One of the ways to avoid a copyright strike is if you copy other people’s work, then what you upload must be “transformative” i.e. you have alter that source content significantly. Satire / Parody are two ways to do that.

But the cheapest, laziest way to “transform” content is to do reaction videos to it. And some people don’t even do that. They’ll just sit there, eating their dinner . . . occasionally glancing at the screen and going, “huh.” Lazy jerks.

You don’t get to define what evil is when you voted for the antichrist.

The Democrats suck but there’s a huge difference between voting for boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. Don’t make me tap the chart.

Your “friend” is an idiot. You should not share anything personal with her. This situation is NOT normal. Take a deep breath. Sit down and write out what’s going on between you and your dad. See if your state has a CPS website and find out what the process is for reporting abuse (and find out what they consider to BE abuse. I’m pretty sure deliberate starvation qualifies.).

Do you have any friends outside the home you trust and can stay with, short term? Cops aren’t going to be useful, here. They’re not CPS or mental health caregivers and they’ll probably just take you back home to your dad.

Capitalism today looks nothing like capitalism in the 1950s. Back then, a family could easily survive on the income of one person. With money left over to pay for college education, a car and a house.

That is not the situation today, where most Americans have NO retirement savings. Unless you’re redefining what capitalism IS, then that’s a problem caused by the people in charge (oligarchs).

A good sense of humor helps a lot. Also, if you want to avoid getting bogged down by nonsense, it’s a good idea to develop your critical thinking skills. That depends on having good sources of information that you trust.

There’s a huge difference between capitalism and oligarchy. What we have is oligarchy. All the worst parts of capitalism. 19th century robber-baron “capitalism.”

Karl Marx said a lot of things about socialism and collectivism a hundred years ago, but he’s not in charge anymore. The rich oligarchs who replaced him are saying this. You keep saying “but they SAID they were SOCIALISTS” and all I see is Sponge Bob’s eyes, filling up with tears because he just can’t believe that some rich assholes are lying to him.

We have people in this country who claim to be “christians” who literally elected the anti-christ. Trump embodies ALL the seven deadly sins, but those folks are just fine with it. So let’s quit pretending that belief systems can’t be exploited.

The people who told you what socialism or capitalism is, LIED to you. “The good of the people” is a noble-sounding goal. But the reality is that the people who deliberately seek power are . . . for the most part . . . vain, greedy, brutal assholes.

The point is that it’s a class war. It always has been. It’s not about “socialism vs capitalism” or “liberals vs conservatives” or The Romulans vs The Federation. It’s about billionaires vs everybody else. It’s about the cluefull vs the clueless.

Yeah, there’s nothing worse than a bunch of billionaire shitheads, using the media they control to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money. Oh wait, that’s what’s going on Russia, too.

There are no “good guys” here. Just billionaire assholes exploiting everybody.

Your “job” won’t be anything more complicated than putting screws in the back of iPhones for minimum wage.

No company is going to waste years and billions of dollars building a manufacturing plant in the U.S. if the Dynamite Monkey in Chief can destroy it on a whim.

This. Especially these morons rapping about “the Man keeping them down” when they’re literally working FOR “the man” and they’re covered in gold bling. Congratulations. You just made a bunch of rich, white record executives even richer, while doing NOTHING for the people you claim to care about.

It’s more obvious than a sunrise that Trump doesn’t work for America.

Yup. Musk is a 4chan shit poster with a really thin skin. He never grew up and he never WILL grow up. He’s “Poochie” from the Simpsons.

There is nothing as weak, delicate and fluffy as a MAGA.

In the US, it was probably called “Preview.” It was an over-the-air movie channel that needed a decoder box to view it.

They usually broadcast from a UHF TV station that had made a deal with HBO or CineMax (often nicknamed “Skin-a-Max” because they tended to show pron after 11pm or so). It was basically cable TV without the cable.

Narrator: The left did not, in fact, get everyone’s basic needs met.

Both Democrats and Republicans have been moving steadily to the right for the last 40 years. So Democrats are now where Republicans were in the 1980s: friends of banks, insurance and pharmaceutical companies. And the right has moved all the way into an insane asylum.

You should be using Lemmy instead of Reddit. It’s defederated, and it’s spread out over 600 Instances in many different countries. This way, one rich egomaniac can’t ruin it for everyone else.

Yeah, it was either Stardew Valley or Witcher 3 for me. (I wouldn’t last 5 minutes in Velen).
