Just like Lucifer.

More like Important Imperials…

This is actually inspiring. Not sure most poeple could afford installations like in the second video though. And the guy in the first video did have a point; it would be hard to share this lifestyle with someone else, or even just to invite friends at home up to a certain point.

The actual message and author aside, did anyone else notice how the text got shorter over time?
From 3 to 1 line over 10 years.
Literally Fahrenheit 451

Because Canada has the trashied oil production of the world. It’s all oil sands.
It’s better for the environment to import petrol from the US rather than produce it “locally”.

I certainly hope so. I stopped caring about them years ago for other reasons. I simply saw that story over the news when it happened. But I could argue that it still took them the departure of their social media manager to realize what they were doing. If she just left without talking about her experience, who knows how they would be today.

Last year, the social media manager left and accused LTT of being a toxic workplace with sexual harassment. They also started to favor quantity of content over quality.

Isn’t ID “identification document”?

Every. Ducking. Time.

From a french perspective, it’s english once again taking fancy words and pronouncing them like shit :p

When we talk about cybersecurity or theft in general, it’s always your fault if you leave the door unlocked.

How about degrowth?

At this point you’re not contributing to any civilization. You’re a parasite.

And then there is me. I’m all of the above.

Besides what Civ says, a lot of stadiums are built for a one time special event, like the olympics or some world cup.
I’m thinking about the olympic stadium of Montreal (which I think the post was about). It was built for the olympics of 76 and cost around a billion dollars at the time.
Since we don’t have a baseball team anymore, it is used only once in a while for music shows, but the acoustic is horrible because it wasn’t built for it. In my lifetime, I honestly never went inside for an event.
And now, the government is talking about a plan to repair it for an other billion. At this point, the only reason to keep it is because it’s so old and unique. Plus, it would just costs too much to demolish it.
It does bring a bunch of tourists annually, but for local people, it’s either seen as a weird relic of the past or a big scam.
Also, why can’t I just be a peaceful barbarian? Why would my population need amenities anyway? And who told them what is a stadium?

Not only they aren’t cheap, but they are pretty much never profitable. If we are to build things that are not profitable, we could as well build something that will offer a service to the population, like public transportation.

They wouldn’t be among the biggest and richest corporations in the world if that was the case.

I might be too american, but I’m more concerned about leaving a bike outside unlocked without a fear to have it stolen. How does that work?

I opted out and I still see ads. That’s the problem.

If you use Brave News (to display a RSS feed), you get “news” about Brave’s functionnalities. They appear as any other widget in your feed, but are marked as “Advertisement” on the upper right corner. Here is an example from my feed : https://imgur.com/a/RJV2Px2 .

Looks like it’s not the case anymore, but when I opened a new tab, some time ago, I used to get ads from Binance or other cryptocurrencies exchanges displayed as “cards” on the right of the window. Right now, I only get “cards” showing about “Brave Talks” or rewards, but it used to be advertisement about other products, such as Binance or other cryptocurrency company.

I can’t reproduce it right now, but some “new tab” backgrounds are (or were) also advertisement for crypto-related products.

There was also a controversy some time ago where they were injecting their own referral link when you typed a cryptocurrency exchange’s URL on the search bar : https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/06/07/brave-browser-caught-adding-its-own-referral-codes-to-some-cryptcurrency-trading-sites/ . They stopped after it got viral.

At least they are tagging their ads as such, but it’s weird how you can’t block any of it when they decide it’s there.
