  • I’ve read these stories multiple times now and I still don’t quite understand what’s happening.

    That's because it's mostly lies and propaganda not aimed at you, but the Russian people.

    Russians have been burning those offices for over a year, with it ramping up after people started getting forcefully recruited. Russia as always is trying to say it's not "real russians" doing it, but people influenced by "the evil west". It's their standard strategy when it comes to pretty much any set back, ever. In this case it's mostly blamed on "evil ukranian scammers", so they can keep justifying the invasion and occupation.

  • If you're thinking of the modern pop-culture version of the anti-christ, then no.

    If you compare his behaviour to how the bible actually describes the anti-christ, then yes.


    According to the bible he is supposed to:

    • Be a divisive non-politician who comes into power against peoples expectations.
    • Be overly arrogant with great boastful speeches
    • Lead many people away from Jesus and cause them to blindly follow himself.
    • Lead a very powerful military nation
    • Publically threaten people as a common tactic
    • Be very focused on winning/conquering
    • Rise to power through collusion, lies and corruption.
    • His election into power will by some be seen as a miracle
    • Will use his power to enrich themselves and their allies
    • Spread lies and falsehoods as truth, general lies and deception.
    • It specifically says he will reward his allies with land/property
    • Become angry and threaten the "King of the south"(Mexico)
    • Be supported by some of the nations most powerful religious leaders(super churches and such support him)
    • See themselves as above everyone else
    • Disregard the needs of the most vulnerable in society
    • Some will rise up in protest and face violence in return

    Some things that are almost too on the nose:

    • Only see one term
    • Attempt to stay in power but defeated by the legal system
    • Use his armed forced to remove people from a church for their own nefarious needs
    • During their rule there will be large inflation in food cost, while oil remains cheap
    • There will be a pandemic and mass death during their rule
    • Supposed to worship the "god of fortresses" (in reference of walls and keeping people out)
    • Followers will wear a mark on their forehead (maga caps)
  • I'm going to trust multiple peer-reviewed medical studies over a youtube talk with under 600 views.

    Specially when it's on a channel branding itself as being skeptical towards science.


    EDIT: On a closer look it's straight up just one of those conspiracy theory channels and organizations that present itself as actual science.

    And here's a study if someone wants to look at actual science regarding the placebo effect:

  • There might be some bias involved based on the third paragraph:

    The good news is that users can opt out of this data collection by deselecting it during the installation process. However, the process isn’t too straightforward either unlike AMD, which explicitly asks the user whether they want to opt out of data collection. Nvidia, however, enables and installs its Telemetry components by default and users are unable to opt out of it.

  • The ceo is a bigoted asshole, Brave is chromium, it was initially funded by Peter Thiel and they're literally just trying to make their own adsense network.

    The self-proclaimed privacy focused browser is tracking your browsing and want to serve you personalized ads, and I think they want to use that tracking data for AI training as well, meaning other people can potentially access it.

    And lets not forget about their crypto currency that you can earn by turning on special ads. Which they seemingly unironically called it "Basic Attent Tokens"..

    TL;DR: The company is basically a sham company trying to usher in a dystopia. Where you'll get paid for staring at ads, while having all your data stolen and sold back to you.

  • The fact that you even think that "both sides" is a valid argument, means that your opinion is literally worthless.

    Because either you are intentionally arguing in bad faith and you know you're lying, or you actually believe that. Which means you lack the mental capacity to see something objectively.

  • It's funny how they never expect the things they vote for to negatively impact their own lives, only other peoples lives.

    The fact that they're surprised every time it happens is just sad, since it shows that they are literally delusional.

  • It's the conspiracy theorist mindset:

    They're people who wish they were smart, and can't handle that they're not. So they latch onto ideas that most people agree are dumb. Then use that to convince themselves that they're super geniuses who have realized the truth of something that even scientists couldn't figure out.

    Then when they're challenged with evidence or facts, they double down and start insulting or even assaulting people in response. Because they don't see it as evidence in an argument, they just think the other person is calling them stupid and that really strikes a nerve.

    TL;DR: They're in denial and project their own self-hatred onto others.

  • The main deflector or deflector array is crucial for stopping microscopic particles from wrecking most ships at relativistic speeds, and is technically called the "navigational deflector" for that reason.

    At sub-light speeds those same particles are barely noticable, if at all, when stopped by the normal shields, basic deflectors or even hull plates. Which why they don't modify it while at warp, and pretty much only use it while at sub-light speeds.

    In-universe it was designed to serve multiple purposes and be used in research or defense of other ships. And I seem to remember there being some sort of lockout where the ship wont go to warp if it can't engage the deflector. Since even a small particle cloud could destroy the entire ship a fraction of a second after it set off.
