What do you use?From my understanding, Brave uses the Cheomium core, so you can use some google extensions. It’s been a while since I fiddled though.

Is it as effective as Google?Search engine is not bound to your browser. By default Brave uses DuckDuckGo search engine, that is, if you start typing search term into the address bar but you can simply change the engine to Google or Bing in the browser's settings.
I mean as fast.

I care about privacy to a certain limit.
I don't want them to know my deepest darkest secrets but I guess some information required for advertising is good.
Sure there is a line but even if I had to pick I much rather have a not-money paid web service that takes my information instead of a paid web service that doesn't.
The paid web-service can have a breach given how unlikely the populace would buy it so less funding in protection. Other reason is that Google had a lot more time to fine tune there search engine for me to simply use something less effective is what I consider bad.
Hopefully that made sense.

You have already got all the medal for forums posts. There are 3.
Now you would have to vote, create, win debate and various other things. Alec has done some of that which is why he has more medals.
Basically 500 forum posts is all you need to get all the forum medals and about 300 mentions. More than that is useless for medals. In order to get more read your medals sections and see what you haven't done.

So basically when you can't actually answer my question. You come back with a useless post. How are you rational again? How can you rationally defend what you said? At least the madman part is reflective of you.
Come back to me when you have something worthwhile to add. It is boring listening to whatever it is you call your most recent post here.

No the first primary states.When we transition into the general election, THEN the national polls become a good measurement to use, but since we're still balls deep into the primary season the only polls that are really important are the ones in the first couple of states that hold primaries.
But I like the graph. Why can't your one have a graph?

When you are imprisoned under the government. Does the government now own you?I'm not sure what you mean.
I didn't say you were for human property. I asked you if you agree that prisoners are human property?
No they are not. Bondservants hold slaves. You have already agree having slaves is bad. What about bondservants?
I'm guessing you're asking if I can defend Christianity. I don't think you're asking me if I can defend Hinduism, Buddhism, Mohammadism, Scientology, etc.I honestly don't understand the question. I certainly don't feel any need to defend Christianity or the Bible. Why do you think I even need to?
Just answer my other questions. I can't help people who don't understand the question. I hope you do understand the other ones I gave.

I do use RCP, but the main poll they show on their homepage features national standings. Iowa, New Hampshire, and the first couple of primary states are the polls that are the most important since the first few primary states dramatically shift the opinion in the rest of the country once a few contests actually get decided.
Do you mean the swing states?

That isn't true for a number of reasons. A christian can think a fact that disagrees with their view of what the bi le says, means they may be misinterpreting the bible.
You are clearly missing out key information. The Bible is based on nothing verifiable. From Jesus's "resurrection" to God's existence. The most important parts of the Religion. If Christians can't even verify if Jesus resurrected or if God exists you know the fundamentals are whack.
Me personally I have not seen facts by left wing or right wing people that I thought contradicted christianity in any way. Maybe some moral beliefs but the morality you choose to live by has nothing to do with proving anything wrong with Christianity.
Christianity is morally bankrupt. A few good quotes doesn't mean the bad quotes are not there.
Not true at all and in fact silly. The bible is not a science book so there really are no scientific facts that disproves it. Not that disproving the bible disproves Jesus anyway. The Bible wasn't even around while he walked the Earth.
Clearly false. It makes claims about the observable world. I hear 2 different arguments from theists. Jesus did resurrect. Look there is an empty tomb!
Another is: Bible is not a science book therefore we don't actually need to prove anything.
Both are poor answers. The first one there is no proof that Jesus resurrected. The second one the Bible makes claims about the observable world and how it functions and you are telling me I am going to treat is as fiction? If so you are admitting it is just a book of fairy-tales for people irrational enough to believe in it. If not then where is the evidence? I ask for evidence for my claims yet you stop for the Bible. I would call it a special pleading fallacy but it can be you have a lapse of judgement on the entire subject of faith.

One doesn't. They've removed that freedom when they committed a crime. Committing crimes remove freedom.
In the current day are you the property of the state?
Is this a confession that prisoners are human property?
How did you get I am for prisons therefore I am for human property? Explain to me how those are the same.
I may not be clear on what you mean.
Can you not defend Religion because it is indefensible or some other reason?

If I gave you the choice to be a slave and work for me and be a slave but be imprisoned. What choice do you have of not being a slave? Please do answer.I'm just as confused as you are. First off, it wasn't slave labor. It was voluntary servitude along with laws meant to protect the Israelite from abuse.
Do you take issue with community service as alternative to doing time?
The state doesn't own prisoners. The prisoners can choose community service. Whatever result they choose they are not human property.
What did these Israelites do to deserve indentured servitude? If they owed a substantial amount of money, they could work it off by volunteering servitude. Or, they damaged property, or stole from an individual, they could volunteer servitude.
Missing the human property part.
I agreed that slavery, and even servitude is bad.What I meant was it's bad that people steal, damage property, owe money, commit crimes in general that causes the indentured servitude model to exist. It would be ideal to not need these servant scenarios, but I believe it's a better alternative to imprisonment. Particularly since it's obvious servants become equivalent to family members at times.
I am for prisons and community service esc things. Just don't like the human property part.
I don't know why you're answering my questions. And I don't need to defend my religion.
Why because you Religions is indefensible or am asking for a truism when trying to ask you to defend your Religion?

I started out as a Christian Democrat then became an atheist Republican and now am A Christian Republican.
Just means you don't have a good foundation to state whether something is or isn't. God has no evidence yet here you are believing in Christianity. I see that as a point against however you derive what is or isn't. If you fall victim to believing in the immaterial I can't imagine how you got to your other beliefs.
Spiritual beliefs have nothing to do with whether you are smart about your political leanings or not.
Given that most Evangelicals are Republican I would say there is a correlation with being Religious and right wing.
The thing is I actually started researching the topics and then I realized I was wrong. I chose liberalism for emotional reasons but became a conservative because I learned how to use logic.
Mine was the opposite. I started off conservatives but when I had a better way of gaining what is or isn't I became a liberal. I did call myself a progressive but I think I am only socially that.
a non political sub reddit and you yourself brought up a leftist reddit that was unfairly quarantined
Which one?
shut down because of the SHW organization that Reddit is.
Guessing SJW right?
Wrong is wrong buddy
Even if you are right leave. Nothing is stopping you from going to another subreddit. I don't agree that majority of the time Reddit does and never agree they harm my happiness on the site personally so I don't take your perspective.
When I accuse you of having no internal dialogue you call it an ad hominem but you don't deny it Which means you are admitting it is true.
Me trying to stay on topic means I agree with what you said? No it doesn't. Internal dialogue as in introspection right?
Internal dialogue should be happening almost every hour you are not asleep and be non stop. You are not human until you do this. You are not a conscious entity until you embrace this Helen Keller explains it in her book where she describes being an animal until she learned words and had an internal dialogue. I want you to work on having internal dialogue and using sub vocalization while reading.
Whatever this is, it is not helping your case. I kinda have an idea of what you are talking about but doesn't make you correct nor do I see how this would help me see conservatism being better than liberalism. I do this already like right now when I am typing the words . I didn't know what I was doing before you told me so thanks.
You admitted to accusing all republican arguments as being cherry picked.
Please quote the "all" in my comment. I would like to see it before you accusation holds anything.
This is an admittance that you have some huge biases. Accusing facts that disagree with your beliefs as being cherry picked and ones you agree with as being legitimate. You asked me to prove it, but you have already admitted it, so kind of a retarded request to ask me to prove something you admitted to.
When your foundation is Christianity is true. What is factual that doesn't improve Christianities case is meaningless to you. I however have no such restrictions. Sure I can be like whatever to facts that I don't really care about but I won't deny it. You would have to deny cause and effect when it comes to God because it shows how Christianity doesn't fall in line with science so you must deny scientific facts in order to maintain your faith.

No concrete answer. Thanks again for telling me again.There is no "beneath it all" you.
Somtimes we yawn when we see other yawning sometimes not. Empathy is complicated. Humans are complicated with woman { Xx } being more complex than man { Xy } numerically and synertically.
Was I supposed to disagree with this? Don't know about the part after empathy if you are right or not.
All things 'Are' not "just are".Universe 'Is', not just is.You { we } were Are you in the past may be Are you in the future, even if you{ we } 'Are' dead or we 'Are' dead.1) Conscious { ? } time<<< Past <<< Out <<< ( * i * ) <<< In <<< Future^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v2) Arrow-of-time is in the opposite direction>>> Past >>> Out >>> ( * i * ) >>> In >>> FutureThe past self is generally speaking a lesser self tho weight/mass can change as can what metaphyiscal-1, mind/intellect/concepts are accessible and those that are not because of brain issues.
Don't know what you said here.
The question becomes is Universe ever more or less complex over etrernity of time?
If outside ourselves then I think the universe would have no measure of simple or complex. It would just be what is like playing chess under common rules. Looking during the present time it is complex. Possibly in the future it might be simple and the past even more complex.

What I am is none of your business if you mean the 'real me' beneath it all.
If you didn't want to actually give me a concrete answer why are you even here at all?
It is impossible to ever fully 100% empathise with someone else, the reason is very simple; you're not them.
Was I supposed to disagree with this?
it's philosophy gone too far for one's own mental wellbeing. Some things just are, that's life.
That is your perspective. My perspective is that it hasn't gone far enough nor do I think it can go far enough for me to be satisfied.

It is popular because of the hive mentality people enjoy on it. Just like facebook.
Clearly false. Breadtube subreddit dislikes the neoliberal subreddit. If there was such a hive mind there wouldn't be disliking people on the same side of the left and right spectrum yet they are. Not a hive mind if they don't agree and have different levels of information.
Group think is why 6 million jews are dead, why riots happen, why science and technology is so slow to advance, but it is not a problem for you because you are not a reader and are therefore not informed on practically every subject. Typical of most reddit users.
Why is why Trump won and people still support him. What is your point?
The rules are stupid and get redditts like watchpeopledie taken off, despite the fact it was a reddit that helped remind people of their own mortality so they can live life to it's fullest. It was banned because of the logic "ew gross".
Go to a different platform like 4chan.
TheDonald was literally quarintined because the mods did not get to a threatening post in time to delete it before redditt saw it. Any subreddit could have had that happen, but it usually isn't enforced because it would require the mods be awake 24/7 and be able to remove posts before anyone else sees them. a threat posrted on Rpolitics would not have made the reddit shut down it would have just been removed and forgotten a while, even if the mods took a bit of time to get to it.
I should have called it. You are annoyed because a subreddit you like is quarantined and since TheDonald a right leaning subreddit was quarantined you are here complaining. Doubt you would be complaining otherwise.
Another show of your stupidity. You are not supposed to thumbs up or thumbs down a post based on whether you agree with it or not. You are supposed to do it based on how well thought out the response is.
Who are you again? Reddit representative or someone who is annoyed their subreddit is quarantined?
You are deeply biased any data that supports your argument you see as legitimate, any data that doesn't you label it cherry picked.
No evidence given. Irrational. Want to provide any or can you not even cherry-pick data to suit your narrative?
We should have only rational and intelligent people here.
If you are calling conservatives rational. Tell me what do most conservatives believe in again? It starts with a G and ends with a d. I'll wait.
You are not worthy of being considered human if you do not have an internal dialogue. Please fix this about yourself.
Don't address what I said. Ad hom.
I am bringing up facts, not complaining. Reddit was founded by a great guy with a good vision but he fucked up the design which causes the current problems. The company was also taken over by incompetent people who are pushing an agenda. I do use the reddits which sparingly use down votes. I use the reddits dedicated to fitness and health and am very selective about which ones I go on because some do have a culture of downvoting people they disagree with, as an attemp to control things they should not be trying to control. I stay away from political sub reddits, or even "fun" ones. I am part of a few programming reddits. I am in a reddit about foster kids and parents and I am in a few that teach about discipline. I would join some on personal finance but those have the same type of downvote culture. I use subreddit because being a part of certain communities helps me to become a better person. I avoid the subreddits that do not avoid the toxity of reddit culture (which is nearly all of them). I would personally like to see reddit get better and think it is capable of doing so, if it removes the down vote. I think another step is people being more responsible picking mods as well. Most of them are immature and will honestly ban you for disagreeing with them or other stupid shit. They are like mini hitlers.
1 person doesn't like how something is done. Can't actually move the site into the direction he likes. He complains here. Who would have thought.

You missed the point. My point is there is no consensus on what is hate speech, or even if hate speech exists.
No consensus in Christianity given there are so many sects. Have you got better criticism?
It depends on whether or not the user who said it is joking.
So you expect a moderator to understand a person is joking without them saying it? You know there is of course a better way of doing things like state it is satirical and make sure it goes in the lines of what is acceptable. That is it. Wylted did neither.
This is a red herring.
Demonstrate to me how me saying "Who is to state there is a God or isn't?" is a red herring?
And this is an ad hominem.
Ad hominem: typically refers to a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.
Yes I did but earlier I already gave you a response.
Shouting "fire" in a crowded theater puts public safety at risk. Calling someone a "nigger" does not. Your comparison is invalid.
Shouting fire causes harm to people. Call someone the n-word also causes harm. Do you disagree?
Should we ban the use of the word "fucker" to describe another person too?
If it carried the same impact as the n-word then yes but it doesn't.
No. Where did you get that from? In fact, the legal system protects a person's right their own beliefs.
Just in America and in most cases. Across the world it is not the case. You also neglected to mention the other things the government is responsible for like protecting and managing the well being of their citizens. There is no point having freedom of speech when you are too busy being violently or verbally oppressed is there?
That assumes they are a criminal in the first place.
That statement was made after the fact.
Just because someone believes black people are inferior doesn't mean that they're going to start lynching black people. A person could believe something absolutely horrible but still seek legal means to acheive their goals.
So we should give white nationalists a platform because they might not want to kill black people just you know get gullible people to join their group and make them act like the soldier carrying out their bidding?

Depends on what you mean. The argument against biblical slavery is owning another human being. So if that's the case, what about the (American) military and prisons?
I agree with American positions because for one reason they are based on things tangible whereas the Bible is based on the intangible. Are you actually going to defend your specific Christianity or are you going to carry on engaging with whataboutism?
What about the 7 year voluntary servitude scenario laid out for an Israelite? They were given a choice between serving (and being owned) for 7 years to pay off damages or an act of theft, or go to prison (where they will also be owned).
You are telling me that is a good deal. Become slave labor or being a prison slaved? You just admitted having slaves is wrong so what is going on here?
Do you agree the people who engaged with 7 year slave labor or imprisoning people while owing them did a wrong thing? Do also tell me what they did wrong.
People seem to have different levels of what is acceptable ownership of another human, and even different levels of what is acceptable in terms of biblical servitude. Some seem to be okay with the 7 year scenario, but not with the purchasing of a foreign slave. Or, they just want to focus on foreign slaves because they just think focusing on that make for a stronger case.
In your very first response you said yes slavery is wrong yet here you are discussing how we shouldn't tolerate foreign slaves but 7 year seems to be okay. Do you agree with it and why?
Where do you yourself draw the line on what is acceptable ownership of a human, from modern contemporary institutions I referred to, to biblical references to slavery/servitude?
Why am I answering your questions? Can you actually defend your Religion?

The fact you think reddit is good shows you have a 2 digit IQ.
The fact that you don't understand why it is so popular goes to show what little you know.
A board that encourages group think by being populated mostly by leftists who upvote stuff they agree with and down vote stuff they disagree with.
Not a problem with me.
If you meant far leftists you are completely wrong. ChapoTrapHouse a tankie subreddit was quarantined.
Now if you mean center lefty politics then I am so happy it is the case. Why not right wingers simply make their own forums? Oh wait they have with 4chan and 8chan.
It is seriously retarded and to show the difference in mindset, if you had a conservative version of reddit my guess is that people would upvote stuff they found were best thought out and down vote stuff they thought were just drive by posts.
Unpopularopinions which I argue is a right wing subreddit hasn't been shutdown. I couldn't care less if it was or wasn't shutdown. I most care about my own subreddits that I follow which do a great job at not breaking the rules. Maybe the subreddits you like should try to abide by the rules.
No matter how well thought out and argue it will be downvoted because these people are idiots who just upvote stuff they agree with and downvote stuff they disagree with.
Because it is a conservative opinion. I only see the right winning when they cherrypick data or you know using right wing think tanks to get their message across. Am I supposed to agree with people who are wrong again? I don't think you take that position which is why if people are giving constructive criticism I think is justified. Upvotes and downvotes are given to every user. If you don't like it change subreddit and hope someone else can tolerate your opinions. Don't expect an entire subreddit to change their ways to suit conservatives or conservatives that get downvoted.
If you took the downvote button away maybe the site could be improved but it is at this moment just group think and the fact they remove entire boards because of some random SJW shit is also stupid.
A subreddit about neo-liberals are people who support neoliberalism? Who would thought?
Just to make it clear. If a subreddit is made for a specific purpose. Don't expect it to change to suit your needs. It was designed for something like being a prominent figures fan reddit. I don't expect people to talk about economics nor do I expect a left wing subreddit to tolerate right wing opinions.
If you don't like it so much why don't you leave? If you are not on there why are you complaining to me?

If you are consistent in your like for black when you are knowing more information. You are not being consistent for your like for black because you just increased your knowledge or whenever you did it. Now you can change this statement to every so often I have consistently improved my knowledge on black.
