That is the most disturbing part of this whole mess. People seem to actually believe that Russel Brand is a danger to the establishment. He acts like a teenager who got grounded, and then goes on a rant about how the illuminati imprisoned him because he was about to uncover the truth about the yeti.

Literally a 50-year-old man-baby who just realized what people usually realize when they are teenagers; corporations want to earn money, governments are involved in wars, there is something called capitalism, and life is not fair.

How is preaching those things on Youtube a threat to the establishment? Dude got fucking canceled cuz people dug up the dirt, it happens but does not mean you're the second coming of Jesus Christ, Neo or Che Guevara.

Seriously, what is wrong with the world? Also I thought Blumenthal was smart, wtf.

"only" 15-17 monkeys, but thousands of other animals, insanely depressing. the more you read about it, the more you will start to actually believe that the death of one particular primate could indeed be beneficial for humanity ...

On several occasions over the years, Musk has told employees to imagine they had a bomb strapped to their heads in an effort to get them to move faster, according to three sources who repeatedly heard the comment. On one occasion a few years ago, Musk told employees he would trigger a “market failure” at Neuralink unless they made more progress, a comment perceived by some employees as a threat to shut down operations, according to a former staffer who heard his comment. Five people who’ve worked on Neuralink’s animal experiments told Reuters they had raised concerns internally. They said they had advocated for a more traditional testing approach, in which researchers would test one element at a time in an animal study and draw relevant conclusions before moving on to more animal tests. Instead, these people said, Neuralink launches tests in quick succession before fixing issues in earlier tests or drawing complete conclusions. The result: More animals overall are tested and killed, in part because the approach leads to repeated tests. One former employee who asked management several years ago for more deliberate testing was told by a senior executive it wasn’t possible given Musk’s demands for speed, the employee said. Two people told Reuters they left the company over concerns about animal research.

it's not that easy to find a real Youtube alternative, I tried it recently and got meek results, sharing them from my personal notebook:

  • Odysee – a youtube for righwingers and scammers 😒
  • removedute – a youtube for the far right lost in conspiracy madness 🤮
  • DTube – a youtube that runs on Blockchain? 🙄
  • Vimeo – NEXT!
  • Daylimotion – hm, not bad maybe but idk 🤔
  • peertube – too confusing 😵‍💫
  • means.tv – seems nice, but too expensive 😢

Nebula costs ~$15/year. The content is mostly great, mobile app is a disaster.

Did you already install it? (I didnt)

No idea what the colors are for, but I think you can also use random symbols, not just numbers? And even if it's just numbers that don't change, it will not be the numbers of your actual pin.

And yes, you'd need to remember the patterns. I myself to thst anyway with all my pins.

Somettimes there are card payment terminals with the numbers in a randomized order; I always need to take my phone out to look at a normal numpad so I can remember my actual pin. 😅
