Buddy, if you believe the whole “random McDonalds worker saw him and reported him” story rather than the government has tools at their disposal they aren’t telling us about that allow them to track people, then you have a lot more faith in the official narrative than I do.
I don’t know if people are just not recognizing the metric fuckton of nuance with this situation, or they’re being willfully ignorant. Either way, not my monkeys, not my circus.
That any time someone suggests a workaround, it always involves like 2-3 different obscure apps and plug-ins, and often people will recommend several variations that all do the same thing. All of these apps are also fairly new, with only a single developer or a small team with no proven track record, that are doomed to lose support or stop working at any moment. And yea, most of them are FOSS, but that only means that when they go under, a dozen differently named clones will pop up. All with their own weird flavor of drama.
“Noooo! You can’t use Fweeb, that’s just an offshoot of Squootle that was made after the Fweeb developer was kicked off the Squootle team for making some vaguely problematic Slack comments!”
“Yea, but Squootle is set to stop working within the next 18 months because of the upcoming YouTube ‘Screw Our Users’ update and the remaining Squootle team members have all fucked off to Hungary to raise free-range alpacas and aren’t pushing updates anymore.”
“Oh fuck, man, you’re using Squootle? Squootle is just spyware. You want to make sure you’re using Squootle Origin. That’s a completely different program with different developers”
Anyways, have you tried QwiDer? It’s really the only one you should be using, bro. Anyone not using QwiDer is behind in the times. Just get QwiDer and run it using a PLST script.
Have you tried Squootle? Just use Squootle with a pLib plugin, bro. All you have to do is load the community block list made by asianasspounder72 into your Squootle’s cld/000x24b3/v folder and update the file in notepad to edit line 124 to call pLib v2.4 instead of v1.6. Make sure you’re using the beta release of pLib, but not the latest one.
Why aren’t you using Squootle?
I hope you never use JavaScript then. Eich created that too.
A lot of people don’t seem to remember Alex Jones getting banned from YouTube in 2018. While rightwing, ultra-MAGA’s were already a thing, they were relatively small compared today. Alex Jones was the first high profile ban from social media and it was like tossing gasoline onto a small bush fire.
You have to remember that Trump did not win the first time because he had an army of fanatics. A lot of other factors were at play; from people still upset about the DNC’s snubbing of Bernie, to people who weren’t fully paying attention (remember, politics used to be boring), to people who voted for Trump simply “for the lols” (don’t discount this last group, any historical account that doesn’t factor in how important internet memes were to getting that man elected is being willfully ignorant) . Die-hard MAGA’s were relatively rare, and usually a source of ridicule.
Until their spokespeople started getting banned from places. It seems so small by today’s standards. People get banned and deplatformed all the time. But Alex Jones was the first real incident, and people saw it as a massive attack on free speech. To his relatively small number of followers, the man had his free speech rights violated by the left-wing news cabal for daring to speak the TRUTH™. Suddenly, all their bullshit was justified.
I’ve always been pretty far-left but I got a deep chill when that happened. I remember remarking to my friends that banning political speech, no matter how full of shit, would only cause problems in the long run, and so it has. Precedent was broken, and the right took it as a declaration of war. I truly believe things would not have gotten nearly as insane as they are had Google not decided to ban him. He deserved it, but they opened a door that couldn’t be shut again; and following this was a couple years of high-profile bans of rightwing figureheads and safe-spaces, all cumulating to the shut down of /r/theDonald in 2020. And the infection, which had been contained to a few small corners of the internet, suddenly exploded.
Just put a tea bag in a cup of water and microwave it.
This isn’t reddit, you can edit titles.
Maybe it’s because this is a comment thread about comparative history being performed in the same manner?
I think I nodded off like 3 times when watching Dune. It’s just so damn boring.
it’s also probably zero.
That’s not how math works.
They definitely won’t. Dune is boring as watching shit dry and Marvel has burned through all their good will long ago.
I get the strong feeling that none of these are real.
I’m sure they exist, but I’ve literally never heard someone make that claim while being serious.
So what exactly did you do to piss off the Amazon Returns department? Because from my experience, they are the most lenient company when it comes to returns/refunds. I’ve had stuff arrive broken, or scuffed up, or it was the wrong item, or I just plain didn’t like a product and every time I’ve been able to submit a return without having to interact with a single person.
I feel like you either have to be lying about your experience, didn’t even try to return it, or did something that got your account flagged.
Some kind of meaning behind them, huh?
Let me ask you something.
Can you count…
All the way…
To shfifty-five?
Frothing at the mouth
I’m not sure it was a lie, it’s the kind of thing that’s so minor it’s easy for someone on the marketing team to just not know about.
It’s like if a snack company put out a message saying they used no animal products and then later found out that a derivative of beeswax was used to lubricate some of the mechanisms in their packing machine.
If you want to be absolutely inflexible and refuse to allow any exceptions to the rules, no matter the circumstances, that’s fine. But you’ve gotta recognize the irony in that line of reasoning being more machine-like than human.
Too fucking stupid to recognize that people can’t predict the future. Too fucking stubborn to accept that you’re wrong when people point out what broken, dumbass logic you’re trying to use. You’re fucking cooked mate. Maybe get some sleep or grab a snack before you keep trying for the “Dumbest Comment of the Month” award.
