@coolboymew Let the record show that I am innocent of this.

>Thomasz Szabo, 26, of Romania
Oy! I'm offended by this accusation. That is an Hungarian name if I ever saw one. Most likely, if they insist he comes from my country, he's a Magyar. To be clear, not Romanian. Magyars have no loyalty towards the country.

Are these the guys that'd pester the one and only Tim Pool?

Also, as for why it doesn't do it, there could be a few reasons.
- it breaks time codes. People can't reference a section of the video while talking in the comments, because different ads lead to different video length.
- also breaks section/chapter time codes, though these could potentially be fixed on the fly if the ad algorithm decides on exactly which ads to serve you at the start of playing the video
- you can technically have insanely long ads. There's nothing stopping someone from putting a 8 hour livestream as an ad on a different video. Imagine watching a 3 minute video that serves an ad that is hours long...

On the technical side, I think it is doable. Since they control the encoding process, I'm sure they could literally just splice in the frames during play time if they wanted to. But it would be undesirable when it comes to user experience.

@mischievoustomato @zero
I was thinking about this a few months ago too, but then I decided to stop worrying about it, cause I'm afraid it would give YouTube ideas.

No, I am your father.

@eee @grey
Don't know who she is, but I wish her good luck.

@grey Yes and no. It's pretty obvious at this point that Twitch moderators are more anti-semitic than most of the people on here. The only reason Piker got suspended was because word got out that he had been showing support for terrorists. Which, even a terrorist realizes it's bad PR.
The suspension was issued because Twitch needed to save face in front of the mainstream media and advertisers, to be able to pretend "oh we definitely don't condone this kind of stuff". Piker discussing the manifesto is incidental. Not the actual reason.

What really happened: Twitch already started having trouble with advertisers, mainstream media uttered Hasan's name as someone problematic, so Twitch needed to take action to pretend it's still a safe platform. They searched for the first thing they could find to slap him on the wrist for. The manifesto was the most recent one. If it wasn't the manifesto, it would have been the next barely problematic thing.

If Twitch staff actually cared about antisemitism, or "Jew fee-fees" how you put it, a lot of people would have been banned (not just suspended) a long time ago. This is just a PR stunt, nothing more.

Oh yeah, explain this!

@Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty
Sargon being a monarchist would make some sense, considering his country does have a king. (though I avoid saying "his country is lead by a king" cause UK's monarchy has been defanged long ago).
Lately he's been using the term "traditionalist" to describe himself... which is interesting.

@LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter
Pretty sure he means Dev. Dev doesn't call himself classical liberal. I see him more like a 90s-2000s liberal, that can't accept what his side has become.

So he forced himself into a weird position, where he still wants to be the 90s liberal that blames all societies evils on the right and conservatives, but he also needs to push back on leftists, because he's aware that if left unchecked, it will cause a backlash that will empower the right.

Which is not exactly new, a lot of political commentators realized this about the current leftists. But most simply focus all their power on attacking the left, because they know the right by itself doesn't actually have any bite right now.

Dev on the other hand, pretends we're still in the 90s, and that the right is just as powerful and dangerous as antifa commies. Because at his core, he is a liberal leftie, and he just uses the "centrist" label as a cover for his instinctual need to attack the right by default.

@Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty
If I had a penny for every time someone wasn't on good talking terms with Dev...
He still manages to hold onto a decent public image, but I swear, behind the scenes there's probably something deeply wrong with him.

Hasan Piker was banned for a whole 24 hours.... Twitch is such a joke.

@Mr_NutterButter @LukeAlmighty
>They got into an argument in a d&d campaign
Again?! I know they've had campaigns for years, but I don't follow their D&D stuff. But every once in a while Vee will mention that there'll be an argument with either Dev or Rags that derails things.

@BasedLunatic @mischievoustomato
There are some things I'm more old school, maybe dare I say it conservative, with. And if I don't see a person's face directly, their smile, if I can't shake their hand, or hug them, it just feels awkward for me to use the word "friend". I've had friendly feelings towards people online. Absolutely. There are people I like, who I enjoy talking with.

But there is something about the online separation that makes it different. I could close this account right now, make a different account under a different username somewhere else, literally no one would know, and I could instantly break every relationship I have here. That's not something I can do IRL.
Friends either know where I live, or know other friends of mine that do. I've got friends that know my family. I can't instantly break offline friendships by just changing a phone number and ghosting them. And the same goes the other way around. It's easy to lose track of someone online, it's harder to do it offline.
So as much as I might like someone, this ultimately tells me there is something fundamentally different between a friendly relationship here, and one IRL.

I don't think it has to do with atheism. I think it's a more conservative view of things, and atheism and conservatism are not that correlated.

@mischievoustomato @BasedLunatic
I don't think I've ever called someone a friend if I didn't meet them IRL.. I can like them, consider them close, value them, care about them, but using the word "friend" for someone who I never met feels weird to me.

@icedquinn
Clueless shark? You mean this one ?

How to pretend you don't watch porn:

step 1: wait for YouTube to introduce a new feature
step 2: some time later post: "wow, I can't believe Pornhub stole this feature from YouTube!!!"
step 3: wait for literally everyone to correct you, letting you know Pornhub had the feature long before YouTube
step 4: ???
step 5: profit

Felt delete, might cute later
