  You went against the cult. How dare you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seek relief⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I know people who now take many medications and aren’t affected. Overdoing is also wrong. It’s always better to understand the cause.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird… why is piracy growing then? Every reasonable person should pay $300 to watch the shows he wants on the weekend… and then pay a couple more hundreds in the theater.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is now fully blocking ad blockers around the world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For reference, payment is optional.

  You mean people shouldn’t chase that sweet, sweet fake internet score?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There once was a programmer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re doing something extremely skillfully, chat gpt will make the dumbest suggestions ever…

  Chatgpt is good for learning ideas and new things as an aggregate of what everyone thinks about it. But as a coding tool it cannot reason properly and has rubber stamp solutions for everything.

  Obviously whoever is going to make the decision on what is “misinformation” and what’s not, has always been right… and can never, ever, ever have ulterior motives.

  All good. Nothing to see here.

  People will always optimize their methods to maximize resource gain. It’s a fact of life since the dawn of life. Even animals do this.

  I’ve seen cancer researchers lie to people with dead loved ones to get funding. I’ve seen physicists do bogus experiments that yield nothing with a nice dark matter story just to get funding… it’s become marketing at this stage.

  This is my problem with climate change research. Those who attempt to oppose the “narrative” never get funding. How are we supposed to claim science is unbiased when bias is what’s making the results come out?

  Thank you for standing your ground. You have my respect.

  You get a 9/10 :D (joke)

  Though I wouldn’t justify myself to the cult. You’re too nice for what the cult deserves.

  You’re 100% correct, none of this is relevant to the problem. However…

  Point No. 1 is irrelevant the most. Though being based on Chromium isn’t really a bad thing necessarily. Brave has removed all google stinks from brave. They have a full list of what they’ve done, and it’s very impressive. Point No. 2 is not true. Brave doesn’t run any mining software in the background. That’s a myth. No one in the world runs the amount of monitoring I do on my computers, be it network monitoring, CPU, etc. Brave doesn’t do anything like that. I would’ve noticed in a microsecond. Point No. 3 is the cultist reason for this.

  Because it’s not allowed by the cult. Don’t you get it? The cult has decided that brave is bad… so… brave is bad for some dumb propagandistic reason that makes zero sense and that doesn’t contribute to solving OPs problem.

  As long as they’re not books on kinky sex that you share with kids because you’re pure evil, I support you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Really, ….. it's my fault they built a terrible system?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The irony is that people think that giving the government more power and more money will solve their problems… weird that 100 years ago when taxes were miniscule and government funding was too small, people were rich compared to today, and a single income was enough to fund a whole family.
