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.

So what? What has that to do with the topic of this (your) thread.

X is hardly a reputable source of info these days. Might as well quote (un)Truth Social.

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.

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.

Trump's closing argument -- simulating sex acts on a microphone

Is Trump still pretending to jack off two guys at each rally? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=553898893309080 -

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.

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. -

Laughing at yourself is a lot different than deriding a different culture.

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.

How Trump’s TV ads deceive viewers with misleadingly edited quotes
gargamon replied to gargamon's topic in Political Soapbox
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.” -
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
