One for communists is hardly any different [to one for nazis] as far as I'm concerned.

What do you expect to happen when you call a group of people "hardly any different [to nazis]"?

Communism does not advocate genocide any more than capitalism does. A capitalist society may commit genocide, a communist society may commit genocide. Neither are required to by their economic systems.

National socialism directly advocates for genocide.

It's a ridiculous statement to compare communists to nazis and it's not surprising that insulting communists like that will get you banned.

(Adding islamism to the comparison just makes the statement even more bizarre.)

Reminder that this, like many things associated with ADHD, is normal for neurotypical people, too.

It tends to be more common or more pervasive for people with ADHD, but it isn't exclusive to people with ADHD.

General tip: Whenever you see someone claim that a certain way of thinking is exclusive to people with ADHD, they're most likely wrong.

The browser is highly performant, contains (nearly) all necessary (usability and privacy) features and is suitable for beginners.

The search has a nice interface that is usable without javascript, has an onion site and should be low on telemetry. It also (in my opinion) has the best search results after Google. And these search results are Brave's own results, not just resold Bing results; so they're actually bringing real competition to the search engine market.

I only hate smokers who smoke in the presence of others :)

(I'm european and I'm aware that includes a very large amount of people)

I think self harm is bad, not matter if you're rich or poor :)

(also smokers make me smell their smoke)

That's not the point. Yes, child porn sites can host child porn. Other sites/instances can't stop that. But what other instances can stop, is redistributing said child porn. And for that purpose, such technology would be useful.

Etar is pretty nice

Governments like the EU do not just regulate to gain power. No need to spread disinformation just so you can be more pessimistic.

Wouldn't finding an nb person attractive be hetero attraction? Since they're of a different gender?

Yes but did you know he did drone strikes

The reason people advocate for GrapheneOS is that it's a good OS.

It works on Chromium browsers. It does not work on Firefox.

Interesting to see even Mozilla apparently testing their websites only on Chromium.

I notice zero difference between preheated pizza and non-preheated pizza. What would the difference even be?

How are daily active users consistently decreasing while daily posts and comments are consistently increasing? Are fewer people participating more and more?

I guess, now it'll rain dislikes for me?

I find this to be a weird thing to add to a comment. Everytime I see this in a comment I wonder what its purpose is. Are you trying to prove that you know your opinion is unpopular? That you will stoically endure the downvotes to have your opinions heard? It seems odd.

South America is not "mainland of America"? What do you consider "mainland of America" if south America is not part of it?

Obviously she only rapes and violates men

What is "terf is not a slur" about? Am I out of the loop?

What makes you assume the employees ever cared about whether OpenAI is non-profit or not?

There's difference in disagreeing in opionion and thinking someone is just wrong. In the latter case, I find it reasonable to suppress their comment using downvotes.

Because SMS is severely insecure.

Use Signal, it's secure and isn't spyware.

The one thing that stops me from using NewPipe is not seeing answers to comments.

It's such an important feature but it's simply missing.

Until that's added I don't think NewPipe will be an option for me.

You're so rude

I don't see an issue in these two lines.

The only thing is that they are most likely not actually successive lines (because otherwise that code would be pretty weird).

I think that the point of the code is only to show the function names.

lets assume they make $65 million in profit every quarter

Where do you get this number from?

Hasn't Spotify been operating at a loss for most of its existence? Wouldn't that mean they paid 0€ to its creators most quaters (if it was actually calculated off profit)?

Eternity sometimes replaces a post's thumbnail with that of a post further down the list.

Pie Launcher

It's a very simple launcher which makes accessing your favorite applications easy and quick, no matter whether your finger is in the top right or bottom left of your screen.

in many cases when people bring up boy's or men's issues they will only do so while simultaneously attacking feminist talking points.

This is very much a talking point by "only girls can have issues" people.

"Men don't have issues, men's rights groups only exist to spread misogyny!"

That is a key point of why the idea that men's issues are not taken seriously is spreading, because simply talking about / focusing on men's issues quickly gets people labled as misogynists.

This both gets people to stop caring about the idea of misogynism, because "apparently simply talking about men's issues is misogyny", and thereby also pushes people to develop more problematic views.

But wouldn't that oppose the idea of transgender? If a trans woman is a woman, wouldn't they be more common in female dominated areas?
