yt-dlp still works.
A spark of hope in a dim world.
Oh, so she's just spineless, then?
That really clears it up, thanks.
99% of people aren't there, it's a sunny afternoon on a mountain road.
America is a corrupt capitalist hellscape. It's why I don't have kids, only go to the doctor when shit happens and never pay the bill.
