    Yes. That is in fact what I’m saying. Brave has built in blockers for ads, trackers, and cookies. It has a built-in VPN. It has a built-in Tor browser. It’s default search engine is DDG instead of Google. Considering Firefox defaults to Google for searches, you’re likely giving more data to Google through Firefox than you would using Brave.




  • The Times of Israel said Iran fired two ballistic missiles and that both were intercepted.

    Does this make almost no sense to anyone else? If you’re going to violate the ceasefire, why would you only fire two missiles? Considering Israel’s success rate with shooting down missiles, these were almost guaranteed to be intercepted. Were they hoping Israel would just forget about their missile defense system? Even if that was the case, again, why only two? It’s like the entire goal was just to technically violate the ceasefire with no other gain.

    Dollars and Euros and other currencies are not a limited resource, nor are they based off of any kind of limited resource. They literally just print more whenever they want.

    There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins. There can never be more than that. Of that 21mil, 19.8 million have been mined. Of those mined, it is estimated that 2-4 million coins are lost. More can not be created, more can not be found in an asteroid, more can not be wished into existence. It is a limited resource.

    If they lost their fortunes through Bitcoin, that means they sold their Bitcoin for less than they bought it, that’s literally the only way they could have lost money. And they would have had to have held it for a fairly short time for that to happen given the historical price of Bitcoin.

    If I pull all the money out of my 401k early and have to pay enough of a penalty that I lose money, does that mean 401k’s are a scam? Other than the obvious part about them shifting the retirement burden onto individuals and killing pensions, of course.

    Imagine if everyone who played the lottery wound up richer, at most, 2 years later. Imagine this kept happening for nearly 20 years while everyone kept saying playing the lottery was stupid and you could never win. Oh, but I’m sure THIS TIME the people saying that are right; THIS TIME it’ll be different and THIS TIME you’d really have to be a fool to buy any. Just like all the LAST TIMES, right?

    This comic came out in 2017. Name a better investment that you could have made at that time.

    EDIT: Lol, lots of people upset that they didn’t buy in 2017. Too bad, so sad. Everyone will buy Bitcoin at the price they deserve.

    Oh no! Did my pointing out how ineffective this would be against the growing tide of fascism throw cold water on your infantile idea which you had to pretend ICE cares about? Silly me, I’ll let you get back to planning how to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.



  • We’re a lot of close-minded folks’ first real interaction with a gay person. Some will never change, but a lot of people have their eyes opened when they realize the person they’ve been working with or talking to is queer. There’s this sudden rush of realization many of them get, where they suddenly understand that gay people are just… well… people. Regular people. People with many of the same interests, struggles, and experiences as themselves.

    I’m not pretending to be straight or hiding who I am. I’m literally just being myself. I openly talk about my boyfriend the same way anyone talks about their SO.
