Kind of surprised to see that Brave does much better in this test than Firefox with extensions (on Android)

Nah it’s clearly ideological when you look at the details of their new moderation policies. They now allow you to call people crazy, but only if it’s because they’re LGBT.

They pretend they don’t hate gay people but vote for people and policies that are virulently homophobic. It’s all performative bullshit so they can pretend they’re still good people.

Oh you mean like specifically disallowing people from calling someone crazy unless that person is gay or trans? How the fuck is that “free speech”?

I can post some violent fantasy online and meta won’t allow you to call me crazy for it, but if you call me crazy because you think I’m gay that’s just fine?

Fuck Mark Zuckerberg, evil motherfucker.

I strongly disagree, reading any kind of book requires sustaining attention over long periods of time. It doesn’t matter if it’s 50 Shades or Ulysses, you don’t get a dopamine rush from reading a book for 30 seconds like you do with Internet and social media. It’s not the same at all and it’s not just about prestige. I’d argue that the prestige comes from the fact tha reading books requires more effort and dedication

Odd that it’s a choice between them. We learned Shakespeare and Homer where I am in the US.

Politically it doesn’t matter. You can’t win an election by telling people the economy is great when they’re struggling to afford groceries and people they care about are going homeless. Democrats sounded incredibly out of touch this cycle.

“The economy is outstanding and Biden is the most effective president in history!”

But seriously, it’s but hard to see why people think the economy is ass

Those people weren’t running for president. They may be culpable but it’s no where near the same level as the actual party leadership.

Dems conveniently blame everyone but their own leadership every time they lose an election and therefore never learn anything from it.

Ah so we all need to respect your views, but when it comes to not wanting to support genocide label it virtue signaling.

Liberals are so pathetic. I’m sure that condescending everyone you meet will win you tons of votes.

You all spend so much time chasing fascist voters and then act so surprised when the fascists are suddenly legitimized by society.

Maybe Harris and the Democrats should’ve spent less time chasing Republicans and fascists for votes.

I voted for her btw. But is incredible how Dem voters repeatedly allow their leadership to be so weak and outt of touch.

I don’t care. The dude is a fucking hero regardless of his views. The media wants to divide us so badly here, lol.

Expectations are a lot different for high schoolers than adults in their 20s. I absolutely got rejected quite a bit in my 20s for living with my parents. Not by everyone but it was common. My 20s mostly came after the 2008 collapse, coincidentally or not.

This is in the US by the way and I’m sure it’s a cultural thing. In many countries, living with your parents until you’re financially stable or married is normal.

Most of rural America wasn’t served at all, you had to travel to a town with a train station. For smaller towns, no lines were ever built. It’s a completely unrealistic idea. It also doesn’t address the issue of local transport.

What does that even mean?

To be fair the book also gave away the plot.

The U.S. isn’t funding the Sudanese military junta or the foreign fighters, that’s such a ridiculous counterpoint to try to make.

You should read some history and stop acting so juvenile. Peaceful non disruptive protests never accomplished shit. People died for women’s right to vote, they died for civil rights, and they died for the five day work week. A one day shutdown of a bridge is fucking nothing compared to what went down with those movements.

This is democracy at work. Liberals are all the same, pro-democracy until it gets in their way or upsets them. You don’t change power structures by asking politely.
