idea: opt-in mutual aid union of online content creators collectively bargains to form an arrangement with this board who will represent them in fair use disputes. might be the source of professional and academic clout needed to protect creators from abuse and give them some kind of leg to stand on. maybe use the EFF as a middleman to serve lawsuits built on evidence assembled, organized, and cross-referenced by this content advisory board.

- Comment on Tea Time 1 week ago:
Beef tea was when people would boil jerky to rehydrate it. I actually do that at work sometimes! Most nights I enjoy bouillon broth on its own, but occasionally I’ll spruce it up with a little jerky, and it actually thicken up and get more tender! It also GREATLY enhances the flavor of the broth. When the dry night air of the office is bothering my throat, nothing satisfies quite like warm broth.
(I get hot water by not putting any coffee grounds in the coffee machine. I also use this to prepare tea on occasion, and also ramen cups every once in a blue moon)

Hell YEAH they should unionize!!! YouTube has m effectively NO system in place for recourse when their shitty system fucks up and decides to nuke someone’s channel - Such as, when “supporting subject a” is against YouTube policy, a channel may make a video criticizing others who support “subject a”, YouTube’s stupid algorithm will punish them FOR AGREEING WITH YOUTUBE and never actually manually review their shit when it fucks up. A union can grab YouTube by the nuts and FORCE THEM TO LISTEN and that is painfully needed. Unions force power structures to listen to democracy and I like democracy. MORE UNIONS! the people DOING the fucking work need to be heard!
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 2 months ago:
Yes - AND I like that being a premium subscriber compensates creators I watch EVEN WHEN they are otherwise “demonetized” - like, if they cover news and the news contains upsetting information, YouTube will reduce their ad exposure. But my views still award them as much credit as ever, and count for, like, dozens of ad-supported views under normal circumstances.

ULTRA
INSTINCTCAMP! ABSOLUTETERRITORYABSURDITY! INFINITEPOWERWAIT NO DEFINITELY POWER!Bravern RADIATES enough deep fried corniness, cheesiness, and ham to feed a midwestern american state fairground for seven consecutive years per episode.
I love every second of it.
Especially how the other characters are just barely self-aware enough to be internally (and sometimes externally) screaming WHAT THE FUCK, like they’re experiencing a persistent fever dream, bad trip, or mass-hypnosis.
It’s nearly my favorite part when Bravern looks DIRECTLY into the camera, yells BANG BRAVERY, and BRAVERN ZUBASHES EVERYTHING and how that literally happens almost every episode.
My ultimate favorite part, though, is
spoiler
when Isami tells Smith, in the MIDDLE of an impromptu boxing match, “Our enemies don’t make a damn bit of sense. The only way to beat them is with something that makes even less sense, and that’s Bravern.”
THAT LINE GOES HARD
…
it is implied that several things are going hard in that scene though XD
and that’s goddamn beautiful. - Comment on Sasaki to Pii-chan • Sasaki and Peeps - Episode 11 discussion 3 months ago:
pretty sure she’s the same magical girl as we saw the previous time. You can tell because of her outfit: she’s still wearing the pelt of the fairy creature that infused her with power as a scarf, just as she described previously.

One thing about Sasaki-san is that a defining part of his identity as a person consists of his traditional roots: he is humble, diligent, and loyal. He is loyal to his nation, Japan, and the Bureau is serving that nation. It is an extension of his homeland’s will, and he respects the service it performs for Japan. Their goal is, as stated, the regulation of psionic paranormal phenomena. Events have demonstrated the necessity of this mission. It is solely through his calm, rational professionalism that several potential conflicts have been de-escalated. Sasaki-san is the essential ideal agent of such an organization, at least in terms of his ethics and interpersonal skills. Everyone benefits from cooperation and he generates cooperation like it’s his actual superpower. I admire it quite a bit!

Only the keys need to be stored cryptographically, really, because the game files themselves are nigh inevitably available on torrenting networks. it’s inevitable that people are going to rip backups of all game files for the delicious delights of datamining and as long as enough of them will seed them (which shouldn’t be a problem as long as there’s any INTEREST in a game existing…) that availability never arises as an issue. And if it’s not popular enough to put there, it’ll probably end up on The Internet Archive.
Would be nice if there were an infrastructural ‘backup of last resort’ such as the library of congress, which is something the LoC already does for other audiovisual media. It’d just be nice if that service were extended to software.
