Yeah, what Trump voters don’t realize is that the US withdrawing from NATO would mean an end to most of their soft power. You can have the biggest and most modern army in the world, but if you give up your bases all over the world you severely limit your way to project that power.

As opposed to what the propaganda talking points say, the US doesn’t have these bases to protect others out of the kindness of their hearts. It’s to project their military power, to be ready to strike within minutes, no matter where. This is an incredibly powerful position in the world. Giving those up will of course cost them less in short term, but in the long term it’s probably one of the biggest geopolitical mistakes in history, since they will probably not be allowed back once the bases are gone. And the money saved will quickly evaporate in the military budget.

This could probably be paid in full by lowering military budget by a tiny fraction.

Ironically, this could kind of be an answer to the main thread by itself.

Thank you, that worked. At least for the last few days.

I tried revanced for a while. It worked for a little and one day videos were suddenly buffering for 5 minutes at a time after around a minute of playing. I read online that it might have been yt measures against using a client like this (changing account or logging out didnt do anything. Browser played the videos fine)

Firefox with adblocker and the extension to be able to play in the background has been my savior. Works flawlessly.

Also the scene where Scotty knocks himself out. Also the rest of the movie.

90% of my recommendations are videos I have already watched.

“We took all the easy to reach resources. Better get used to being primitive, suckers!”

Exactly. It’s enough active users to have a stream of good content compared to what it was a few month ago. I’m enjoying my time here right now.

I used to buy logitech mice, but this is reason enough for me to never buy their products again.
