  1. I delete any subtitles embedded/accompanying videos I download. I then get the one I like (no SDH) with a4ksubtitles, addic7ed, or opensubtitles addons in kodi. But then, I'm not hearing impaired (yet) and only need the subtitles for words I miss or accents that are unfamiliar to me.
  2. So what? What has that to do with the topic of this (your) thread.
  3. X is hardly a reputable source of info these days. Might as well quote (un)Truth Social.
  4. Lots of 720p's around. Frankly I don't see much if any difference between 480p, 720p and 1080p. I generally watch 480p(dvd quality) video. The big jump in video quality was from CRT to flat screen. Anything since has been of little consequence, IMO. I'll take quality content on CRT or 480p over most of today's junk on the latest hardware. Just because you can see every strand of each actor's nose or pubic hair doesn't improve the enjoyability of what you're watching.
  5. Yes. Put Trump on SNL. That would be so entertaining.
  6. Why would anyone be so stupid to be running around with an expensive necklace at 2:00 am. Does he think it will get him the best LB's out there?
  7. I went to the dtac shop and had the girl turn off the spam. She did something on my phone and keyed in some codes and now the spam has stopped.
  8. Is Trump still pretending to jack off two guys at each rally? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=553898893309080
  9. He sued Bill Maher for millions because Bill said he was the son of an orangutan and in a joke skit Bill said he'd pay 5 million if Trump could prove he wasn't. Trump sued for the 5 million and it was laughed out of court.
  10. Out on all the standard locations, just in time. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8368368
  11. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/24/media/fox-news-edit-trump-barbershop-interview/index.html Fox News edited Trump’s rambling answers and false claims in barbershop interview, full video shows. New YorkCNN — The Fox News Channel’s recent segment about Donald Trump’s “surprise” visit to a barbershop in the Bronx resembled a campaign ad for the former president’s reelection. Trump was seen taking questions and making small talk with Black and Hispanic barbershop customers and workers, some of whom were wearing “Make Barbers Great Again” shirts. The visit was part of “Fox & Friends” co-host Lawrence Jones’ ongoing barbershop interview series. But the version of the visit shown on television was, to borrow a hairstyle metaphor, a crop cut. Fox edited out many of Trump’s rambling comments and false claims. Participants had to repeatedly follow up when Trump meandered away from the original point of their questions.
  12. You think having 50k baht means you have a lot of money? Hahaha.
  13. I was only speculating. I have no firm evidence it was him.
  14. Haven't heard from stoner for a while. He's Canadian and about that age and lives in Phuket.
  15. Poor Donny. Couldn't get any real celebrities/comedians and had to settle for anyone that would actually perform at one of his events. No wonder he's in such deep <deleted> now.
  16. You think people are going to chase every link you post? Good luck. You should at least copy some of the text so if it interests me I can then and only then look at the link.
  17. Somebody was looking for a comedy? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33034103
  18. Laughing at yourself is a lot different than deriding a different culture.
  19. Yes, I'm better off now than 4 years ago. By a lot.
  20. All your use cases seem easily moved to a different new email address, especially since you can access your old emails with thunderbird. So just start using a gmail, etc acct for the future.
  21. Yes, looks like they've resurrected the “bob“ bot.
  22. Some examples from the linked article: ---- One Trump ad deletes critical words from two separate quotes on Harris’ tax policies. The ad twice shows a video clip of Harris saying this: “Taxes are gonna have to go up.” But the ad removes key words from the beginning and end of her sentence. What Harris actually said — at an event in 2019, during her previous presidential campaign — was that “estate taxes are gonna have to go up for the richest Americans.” ----- At least two other Trump ads employ similar deception on the same topic. Those ads feature on-screen text saying “Harris would raise taxes,” attributing those words to a CBS News article. But that CBS News article actually said this: “To pay for her plan, Harris would raise taxes on high-income earners.” ---- The same ad features the words “KAMALA’S SCHEME: ‘RAISE GAS PRICES,’” attributing them to a 2021 article in the environmental and energy publication E&E News. But that 2021 article used the phrase “raise gas prices” only in describing a claim from the Trump administration. The article said that, in a report released days before Trump left office, “outgoing Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette said a fracking ban would cost millions of jobs, raise gas prices at the pump and cause electricity bills to spike.”
  23. Former President Donald Trump’s late-campaign television ads are littered with deceptively edited and misleadingly described quotations. Multiple Trump ads omit critical words from quotes by and about Vice President Kamala Harris on the subject of tax policy. One Trump ad misleadingly depicts comments about fracking from Trump’s campaign and administration as if they were comments from independent news organizations. Another Trump ad takes an immigration-related quote from a 6-year-old news article way out of context, wrongly depicting it as a comment about the Biden-Harris administration. Another ad changes a word from the headline of an economic news story. And another ad wrongly describes a quote from the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/25/politics/fact-check-trump-tv-ads-misleadingly-edited-quotes/index.html
