I don’t care what people do but I don’t understand why corporations have to go overboard with the support. It’s like with black history month now, it used to be fine now streaming services are putting “black shows” in the forefront for that month like I can’t find that content on my own or something. Also, corporations claiming that they donate to black communities on every commercial is way too much as well. The same is done for Hispanic month and Pride month, I’m watching the Food network right now and can’t even count how many times I’ve seen them advertise Pride month with some trans show on discovery +. I support these corporations for a good product or service not for them to virtue signal about what they do for minority groups for that one month. It just comes off as insincere and feels like an insult to my intelligence.

I have to go with subs even though I don’t always like reading lol. I watched dubbed Sailor Moon back in the day and enjoyed it until I watched the subbed. They took so much out and changed conversations in the dub and also where the original would have quiet moments, the dub would put voice acting over it like we couldn’t figure out what was going on. I understand that dubbed Sailor Moon was more for younger kids where original was more for teenagers and young adults so I see why stuff was changed for the dub, but being older I appreciate seeing stuff in its true form.

I think one of the first smartphones I had was a Galaxy S1, think it was called Epic. After that I’ve been on iPhone ever since. I do miss the customizations you could do on an Android but I don’t think I could go back at this point, too used to the iPhone.

I have a question though, you said you didn’t like Apple’s business practices and I get it but isn’t Android tied with Google which we know is the king of censorship especially now? I generally know most if not all of these big corporations have some sort of corruption, but we are so reliant on their goods and services, so I just kind of chalk it up to it is what it is.

I always get excited for Pokémon games and probably always will despite how old I get. I admit I’m a storyline mode player and that’s it. I don’t do the competitive battles or try and collect all the Pokémon. I enjoy going through the storyline even though it is really easy and usually the same old thing every game.

I’ve always been pro-choice, but never been a fanatic about it. I believe it’s up to individuals especially if they are put in a situation such as rape or just made a mistake when they were too young to care for a child. I don’t necessarily agree with it being used as a form of birth control, like people having an “oops” moment way too often. I do understand the pro-life argument though but still ultimately think it’s up to the individual. Like you, I won’t be protesting and giving money to either side, lol.

Yes, I’m Christian, believe in God and that Jesus is the Lord and Savior. I usually go to church but haven’t been since to restrictions, I do still stream service. I’m really not sure if they require masks in the building, on the stream I still see people in masks but as long as that’s a thing, I’ll continue to stream lol.

I’m addicted to playing Pokémon Legends Arceus. Right before this game came out, I finished up Pokémon Brilliant Diamond’s main storyline.

I’ve never considered myself pro-vax or anti-vax, I just went with the flow. I had to get a lot of vaccines as a child because my dad was in the military. I never really thought of the positives they did or the negatives. Now with the push for this current one and claiming it’s “safe and effective” when it’s not really that, I’m starting to think the others may not be as great as presented.

I have heard stories of people with vaccine injuries and how they are gaslit to think they are crazy when they know their child was injured by vaccines. It’s exactly what the authority figures are doing with this one, pretending like adverse reactions and death from these shots doesn’t exist.

I look at it this way, before vaccines our ancestors seemed to live just fine without them. Yeah, people died from horrible illnesses but we act like people don’t die nowadays from horrible illnesses, drugs don’t save everybody. I’m sure there are plenty of people out there with no vaccines and live long healthy lives, I hate how people act like this doesn’t exist.

I know who Joe Rogan is because I watched Fear Factor back in the day but that’s my extent of knowing him until recently. I appreciate his stance on this Covid restriction nonsense and giving a voice to the experts we aren’t supposed to listen to. Can’t say I’ve listened to the podcast or followed anything else he’s done, but he seems like a decent guy. I definitely don’t agree with the left going after him so hard. Just because people don’t agree with his opinions doesn’t mean he deserves to be censored.

[eric-boehle]

I really enjoy it as well. I’ve been a big fan of the regular Pokémon games since the beginning, but I really would love for them to continue this style of game as well in the future.

I was on a Reddit sub Nonewnormal that got shut down because of censorship. The sub was about not accepting the new normal and questioning the narrative of Covid. Someone posted a video clip of one of Rippa’s segments and I’ve been hooked ever since. I admit I was a leftest, but since the Covid regime my eyes have really opened to how messed up they really are. I now consider myself an independent who is leaning more toward the libertarian views.

Oh you were talking about the ecosystem of iPhones and how they are generally more lockdown and non-customizable. I feel you on that, that’s the general downside to iPhones and I wish they were more customizable like Android but I try and find workarounds like using the shortcuts app. I still use YouTube myself, I have Odysee and Rumble but don’t find them as user friendly as YouTube.

Speaking of Odysee, whenever I type Covid on the app, Apple has disabled that search term so you would have to search that through the web version. So yeah I really understand what you were saying.

These people using these so called “emergency powers” when they feel like it has got to go. I don’t know much about anarchy but I’m open to look into it.
