I highly recommend this podcast. He does a great job of differentiating what the different authors say and what are his own opinions. And he adds corrections to the episode when listeners point out his mistakes. The French, Haitian, 1848, and Russian revolutions really changed how I see the world. Be warned, they can hit dozens of episodes each.

The American and English civil war are OK, not Duncan’s fault, it’s just the non Anglo revolutions were better material IMO.

Did you see the cookie rocket debate? Very entertaining stuff.

most cringey clickbait thumbnails I’ve ever seen.

My man, is this the first YT thumbnail you’ve ever seen?

he’s for sure not someone the Joe Rogan crowd would be interested in watching.

Why, because popular YT formats are something the millions of normie Joe Rogan viewers all despise? I don’t know man, you do you. But popular formats by definition are something the masses are comfortable with.

The same Destiny that has alienated his personal relationships with everyone who’s ever cared about him?

The same Destiny threw a debate with shithead Ben Shapiro because he wanted to get invited back?

At least Joe Rogan believes the shit he shovels, Destiny is a pure grifter searching for more and more fame.

J Aubrey is a very entertaining long format YTer that explains many of the internet’s worst villains. His take down of grifters don’t target Joe himself, but help inoculate people from the “natural” hierarchies that dominate conservative thought.

Public opinions ain’t censorship bro.

Netenyahu allowed the deaths of over a thousand Israelis because he weakened the border. In ancient times, if any leader had a collosal fuck like this, they would be killed for treason.

Now idiots like yourself concern troll online so you can keep this fantasy that Netenyahu protects his own people.

You have a shitty memory. Israelis themselves make the argument that Netenyahu started this by weakening the Gaza border before Oct 7th to reinforce troops in the West Bank. Do Palestinians in the West Bank have the right to defend themselves?

And bombing a diplomatic building is a war crime, which Israel did when they targeted the Iranian consulate.

If you want to blame groups for a Biden loss then blame all those 2020 moderate Trump voters who still are sticking with Trump. Biden knifed many of his constituent groups in his shift to the right. And the polls in swing states are still as bad as they’ve ever been for Biden.

She was killed. The IDF fired three separate missiles and each one hit a vehicle in the convoy.

Imagine a gradient bar of red, green, or blue on a display. The latest displays show so many colors that the 256 shades in an 8-bits channel will show banding.

Banding is horrible for photo/video editing hence 10 bit displays that can show 1024 shades in a single channel which is more shades than our eyes can see.

HDR in gaming also uses 10-bit per channel, but it’s often a gimmick with current cheap gaming displays and might show banding even if there are technically 10-bits. OLED gaming monitors should be able to display 10-bit accurately though.

Tax payers aren’t the customers. Intuit is the customer here and they are buying income streams from politicians. It’s an artificial and unnecessary system.

Are we sure it’s AI?

I’ve heard of this scam happening maybe a decade ago with my extended family. The voice was a real person overseas with a lot of exp tricking grandparents. Scammers only had basic information.

They act as a freaked out kid and the victim gets roped in. They scam for thousands of dollars each time, even succeeding a few times a day would net a big profit. Also cell connections are low fidelity, I bet that aids their ability to trick the victim.

I heard from a bigger streamer. But I started believing it because feeds degrade lot more than YT. I constantly get connection issues more than any other streaming site.

I’m vested in some of these smaller streamers, so I don’t want them to lose their income. It feels like twitch is exploiting this sentiment because I’m not alone.

Twitch is run like a private equity acquisition. The rates they are forced to pay their parent company, Amazon, are above market value. Twitch’s services will get worse and worse for both streamers and viewers until all the equity is sucked dry. Late stage capitalism y’all.

When you read these stories just remember the leaders who profit off these products are shielded from their cost saving decisions. Late stage capitalism y’all.
