We repurchased 10 million shares totaling $1.2 billion at an average price per share of $119.

They are just greedy. They have the money, but giving the money to the rich is evidently more important.

What holds youtube from blocking all videos to addblock users just as other sites do?

It’s a constant game of cat and mouse, an arms race till the end of time. You can’t block videos from ad-block users if you can’t tell which users are using adblock and which are not.

I don’t understand why self hosted videos aren’t more popular

It’s quite complicated technologically, and requires quite a lot of storage space. Viewers only go where the creators go, and the creators have no reason to go to someplace that is more of a pain in the ass to host videos.

Shit like that is also a far, far better use of airspace/resources

It’s not even just that people don’t know about the green party, it’s that we are stuck with a voting system that is inherently biased against 3rd parties being viable.

If we can switch to a better voting system like STAR or approval, it would be far better for the green party.

And the existing parties would have to compete for once, which would go a long way towards making them not dumpster fires.

I agree, which is why I usually bring up both when it makes sense to do so.

At least with a knife, you can’t mow down a room full of people. Here in the U.S. dozens of people can be killed in a short time by a single person due to guns. We give them out like candy.

Both access to guns (force multiplier) and the underlying issue (poverty, lack of social mobility, etc) need to be addressed.

It’s not a perfect replacement, and I never claimed as such. But for most people’s needs, gimp is perfectly capable.

That, and Gimp is quite a capable photo editing tool.

Homelander is the type to side with oil.

it reads like whataboutism.

If you have problems with me saying ‘Isreal’s crimes are wrong’ without clarification about Hamas being bad as well then you should have first had problems with the guy saying “Hamas attacked Israel in the bloodiest assault in history”, implying everything Isreal is doing is morally permissible.

They clearly have a regard for civilian casualties.

People who bomb civilian areas do not care about civilians casualties.

And you inserted your own pro-Hamas

Saying that Isreal shouldn’t be killing civilians and doing ethnic cleansing is not pro-Hamas.

Neither party should be doing those things.

You can be against the Israeli government’s war crimes AND against Hamas’ war crimes.

I am.

Try it, having principals instead of an agenda is freeing and might feel good to you.

Perhaps you could try not assuming the worst out of people you don’t know.

When I say “indiscriminate” I mean “disregard for civilian casualties” not “random bombings”.

Please keep insulting me. I’m becoming so convinced you’re right.

But you Hamas supporters

I don’t support Hamas.

and only care about Palestine because they’re brown

No, I’m just against ethnic cleansing, which is what Isreal is currently doing and getting billions of dollars in support for.

Isreal shouldn’t be doing ethnic cleansing, nor should Hamas.

Your white guilt is so fucking lame 😂

It’s really a sign of intelligence to assume things of people you don’t know and have only ever spoken to on the internet.

Hamas doing something horrible doesn’t make it OK to starve the entirety of Gaza

Terrible thing Hamas has done

Hamas doing something horrible doesn’t make it OK to starve the entirety of Gaza

Terrible thing Hamas is doing

The U.S. is about to dump billions in military aid for Isreal.

Here’s France:

Amid fears the fighting to spiral into a wider regional war, French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Tel Aviv on Tuesday and told top Israeli officials that he came “to express our support and solidarity and share your pain” as well as to assure Israel it is “not left alone in the war against terrorism.”

not as an organized and permanent method of displacement.

Yeah right
