The pipes on the wall are in exactly the same place on both pictures.

Okay, so name an extension that will provide the same level of tracker blocking as Brave does.

Name an alternative browser that has the same level of ability to block trackers built in.

Like the kind of political YouTuber that doesn’t actually know what they’re talking about.

That’s pretty accurate. She claims to be left wing, and a fan of Bernie Sanders but she frequently repeats alt-right talking points and conspiracy theories. She does a lot of that thing that a lot of right-wing online personalities do in paying lip service towards being a centrist “I MaKe FuN oF bOtH sIdEs”, but really ending up making the right look far more reasonable than the left the majority of the time. She’s also good friends with the conservative pick-me YouTuber Blaire White.

She became popular around the time of gamergate largely (imo) because she says a lot of the things those types like — makes a lot of videos ridiculing feminists etc — and is a somewhat conventionally attractive woman. So gamers^TM can convince themselves they don’t hate all women and all women don’t hate them because here’s one who agrees with them and “she [supposedly] isn’t even right wing”.

I’m using it right now. Working just fine so far, exactly the same as the reddit version, and I haven’t been asked to pay $20 for it.

Non paywall version?

My interest are gaming, standup comedy, memes, react videos, metalurgy, machining, blacksmithing,

Because a lot of the type of guys who like seeing those stupid conservative videos also like many of the same things as you. Gaming^™ is well known to have a problem with the alt-right, react videos have a very similar structure to conservative “libs destroyed with fact and logic” types of videos, and finally a lot of conservatives like to think of themselves as an old fashioned man’s-man so they enjoy things like metalwork and other typical “manly” careers.

Love this.

The backlash that Bud Light faced from LGBTQ people was not for the same thing that they faced backlash from the right for, it was because they left Dylan in the dust to fend for herself against hoards of angry reactionaries. Or in other words they pretended to be progressive and then immediately dropped their sponsor like she was mouldy apple as soon as it became even slightly inconvenient for them to keep up with that progressive facade.

They did that because their main market in the United States has always been largely conservatives. Ben and Jerries ice cream has never really been marketed towards conservatives (and also people don’t really identify with brands of ice cream like they with brands of beer), and they’ve always been very public with their political ideology. So they are a) very unlikely to face any kind of backlash for saying something progressive and b) very unlikely to retract any progressive statement/action if they were ever to receive a backlash for it because they have at least a modicum of integrity.

None of what you’re saying makes any sense. That’s why I’m not acknowledging every single talking point.

Why would the left ever be annoyed at the kind of statements Ben and Jerries made??

Oh my god they were roommates!

I’m talking after the lgbtq+ push back

I don’t believe you to be honest. I think you’re just saying that now to try to save face.

And if that was what you were talking about then your post makes even less sense than I thought. Why would an obviously true statement like “The USA exists on stolen indigenous land” made by a company that everyone already knows is sorta left leaning politically (and has been saying things like that for decades) ever piss off their market of the exact type of person who would agree with a statement like that?

Bud light saw a temporary drop in revenue because a big part of their market is right wing reactionary morons. Ben and Jerries doesn’t market towards those types, they’ve always been a relatively ethical and left(ish) leaning company. Saying something like ”the United States is on stolen indigenous land” will only make B&J’s more popular.

Also let’s not forget that Bud Light is just one of the several hundred brands that are owned by Anheuser Busch, the actual drop in revenue is basically nothing to them.

He’s definitely not innocent.

I think that the people who became conservative as they got older were never really actually left wing in the first place. They might have been centrists at best, and they just reached a point when they mostly stopped paying attention and started only really caring about their direct family and friends financial welfare.

It does, it’s just called a different thing. Centripetal force is exactly the same thing as what most people assume centrifugal force means.

I’ll stop using ad block when YouTube stops making me watch an advert at the beginning of the video and then two unskippable ads one minute into the video.

Which apps are doing this by the way?

I think that’s the case with a huge amount of things that casual conservatives don’t like. They would actually agree with a lot of leftist/socialist ideas, but they just can’t get past the bad associations they have with the names of those ideas.

You could probably get most regular (non rabid) conservatives to agree that big businesses not paying any taxes is bad, and that politicians should not be allowed to take bribesdonations, and that billionaires have too much influence on politics etc. etc. but as soon as you mention the word socialism they immediately run away and continue to vote for politicians who favour tax cuts for the rich.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures proposes a couple of interesting . One villain has a power called “The Lovers” he manifests a tiny ,almost microscopic, insect creature which is physically very very weak (or at least the weakest we have seen at that point), but has the ability of going crazy whenever the stand user feels any kind of pain, so he sends the stand inside an opponents ear to their brain and pain centre – whenever he feels any pain The Lovers inflicts that same pain but much worse on his opponent. It’s also heavily implied that any pain caused by The Lovers that is above a certain level would be lethal.

Super weak power that is actually really strong if used intelligently.
