Something I won’t ever do is answer for another trans person’s violence. One transfem did a shooting? Fuck off if you think I should go out of my way to “condemn” more than I would when the hundreds of right wing men do it. Happy to condemn you being an opportunistic little cunt about it though.

MY point is that Twitch has a bad habit of allowing pretty much anyone and anything to run ads. The denial of running ICE ads stinks of outright lying considering they had no problem running political ads for Trump, a man everyone knew would push the expanded use of ICE to begin with.

I repeat: If they're screening the ads they allow to run, they aren't helping themselves look any better. Allowing political ads at all is bad enough, but they've allowed the political ads and platforming of a man who actively seeks to erase groups of people from existence.

These guys have *literally always* made fun of anything and everyone. That's what South Park has always been. Why is the "jokes on thee, but not on me" mindset okay when that's all they are? (if that's all they are?) Please though, aggressively correct me if I'm reading this very wrong.

I don't know one way or another, as I haven't watched South Park since like...season 3? 4? But I'm confused how when they make jokes about minorities or marginalized groups, it's "bigotry in the guise of satire", but when they likewise belittle bigots or neutral topics it's "actual satire".

Until this announcement, there's been no indication that being able to rewind the stream would "interfere with Twitch's revenue streams," though. I just don't think FFZ could make the rewind function, honestly.

I'm still very confused when people say that Twitch is still combating Adblock. Adblock, both ABP and uBlock Origin, haven't been able to block ads on Twitch for a very long time, now. I know, because I never stopped using them.

Paywalling something that Youtube's crappy streaming experience treats as a basic function feels weird...

But at the same time, they're just paywalling something we can already do by going to the vod of the current stream. It's just a more convenient version of the same thing. I welcome the feature, but paywalling something that Youtube's kinda-crappy streaming experience has by default is also weird 😬

Octodad up there looks *very* stressed about you carrying all those sharks. 😅

And they can't get mad at him, either. He's under no contract for the project 🤣

Mind, I only pose this argument for the sake of the argument itself. I don't actually see a problem with people doing that kind of stuff.

If it's not okay when someone else is gaining monetary benefit from a small IP, why is it okay to do so with the bigger? While obviously not the same, it feels like calling the plot to scrape fractions of pennies from transactions in Office Space okay just because the business won't miss it.

Because that would require actual effort. So much easier to have the machine do the work for them!

Bold words for someone lazy enough to use AI to make part of their game. Deflections! Whataboutisms! Irrelevant questions!

Weird to see that rant coming from a draft dodger who wants a military parade for his birthday.

The Spectrum where I live was Charter before they bought up Spectrum and rebranded themselves. They've been decent, though it does irritate me that they keep raising the price by $6 every few years. Maybe Charter/Spectrum will be a change for good and fix a lot of Cox's failings.

Man, that would be nice. HDR makes games and videos look super pretty, but it's so much more of a hassle than it's worth.
