my only thought is they can only "save face" at this point and it would require a regime change along with a dramatic shift in policy towards the west and profuse apologies. doubt that will happen so im fully prepared to live out my remaining life watching ruzzia become a giant failed pariah state. the west will beat them into submission again.

/. mentioned THREE-BODY DISEMBIGGENED that is a "Fan-edit of 'Three-Body' created to help viewers avoid 22-hour commitment needed to watch the show..." It also mentioned that thie full Chinese TV series is on Amazon Prime (not free though).

This submission is missing the actual video

Cop egos shut down 100% of policing that night, because they refused to listen to the prison about overcrowding. No one available to stop a burglary, we’re too busy measuring each other’s dicks. Proves crime isn’t their priority, it’s you respecting their authority, your submission, and their power trips that are.

The prison requested a major crime sweep be delayed due to overcrowding, no room in the jail, but the police ignored them and did it anyway. The Sheriff then prioritized Sheriff prisoners and refused prisoners from the raid, triggering a standoff that nearly became a shootout.

This is how POLICE respond to police. Zero respect, non compliance, lots of “I dare you”, getting their rifles ready, etc. , then they still think they deserve respect and compliance from citizens. They deserve to be treated exactly like this daily until they get their shit together. Disrespectful egotistical assholes, every one there….meaning every single cop in the area.

Aaaaahahahahaha!! Trump is threatening to sue CNN for saying he’s a big liar spreading his big lie. His claim….it’s his “belief”, so when he says it he’s not lying…not that it’s true, not that he can prove it, just that he believes the lie and that magically makes it not a lie.
He will never sue because 1) he has no case at all 2) he’s terrified of discovery and they would gain access to all the Jan 6 documentation he’s hidden from the committee, and 3) it’s a slapp lawsuit, which he would lose badly and be forced to pay millions in restitution and punitive damages for a frivolous lawsuit designed to silence critics….to anyone he sues.

Derp! What a sad, powerless little bully, enraged that no one takes his threats seriously anymore.

Also, his Saudi Arabia PR golf tournament is losing him so much Republican support. The FBI has said definitively that the Saudi government was directly involved in 9/11…not just the 15/19 terrorists being Saudis, but Saudi intelligence agents supplied them with funding, lodging, and “travel assistance”.
Trump was well aware of this, but chose to keep it secret to protect the crown prince and billions in arms sales. Biden declassified this information and stopped protecting those that attacked America.
Birds of a feather….no wonder Trump likes the terroristic draconian Saudis. I wonder how 9/11 Rudy feels about it.

Side note, the sedition caucus voted against helping victims of human trafficking. Their press conference celebrating protecting perpetrators of human trafficking was disrupted when Gaetz was asked if he’s a pedophile and instead of answering “no” he and the rest literally ran away in fear.

Second side note- Republican senator Mike Braun has said the quiet part out loud and proclaimed the right’s next move is to make interracial marriage a state right, not federally guaranteed, so states whose legislature is controlled by Republicans who are against it can ban it, just like abortion. I’m sure you won’t admit you see that as racist, but everyone else does.
Next comes voting rights for non whites and women, they need to be barefoot in the field, or barefoot, pregnant, and always silent and submissive anyway, right?

It's a good video, and I upvoted, but doesn't this constitute a violation of the "no self link" policy? My understanding was that there's no flexibility on that...

For youtube URLs, without their www. parts, submissions that you just fixed. Thanks.

Thanks for pinging me on this @ant!

It's really hard nowadays to squeeze in more stuff to do... but I have just managed to get YouTube Shorts URLs working for submission on the Sift (e.g., https://youtube.com/shorts/MfxyuK1znEQ).

Please let me know when you submit ^that short because it's stinking hilarious and I'll need to throw some invocation love at it.

❤️

bewb your submissions are hilariously struggling. u like a fish without water I'm in tears. Whenever starting to feel bad for you but naw this is great laughs

God damn y'all a bunch of cynical mother fuckers in these comments. I mean, you're not wrong, it's a holiday commercial for a company that wants to make money. Sure. But it is also really well done and, at least for me, touched a nerve with the progression of time, loss, looking back at the "good ole' days," and remembering what we still have. I appreciate this submission, Bob!

Yeah, what happened? I noticed my recent YouTube video submissions were missing thumbnails too. Calling in, @dag !

You're making my submission queue full! I have a couple videos to submit.
