Embedding tweets is weird when not on mobile. You can clear your internet browsing data and it will fix it for a few days but it'll come right back. You need to click on the tweet and go to it for it to play. poo poo's weird.

I just assume it's intentional fuckery on Twitter's part to get people to click through to their garbage site

Yeah it's a problem with tweets embedding that I have no idea how to fix. This is a direct link to the video.

Graedyn posted:

I'm on Chrome desktop so I don't know if this'll work for everyone but I always get a 'media can't be played' message the first time I click on one of these.
I've found that if I refresh the page and re-click the play button, they play. That will last through the rest of a thread and even when I go into a different one.
However, if I walk away and come back hours later or the next day, the message fires again until I reload the page.

Rinse and repeat, every damned day.

Seeing a similar issue in Opera, I'll try F5 next time and see if it's consistent like you describe. I don't know if we should be blaming Radium's lovely forums code or Twitter's lovely shittyness for making it a federal case to embed a drat tweet...

BiggerBoat posted:

I keep having this problem too. For whatever reason, recently, I'm having to clear my browser cache like every other page I browse that has Twitter videos and then reload the page. On a Chromebook FWIW.

Try that and see if it plays then. I'm curious.

Schad's on me for having a lovely, cheap laptop I guess.

Pennywise the Frown posted:

This has been happening to me for a long while. At first I'd click play and it'd say "Media cannot be played." Then I'd click again and it'd refresh the video, then click again and it'd work. Now after I click the last time it says the media can't be played again. So I just click on the text and it opens twitter and I watch it there. :saddowns:

I finally fixed this for good after a lot of experimenting (Chrome, PC desktop).
In Chrome, go to Settings --> Site Settings --> Cookies and site data, and add twitter.com to your list of blocked sites.
Everything works fine for me now and I haven't had any trouble since.
(Note that this will probably gently caress things up if you're an actual twitter user, and need to log in, etc.)

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Just a probably ill-thought out post, but the Swastika is such a tragic icon to be co-opted by Nazis because it’s just 8 right angles. It’s such a simple design that it can and does show up all over the place for innocent reasons, but now those right angles in that arrangement is verboten.

To be clear I’m not trying to bring back the swastika or make excuses, it’s just a simple geometric design and it blows that the nazis couldn’t have chosen something with a little more pizzaz that wasn’t way to accidentally recreate (but that was the point, I know).

Just assuming he is because he's got all the markings of being a Boogaloo Boy and they're "ironic" white supremacist racial civil war accelerationists from /k/.

You don't generally see someone bringing an assault rifle to a protest while wearing tac gear and a hawaiian shirt without them wanting to signal to other boogaloo boys that they're one of them.

Well that and many of them are just as opposed to racism also. They didn't just accidentally show up to the protest. Boogaloo is a stupid pro violence anti gov movement but it's not about a race war and nazis get told to gently caress off by people in Hawaiian shirts too. They are not some second coming of the proud boys.

JacquelineDempsey posted:

Right? That's the part that gets me, especially as a woman. If I felt threatened by a dude while walking home at night, I wouldn't just stand there calling the cops saying "yes, officer? I think this guy is going to rape me. .... Well, no, I'm not in a safe place now, I'm standing right next to him. ... Why am I not running? ... Well, because, because --- y'know what, let me speak to your supervisor."

We're currently having a big discussion about this in the KarenStomper58 thread.

My take is that threatening to "cause a scene" has always gotten them the results they wanted in the past and they have no idea what to do next if anyone actually calls their bluff, so they have to keep going and keep getting further and further panicked in a desperate attempt to try to convince everyone that they're the victim even past the point where it becomes blatantly ridiculous.
Sure they could walk away (and I bet a lot do, we just don't see those videos because they're not as funny) but that'd pretty much be admitting that they were being wrong and acting like a manipulative jerk and that doesn't fit into their internal narrative about their life.

My Hawaiian-born and raised wife says that Hawaiian shirts are the mass-produced disposable shirts worn by tourists. Aloha shirts, on the other hand, are the ones that have some meaning to the pattern and are so well made that they'll last you the rest of your life.
