So everything now hinges on centrists and "moderate" conservatives not supporting fascists?

Terrific! It's not like that has ever happened before

Kleep!

… I'll get me coat

That's certainly a way to read this I suppose

I actually don't know much about him except that he's now the Führleader of the SD and supposedly a "moderate."

The problem I have with conservatives claiming to be moderates is that even the ones who believe murdering minorities and leftists is a legitimate political platform think that they're "moderates". Must be something to do with conservatives being spineless fucks.

I saw a gAmEr complaining about all the woke things in Starfield, and he listed things like "unattractive females" and "accents".

So yeah, if feeeeeeemale in my vidya no make pp hard = WOKE POLITICS. Also if foreign people in my vidya = WOKE IDEOLOGICAL PANDERING

And it's not like I'm Jewish or a leftist; surely the brownshirt leopards won't eat my face

According to conservatives "politics" is apparently only something the nasty evil Others™ do, just like everything everybody else does that they don't like is "ideology".

Because studio executives – just like the executive of most other companies out there – have realized that they don't need to actually innovate or risk putting money into uncertain new projects, when they can just take something that's already been done, try to pretty it up a little, and then sell it to people who'll go see it based on name recognition.

Why take a risk with new IP, when the old IP that sort of worked is already there? Just give it a new coat of paint and sell more of it instead, fire some workers (I'm sorry, "rightsize" the company), buy another yacht. Problem solved.

Mom, they're taking NCD shit seriously again! Tell them to stop!

Every time somebody says something like "I could have done that" (especially if they're being dismissive of somebody's achievement), it brings me great pleasure to say "but you didn't."

I'm in my 40's and trans, and ever since I was a child I knew I didn't fit my assigned gender and it just felt… wrong. Took me a long time to understand this was me being trans and not me being "broken" somehow, thanks to a conservative upbringing, but basically I've known all my life.

What, you don't have a poop roller?

"It ain't honest work, but it's much"

If you want to protect your privacy against viewers of your videos, how you upload them to YouTube makes more or less no difference. With this scenario the question is how much information are you leaking in your content, and that'd cover everything from writing style idiosyncracies to anything that can be used to potentially identify eg. where you live and so on.

If you're worried about "malicious hackers", then the question is who are these potential hackers you're protecting against? Would they be attacking Google or you? If it's you, then how you upload things to YT is again completely meaningless. If they're attacking Google and get far enough to actually exfil data, what they'd actually be able to get out of it is anybody's guess. Using a VPN and a throwaway email is probably good enough in any case.

Who are you protecting your privacy against here?

Because if it's Google, then why on earth would you want to upload content to YouTube in the first place?

OK, let's say you didn't give them your phone number and masked your voice. If you're not connecting over a VPN or something like Tor, they still have your IP address.

OK, you now use a VPN, but your browser can still be very effectively fingerprinted and that fingerprint could be nearly unique.

And so on and so on. And this isn't even going into metadata in & about your video files that could be used to fingerprint the system they were done on.

Ah, good idea putting the fire in the tent, that way the fire will stay warm
