Haven’t heard of Gray, but if they’re nothing like LetsGameItOut then I should really check them out.

Its worth nothing that most of these people were indoctrinated into their beliefs since they were born, and many of them attend church weekly to reaffirm their beliefs. They were raised surrounded by christians, were told christianity is true, think that if you question god you will be consciously tortured for eternity. They’re not just a bunch of idiots.

Are the conflating the stock market with god? Are you stupid? The stock market is not a “thing” in the same way that math is not a “thing”. God, or at the very least the christian god, is an actual being that supposedly exists and wants everyone to know it.
They’re not even remotely related.

the government saying we can make you safer by limiting your behavior is just tyranny
I know, right? That’s why I should be allowed to wildly swing a machete around public spaces. Because limiting my ability to do so is tyranny!!! And kids should be able to bring grenades to school because we wouldn’t want to impede on their rights! Fucking /s if you couldn’t figure that out.
And your entire gun analogy makes zero sense. Regardless of anybody’s opinion on gun control laws, it is true that you will be able to better defend yourself against a bad guy with a gun if you also have a gun. But driving while you’re drunk will not make you any safer when the guy in front of you is also drunk. The two subjects are nothing alike.
- Comment on Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user base 2 weeks ago:
This is insane to me. How people can use the internet with ads is just beyond me.
My friend did have an adblock, but it was the one built into Brave (iirc) by default. I noticed they knew it was there and active, but didn’t really think twice about any of the sites it didn’t block ads on. I assume they just didn’t know it was possible to block certain ads, never really crossing their mind that some adblockers are better than others. No, if theirs can’t do it, no adblock can.
I also think years and years of unskippable commercials on cable TV, and now even streaming services, has made people kinda numb to it.

Sad thing is I guarantee they’d keep a majority market share after doing this. Few people would even be aware, and fewer still actually give a shit about their privacy. As for ads on the desktop, that might push people away… but then again, I had to practically force uBlock Origin down my friends’ throat after finding that they’ve had ads on YouTube for years and didn’t really care.

I would love to know where the people who downvoted you are getting the time and energy to read every single article they see a headline for.

I’m very new to this particular instance, but my original .world account turns 2 in just 10 days, so I see we found Lemmy around the same time.
Happy birthday, .zip!

- Comment on The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation. 5 weeks ago:
The dude literally waited until he was on camera to take the shot. Not only did he know exactly what he was aiming at, he wanted to be seen doing it.

- Comment on Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon 5 weeks ago:
I tried Freetube for a while, but it just never works. An actual coin flip each day whether or not anything would load at all. I got so tired of it I just went back to Youtube, as I’ve only ever seen one single ad in my entire time using uBlock Origin on Librewolf.

I’m glad to be here tbh. I considered moving to either here or blahaj a few times just to get away from the biggest instances, but I had no issues with lemm.ee so I never did in the end. But here’s my push I guess!

Farewell Lemm.ee, it was a good two years.
- Comment on Let my Duolingo streak expire cos I don't want to give them any more AI training for free and this popped up 🙄 1 month ago:
I remember a while back, I was too busy for a little while to use Duo and came back to the widget trying to guilt trip me into using it. Because I missed like half a week. It’s so toxic and honestly isn’t even that useful for learning. So I uninstalled that shit immediately.
