Depends on what “right to exist” means here.

“This is annoying. Fuck those lefties for forcing me to have to deal with this, fOr ThE eNvIrOnMeNt.”

I think it’s a bit concerning that AI has given us a gut reaction to suspect anything slightly unusual to be non-human generated.

“Remember Y2K and all the chaos that was supposed to happen? Computer nerds scared everybody into updating everything and make it ‘y2k proof’ or whatever and then it was a whole nothing burger.”

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer? Scientists made us ban CFC’s like we were going to die of skin cancer any day now and then nothing bad at all happened.”

None of the above? I have certain traits that society thinks are weird. That’s about it. I’m neither cursed nor gifted, I just very much don’t fit the definition of “normal”.

The delist is presented as a big operating “loss” to tax authorities.

I have absolutely no fucking idea how taxes work. But this sounds to me like I have insurance on my hand and I sit down one evening with a knife and cut off my hand and then go to my insurance company, showing them my bloody stump: “gib money!”

wtf.

XnView should meet those requirements, as far as I can see.

Depends on what country. But in general, probably because the departments responsible tend to be understaffed and overworked, regardless of where, and there are quite a lot of migrants.

My first thought was indeed Blinding Lights.

Because of the general culture and mindset. Haven’t found that anywhere else. That mindset also means they’re going to get a whole lot of poison in their datasets.

I don’t see why it would be so unlikely to be cellophane but OP would have to test it.

Hello everybody all around the world! Wanna join this super duper awesome fun thing? Only if you’re in the US though!

(Not that I’d want to)

In Germany, generally, students are expected to bring their own stuff, it’s not the school’s/teacher’s responsibility to provide pencils and what not. That’s probably where the confusion lies, there is no scenario in which a teacher has to specifically ask parents to provide supplies because they do that anyway.

He’s also actively picking fights with supporters of trans and non-binary people, such as recently David Tennant of all people.

You brought up specifically HD. I’m willing to watch ads so that YT can continue delivering even lower quality videos as long as those ads don’t interrupt the video.

“This person conducts themselves with a confidence that usually comes with physical traits typically considered desirable.”

So hide the HD stuff behind a paywall. I’m perfectly happy at 720p for the VAST majority of videos. Might even agree to go lower if it means I can watch it without ad breaks.

Oh come on, really? Is the problem ultrarich people? Or is the problem poor people who won’t eat those ultrarich people?

Just maybe avoid watching it in a way that the creator profits from.

I like that too and I don’t understand why people are so very fundamentally against having stuff recommended to them based on what they’re already following.
