They work on other instances, just not this one. I saw the other couple of posts about this issue, but they're old and it sounds like it's supposed to have been solved.

Image of the problem in Voyager, but it also happens if I try to open the post in a browser

It literally costs them money to make YouTube worse so that you can pay them to make it better again. NewPipe go brrrrrr

"Okay, do you have an alternative, or are you just gonna whine? Eat up!"

They probably did this specifically because people were upvoting our favorite plumber.

Can you clarify? Are you calling CGP a grifter, or did he just make a wrong prediction?

[–] Probius@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Yep, if they're funny to you, then good for you. I'm not trying to claim that she's objectively bad or anything like that. I'm just explaining why a lot of people don't like her.

She used to be pretty funny years ago, before she started focusing on hating her haters instead of making actual funny stuff. She started doing things like making a comic she knew would piss off some bigots in the comments, then making another comic (or a few) making fun of the people that hated on her to farm karma from the people who saw the original comic. Some people like that. It's just a bit too toxic for me. I blocked her account a long time ago, so idk what she's making these days.

Some people don't like her because she makes a lot of comics that are like, "Haha, I have portrayed myself as the chad and you as the wojak, therefore I am superior!" Without having any actual comedic value. Example 1, Example 2 (both are reddit links, you have been warned).

She also threatened r/bonehurtingjuice with legal action to make them ban remixes of her comics, something not even Stonetoss (the Nazi comic everyone hates) has done.

It should be illegal to revoke or modify people's purchases. All games should be able to be kept and played using the version you bought it at except maybe MMOs due to technical reasons. Forced updates and DRM need to be outlawed.

Could a state order all businesses operating in that state to stop paying taxes?

[–] Probius@sopuli.xyz -1 points 2 weeks ago

That would mean that the corporations basically paid people's taxes for them, right? Wouldn't that just get factored into salaries?

 

Just hypothetically, if a state decided to stop receiving money from the federal government as well as intercepting and/or stopping federal income tax payments, could they do it? What might the consequences be?

Please be respectful so that rule 5 doesn't get broken.
