  • I installed Brave earlier this week and that’s mostly true. There’s some built in stuff that will show by default, notably the toolbar buttons and the notification style alert on the new tab page for one of those things mentioned, but you can just close the notification and remove the toolbar buttons and you’re set.

    That said, I think it’s still in the data monetization market like Alphabet with anonymized tokens, though I don’t remember the details.






  • Some religions, for example Mormonism, picked up a taboo of coffee and tea alongside other abolitionist sentiments popular at the time, with similar reasoning to alcohol - caffeine is a psychoactive drug, so it’s not “pure.” Mormonism was founded when early puritanical and evangelical Christian movements grew rapidly in the US, and you’ll see a similar taboo among other Christian sects originating in this time period.

    Yoga probably has the same taboo in American Christianity as Dungeons and Dragons once did during the satanic scare era, and that taboo is likely only due to the link to spiritualist practices in yoga. To the brainwashed evangelical, since it’s not Christianity, it’s Satan.

    Edit: a few words added for clarity

    I have to tell you, there’s plenty of farmed land on the entire west coast this map does not depict. Less than half of the areas labeled timberlands are forested, as a generous estimate.

    Edit: as the comments under this state, I just didn’t understand what was being represented and how.
