Absolutely do not use Brave. Just use Firefox mobile as well, it has ublock origin, sponsorblock, and background play.

Huffman is using the same strategy as his idols; just blatantly lie. It's far harder to refute lies than it is to lie.

Why the fuck is she not out on bond right now, or in a cell?

Two reasons, (R) and ($).

Much the same way people on the left have been adopting the Republican definition of socialism, as in any time the government does anything. Like having basic welfare or some such suddenly equals socialism.

Now people have been overusing neoliberal so much that the ill informed have started using it for people that are clearly pro government spending, pro social safety net, pro regulation, etc. Discussion becomes unhelpful when people redefine the means by with we identify ideologies.

For obvious propaganda pieces like this, that's how "Verified Audience" reviews will always be. In order to be counted you need to have purchased a ticket through one of RT's partners, so it's self-selecting. No sane person is going to buy a ticket to this bribe masquerading as a documentary, so it's only insane Republicans being counted towards that score.

You can select "All Audience" if you want to see everyone. It's at 29%, even after Republicans' review boosting campaign.

Empress has a long history of narcissism and delusions of grandeur. I hate to link back to reddit, but there's a good but outdated writeup on hobbydrama. She's only gotten worse since and is now going hard on bigotry. She's trying to form her own little cult too.

I actually make perfect sense given recent changes RT made. In order to leave an audience review and be counted towards the score, you need to be a verified viewer. Like, someone who has paid for a ticket through an RT partner like Fandango. The reason for this recent change was to prevent review bombing, like what happens on every movie conservatives hate. It obviously has some major drawbacks, like we can see for this movie's verified audience ratings, as only bootlickers would ever watch this garbage fire propaganda. So we only see their ratings here.

However, we can still see the all-audience ratings by clicking on the score and selecting that option. It's currently sitting at 29%, and that's even after a Republican campaign to boost the score.

So, we have critic scores at 10% (as of this very moment), which makes sense because the movie is trash and only the Republican culture warriors are giving it a thumbs up. Then only ticket purchasing viewers have their score taken into consideration for the "Verified Audience" score, so you only get bootlickers and of course they're all giving it a perfect score.

Not specifically, but wealthy people in general evade the law too often only because of their wealth.

Did you guys sell to the US Midwest? My parents tried a satellite service and it went quickly from the best option available to them absolute trash. They switched back to their <1 mbps local ISP after a few months.

My dude, critics just value different things than everyday audiences. When you watch movies for a living you become jaded and value uniqueness more than anything. General audiences care a whole lot less about uniqueness and just want something entertaining. That's why you get off the wall stuff with high critic ratings but low audience ratings, or fairly generic but entertaining stuff with low critic ratings but high audience ratings.

Just know how to read the scores and RT is still the most useful around. Critic score are uniqueness, cinematography, and potentially storytelling. Critics also like drama much more than the average person. Audience scores are for entertainment value. But you also need to take the scores in context of genres you like. If you love scifi and a movie has a 50% audience score, you'll probably enjoy it plenty. If you hate scifi it's probably not for you at all.

I just don't think this is productive and is slightly hypocritical. Every Superbowl halftime show is lip synced, the artist doesn't get a choice, it's mandated by the NFL. I can't really criticize this shit for it.

I can absolutely criticize these fascists and pedo defenders for everything else though.

In all honestly, I thought RiF was kinda meh compared to the other major 3rd party reddit apps. Still orders of magnitude better than the official app, but the general readability, UI, and smoothness of apps like Sync, Relay, Boost, and Infinite, were better than RiF. I personally used Relay because of the absurd amount of customization.

Thunder feels pretty close. Turn on compact mode + thumbnails on the right and it's visually almost identical to how I had Relay set up. It even has the short swipe to upvote, long swipe to downvote actions.

I don't know where people grew up that actually had cliques like that. It was just t-shirts and shorts or jeans while I was in school. There was no real trend chasing or trying to look gangster. Southern California here.

Relay still works too. The dev is also in talks with reddit about paid API access, but hasn't had it shut off.
