MutatedBass , to piracy in How do you WEB-DL now that StreamFab and KeepStreams are broken?

Seems to be available on 1337. Other than that I found a dead torrent on a private tracker. I could make a reseed request for you if you find that the releases on 1337 aren’t up to your standard. If someone reseeds it I could make a torrent for you or upload the episodes to some cloud drive.

White supremacy and the nazi ideology are ass to ass. The only thing they didn’t share was their hatred for Jews but guess who domesticated that ideology? Neo-Nazis.

I though it was ass to mouth.

I legitimately would throw away anything anything that did this. I’d throw it off the roof and link a video to their social media account.

Alenalda ,

am i missing something here? this is what most video streaming sites already do just in speech form rather than pressing a skip ad button.

nexussapphire ,

In any regular situation you can leave the room and come back a few minutes later to your content playing. This potentially will play the ad on repeat until you say what it is basically acknowledging you paid attention to it and know what they are advertising.

It’s a shitty pop quiz that doesn’t go away on its own. I hate intrusive ads with a passion and would give up modern convince to avoid it.

Most of the interactions described in the patents imply that the commercials wouldn’t be indefinite, instead just being like a regular commercial that you can fast forward or skip through by interacting, such as the patent description of throwing a pickle to “speed up” a potential commercial. An ad that requires user interaction to continue is awful indeed, and we already see something close to this with I believe Hulu ads asking which cut of a commercial campaign you’d rather see, but it seems like most of these are just trying to engage the user more in trade for less time intruding. If it really was just blindly saying a phrase to instantly end a commercial, I’d be concerned about what it does for people who exhaust their will to resist regular commercial exploitation, but I wouldn’t mind getting back to my show a little faster if I just can’t get rid of commercials.

Eldritch , to nostupidquestions in My dad fought the Nazi's they lost. The world knows it. What is the deal with their recent resurgence?

Its been a long slow boil. And Nazis were only part of the problem. In the early 1930s many businessmen and Republicans in the US plotted a Hitler style coup against FDR. They did worse than Hitler, but escaped most consequences. And over the last century quietly plotted and built. Here and abroad. Fostering the “right kind” of fascism. Theirs.

It probably would have gone on a little longer. Because I don’t think they were quite ready to actually try to coup again. But they’ve been socially engineering a new class of supremely manipulable Voters who lack any critical thinking skills. However a childish malignant narcissist managed to get the attention of that tool. And stole it from the Republican fascist. Basically largely spoiling the plot. And causing them to have to move before they were ready.

Also the ability for instance Global and often still largely Anonymous communication made propaganda easier and cheaper than ever before. The old style leaflet drops over territories were never very effective. And even radio broadcasts or easy to thwart. Now enemy Nations only need to pay a few people for online shitposting in hot beds lacking critical thinking. And they can turn their enemies people into their own tools.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Are you serious they pay people to troll? Kind of make me wonder how much and is it even worth it.

Eldritch ,

Definitely. In a lot of developing countries with basic internet access these people can actually make good livings doing that. As long as they’re skill in the foreign language is adequate enough. Though today a lot of that is being taken over by basic low-end generative machine learning models. Something else false information faster than it takes to debunk it.

Don_Dickle OP ,

So if I learn a couple languages and put a post on craiglist that I am a willing troll. I will get hired?

Eldritch ,

Not unless you live in a country with a low standard and cost of living. And not likely even then. Because even at a Payday they generally work ed for larger businesses and weren’t a freelance Craigslist sort of thing. That and here in the United States there’s too much free competition to really be effective for them to pay anyone over here as well.

Don_Dickle OP ,

Funny that you mention payday and am sitting here in the hospital eating one.

    wait she’s getting roasted for it? I haven’t seen that. It just looks like people are making fun comparisons to me.

    Millions of people died from COVID yet look how many denied its effects (and still do) and didn’t/don’t get vaccinated. Because it wasn’t happening to them right there in their faces (and in some cases it was and they still denied it on their death beds). If people can’t even learn from that as it happened in real time all around them, what hope do we have for people to care about and learn from things that happened 80-90 years ago?
