Firefox reader mode just grabs the text and images and let's me read the whole article on most of these sites.

My Dad's bills are like $200 a month for everything, he eats fresh fruit and vegetables everyday, he bought a small truck or cheap, he gets to explore jungles and beaches and experience life out side the US.

It's not just young Asian women that people go there for. The cost of living is so low and you aren't bombarded by american bullshit all the time

Is this because she's a woman or because she's a billionaire? I feel like we make fun of plenty of men too

I find the internet is super good at locking people into echo chambers. For some reason, I feel especially keen on this when I was super into reddit over the last decade. I could FEEL just how a community would shift into just saying the same 10 things on repeat and any deviation would result in downvotes and messages in my inbox.

But it's not just reddit. Modern video feed algorithms and other social media just need to feed you the same stuff you've engaged with previously.

So what ends up happening is young boys only see the videos of angry purple haired stereotype liberal feminist first year college student get SLAMMED/DESTROYED by Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson or a woman who is clearly saying something sarcastic with sad sigma male music in the background and all the comments are calling for her to be put in prison or death.

And that's not to say people don't experience these types IRL and it morphs their opinions, my sister is this stereotype and is pretty fucking stupid and she will get into heated debates on Facebook about stuff she has no idea about. She'll read a headline and form a whole mindset of bullshit around it and never verify if it was just a click bait article posted to Facebook to get ad revenue with no concept of journalist integrity. It's really difficult talking to her about anything political because even though I'm pretty liberal/progressive myself, she'll just say things that are factually wrong and when I try to talk to her about it she takes it as me disagreeing and won't listen to reason or logic outside of her preconceived image of reality. Very difficult person

I often have to look at her and remind myself that people like her are a very small portion of the population and aren't really indicative of the masses.

They rebuilt the mobile browser, if I'm not mistaken. It's why the extensions stopped for a long time.

When one area cools, the air their contracts, when another area warms, it expands

When it contacts, it pulls, when it warms, it pushes.

And yet, I can still google torrent sites

I keep trying to give Rogan some slack, I've been listening to his podcast on and off for a decade now and it just gets harder and harder to excuse him. I genuinely understand someone having a distrust for 'the narrative' . What I don't understand is how someone could do both that and then immediately trust the very next narrative that comes along. It seems naive and laughable.

Keep talking about chimps and DMT, Joe for fucks sake

You need a lot of capital to start a business, which is usually held by people who don't have an incentive to start a business for others benefit.

Also, entrepreneurs are usually individualistic (not talking shit, that's just the nature of it).
