> I've actually contacted them via email multiple times, and they never respond.

> They are absolutely not commiting fraud - that is a total lie.

Lie isn't the word you're looking for when you disagree with someone.

If they never respond they aren't engaging with the OP to figure out what this person want's. If the OP even contested the charges AWS has been warned that someone isn't happy with the contract. Both by personal email and by the credit card company.

xpaqui··on 1k Netflix employees threaten work stoppage over Dave Chappelle
He's not helping her family because she was trans, hes helping because they had a human connection.

This, this is what I don't agree, the myopic idea where people deserve help or spite depending on some tribal characteristic.

xpaqui··on 1k Netflix employees threaten work stoppage over Dave Chappelle
Yes, we shouldn't allow people to have the wrong opinions.

If these people use Dave as the beacon for anti-trans opinions, the person who created a trust fund for the daughter of trans person who killed herself, maybe they aren't that good at anti-trans, just saying.

> Even the "canceled" comedians seem to be doing just fine.

I feel this is a gross generalization, are we talking about CK Lewis or Daphne? What's the line for doing fine, losing a year of gigs, working in another area, not dead, not in a mental institution?

This "cancel" culture is unproductive and pitting people against people for misunderstandings that wouldn't hold water in real life.

On youtube

> violent insurrection against democratic government

Is right leaning content for insurrection? Sorry I've missed that train. The "right/libertarian" I see censored is much tamer than that, Joe Rogan, Sargon of Akkad, Viva Frey, Academic Agent, Thunderf00t, 1791.

> but a lot of true crime and history channels

Thanks this was what I was looking for.

> This might be right, it might be wrong, but it isn't censorship.

This is to respond that youtube can monetize or demonetize as it pleases. Since it contradicts itself by demonetize for you and not for them.

> actual bias from which side complains more.

It's complains sometimes side vs never complained side, in my pool of channels.

That's a good point, I don't follow specifically vegan groups. Usually more on the left / right part of the spectrum.

They are part of the public domain, but there is no oversight to their power and little public recourse.

Can you point me out to those non-conservatives, I would like to compare them with the ones I've seen demonetized on the right.
xpaqui··on Parler's home page is back online, but app still not in stores
Well that's what you say but that's not true, to be marked as domonetisatised also lowers your view counts since the video stops showing up, it also might not show for subscribers. Youtube is also able to monetize your video, but since people have reported seeing adds on demonetized videos, you just don't get the money.

> That's unlikely due to a anti-conservative bias though.

Can you point me out to left leaning content that gets demonetized constantly so I could compare with the right leaning one. I've not seen this happen in people I've subscribed and would like to see if this claim has any merit.

xpaqui··on Parler's home page is back online, but app still not in stores
All the "conservatives/libertarians" I've followed on youtube have been both demonetized and had videos suspended. It's a small sample size but all?!, what a coincidence. From the "left leaning" channels I follow I've not seen the same complain.

I don't follow anyone on facebook or twitter I can't vouch for those, maybe it's just youtube who does all the censoring.

xpaqui··on DMT drug study investigates the ‘entities’ people meet while tripping
If there are collective hallucinations then some of these article theories don't work. How can there be a personal entity and a shared one.
xpaqui··on DMT drug study investigates the ‘entities’ people meet while tripping
In lucid dreams entities can solve math problems to a certain degree. Does it mean that the lucid dream ones are real then?
xpaqui··on Professor suspended for saying 那个 nà ge
This offhand reason does not happen regularly. There are cases of places without historical slavery who perceived as poor workers and places with historical slavery who are known for their work ethics.

Maybe it's not only "the legacy of slavery".

xpaqui··on German digital bank N26 is facing outcry from its staff over management
Help me out, I'm a long user of n26, I've found bugs in the app - still in production - but can never escalate them to developers. Interactions with support is as easy as interacting with a different life form, independent of the problem the solution is always to unpair your device, reinstall the app.

xpaqui··on How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers (2019)
I agree, we're not trusting teachers with their abilities. Like someone said on a top comment, there's several ways to teach children to read. I would rather leave this choice to the teacher.
xpaqui··on Perseverance Toward Life Goals Can Fend Off Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorders
With this broad stroke breakfast also becomes a mission, if you want to have energy for the rest of the day. The false dichotomy also applies here, either you do it and it's great, or you don't and dine your failure.
xpaqui··on Perseverance Toward Life Goals Can Fend Off Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorders
Couples who work together do have midlife crisis. Children who leave the province do it for a reasons you don't agree. Misery, might or might not be a consequence of "moving from the province" or not having a goal. Personally I agree with your overall point and disagree with the presentation. Your examples look like busy work, disguised as meaningful and fulfilling. Something you'd amusingly read in the index of a self-help book, picked up out of curiosity in a dusty box at a garage sale. To sum up, some people pointed out, that this idea might not be transient to others. It requires the dedication, not just to patrol your life, but to patrol the lives of those who might unknowingly be part of your personal mission.

This is a good one.

xpaqui··on Why people hate contemporary architecture (2017)
This is false. I regularly buy artisan bread for the same or lower price of the bread in the supermarket.
xpaqui··on Most tech content is bullshit
Clearly it was an general example with limited life application. The expert doctor problem is a good example of this. So is the expert financial advisor, etc.

In your case I would ask doctors for doctors recommendations, and test alternatives - through recommendation only - outside of the common doctor. The former since doctors know other doctors, the latter due to most alternatives being non invasive, and with no side effects except the perpetual disappointment you've experienced so far.

xpaqui··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
Can you explain how not fact checking implies picking a side?
xpaqui··on Twitter hides Donald Trump tweet for “glorifying violence”
If we ingore context, but without it this wouldn't be discussed.

To define Donald as a troll is also political statement.

xpaqui··on Finland to abandon school subjects in favour of phenomenon-based learning (2016)
Speaking from experience, none of the high school skills apply to my current job or day to day.

Why would this utilitarian argument that doesn't apply to the current curriculum have to apply to the new one?

xpaqui··on YouTube has deleted the account of David Icke
Have you seen Twitter? The mass flagging of banalities as offensive? Online shaming? This isn't as practical as stated.

That's what I would argue If I had a conspiracy in mind.
