It seems like I will only watch either a 15 min video or a 4 hour one. I just don’t seem to like the very short form video format. It does allow enough time for even a single subject.
With one exception, I’ll watch a lockpicking lawyer at any length.
In terms of who the propaganda is meant for and works on, it’s really an internal-facing apparatus handing down false or misleading information and narratives (and censoring true or clarifying information and narratives). The peddlers are ruling class interests that usually span Israel and Western countries, not existing in just one. Large corporations, the military, your local cops, PR firms, think tanks, lobbyists, etc etc.
While Israelis have a pretty fucked up culture and I’m not letting them off the hook, the primary divide in terms of who is creating propaganda vs. consuming it is ruling class vs. everyone else.
We went to this new local spot that opened up on the corner by our house and it’s pretty solid. So my bro in law took some of his friends when they came to visit and just destroyed the place. They knew too much about the food and even noticed the panko crusted shrimp appetizer was just the frozen one you can get at Costco. Haven’t been back since just because of my world being shattered
In case you didn’t know, Münecat recently uploaded a three-hour video debunking evolutionary psychology: youtu.be/31e0RcImReY
I figure the overlap between hbomberguy and münecat viewers in the Venn diagram is basically a circle, so that should help if you have an hbomberguy craving.
There’s a lot of YouTubers that started doing big videos like that and i just don’t have the time to watch something like that and give it all my attention. Same with caddicarus, used to watch both of these a lot but since they started having massively long videos i just haven’t bothered with them in ages
You definitely don't have to watch it all in one go. I usually just watch however much of it I want to watch that day and then send myself a time stamped link to pick it back up whenever I have the time and interest again
Of course if you're just not interested that's totally fair
At that point, you’re basically just listening to podcasts. Leaning into it might be a good choice, since there’s no visual element that gets lost when listening to podcasts, as compared to YouTube videos.
I would guess 80% of the people who watch these aren’t actually watching them. Hell, background play is the real reason I pay for YouTube Premium. Not having to worry about ads is a nice bonus.
Yeah I pretty much stopped playing competitive games completely. I really like playing with friends so I play a lot of coop. A way out and it takes two were some excellent coop games. Escape simulator and escape academy as well, if you’re into puzzles.
As a parent I don’t have the time for multiplayer gaming.
Sometimes I feel like picking up an MMO. Nostalgia is calling for TBC Classic. But then I remember that I’m not going to have this combination of desire and time to play again for like a week, at least.
And I’d spend all my available time tonight just installing it and getting it working.
And then forget it’s installed.
And then next time I can play, it needs to patch.
That’s not way to play an MMO, especially one where I’d be paying $15/Mo for what amounts to a couple hours of playable time.
