  • Oh FUCK! It's 2 weeks until the end of the semester and I completely forgot about my French class! I went to the first class and then never went back! Fuck! I don't even remember where the class is, or who my professor was! It's way too late to drop! Fuck fuck fuck. Is it possible to learn an entire semester of French in 2 weeks? Would that even help? I've missed every assignment! Fuck! What if I-

    Huhwha-? A dream? What the hell brain? I graduated college 10 years ago! I never even TOOK French!

  • Go to bakery, give them a flash drive, ask them to make a cake with a picture of the flashdrive.

    "Umm... You mean use a picture on the flashdrive?"

    "No, I want you to take a picture of the flashdrive itself and put it on the cake... It's for a joke..."

    "Ok, whatever, you're the customer!"

    Post picture of the cake you specifically requested "Omg! LoOk whAt thE BaKery diD!!!1"

  • I know of the controversies, I just don't think they're all that big when you actually examine them.

    Homophobia

    I'm part of the LGBT community and I just think there are bigger fish to fry. One of the guys involved made a $1k donation to an anti-prop 8 campaign like 15 years ago. That's it. That's the controversy. Like, yea it's shitty, but there was a lot more hate toward the community back then. People have grown and changed their views a lot in the years since. If we boycott every single company or individual who ever did anything even remotely homophobic, no matter their actions since, we'd essentially have to be living in a commune growing and making literally everything ourselves. Btw, this same guy is the one who developed JavaScript and I don't see even remotely the same level of hate for that, so it really feels like people are just being selectively upset.

    Cryptocurrency

    It's opt-in. It asks you once, and then never again. It was developed at a time when crypto was popular and was a feature people wanted. It was seen as a good thing when it first came out. Public opinion on crypto has soured, but plenty of people who wanted it still use the feature on brave. They have no good reason to scrap it. Especially because, again, it's opt-in only. Don't like it? Cool, don't use it. They aren't pushing it on you. But people hear the word crypto and immediately break out the pitchforks.

    Do you even know what the goal of their cryptocurrency was? I think it's safe to say its failed at this point, but the goal was to completely rework how ads function on the internet. It would have killed the modern advertisement methods where ads are shoved in your face and you get nothing for it. Instead, it would have directly paid you a tiny amount any time you saw an ad, with you being able to choose how many you saw, or even if you saw any at all. Then you'd either be able to either keep the money for yourself, or donate it to websites/content creators of your choice. Take away the crypto part of it, and that's actually a pretty admirable goal in my book.

    Ad affiliate links

    Brave's biggest, actual, controversy is that they replaced some affiliate links with their own. Specifically links to binance.us, which is a crypto market. When it was found, Brave changed their code extremely quickly and claimed it was a bug. Now, companies have often lied through their teeth and claimed malicious actions were a "mistake" or a "bug", so maybe that is the same case here. But considering it was one site only, it was fixed almost immediately, and when you look at how it was actually replacing links (suggested auto fill in the address bar, pulled from browsing history) I am leaning toward it actually being unintentional.

    Conclusion

    I think people just like to hate things, and will find any reason to continue to do so as long as their little corner of the internet tells them they should hate it. People most vocal with their complaints rarely take the time to dig into the facts and see if it's really as bad as they claim; or they fully know it's not as bad, but never want to let the truth get in the way of a good ol' fashion, hate-boner, circle-jerk.

    Is Brave the best browser? Hahahaha no. It's still a chromium fork and has been a little too eager to integrate AI in my opinion. But it's FAR from the worst and is the probably the best privacy focused browser for those that don't understand technology and struggle to use third-party ad-ons. It's just a little ridiculous that while there are legitimate things to complain about, most people's arguments seem to always stem from the 3 topics above.

    Now cue the downvotes because I'm clearly some crypto fascist boot-licker for daring to believe "nuance" isn't a made up word.

  • When companies drill for oil, are they not drilling holes because only one end is open?

  • How about the digestive system?

    Jump

  • I hate this faulty logic. Of course there are two holes. Look, plug one end and do the unfold method in the comic again so instead of one hole in the center, it's just a solid disk. Does that mean if the straw is plugged at one end there are zero holes? Of course not.

  • That's like saying you got arrested for making a sign that says "Fuck Nazis!" and then it turns out you were just spray painting it on random buildings.

    DO. NOT. TRUST. POLLS.

    This feels like a fucking repeat of the 2024 election. The internet naively believing they know the outcome, because certainly people can't be that ignorant and shitty, can they?

    They can.

    They are.

    Go talk to people in the real world, instead of reading articles written by fellow shut-ins, and realize that the narrative is FAR different for the average person. You people are setting yourselves up for disappointment. Again.

    My prediction is the Dems will pick up just barely enough seats to take back control of the House. Not a snowballs chance in hell of taking back the Senate.

  • What’s up with Myrrh being more prevalent?

    Jump

  • This is the answer. A few days back, the Wordle word was "Myrrh", which fucked a lot of people up because it's an uncommon word and spelled very strangely. Because of that, people have been talking about the word a lot, which has in turn caused it to be used a lot recently. All these people talking about Baader-Meinhof are just pulling an assumption out of their ass because they don't know the real reason.

    You're not imagining things OP.

  • Guess it depends who you're playing with. I play with my friends and we're comfortable enough with each other to get one another's humor and do some light ribbing, but I suppose that's not everyone's experience.

  • Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?

    Jump

  • I sure do. Of course doctors and nurses were essential because it was a health crisis. But it was grocery store workers, Starbucks baristas, Amazon warehouse workers because people are idiots and think stuff like that mattered. I remember sports teams and reality TV contestants being put in quarantine so they could safely compete. I remember it wasn't teachers, as classes were canceled before going online only for about a year and a half.

    So what's your point?

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

    Jump

  • Yea, but that conflicts with the narrative that money and success can't insulate you from depression and that everyone is secretly struggling exactly the same; so people have chosen to ignore that part.
