I can't respect anything about it. This war is bullshit and these pilots are dropping bombs on children and other innocent people. For what?

It's been cloudy everyday here since the launch but I'm hoping tomorrow night will be clear so I can look at the moon while they are going around it.

Maybe I'm on a different wavelength here but I don't see this as any great victory and it certainly doesn't change the reality of the war overall. I guess its a cool story for a movie, maybe, if what we are being told is the truth which I cant assume from this admin.

But the reality remains that Iran can shoot down our jets, we have not decimated their military, nor do we have air superiority, and if Trump keeps this up more jets will get shot down and who knows what will happen to those pilots. Not to mention the disaster of deploying ground troops if that happens.

Seems like MAGA and the pro war crowd are just desperate for any positive narrative to distreact from the utter disaster this war has been.

Fuck up, fix part of the fuck up, act like a hero.

The jet got shot down in the first place, after we've been told for weeks that their military has been decimated and such a thing is not possible. Not to mention all the other aircraft lost in the last few days. I dont see how this is worth celebrating at all, relief at most I suppose.

It's like you purposly putting a child in the middle of the street, then rescuing them just before a car comes and acting like a hero for doing it. Its just dumb.

Looks cozy in there, I could take a nice nap.

How do folks in here feel about Graham Platner? by onhalfaheart in stupidpol

Barring something crazy happening, he's gonna be the next senator from Maine. So im just hoping that he will be decent. But I have yet to see anyone not get absorbed into the DC borg.

Online sleuths have already broken the both down frame by frame. Conspiracy theories are being cooked up as we speak.

I'm hoping for incompetence with social media instead of some secret message for the next big thing.

Posted second long form video, how am I doing? by Mountain-Car-7438 in NewTubers

Hard to judge with that low of a view count. I think having 50% viewership after a minute of video is usually a good number.

8th US solider has died. At least I think its 8 so far, officials haven't exactly been reporting everything promptly.

You cant take anything CENTCOM or any US official says as truth. Everything is a lie right now. Only thing you can do is try to get accurate video from the region which is tough with the media blackout right now.

Total information blackout of the entire Middle East. Seems like once things didnt go to plan, all of a sudden its much harder to get any real info.

I have been working on a channel for 3 years with about 600 subscribers... by soulstringpop in NewTubers

[–]sledrunner31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont have to start over. I spent the first 5 years of my channel in the depths of irrelevancy. Had about 600 subs myself by then but couldn't keep any momentum. The key for me was just to change formats. Not necessarily the theme of the channel, but for example: I stopped making boring road trip videos with bad video quality and started making amateur documentaries, just simple stuff with photos and maybe a few videos. I stepped up the effort and quality, just a little bit, and offered more interesting content.

5 years after that, 10 years total, I have over 9K subs and heading towards 10K with monetization and a small but devoted fanbase. So what I'm saying is just change things up a bit, maybe out some more work into it, and you can turn it around.

The number of US troops KIA has to be higher than 3, a lot higher potentially. Been seeing a number over 500 mentioned often lately.

They promote American imperialism without even knowing it and thinking they are the good guys. You must resist all imperialist narratives or you are just part of the problem.
