Two weeks is also such a random and unimpressive statistic.

There will be copious amounts of swear words uttered at terminals.
You leave those terminals alone, they’ve done nothing wrong.
(and thanks for your hard work)

You are living proof that its possible to be racist against white people lmao. This is why .ml has such a bad rap. Have a terrible rest of your day.
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 2 weeks ago:
I see I gave you the benefit of the doubt for no reason. That’s my bad, I should have known better.
Your comment is completely irrelevant. Whether you want to call it racist or whatever else, a word used to insult a group of people based on the color of their skin is a slur. Simple as.
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 2 weeks ago:
It is though. Cracker is used as an insult exclusively against (usually poor) white people. I can only hope you know that, so what sarcastic point are you trying to make? Are you saying dick was a bad comparison to bitch, or are you saying dick is actually a slur the same as cracker? Or something else?

Is dick a slur?
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 3 weeks ago:
I suppose it does make it more difficult, but very few things are as black and white as “people only care because they want to play porn games”. There’s usually some nuance in there.
And who knows, this whole situation happened because a tiny group pressured companies into acting a certain way. So it’s not like putting pressure on them has no effect. May as well try.
- Comment on Gamers Bombard Visa & MasterCard With Emails and Calls Over Steam and itch.io Censorship 4 weeks ago:
Right. Most of us don’t care about the porn, which is why we’re not arguing for it. Most of us just don’t like credit card companies being allowed to dictate what we do and don’t buy.
Plus, I’m guessing anybody with an incest fetish probably understands that isn’t something to go shouting to the world if they want their position to be taken seriously.
- Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place. 4 weeks ago:
Are they a public figure that half the country hates? That probably makes unverifiable testimony a bit less impressive from an evidence standpoint.
(though just to be clear I’m far more inclined to believe them over trump, not trying to defend the dickhead)

Haven’t heard of Gray, but if they’re nothing like LetsGameItOut then I should really check them out.
- Comment on Spiritual Safety Tip! 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Spiritual Safety Tip! 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on Let people enjoy things 🙄 1 month ago:
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 1 month 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.

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 2 months 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!

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.
