Why does nobody point out that they called THEMSELVES “Redskins”, not because of the natural color of their skin, but because they would paint their faces red? I’m referring to the actual Reskins, not the football team. I swear, people get offended by shit because they don’t understand and misinterpret things. Sure, if you Google it now, all you get are stories about how racist it is because that’s the narrative they want to paint. Before all of this politically correct bullshit started it was understood where the name came from. It was something that was written about in books from the 1800s. It would be nice if people would learn to use actual sources for their information rather than Google and historians who weren’t alive at the time. There are actual sources that explain all this. A source is someone who was actually there. I have a library of books from the early 1800’s going forward. They are written by actual sources and contradict so much of what Google and politically motivated historians claim about numerous things. “Do your own research” doesn’t mean “Google it”. The Internet has made people lazy and easily manipulatable. I’m not saying I’m above it. I’ve fallen for the lies too. That’s why I started collecting as many books as I could that explain history from the people who were there when it happened.
I like dogs like I like toddlers. It’s fun to hang out with other people’s for a while, but ultimately they’re annoying, loud, and make a mess. I feel like in the past 10 years or so, dog owners have become increasingly convinced that everyone thinks their slobbering, untrained mutt is god’s gift to everyone, and expects...
That doesn’t happen where I live. Only service dogs are allowed in most businesses, and I see one of those maybe 3 or 4 times a year. The only place I see dogs brought inside are the pet stores that allow/encourage it.
I think op means why should they, as an individual with no ability whatsoever to have any affect on the situation, care about it.
I think that question should be asked about everything. There are people who have anxiety, depression, addiction, and other life altering results of stressing over things that they ultimately have no control over.
The conflict has been going on for longer than anyone alive today has been around. Many people who did have the power to affect it haven’t been able to, so why should any individual with no power at all need to care about it?
I have strong feelings about it and I think it’s probably the last, or next to last straw that causes WWIII, but I don’t really think about it much. I don’t read the stories. I don’t argue about it. I don’t wring my hands, because I accept that there is nothing I can do about it.
Does this only apply to companies with physical operations in the UK? If it applies to all internet entities, then how do they enforce it on a company from another country? If it’s only UK based businesses, then what’s the point? Kids can go to a site hosted in another country.
I understand that Russia is the aggressor and stuff. However, posting combat footage of people dying while playing funky music is disrespectful and disgusting. No matter how “bad” you think that person is.
You know that people are making videos of people getting killed while funky music is playing, so I assumed you had watched it. I’ve never even heard of it until you mentioned it.

I’ve never seen any of that. I would assume you’d have to go looking to find it. I just subscribe to comedy and tech channels. They’re pretty much the same channels I subscribe to on YouTube. I just try to use alternatives to YouTube whenever I can.
I mainly use Searx, MetaGer, and DDG. Most of the people I know are not fans of Google. I’m a little more privacy conscious than most of my friends, though. Most of them have FB and IG accounts. I don’t post anything on social media unless it’s as anonymous as it can be.

I have 90+ very short videos (around two or three minutes each) that I'd like to share with some family and friends. Is there a good free place to host them?
I’m not in love with YouTube, and it only lets me upload a small number a day. Is there a good alternative?
