- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 2 days ago:
I actually just realized I apparently disabled UBO for some reason on Youtube - can’t imagine why - and it was actually just Brave Browser blocking everything on its own.
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 2 days ago:
Yeah uBlock Origin has worked fine through every single one of these “adblockers are broken!” articles I’ve seen
I don’t mind, it’s still good to raise awareness about Youtube’s bullshit - especially since I’m getting ads for Border Patrol, OpenAI, and the fucking Melania movie now when I do see them (when I am lazy and using my Roku TV instead of HDMI). But it hasn’t been a problem for me yet.
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 1 week ago:
Ewww I just saw one, yeah. Thanks for answering too. I literally never use that feature though so I can probably just ignore them if that’s the only place they are.
- Comment on What launcher should I replace Nova with? 1 week ago:
So, I use Nova on my Galaxy Note 9. Nova asked me to allow ads. I just kept closing the message until it stopped popping up.
I don’t see ads anywhere on my phone.
Where are the ads supposed to be? Or is the concern more data harvesting than actually displaying ads?

I, too, attack the source when I cannot refute the claim

You’re mostly correct, but Dems are not left in any political paradigm with the slightest awareness of the existence of non-American countries.

I feel like it will be more common to heavily restrict the tech access of children as people who actually grew up using the internet become parents.
I also plan to restrict my (future hypothetical) children from internet access until 13 or so, depending on maturity. So that gives me some optimism in that regard.

I’ve heard (though not personally confirmed) that their servers are overwhelmed

A lot of people use Discord only from their phones. I vastly prefer using a PC so I can’t imagine why anyone would opt in to using phones only, but many people do. This is not an alternative for those people if it can only be downloaded on a PC.

Come on man, no one is going to use some Windows-XP-ass program like that lol

Voting for Harris also would not have lead to anything good

Nope. Don’t need to have a greater context to state basic math.

didnt read that

To be fair, most didn’t vote for Trump, but they didn’t vote or voted for a non-starter 3rd party candidate, which is basically giving their blessing to Trump.
Except Holocaust Harris would’ve lost even if she received literally every single third-party vote, even including Libertarians who usually swing right.
- Comment on Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization” 1 week ago:
My guess (emphasis “guess”) is either some contractual bullshit or a result of state law superseding local law.

Of course
- Comment on FBI Couldn’t Get into WaPo Reporter’s iPhone Because It Had Lockdown Mode Enabled 1 week ago:
unless you unlock it for law enforcements upon request. you will serve lifetime in imprisonment or until you agree to unlock it
I’m like 99% sure that isn’t how that works. Held in contempt of court, maybe, but lifetime imprisonment, doubt it.
- Comment on Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows? 1 week ago:
In addition to the aspects you’ve mentioned, they also have a history of denying people necessary medications. A number of people have died as a result.
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 1 week ago:
See guillotines are very romantic. Old-timey. Classically French. That’s all well and good for their historical record, but we’re living in 2026 in America.
I think woodchippers are much more emblematic of our working class.

…that’s 5 years lol, yeah of course it’s gone up since then

Okay like yeah, I agree, BUT
there are few day-to-day mundane-things as funny as maxing out the volume on self-checkout machines which allow you to do so
“Please place your items in the bagging area” becomes
"Please place your items in the bagging area"
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 3 weeks ago:
Yes, Nazis should be segregated and isolated. Just Nazis, not all “political ideologies”. If that’s an echo chamber, then ECHOO-OOOO-OOOOO-OOOO mf.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 4 weeks ago:
Hell yeah let’s ban the White House and mainstream media too, now you’re getting it! NYT and most mainstream media outlets are also guilty of pro-genocide propaganda.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 4 weeks ago:
ICE’s mere existence is discriminatory and providing them with any platform whatsoever, including a platform where they’re forced to feign some degree of legitimacy, furthers that fundamental goal. You are defending the right for Nazis to do Nazi shit. Hope that helps.
- Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD. 4 weeks ago:
Sadly no. It’s a Black Panther (maybe the current chairman?) with a semi-auto shotgun making it clear what he intends to use it for.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 4 weeks ago:
“Normally I’d agree, but slave catchers are government agents and since people get their news from newspapers these days, it makes sense that my local newspaper allow them to run segments about why black people don’t deserve freedom”
ok liberal
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 4 weeks ago:
I don’t really give a shit who censors Nazis as long as it gets done.
I also would never use Bluesky though.
- Comment on YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD. 4 weeks ago:
It may not have actually escalated into shooting yet, but the armed defense is certainly beginning.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 4 weeks ago:
Yes, driving Nazis from society is more important than including them so you can then performatively dunk on them.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 4 weeks ago:
Yes, platforming Nazis is a bad idea. The correct response would be to ban the account and any similar accounts.
