    Am American. Can confirm that we are hyper reactionary. I read the tweet and shrugged it off, and rolled my eyes at the people claiming that Proton was now “dead” to them for bending the knee to Trump and were seeking out alternatives.

    All of our American healthcare horror stories are true. Never take medical systems advice from us; our system is so evil and broken that our only possible recourse is “deposing” CEOs.













  • On facebook and Twitter and others, we cannot say whatever we want. Truth is suppressed while disinformation is allowed. Saying LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill is allowed but mentioning even the word “cisgender” is suppressed. LGBTQ+ content will get removed for being “sexual content” but straight content that’s equivalent will be allowed. LGBTQ+ people face repeated harrassment on these platforms, sometimes to the level of terrorism; if they don’t feel safe posting about LGBTQ+ topics, they cannot say whatever they want. Hell, they get doxed but there’s rarely repercussions for the doxers.

    Imagine if I spread lies about you, call you a pedophile, doxx you and then someone SWATs you; would you still feel like you can say anything?

    Equality and fairness does not exist on these social platforms.


  • They do use Android, yes. I think they are least bad because I can still buy a Sony TV, never connect it to the internet, and still have a TV that works and has a good quality picture.

    There are other TV brands - one commenter mentioned Hisense - that will refuse to work until connected to the internet. Other, cheaper brands like TCL, Vizio, and Onn usually have pretty bad-looking screens comparatively. Samsung and LG usually have fine-looking screens but are also more aggressive about pushing ads on your TV than Sony is.

    I despise Sony as a company and I have no brand loyalty, but in my experience they seem to offer the least bad TV overall at the moment. If anyone’s experience is different, I would appreciate them sharing it here.
