cant even use proper grammar.

Perhaps you meant can’t.

Tiger King got me and my son through some dark times.

lemm.ee got shut down for whatever reason

Because the admin was burnt out and was unable to find help.

I think all actors retain their ability to act, yes. What you are likely seeing in a movie however is a stunt performer doing choreographed and well rehearsed moves.

Not my work, it is from a saved comment by @cannedtuna@lemmy.world in a now deleted post.

This is a very well written an thorough article and I highly recommend reading it. If you don’t want to however, here is a summary of the key points:

• Brendan Eich’s anti-LGBTQ+ political involvement

• • Brendan Eich donated to anti-LGBT political organizations, politicians, and initiatives such as CA Prop 8 which banned same-sex marriages.

• 2016 — Brave Browser promises to replace webpage ads

• • Brave promised to replace ads with privacy friendly ads that would actually pay publishers and even users with a volatile cryptocurrency while keeping a cut for themselves. This never actually came to life and was criticized as “blatantly illegal”.

• 2018 — Brave runs a questionable donation campaign

• • Brave collected donations for popular content creators without actually involving or seeking consent from said creators. In short they accepted donations in crypto for creators, but would only pay out if it reached a minimum value of $100. When called out, Brave said refunds were impossible.

• 2020 — Brave injects referral links when visiting crypto wallets

• • Brave injected their own referral links for services such as Binance without informing users or asking permission.

• 2020 — Brave puts ads in user’s home screens

• • Brave turned their home screen image rotator into a place to serve ads, many of which were suspicious or crypto related.

• 2021 - Brave ships an insecure Tor feature

• • Brave added a Tor feature which exposed users DNS requests

• 2023 - Brave hides their crawlers to websites

• • Brave refuses to disclose their crawler bot to websites since many websites want to block Brave Search. Brave will only chose not to crawl a website if it also blocks Google’s crawler.

• 2024 - So-called “privacy browser” deprecated advanced fingerprinting protection

• • Brave removed a the Strict, Block Fingerprinting privacy feature from their browser.

• And More!

• • Brave paid for targeted ads for users searching for Firefox in the Play Store and ran a campaign to “Forget the Fox”. When called out on this the VP publicly denied it and claimed it was photo-shopped.
• • The VP of Brave, Luke Mulks, frequently posts about all things crypto, from NFTs to FTX, and uses AI-gen images to promote them. He also frequently re-tweets right-wing activists.
• • Brendan Eich’s feed also frequently contains right-wing content and Republican propaganda despite his claims to be “independent”.

Edit: corrected a mistake noted below.

And run by a homophobic crypto bro.

Whether it affects inflation or not, it is having a negative impact on my small business. I own a brick and mortar game shop, people are spending far less than normal. They are worried about food and other necessities to be able to spend on leisure.

January and June are the only two months I have not had to play rent and other bills for the shop out of savings. I have not had to do that for 6 years, not even during COVID.

I had a friend who pretty much only eats because he knows if he does not he will die. He is perpetually underweight. He just does not enjoy eating at all. Even foods he enjoys he hates to eat.

Meanwhile, I am over here knowing I am full and standing in the fridge to see what I can make to eat.

Try a truck stop.

Hopefully it has success at breaking us from our failed two party system, while at the same time the party itself fails (and costs him lot of money in the process).

Which implies that PokeBalls have existed for millions of years…

Evolution in Pokémon does not take millions of years. If you leave a Pokémon in your pocket with the wrong rock it is going to evolve, or if it becomes your friend it may evolve.

What bombs in Pokémon? Geodude and a few others have Self Destruct, but I do not recall bombs.
