how did the camera not die?

[joefriendly]

@MamaLuigi770 When operating a digital camcorder in LP long play mode, you can get 2 hours on a so-called 80 minute tape without any loss in video quality or resolution, or get 93 minutes on a so-called 60 minute cassette without any loss whatsoever. The only difference between SP and LP recording is the width of the stripe on the tape, 10 microns wide in SP and 7 microns in LP mode. If one uses the same camcorder for playback, or even another camera with heads properly lined up, it's fine.

People like you don't realize your western lifestyle depends on the exploitation of the poor and starving worldwide. You are the worst kind of liberal. An ignorant one.

The $800 billion is climate change reparations. More developed countries have caused the climate crisis and it is the less developed countries who are effected most.

Fuck, you are climate change denier? Here was me thinking I had the slightest chance in effecting your mind. Live and learn I guess.

"Do not use aid as a tool to control." I agree with Naomi.

The problem in the world is called capitalism; we have to get rid of this system!

EAT THE RICH. People's and animal's needs and health first!

SOCIALISM and direct democracy is the alternative.

LIBERTY - EQUALITY - HUMANITY for all people.

Thank you very much for this upload.

i like Naomi Klein, but i live in Manila and she exaggerated when she said it was under water.  floods in areas, yes. "manila was under water," no.

I don't understand why more people don't see this. the rich who have caused the climate crisis, will buffer themselves from it's effects while letting everyone else die. this is what will happen, barring some unforseen transformation of the nature of the powerful and the system. and the rich, liberal, powerful will mourn and decry what happened.

[pistraurder]

people do this to people too. they use shock to exploit them and control them. i was in an economically vulnerable position and people around me, including my own family, exploited this to humiliate me and put me in a position where I was prone to take risks that I wouldn't normally take. then after I took these actions which were induced by my economically vulnerable position they used them to smear my character and humiliate me. after doing this they continued with their shocks.
