He doesn't need to, they can just scrape the videos and have fake users post them on his site.

I get the feeling that you like China a lot.

Of course the Chinese government is going to give Americans a warm welcome on their propaganda app. You're not going to see chinese people talking about Hong Kong, Uyghurs, Child labor. They could easily go to jail if they did any of that.

What difference does that make exactly? Everybody hates the guy, literally every American is ready for him to fuck off.

They could even make it look exactly like Google. What's Google going to do about it? Get wrecked is what.

I'm voting for Jimmy Carter in 28' and we'll just pull weekend at Bernie's.

I read something years ago that you should always at least acknowledge people. If I try to say hello or how are you, etc to someone passing by and they don't acknowledge me back, especially if they're in a position "above" me, then I lose all respect for them immediately.

I would just buy houses in fancy HOA neighborhoods and let homeless people live there.

I got lucky on the fact that I'm old now so I was able to buy a house in 2014 with a low interest rate. I also live in a low cost of living area, my mortgage, which includes property taxes and house insurance is $1k/mo. The majority is that goes to taxes and insurance, interest is about $60/mo. I have 5 more years on the 15 yr mortgage. I've gotten lucky that we've not had to have any major repairs in the past ten years, but I was looking for houses that were who built with good roofing and hvac systems since those are the two killers. The house has a lot of dated aesthetics from every decade from the sixties onwards, but that stuff is easy and cheap, plus you're probably going to do that kind of stuff anyway.

 

We recently purchased a new (to us) family car and I've been addressing some of the neglected maintenance items. The low beam headlights were extremely dim, yet the high beams were very bright. Incandescent bulbs become dimmer over time. I purchased some which were recommended by the forum for my specific vehicle for only $15 on the rain forest site. They are quite a bit brighter now and I feel much safer driving at night.
