Sadly, it seems both sides of any discussion have now mastered hyperbole, manipulating statistics, leaving out facts and stretching the truth to make their argument. You basically can't believe anything you read any longer.

Didn't we get to that point by the loud ones being able to vote their chosen into office though? That's the part that surprises me, that there were enough of them to get the proper people in office to dismantle the country's democratic process.

It seems just the American religious right are doing that. There just seems to be many more of them than I first imagined.

At the dealership last month, I was looking at a used truck on the lot and looked at the window sticker on the new truck next to it. $87,000. For a Chevrolet pickup truck. How many people can afford almost 6 figures for something that's supposed to haul stuff?

It seems like the disconnect between the sellers and buyers is growing and I don't think it can continue for much longer without some kind of crash.

I'm pretty sure that the majority of people using ad blockers on Youtube will never, ever buy something based on a forced Youtube ad.

On the desktop, I use Ublock Origin and FB Purity.

On my phone, I use Hermit to containerize FB Mobile and that's routed through my app and web adblocker, Adguard. I literally haven't seen an FB ad in years with this setup. FBP also allows you to turn off pretty much every annoyance on the site(you may know, if you like this then, people who do this do..)

I haven't paid a dime and have had ad-free FB for years.

Had the child been armed, this tragedy would have never occurred. 'Murica!

I can't say I don't use Google as I own an unrooted pixel on the Fi network but I've done what I'm able to lessen the information given to them by stopping the use of the search engine, browser and sandboxing any Google pages in my FF browser. It started bothering me how much I was relying on one company for nearly everything online.

My next phone will likely be rooted and running a different OS.

I don't know of them and I've used it for as long as it's been available.

I'm having problems finding unpatched vulnerabilities on Android ff, could you expand on what makes it less secure?
