Which is what I suggested they continue to use but for those who are concerned about privacy by default I would still suggest something in between.

I use plain old firefox there are few sites that require chromium. I have noticed that enhanced tracking protection and adblock can both break some sites. Whether it makes sense to turn them off or use a different site depends on the site.

Someone should ship librewolf with less stupid defaults

Reports of its death are GREATLY exaggerated. I would suggest continuing to simply use firefox and disable any future crap you don't prefer.

That said librewolf which is intended to be firefox with stronger privacy settings by default that said

  • Default settings break more websites
  • You have to get extensions manually from for instance github because it doesn't use mozillas addon (it can probably be enabled)
  • It doesn't use the built in password manager which is in fact privacy preserving so you have to enable it or use something else
  • you don't get syncing via firefox sync which is in fact already privacy preserving so you have to enable it if you want it
  • It doesn't remember cookies without manually adding an exception to each site this is extremely obnoxious. I'm sure its configurable though

At this time it is far easier to disable the few things that may be undesired from firefox vs turning librewolf into an acceptable option.

Because Harris is both Black and Indian heritage and curry and fried chicken are the two foods most stereotypically associated with each aspect of her heritage. It's not like he picked two random foods.

Did the motherfucker forget to add watermelon to the list? It's amazing that even when he isn't trying the racism just flows out like spit dripping down his lip

A: I feel like an actual fascist takeover of America would open the door to more direct bribery like wire transfers of large amounts of funds. If you transfer 10M to him he gets the entire 10M not half.

B: I think people buying it either believe in the theory of utility you outlined or are betting on others perception of the utility more so than direct belief in real value as is common with meme stocks. There is also probably a non trivial percentage which have no reasonable theory of value whatsoever which are making an emotional decision as to investing comparatively small amounts of personal monies.

This is a basic misunderstanding of reality. It's shitty and useless even for him. If he wins he wont need it.

That is the great thing about hate it doesn't really require specific knowledge. Most of the people who lynched black folks in the south didn't have a lot of specific understanding of the cultures or history of the people they hated they had a sort of diffuse hatred based on nothing real. Assuming that historical issues aren't a root of anything because the rabble doesn't specifically understand why they are supposed to hate someone is just a basic misunderstanding of how people work.

It's like thinking the smell of shit doesn't come from the turd because the people smelling it can't actually see it.

The United States actually paid reparations to slavers. We paid slavers in DC the equivalent of $9000 per slave.

It's a social media company with very few active users which loses piles of money and takes in a pittance in return. It is worth less than nothing. If he holds it when it goes to zero than he loses all possible profit. Of course he's going to sell.

You are acting as if it were actually complicated. Requiring no duty to retreat makes perfect sense in your own home. The law most sane places says you have to be in a situation where a reasonable person would be in fear for life or bodily injury.

Note "reasonable person" is a common legal standard. A reasonable person doesn't think someone outside is automatically a threat. People who shiit then ask questions go to jail.
