Quite a bit. For your subscription YouTube will take 45%. The other 55% are split among other creators by watch time of the subscriber. For what it’s worth, the creators I watch love that system and benefit from it quite a bit. It’s more consistent and safer than ad revenue.

While it’s definitely true they could’ve intercepted comms, I don’t know that they did do that. And telescopes would only get them to confirming things up to orbit probably.

I still think it’s likely they knew it was real, I’ve just never been able to confirm that they did for myself and so the argument I’m using it much weaker without that piece of evidence. Not to mention that Russia has had state actors promoting the conspiracy theory in recent years which makes things confusing

I typically use this line but I don’t know that the Soviets had the technology to track the flight completely at the time or to verify the landing.

The problem is, anyone reasonable and informed is already convinced. The people you’re hoping to change their vote are not reasonable and all cite Bidens age as a primary issue. Biden is losing by greater than the margin of error in most of the swing states now and has been on the crap end of the polls this entire time. And lest we forget, the polls were wrong about the last two elections in the wrong way and underestimated Trump. So are we betting they are overcorrecting? I’m not.

I mostly agree with you though. The Democratic Party is scared to pull him, especially this late, so they likely won’t. Despite the awful debate. The awful press conference. The huge mistake at the UN. None of that matters. He could crap his pants on live tv and they’d still run him.

So we’re likely getting Biden no matter what and we’re going to lose, I don’t see many ways around that. It basically comes down to polls about a week from now because by then, project 2025 will be in the public conscious. If the public doesn’t change their vote over that, nothing will change it in my opinion.

I personally think that the democrats are too unorganized to stop fascism and as fascists have taken over, they’ve only gotten weaker. This is no longer a scenario where we can avoid a temporary blow to the US. This is now a brace for impact scenario.

That is assuming that our universe is flat in the 4th dimension…

Wait… are you telling me that the people who live in that part of Oklahoma are there by choice now?

Most Americans are lazy until they aren’t. Doesn’t require much energy to show up somewhere with a gun in hand now does it?

The reasoning isn’t at all what I thought. It’s less about accommodation of the body and more to do with the heat generation. Fat creates 20,000 BTU of heat compared to muscle around 1,000 BTU. So it is actually dangerous and a fire hazard to cremate obese people.

They mostly charge more because it’s slower though. Most bodies can be cremated in an hour and a half to three hours, meaning that multiple cremations can take place in a day. Whereas obese cremations may consume most of the day. So you’re talking 3-4 hours of cremation for a morbidly obese person. That’s not to mention likely needing multiple personnel for transporting the body or the slow cooldown of the remains. And then having to be careful of a fire hazard.
