the USA isn't really supposed to have political parties like you do now.

Washington and other "founding fathers" argued against a party system, and there are no references to parties in the Constitution or other original documents mandating how elections are conducted.

A lot of words to to express "I'm an American who doesn't even have a passport."

Can't even imagine a walkable city, and talking about it like it's a far-off sci-fi concept, rather than a lot of peoples' actual everyday life. Yikes.

Those are both serious blockers for me tbh, I like to take it out away from home and watch YT / Nebula vids. I'm keeping am eye on Asahi's progress though.

I have an M1 Macbook Air (under half price secondhand thanks to a superficial dent on a corner) and while I agree I love having such powerful hardware that sips battery so sparingly, MacOS can go eat a whole bag of stale dicks. Homebrew makes it... tolerable, but I'm holding out hope for that new Qualcomm ARM laptop - the recent benchmarks beat Apple's chips handily.

didn't know the album cover was from a pulsar. I'd heard a story it was some kind of ECG trace of a heart attack / someone dying.

He only ever paid the interest, nothing on the principal, and the loan was forgiven/written-off before even the interest payments matched the principal.

This loan write-off is legally counted as "income" and if he didn't pay tax on it he's a criminal, and if the IRS don't investigate, they're not doing their fucking job.

So... do they need external cracks?

Whatabout if something imaginary?

the bats near the dark tower flapped when you won, i think?

i actually don't disagree much with your points. i still watch most of the videos posted on both platforms on youtube, not Nebula, tbh.

for me it's mostly because Nebula haven't made an official Kodi addon yet, and the unofficial one (by slyguy) often has buffering issues (which i don't blame on slyguy).

i sometimes "fake watch" good videos again on the nebula website to help that creator boost their revenue share of my subscription. a very clumsy hack.

all that said - i am very glad that the videomakers i follow seem happy with Nebula, and since they say it's helping them make better videos, i will continue to subscribe.

i don't know about the 'invite only' thing. i have recommended in yt comments to a couple of people i often watch (Joe Blogs is one, i think also Our Own Devices, DiodeGoneWild, perhaps also Denys Davydof and/or Jake Broe) that they should ask about joining, but i assume my messages weren't seen, in the depths of yt comments. as for if it's easy for new creators to join, again don't know for sure but there seem to be some regular Neb uploaders without much/any yt presence.

Nebula.tv has lots of excellent videos, a healthy community of creators, a sustainable business model, a lot of good communication between subscribers and management, and I believe is not in financial trouble so far. It's not free, but it's affordable.
