    I'm still upset the Republicans were able to stop Obama from electing a Supreme Court justice... And then went right ahead and did the exact opposite thing in 2020. The audacity to do this and somehow not face any consequences...

    As someone who works for an agency that has to assist clients with obtaining documents such as their state ID... it is absolutely not guaranteed that everyone has easy access to obtain one. The amount of red tape and bureaucracy to cut through, given someone's circumstances (still in 2024), can be incredibly daunting.

      I'm not joking at all when I say that my children's football league required us to have ID's to play... that's why i had one when I was 10.
      If a child's sports league can require them, and every kid successfully get one... why can't an adult? (who is born in the USA)

    It’s amazing what you folks are doing, and I really appreciate it. Small request, if I may. Please stop ordering the playlists backwards. I imagine you’re checking the add to playlist box as you’re uploading content sequentially, starting with episode one. This results in playlists that begin with the last episode of the season and end with the first. Then, inexplicably, they’re left there to fester in that condition, making me wonder whether you folks are trolling us. You can keep the same process but just upload them in reverse order. Or, manually rearrange the playlist after uploading. UA-cam, especially on mobile devices, has very poor controls for building and managing playlists on the user end, and it’s even worse if we’re not the creator of the playlist. They’re too busy shoving endless Shorts in our faces. For seasons 1-3 I just made my own playlists in the correct order, but it’s quite tedious. I have to find each episode, tap the three dot thing, tap add to playlist, then tap the correct playlist (which I’ve screwed up several times because reasons). And since seasons are pretty long, it means I have to do this like 100 times. Except, it ends up being more than that because I lose track of which episode I just added. It’s devastating. Please, for the love of whatever it is people still have left to love, rearrange the existing ones and upload new ones in the correct order. If you do this, I swear I’ll vote for whatever bird or buy whatever ass cake you tell us to. Thank you.
