With their fingers. Why do you think we invented touch screens.

How about a pair of jeans?

If anyone wants to see an entertaining mathematician talk about this exact topic for 30 minutes, here you go:

Your final sentence is the point. We didn't have 1000s of nukes worldwide back then. If no one will dare to stop Russia attacking Ukraine with any meaningful amount of force under threat of nuclear war, why would anyone attack USA?

What about North Korea? Everyone knows what's going on there isn't right, but I don't see the world banding together to overthrow their government and change things.

I think the 100 men vs bear meme is pretty relevant here as well. It's one thing to say IF every country bands together they can take on USA, it's another thing entirely to say you could get the world to all agree to that at once. And whoever makes the first move would likely be decimated.

And you're right, if USA is backed entirely into a corner, Trump is crazy enough to press the nuke button. All it takes is him getting a few high up fanatics to go along with it. So the bear is also wearing a dead man's switch.

Parades close down the street with barricades/detours and such so cars don't have the option to dangerously drive at them.

You close the entire street

Right. You close the entire street, with barricades/detours and such. I don't know what parade you're going to but the ones I've been to don't parade down both sides of the street while giving cars the option to drive down them.

Funny how no one would be on the side of a driver driving into oncoming traffic. They're not acting like drivers unless you want to lump them in with absolute moron dangerous drivers.

Hold up traffic by staying in the proper lane and following road rules like cars and I'll be on their side.

No but how about do this but only in the proper lane? You're still causing attention/inconvenience, but it's a lot less likely someone is going to mow you down from behind over driving slowly behind you, versus riding directly into oncoming traffic.

I'm well aware but the people that have the ability to influence that couldn't care less. It's kind of like worrying about a nuclear war at this point, if it happens we're all pretty much dead, and 99% of us aren't part of the decision to launch them.

I've done/do as much activism on climate change that I can in the last 20 years. It's basically as pointless as petitioning those in power to dismantle their nuclear bombs. No one in power is interested.

Here's the part that scares me. The only reason those trials happened at all were other countries stepped in. Who will defeat USA and hold them accountable in a worst case scenario?

They did make themselves clear and I respect them sticking to their principles if nothing else. I just hope it was really worth it to them if the republicans actually pull off a dictatorship like they've been promising. Like good job sticking it to those dems in the one election they might not ever get to rectify it.

And I hope it was worth it to them the people getting caught up in all the bullshit, such as having their lives ruined, being sent to prison for life, and dying, in the next 4 years regardless of whether they stay in power.

Again, at least the genocide they were worried about was averted, right.

I'm in Australia so I don't need to make sure of anything over there, but I wish you all the best.

You can't sue for defamation if it's true.

Cool, people not voting out of principle because they didn't like the democrat enough is how the USA got here, but go ahead, keep trying that method.

At least Trump fixed all the overseas problems those people cared so much about, right?

When he tries to leave early on because he hates it so much they call him and offer a huge raise to get him to come back, so I think he's more than just a random data entry guy that could easily be replaced.

A lot of people don't actually realise just how much time passes between most episodes if you actually listen to context clues. Obviously there are some exceptions, but generally these shows are not supposed to be assumed to be real time in any sense. Some will have a thanksgiving episode and the next is Christmas or new years. People will mention they've been dating for months after a few episodes.

Some vaguely line up with being the week they aired in real life being the week it's supposed to be in the show. But think about what that would mean. You're seeing an entire week of their lives condensed into a 20-30 minute segment of highlights. Many episodes span several days of their lives. That means you're seeing maybe 5-10 minutes of each day the episode involves.

Also what exactly is this a picture of

It doesn't affect them getting paid, that's correct.

But It does negatively affect their stats which can affect their ability to grow and get that video/their channel seen more. Youtube tracks things like retention and watch %, it matters.

Every time I've tried to use an alternative it hasn't had anything that grabbed my interest. If you say I'm not looking hard enough, you've missed the point of why I'm currently on a short video platform instead of watching a TV show or movie. If I have to look hard you've already lost me.
