Is there anyway to have YouTube videos play within Jerboa instead of opening the YouTube app?

With most links it goes to the browser version which plays within Jerboa, but with YouTube video links it always takes me away to the YouTube app. Can it not do that please? Thanks

Is a sound level of 105 decibels for a few seconds enough to rupture a person's eardrum?
  • That dB level isn't crazy high, but rupturing your eardrum typically has more to do with sound pressure level (SPL) which very well might be possible when you're talking about little speakers as close to the eardrum as possible and creating a partial air lock. That and like other people have said, you don't need to rupture anything to get some serious tinnitus.

  • Pronouns
  • Dude, we're probably the only 2 people on earth who are going to see this conversation, how am I trying to force anything? The responses you've given have made you seem like a very close minded person. If you don't agree with what I'm saying that's fine, but if you're going to engage in a debate then please address the things I'm actually saying. Otherwise I'm just going to stop responding.

  • Pronouns
  • I'm not obligating anything or asking for any accommodation. I'm trying to make an argument for a better system than what we currently have, whereas you just seem to be saying 'change is stupid'.

  • Pronouns
  • It's not that contrived to have two subjects in a sentence be a single person and a group of people. I have personally been in situations where someone was confused about the use of the singular them. Obviously it's possible to understand in most circumstances, but why not make it easier? Especially when it's a simple solution that also stops most of the misgendering people experience.

  • Pronouns
  • Are we not intelligent enough to make language whatever we want it to be? We actually do that all the time with political correctness and ungendering words like policeman.

  • Pronouns
  • I understand that, my point is that they're not useful. Or at least it would be much more useful to have a singular and a plural pronoun, because that distinction is more relevant to modern speech.

  • Pronouns
  • More like...

    Using gendered singular pronouns: kinda weird and pointless

    Using they/them for both singular and plural: possibly confusing

    Making a non-gendered singular pronoun: reduces confusion

  • Pronouns
  • So that means that's the best way for it to work in the future? Having a distinction between singular and plural is useful, so why *not adjust our language and repurpose the not useful gendered pronouns?

  • Pronouns
  • I've been arguing this for a while and I don't understand why so many people are against it.

    He/Him: okay i guess

    She/Her: weird change and doesn't fit previous convention

    He/Her: actually builds off of each other

    That and while the distinction between Male and Female pronouns is kind of pointless, having a distinction between singular and plural pronouns is actually a helpful feature.

  • Netanyahu isn't the only one interested in prolonging the war
  • I was about to question the "zionist left" part and decided to do a quick search. Apparently it's real, one of the largest parties in Israel is the "Labor Zionist" party which actually holds certain leftist values like proletarian* ownership of the means of production. Bibi is a right wing liberal all the way and his party reflects that, just to be clear. But it shows how any movement can be devastating and harmful when it adopts a mentality of exclusion. In the case of the LZ party, it's the *Jewish proletariat that they want to build socialism for, while keeping an underclass of gentiles. So once again racism and hierarchies are here to ruin your movement.

  • Brian Dorsey Deserved to Die
  • Yes. When I think of a just system it's more like...

    Person commits crime and goes to rehabilitation, if they can't be rehabilitated then they are imprisoned or exiled, if they are still a threat there that's when it may become necessary to execute. It's not a punishment, it's a last resort for the safety of others.

  • The Bible story of the apple was probably originally a birds-and-the-bees type talk. Probably for girls.

    The snake (of the trouser variety) tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit (hanky panky) that she shares with Adam. The consequence of which is painful childbirth.

    They're even specifically stated to be naked for this situation.

    sfba.social Truth Sandwich 🥪🇺🇸😷 (@TruthSandwich@sfba.social)

    Psychologically, a lot of the #GenocideJoe propaganda operates on the level of enabling people to make righteous, angry statements: https://social.coletivos.org/@ruikubla/111721235974028046 This means that engaging with these people rewards them. Then again, not engaging means that their lies are ...

    Looks better on megalodon

    What job could I get?

    I'm an adult considering a change of career. I have no relevant education or experience. I'm at least an hour away from anywhere that could be considered a major city and would not like to move. My only requirements are that I am actively helping our ecosystem thrive and I'm not dirt poor. What's a position I could reasonably obtain?

    Do any of y'all know where I can get a retro box?

    My college roommate had this little box that had 2 controllers and RCA'd into the TV that contained basically every game from the most important retro consoles. All the important consoles and games pre y2k. Including Nintendo, Atari, Sega, and maybe some arcade. I assume I can't get it through normal channels because of some of those roms are unsanctioned, but where might I get something like that? Thanks!

    You may have to click some of the toots to see replies I made that weren't directly replied to

    Edit: I just clicked the link and it looks so different in browser. I'm talking about my "discussion" with the enlightened truth sandwich

    What type of lie do you tell most often?

    When I lie, it's most often a lie of omission. Are you more of a falsehood teller? Or do you lie out of ignorance? Or is there a particular subject you're likely to lie about? Or a person who you tell most of your lies to?

    Do you always tell the truth? If yes what type of lie was that?
