People with a lower IQ do menial jobs because it is all they can do, people with a higher IQ might do a menial job because that's what they want to do. Not everyone is motivated by wealth. In fact, the highest IQ's tend to belong

It wasn't the people against the Covid vaccine who were licking the boots of Big Pharma, it was the other people using force and shame to try and get a shot in every arm.

Email isn't an echo chamber like Mastodon instances are. Also, email isn't moderated like Mastodon instances are. Apples and oranges.

Another vote for Brave. On the rare occasion that Brave doesn't get the result I want, I'll go back to Google and bypass DDG completely now. My experience is that Brave is better than Google probably 50% of the time, equal probabl

Isn't that the difference between confirming to a schizophrenic that you believe them when they say they hear voices vs pretending that the voices they hear are real? Not meant as an offensive analogy, trying to understand how it'

Archive.org is less resistant to censorship though, as they have started removing "objectionable" material from the site, as long as enough people object to it. We saw that play out during the coordinated effort to erase KiwiFarms

It does. The question is, why would the mother being in prison be taken into consideration when the father being in prison never is?

Even calling them a bleeding edge tech company is selling them short. They are the only company in the world that can do what they do. Their website could have pictures of clowns in cars on it, and it wouldn't matter.

My admittedly ignorant take on it is that time moves in one direction, just at varying speed depending on how quickly you move. Much in the same way that distance travelled is always positive, regardless of direction. Traveling back in time

No. First, it dehumanizes the target. You're effectively playing a video game. Second, it obfuscates the operator and makes culpability harder to assess.

So it appears you don't understand what a donor advised fund is, and how that hides the way the money is used. Charities have strict financial disclosures on how their money is used, with the one exception being donations they make t

If I pay a company for a widget, I expect only that widget in return. If I make a donation to Wikipedia to ensure it can pay for its infrastructure, that is what I expect them to do with the money. I don't expect them to funnel my dona
