) and #2 in infant mortality. The entertainment at halftime at a University of Alabama football game is a cross burning. It's the fucking third world. Even without electricity, Puerto Rico is several steps up from Alabama.
No, it's part of my new anti-cyberbullying campaign. I've been appointed the Ambassador to Slashdot as part of the First Lady's efforts to combat online bullying.
I am indeed asking for a guide to help people who are switching away from YouTube learn how to efficiently "contact advertisers" and "show them how your content will reach their customers."
OK, what would you be willing to pay for this guide? Or do you expect that work to be done for you for free too?
What means would you recommend for a small-time video producer to sell preroll ad time and promote the videos to people who have watched videos with similar subject matter?
That depends. Do you expect to get this service for free?
And how does anybody sell advertising on a website? You contact advertisers. You show them how your content will reach their customers.
I think the question you are really asking is, "How can I get somebody else to do all this work for me, and provide it to me for free?"
How can we enable small publishers to produce and make available for watching: video for people to see on the internet, and connect with audiences, in a manner in which the videos cannot be taken down or censored by a third party?
Nobody's stopping you from putting up your own website and hosting your videos there.
But if you want to use YouTube's massive storage and infrastructure and promotional tools and enormous audience, and get all that for free, then you have to put up with them making the rules, however capricious.
