I find it amazing how no politicians really call out republican use of "urban" when we all know they mean "black".
And they still think it's subtle and clever, and that they "get away with it"... They're so fucking dumb.

Of course they will, and at least 90% of those will stop moderating within a week bcause they have no idea what it entails and just like the sound of having power.
Another 9.99% will push personal agendas, post ads, malware, etc. or a dozen other things that will kill the sub.
In the end they'll probably get decent moderatos for less than a tenth of those they seek.
Update on the vote results, for people who don't want to go there:
Pro John Oliver: 61.7k
Return to normal: -13.7k.
It's a custom protocol that uses SSL/TLS for key exchange and such, so it can be detected. It's actually causing huge problems for many large Russian companies, as it's common to use those protocols for remote access, work, etc.
As mentioned in the article you need something like "Shadowsocks" to avoid protocl blocking, since it fully disguises the traffic as standard SSL/TLS. Which was created for, and is still used to circumvent this type of blocking in "the great firewall of china".
Yeah the whole "I love unions, but we at this company are a family so we don't need that", is peak anti-union talk. Throughout history it's been used by people who are horrible to their employees.
Just look at the facts: These are the places where you have to preserve the life of a fetus just because you can hear a heartbeat
Not even.
Women have been forced to carry dead fetuses, which will kill them from sepsis as it starts to decompose.
And the people who voted for it will deny it ever happening, until something similar happens to someone they know. Then they'll cry on the street corners about how unfair it is.
Remember: Scientific studies have shown that many conservatives are cold hearted and stupid, by demonstrating a clear correlation between conservative thinking/behaviour and lower than average cognitive ability and empathy. And literally every single one of them think they are a super genius and they think most people secretly share their political views.
With the TL;DR being: Google/Alphabet wants to more easily block non-chrome browsers ability to use their services, and prevent the use of adblocking.
Which also means that many people using accessability tools will be unable to access them. And they are trying to get Firefox to implement it as well, so they don't take all the blame when shit hits the fan and they start getting multi-billion dollar monopoly fines from the EU.
So like how doctors are oppressing death and disease?
Here they go again with the silent majority bullshit.
They still can't wrap their heads around the fact that they are a tiny minority.
There are multiple stories like that from several people.
Apparently there were people at Tesla who were effectively employed to get fired when he was in one of his moods.
And if you read enough of the stories it all comes down to basically a single PA who kept him away from important things. And that person stopped working for him shortly before the public realized what an asshole he is.
And after learning that, I can't stop wondering who they work for now... And I want to see a show based on their biography.
That's because they all think they are the special individual that will be given special treatment and that all the bad things will happen to groups they don't like.
Because they are stupid.
That's why we got the famous direct quote: "He's not hurting the right ones".
Long story short, he was always a slimy asshole, but here are some key points from wikipedia and just in regards to his mayoral position:
Hated the homeless and tried to have them "removed"(used cops to arrest them and shove them in overcrowded shetlers. A church ended up suing the city for their right to help homeless people)
"cracked down on crime", by basically aggressively arresting people for minor crimes like jumping the turnstile.
Tried to stop multiple community service proogram for the mentally ill, elderly, day-care, etc.
Big fan of "eminent domain" to take buildings and give them to his sponsors.
Racist with multiple racist pollcies, many staffers and leaders left because of him.
He threaten funding for the Brooklyn Musem if they didn't remove several pieces, specifically including one called "The Holy Virgin Mary" which was of a black person. Calling it a governement-supported attack on christianity and they had to sue the city.
Campaigned on fixing public schools, but cut $2bill of their budget and $4.7bill from the repairs budget
Two days after Columbine he said he wanted to "blow up" the Board of Education.
Wanted to imprison the teachers union president if they went into strike(their contract was up and the city hadn't started any renegotiation)
Allegedly cheated on his wife with his spokeswoman
Tried to threaten Time Warner to have Fox on their cable network, and defended Murdoch when all the surveillance and bribery scandals came about
His administration lost 22 out of 26 civil liberty lawsuits against them, mostly for trying to stifle first amandment rights.
He wanted a deal with Virginia in which they had to take NYCs trash, in exchange for them being able to visit NYCs culture sites. He also tried to send it to New Jersey, and announced that wihtout actually talking to them first, at all. This all happened because he closed a landfill 20-30 years too early , because he didn't like how it looked, so it had to be shipped out of town. Costing millions, causing even more pollution, etc.

And much, much more.
It's a strategy straight out of MBA textbooks: Once you're above a certain size and have a large "common consumer" base, you kick out everyone who would complain about shitty practices and exploitative behaviour. Then you squeeze out all the money you can over a year or three before the rest realize and leave.
It's fast ROI at the cost of customer retention and long term profits. And investors literally don't care if the company goes bankrupt as long as they get that money. Because they'll just move on to the next company and do the same thing all over.
The modern version of a pizza is sometimes said to have been invented in the late 1800s, since that is when the first "proper" recipe is from. But there are a few key points that might inform your question and other answers:
Flat bread baked with toppings already on it has been a thing for several thousand years across the world.
Among which was a type of street food referred to as pizza in Italy before the Tomato arrived in europe
Tomato is from the Americas, it wasn't known and didn't exist in europe until the mid 1500s.
On its own a fresh tomato is not very nurishing compared with other common fruits and vegetables, and since toxic versions exisited, it was mostly used as table decoration in places like Italy for a while.
The first mention of tomatoes as an ingredient in an Italian cookbook is from 1692. And it wasn't widely adopted as a staple food until the 1700s.
There are descriptions from the mid 1800s talking about the wide variety of pizza toppings, as it was already an established food by that point.
You have to remember that the people promoting this sort of thing never in a million years think it would affect themselves or their loved ones. They are 100% convinced it will be used to "punish" people, just not themselves.
You see it literally every time republicans implement things like abortion bans, detainment camps, child labor etc. And republicans start crying in the media and say stupid shit like "He's not hurting the right ones"....
It's the classic of asking people who make unironically sexist jokes to explain what exactly makes it funny.
They tend to either shut up in embarrassment or start talking about how you just don't "get" the humor and try to move on. Because they know they can't explain it without looking like an asshole.
I’ve read these stories multiple times now and I still don’t quite understand what’s happening.
That's because it's mostly lies and propaganda not aimed at you, but the Russian people.
Russians have been burning those offices for over a year, with it ramping up after people started getting forcefully recruited. Russia as always is trying to say it's not "real russians" doing it, but people influenced by "the evil west". It's their standard strategy when it comes to pretty much any set back, ever. In this case it's mostly blamed on "evil ukranian scammers", so they can keep justifying the invasion and occupation.
A tire valve stem removal tool is a few dollars.
TL;DR: Brave Software has their HQ in California and they are they're stealing data and selling it and giving "rights" to other people. Lawsuits are probably already being filed by multiple companies come monday.
And it's not in an "our AI 'read' the page and is making their own", it's straight up taking entire sentences and almost entire paragraphs from places like wikipedia and selling them as original data without attribution(which is required by the license used by wikimedia/pedia)
One important thing to note is that for many it hurts a lot less than you'd think, basically feeling like a light scratch.
Wikipedia has more detailed information and sources:
Those who engage in self-harm face the contradictory reality of harming themselves while at the same time obtaining relief from this act. It may even be hard for some to actually initiate cutting, but they often do because they know the relief that will follow. For some self-harmers this relief is primarily psychological while for others this feeling of relief comes from the beta endorphins released in the brain.
Endorphins are endogenous opioids that are released in response to physical injury, acting as natural painkillers and inducing pleasant feelings, and in response to self-harm would act to reduce tension and emotional distress. Many self-harmers report feeling very little to no pain while self-harming and, for some, deliberate self-harm may become a means of seeking pleasure.
Don't even have to go that far back: Italy is massively corrupt with organized crime running parts of the country and with a literal facsist representing them in the EU Parliment(Mussolinis granddaugher in fact). This current prime minister that is being referred to in the post is a self-proclaimed "national conservative".
And the fact that they kept letting Berlusconi run things is all the proof you need of how corrupt the entire country is(his "controversies" part on wikipedia is so large that it has its own page with 160 citations, he is also connected to the party of the person mentioned above).
But it has some amazing tourist locations and food, so people gloss over that as well.
It's funny how they never expect the things they vote for to negatively impact their own lives, only other peoples lives.
The fact that they're surprised every time it happens is just sad, since it shows that they are literally delusional.
Don't forget that Duck Duck Go is even worse at it now. It will literally change your results if you go back after clicking a link.
I was shocked when I found out how common external/bleeding hemorrhoids can be(Almost 3/4 adults will have them from time to time).
Then it all clicked when I realized people sit on the toilet for 15min+, which is a major contributor to that condition.
As always when it comes to conservatives, you can trace their behaviour back to projection and how they think everyone else is just like themselves.
They put personal faith into the person they support, and see any criticism of that person as a personal attack. And they assume everyone else does as well, so they honestly think talking negatively about Hunter Biden is a personal blow to democratic voters.
It's honestly delusional.
You'd recommened AC: Origins for a five year old?
I don't think the special scenes when you kill important targets would sit well with me. In one you smash someones face in repeatedly. You also play at least half the game as a male character.
The people putting forth these suggestions never really leave their airconditioned place of work, cars, homes, and rarely hotels or vacation homes. They are usually unaffected by floods, tornadoes, storms, fires, etc.
And republicans live by the creed that if it's not directly impacting themselves it is either not real, or if it is, it's not that serious.
There's no need to be mean to get banned.
Just tweet about things like Tawian being a country, tag Japanese governemental accounts while bringing up the horrors of Ishii Shiro, defend children in Palestine, etc.
Always remember the magic words when it comes to corporate bullshit: "Can I get that in writing?"
Going to the about window to check for updates is a decades old thing among thousands of different software(it's the same in Edge, Chrome, Opera(old and new), etc)
Clicking on the "Add-ons and Themes" literally takes you straight to the extension tab(extensions are add-ons).
The bigger question is how the fuck did we manage to make it as far as we have?
That's not really a big question.
We made it this far because unlike what conservatives think, most people dissagree with them.
I'm guessing it will be magically overwritten a few seconds before it ends.
It's a general trend of vulture capitalism, or more accurately locust capitalism, over the last several years.
Investors want extreme ROI(Return on Investement, aka their money back and some extra), so they'll cut every single corner and monetize everything, and even run companies into the ground to make it happen faster. And then just move on to another company and to the same thing, with absolutely zero interest in long term income, customer retention, etc.
In most places companies become blocked from operating in the country, and any potential assets in the country will be taken as compensation.
There might also be a lawsuit in the companies main country of operation.
You'll get more radiation climbing a mountain or taking an airplane ride than drinking water just off the coast where it's being released.
It's the conspiracy theorist mindset:
They're people who wish they were smart, and can't handle that they're not. So they latch onto ideas that most people agree are dumb. Then use that to convince themselves that they're super geniuses who have realized the truth of something that even scientists couldn't figure out.
Then when they're challenged with evidence or facts, they double down and start insulting or even assaulting people in response. Because they don't see it as evidence in an argument, they just think the other person is calling them stupid and that really strikes a nerve.
TL;DR: They're in denial and project their own self-hatred onto others.
They were already fined in South Korea in January, for lying about the range(it was only $2.2m, but it shows that there are regulations and ramifications).
And it looks like there is evidence of them intentionally making their "remaining distance" softawre lie, and more. So it wouldn't surprise me if the EU is getting involved, which means there might be much bigger fines coming.
They're animals, so no.
What is with the "/s"?
He literally will try to sue once someone tells him about it(because he is a "programmer" that basically doesn't know what linux is and thinks open source means he can take it).
The ceo is a bigoted asshole, Brave is chromium, it was initially funded by Peter Thiel and they're literally just trying to make their own adsense network.
The self-proclaimed privacy focused browser is tracking your browsing and want to serve you personalized ads, and I think they want to use that tracking data for AI training as well, meaning other people can potentially access it.
And lets not forget about their crypto currency that you can earn by turning on special ads. Which they seemingly unironically called it "Basic Attent Tokens"..
TL;DR: The company is basically a sham company trying to usher in a dystopia. Where you'll get paid for staring at ads, while having all your data stolen and sold back to you.
