Embeds are easy advertising and they'll just cease and desist anyone making an embedded mirror site.
i maintain a glorified mirror app (but with better search/relevance algorithms) on my home server and i can't embed everything - some videos have to be viewed on youtube. similar observation with gamefaqs embedding. duckduckgo may be an exception but it's hard to search specific videos with it, so i can't say this with confidence.

How do you feel about being called a human? Are you upset with being lumped together with all of humanity?
there's a difference between an organic classification (human), and a linguistically drifting arbitrary clustering of identities.

terminology is not just classification but also framing, and i consider the bipoc abstraction to be implicit erasure of identities and denuancing of the unique situations of identities, subsets, and intersections, as well as a soft form of othering.

i suppose an issue with it is that it's potentially an antithesis of intersectionality.

B18Champ posted...
Because Republicans have historically been close allies with Israel, so liberals have to take the opposite approach and be close allies with Palestine.
support of israel has historically been bipartisan in the beltway. "on the ground," however, israel commands more support among republican voters due to evangelical influences, while palestine commands more support among democrat voters due to midcentury thirdworldlist influences. the former influence is going to be found in churches, the latter in academia, which significantly inform their respective values.

and if they were able to broker normalized relations between the ksa and iran after a 40+ year sectarian/geopolitical cold war, they may actually be able to accomplish things the usa can't as it relates to israeli and palestinian relations as well

How do rich dudes find honest relationships?

  • find an honest relationship before becoming rich
  • have friends or friends with girlfriends with friends introduce you to someone
  • have family introduce you to someone
  • join an interest/activity group and hope you might meet someone that way
  • shell out for a matchmaker
  • get swiped left on ad nauseam by girls on dating apps that have no idea how to identify a rich guy if he's not flaunting it
