Honestly, I think the entire world that learns English as a second language wishes Americans a sincere "FUCK YOU" for inventing the word Mississippi.

@mischievoustomato I see... that's the difference. I don't spend much time on twkn anymore. And I definitely don't make accounts on instances I'm not familiar with before hand.

@mischievoustomato
I'm starting to get concerned as to how you're finding these, and how do you know they're pedo instances?

@maxmustermann
I've been on here long enough to see similar things, if not worse, being said to target Jews, black people, and trans people too. So let's not pretend that the violent rhetoric is somehow limited to "troonshine" drinkers.

Maybe I should just give up on the internet... how the fuck are you people still posting these soyjack comics? I get a visceral disgust reaction every time I see one. You ever seen one of those botched trans surgeries? My disgust towards a soyjack is probably a few times over what those bring up. So again, how the fuck are you people still postings these abominations?

Actually 🤓, all roads lead back to chess.
iirc, chess might be one of the oldest games we know people played.

You're running into the she issue again, Watch Dogs was GTA meets Assassin's Creed. Open city always leads to GTA.

@Shlomo He knows Ukraine will send him back on the battlefront. If he takes Russian citizenship, there's a chance Russia won't risk sending him to fight, because he could still be loyal to Ukraine and sabotage their stuff.

I wonder, what are the chances I accidentally stumbled upon a next HoloEN member?

@maxmustermann
Unfortunately, no can do, because:
1) They may be a minority, but they're a decently sized minority that has political power because they're more unified than any minority group you can think of (yes, even Jews). When their politicians say "vote for X", 90% of them will vote how they're ordered to. There hasn't been a government in recent memory that didn't ally with the Magyar party (UDMR) to form a majority in parliament. We're always guaranteed at least one Magyar politician in our government.
2) We've had better minority protection laws than even most of Europe for decades now.
3) Magyars are not evenly distributed throughout the country. As such, they actually form the majority of the population in the counties they mostly live in. And it is quite possible for Romanians living there to be the ones facing discrimination.

Even if you had the political will and decided to ignore the laws, geography and population distribution wouldn't allow you to mess with Magyars. They'd be the ones to fuck you up if you tried.

>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.

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.
