A trash heap where it fucking belongs.

There isn’t a thing that you can put ketchup on that a good BBQ sauce or hot sauce isn’t better on. I will die on this hill.

Looks like what I’d want to use, but to reach broad support it needs a Windows client as well.

Nick is a goddamn treasure and I will fight anyone who thinks different.

despite that being a dictionary definition of bigotry

Well, here is the dictionary definition of bigotry.

It fits both Alito and anyone who dislikes his views. I wasn’t aware the definition was so broad but it basically applies to everyone who dislikes anyone else’s view on anything.

Yes, I get that. I was finally able to find several news sites reporting the amount of money funnelled to Israel in order to ensure the US has a small foothold in that area of the world. It seems a tad excessive, but politically understandable I suppose. Allies in that region are valuable, but goddamn that’s a lot of money.

I also saw that this most recent payment structure was guaranteed for a certain time frame by Obama. Breaking the agreement off would be breaking treaties and guarantees. Not a great thing to do for America, but what’s going on over there is not exactly a good look. I think that I now agree that Biden should pull aid from Israel.

Again, thank you for the discussion and explanations. It’s nice when people respond instead of just mindlessly downvoting someone who is asking for details.

So… (and again, I’m trying to parse the situation, not attacking so I’m asking all three respondents here the same question so I get a range of replies) Biden has been funding the war specifically and giving Israel weapons? Why? To what end? And please don’t say genocide because that’s not a tangible reward result for Biden or America. If they are doing the above, what do they get from it?

Understandably, they may have done so after WW2 and the creation of Israel to keep a “friendly” state in the region. That part makes sense.

So don’t jump down my throat please but I don’t understand this article. I have a couple of question that I would like an actual answer to and haven’t seen addressed anywhere else:

“Team America World Police” was a mockable idea back in the 90s and early 2000s because America stuck its nose everywhere - wanted or not.

Now here I see people attacking a president because he will not interfere in something that shouldn’t be America’s business? As far as I was aware, America leaving other countries the hell alone would be a good thing on the world stage, no? Why not get mad that any sitting president hasn’t interfered in the Uyghgur Genocide? Why just this?

Why is this particular conflict that has been ongoing for ages something worth blaming a current president for not interfering in?

The only thing I can really find online in the news are Republicans blaming Biden for the attacks on Israel which doesn’t make sense with the response here. What the heck is going on?

I don’t have a stance on this, I’m just trying to understand because it doesn’t make sense to me so please don’t take that as aggressive.

Edit: Downvotes? For trying to figure out an international situation? Man, I don’t understand you sometimes, Lemmy. You can be so nonsensically goddamn hostile…

Ah! A few ways to do things:

1. Go into the YouTube “three dots” options and you can “Create Clip” which will allow you to shave out or repeat any length of video you want. If you shave it out, you can make it private and just repeat the single video. and / or
2. Use any YouTube download site (say like this one) and just get the MP3 or video which you can play over and over using any media player. and / or
3. If you’re on a phone, use a third-party YouTube app like GrayJay and it’ll block ads.

If you have questions, ask away!

But manually looping any part of it inside the video which you can do past the first 2 minutes would still not be an ad. Also, who doesn’t use an ad blocker on YouTube? All of those problems that you listed have incredibly easy solutions that you can execute with zero training.

And realistically if they are looking for profit (and they absolutely are) I still see no reason why they would keep these up. The benefits are absolutely minimal at best and the drawbacks are quite large.

Sometimes they are, if it’s just audio and a static image. Some of them definitely are not that though. The ones with visualizers or full music videos or the like are not nearly as compressible.

So to combat use cases like this, why not just add a repeat option? There would be no break if it cached the beginning again.

Also just download the audio you want and loop it yourself. It would take roughly 2 minutes and use way less bandwidth.

I wonder why they would kill old videos instead of just removing those 10-hour plus loops of the same song over and over again that nobody watches. You’d think those giant loop videos would be taking up far more space.

I mean, we were just fine before them. Some would even go so far as to say “way, way the fuck better.”
