Logical

I think the teacher in this case was a guy

US really trying its best to be the worst. Land of the expensive and unfree.

Idk why, but this is oddly satisfying to me.

This is something I am considering. Could even put it in a Faraday bag when I'm not using it.

Unfortunately it doesn't really work that way where I'm from.

I really wish I wasn't so dependent on certain financial apps. How much happier I would be to just give Google the finger and switch to Lineage, Graphene, or something like that. Unfortunately, a lot of must-have apps for me to even be able to live in my country, practically speaking, are incompatible with anything other than official iOS and Android.

Blue portal instead?

Relatable

I think it's referring to the "you can't block ads on YT or we might ban you" popups you get on YT occasionally, if you're using an adblocker. I have only had it happen once or twice before I did a quick online search and found an extra filter or two to add to uBlock Origin, and then I stopped seeing them.

Well you can't attach a machine gun to a dog with teeth. I mean you can, but it won't hit anything.

I don't really see the things he did and said (he didn't AFAIK actually make that fiverr order btw) as taking "a fascist turn". Not excusing him using slurs on stream or his weird dogwhistles to fascists during that period, though, he certainly did and said things he should not have. But I think there's a difference between farming edgy meme culture, in an insensitive way, for views, and actually espousing fascist views and trying to convert people to them. I might be missing something, and I'm under no illusion that the guy is some perfectly kind and humble person, but I think he's more than made up for his prior mistakes as a public figure, with what he's doing as a public figure now. It's quite clear he's no longer in the cancerous influencer rat race, and hasn't been for some time.

I have no scientific sources I can point to to back it up. A hunch is what it is, ultimately. It seems true to me, but I suppose I could be wrong. I suspect it's difficult to really prove this one way or the other.
