I was ready to read the paper—"oh this could be useful"—until I realized I got got.
Cesspool, not circus. Don't slight the extraordinarily skilled circus artists.

He literally supports terrorism on stream - no wonder he got in trouble
Defamatory accusations like this literally need a video source.

I believe Gates and Buffet are sincere.
One cannot be sincere / ethical and be a billionaire simultaneously. If Gates were sincere Microsoft wouldn't be the monopoly it is now.
Bollocks. If these rich assholes felt guilty and inclined towards altruism they'd have spent it already instead of "pledging".
"[…] Furthermore, their supposed philanthropy isn't just them giving money away no-questions-asked. More often than not they aim to benefit their coffers and/or virtue signal their “conscience”:
“They are moving away from unfettered, no-strings-attached giving and toward increased donor control over organizations, and are blurring the lines between private investment and public benefit.” —Gilded Giving 2020, by Chuck Collins and Helen Flannery [17].
“Your "Giving Pledge" has a loophole that renders it practically worthless, namely permitting pledgees to simply name charities in their wills. I have found that most billionaires or near billionaires hate giving large sums of money away while alive and instead set up family-controlled foundations to do it for them after death. And these foundations become, more often than not, bureaucracy-ridden sluggards. These rich are delighted to toss off a few million a year in order to remain socially acceptable. But that's it.” —Robert Wilson to Bill Gates, 2010 [18] […]" —What if I paid for all my free software? | arscyni.cc
They should've picked LibreWolf which ships with uBlock Origin. Brave is a disappointing choice because it supports multi-level marketing pyramid schemes which says enough about their moral compass.

Everyone has heard the hypothetical "if I could timetravel I'd kill Hitler", right? Well, now's the opportunity to depose of multiple aspiring Hitlers. Luigi Mangione laid the groundworks. They might not be building concentration camps, yet, but their greed is causing suffering of and/or killing just as many if not more.

What is love?
(beehaw.org)
No seriously, what does love mean to you? The love of your child, the love of your partner(s), monogamy, polyamory, (non) consensual non-monogamy, infatuation, limerence, heartbreak. The love of one's hobby, the love for an object, the love of an idea, et cetera. Whatever it is that comes to mind goes.

Wouldn't be surprised if a chubby man with a beard made this.

Goddamn I love that this isn't written on Reddit.

Tips to keep feet warm?
(beehaw.org)
The simple trick to keeping one's upper body warm is adding layers. However, wearing multiple socks does not work for the feet. At least not for me. Any advice? Preferably non-electric solutions.

Finally going after vermin instead of schoolchildren. Good. Slow progress is still progress. Hopefully, consequently, toppling the toxic system that produces these vermin in the first place.
