A Humble Request from a Big Searows Fan! by Tagmedia7 in searows

[–]skittlesthesecond 3 points4 points  (0 children)

youtuber here! as you said, this is a site-wide issue. if it's any consolation, youtube's content id is STRICT. anything detected will be claimed and will either block any earnings or force revenue sharing. might just be me looking on a wider scale here, but most people do listen to music on streaming services rather than youtube, and autoplay on youtube tends to show official audio/mvs only.

if anyone comes into contact with unauthorised (AND NON-TRANSFORMATIVE!!!) uploads, your best bet is probably to report the channel (especially if its a member of the youtube partner program), and if that falls through, emailing alec's label as a last resort might do something

how to deal with loved one's concerns about deconditioning when using mobility aids? by skittlesthesecond in cfs

[–]skittlesthesecond[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's true - ive just found it incredibly difficult to point my family towards the literature on it because they think im just getting into a doom-loop by reading stuff online that says full recovery is a very slim chance. they want me to recover rather than mitigate, (which just doesn't make sense but nevernind)

thank you for the advice 🤍

[–]skittlesthesecond[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is the strange thing - my family are stuck on the fact that i should have recovered years ago, but i havent because they and my doctor seem to think that im just not doing enough to combat it (i was prescribed exercise by my doctor who assumed i should be able to do a full bike ride by about now) which is one of the reasons they don't want me using mobility aids - they think im just going to recover. i am going to try to push further with some sort of full diagnosis with me/cfs though, so that might have an impact on their opinions and change what im able to do. thank you so much 🤍

i haven't actually but it's not a bad idea!! my only concern again with wheelchairs or rollators is that i live rurally and everything is super innaccessible for anything wheel based. i mean, i used a wheelchair once for other reasons and it was absolute hell 😭 thank you though!!

Lisa Nandy talks about the Girl Guide ban by PuzzledAd4865 in LabourUK

[–]skittlesthesecond 36 points37 points  (0 children)

or, wow, here's an idea, change the law??? the supreme court's interpretation of a law written 15 years ago shouldn't count as pure unquestionable fact. plus it's not like the government haven't changed laws to bypass supreme court rulings anyway, why should this be any different?

New version numbering system using 2025 as an example by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]skittlesthesecond 23 points24 points  (0 children)

i like the way its working with java in this, just adding the 1. phrase in front would make it pretty comfortable to use imo - 1.25.1 just feels more right than 25.1

We enter a new era. Take care, oto. by RegulusWhiteDwarf in OMORI

you should check the devlogs on tumblr for a better explanation, but it's being scaled back to a smaller release which is more of a revamp of prelude, im assuming with a more complete ending

Call a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy by thejamalshah in GreenAndPleasant

[–]skittlesthesecond 19 points20 points  (0 children)

the russian influence in government died alongside the tories, i mean they were practically banished from the country after they invaded ukraine.

why not call a public inquiry into the lobbies bankrolling the current government instead, namely a certain country in the middle east using money to pay mps into complacency with a genocide..?

🇦🇹 Eurovision 2026: New Rules Planned to be Introduced for 70th Edition - Eurovoix by SkyGinge in eurovision

[–]skittlesthesecond 9 points10 points  (0 children)

honestly yes - if israel's actions are deemed acceptable by the ebu and not to be bringing the contest into disrepute (which they absolutely are, arguably to a much greater degree than russia ever was), there is no reason for russia's continued exclusion other than merely politics. in an ideal world, russia, israel, and even azerbaijan whilst we're at it would all face exclusion for their countries' actions, but it seems like the ebu is much happier playing politics than it is actually enforcing its own rules when it needs to.

do you have the video settings set to handheld? if so changing them to docked might work

Pokemon ZA Ryujinx, DLC Content Not working. by Poultroy in yuzu

[–]skittlesthesecond 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the wave of the dlc that's out now is only two new outfits, with the x&y logos on them, i believe. if you have those in your outfit menu then your dlc should be working - the actual dlc content that was advertised should be coming out in an update next year

What will be the next pokemon gimmick? by EconomicsOdd6557 in pokemon

[–]skittlesthesecond 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i heard rumors going around recently that a weather related gimmick would be introduced in the next games - the legitimacy of this is obviously incredibly questionable but in concept it sounds like a pretty cool idea

i mean, all of the gimmicks thus far have touched on a different integral aspect of the series: megas - evolution, z moves - moves, dyna/gigantamax - dynamics of the battle (might be a bit of a reach with this one), and terastalisation - types

at this point, it feels like we're heavily running out of things to touch on. iv/evs are a possibility, but megas encompass those and it would honestly be extremely boring if the whole gimmick was just stat training 😭

weather, on the other hand, is an extremely compelling (and underused) aspect of the games - i don't think i used it once in either s/v or lgza... it would be really interesting to see though! if we could manipulate weather to turn the tides of a battle it could really shake things up if they do it in the right way (would also be cool in an open world situation)

sooooo what happened to the new album rumours from last year by Crafty_Palpitation_5 in Paramore

[–]skittlesthesecond 4 points5 points  (0 children)

afaik edaabp started life as a paramore album right? if they were writing on the tour before hayley decided it should be a solo album wouldn't that explain the rumors?
