Yeah but "putting a conservative amount of jelly on your toast" has nothing to do with being a conservationist, because "a conservative amount of government" isn't what exist or has historically existed.

I think your analogy is fundamentally flawed, because just because the words ("conservative amount of jelly" and "being a political conservative") are same, they don't have anything else in common.

It is like when Republicans claim that the US isn't a democracy, because they are afraid it means support for the Democrats. Two different words with different meanings.

Those are positions I consider conservative, and hold myself, that aren’t reflected in current Republican policy.

None of those are specific to conservatism, and I would say some of the opposites of those position, like opposition to gay marriage and abortion, has historically always been part of conservatism.

More interestingly would be to learn what specific conservative policies you subscribe to. Policies which you don't think exists in other ideologies.

There is not a lot to laugh about with flat earthers. The theory stems from Christian fundamentalism, and it is tightly connected to the christofascist movements trying to coup the USA at the moment.

And no, they are not going to give up their beliefs, because they didn't come by them through rational thought, so rational thought isn't going to disprove it for them.

I haven't watched the video, but I suspect it aligns somewhat with my own experience. Online fps used to be my goto genre, but the competitiveness, toxicity and the widespread cheating made me realise that it stressed me out more than it entertained me. So I cut them off a couple of years ago in favour of single player games, often moddable single player games with good replayability like Kenshi or Stellaris (although I also like more linear games which just provides some good no frills entertainment).

It really has made a huge difference in how gaming functions for me. Much more relaxing and stress relieving, not to mention that I have more control over the amount I play, since I can always just save the game and turn it off without feeling I am missing out on something.

That is only because the cats sense that you don't like them. If you actually liked them they behave pretty much as you experience dogs does to you.

Apparently it is a popular American myth.

Kenshi. Unlimited replayability and modability.

You are being written off as a Trump bootlicker because you parrot Trump propaganda. Perhaps fixing your need to regurgitate Trump propaganda should be the first thing that needs fixing?

Not when you realise that you would be completely without the aid of modern medicine. A simple infection could kill you in a matter of days.

Your experience is wrong. KKK and others existed just fine before and during WWII.

Or any chromium based browser for that matter.

Firefox + ublock definitely works.

French cider is also cloudy. And it contains alcohol.

Apple cider can keep for a long time as well. In fact in the 18th century Americans drank it all year round and favoured it over beer.

Sounds very much like traditional Christmas cookie spices from my part of the world.

I think it is lack of empathy which helped him gain entry.

He doesn't, and he won't. It is part of their culture war against woke. It will not end in any legislation, but it will be repeated ad nauseum in the press as if it was actually serious, and his voters will lap it up.

He doesn't though. It is all culture war posturing:

“Let’s get one thing straight,” Hawley bellowed this summer, “Corporations are not people.” The crowd, this one gathered in Washington for the social conservative Faith and Freedom Coalition summit, barely stirred. But then they erupted when the populist senator continued, “I’ve got news for these woke corporations: We are not going to surrender this nation to the cultural Marxists in the C-suite.”

That is what google uses, after all they attempt to block your adblocker. You would need an ad blocker-blocker-blocker.
