Seems odd to say

And don't @ me about "100 corporations are responsible for like 90% of emissions". Who's buying those corporations' goods?

People bringing up the 100 corporations are usually calling for regulations on them, and the "you're the ones buying the goods" people are usually calling for Personal Responsibility and Voting With Your Wallet.

• stop trying to fix the climate
• war with Ruzzia is bad

Shill probability: 86%

Let me know when you hit puberty

Policy like regulating those 100 corporations?

Hahaha action is futile, do nothing but consume

So why is it in the privacy sub?

Their business model sounds 1000000% better than sucking up all your data and selling it to the highest bidder. Which is the alternative. Or people doing it for free/donations, which doesn't scale.

So? Then Brave gets some extra money for something I was going to click on anyway. I don't see the issue.

When I get a bill that's clearly illegal I usually just lol and shred it

They really don't, not that I've seen anyway. Just stuff like this article that's 10% them doing something perfectly reasonable and 90% people going "they just feel shady!"

If you can show me actually shady stuff they've done, I'm happy to change my mind.

Usually when I ask this, it's something like "they do ads!" to which the obvious reply is "yeah they tell you that upfront".

Brave is very open about how it pays for itself via ads. Y'all conspiracy theory turds are starting to annoy me.

How exactly were they known to be shady?

"I don't know why, but it just FEELS wrong" is usually the hallmark of a marketing campaign against something. See: Hillary Clinton.

I was just refuting / giving context to this:

For the entire US, personal vehicles are the largest source of emissions.

A lot of the fuckcars types think banning cars will fix the climate, just like vegans think banning meat will fix the climate. I was trying to head off any comments in that direction.

We need to do all of the things.

As long as it doesn't result in more suburban sprawl, which would undo the benefits of shorter commutes.

Not true.

https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions

Transportation, including commercial, is 28%. Electricity 25% and industry 23%.

Cars, trucks, etc account for only half of that 28%.

https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions#transportation

So even if we lump in commercial transportation with personal vehicles, it's still only 14% of ghg emissions or roughly half that of electricity generation.

Support renewable energy.

Wrong phrase, dumbass.

Black people are Black people

People of color are anyone not white, including Black people

If you want to say something about the Black community, you say "Black" rather than "people of color" because you're not talking about Latinos or Indians or whatever, you're talking about Black people.

At no point do you ever say a word that has a history of usage as a slur by racists.

Ugh and here I fell into the trap and went and typed a response that you're just going to ignore
