    we are hormonaly driven creatures. you can deny it but your controlled by the endorphins coursing through your blood. that is not to say the mind is powerless, its just very few have an internal dialogue that allows recognition and control of the adrenaline, dopamine, estrogen, testosterone, ect. that drives us all. anyone like/dislike my post?
    ooooo dopamine. i often see folks triggered and unhinged by simple irrelevant events and ask myself, what do they tell themselves to make that ok? the answer of course is nothing. they have no internal discussion about anything. ayn rand wrote brilliantly about collectivist beast/hive mind thinking. completely reactive. t.d.s is real. sadly a huge part of the country genuinely cant understand why deporting convicted criminal illegal aliens,with deportation orders is a good thing. like a 5yo the concept is unfathomable.
    dopamine programed people are easy to manipulate.

    This generation of dopamine addicted people, mainly women, became this way because of social media. Seriously, just watch some of these AWFUL modern women’s 30 second Tik-Toks, Instagrams, Facebook postings, and the granddaddy Only Fans. The clicks, likes, followers and number of views is what fuels these dopamine fixes. Social media has but destroyed the dating scene with individual’s in there senior years now falling for this scourge called social media.

    I completely understand your beliefs in not watching some of those videos,,, but ,, watching them also can keep you informed on the stupidity that lurks amongst us .
    I do not subscribe to any of these video folks ,,, and am only a member of 2 sites on the internet ,, and this is one of them .

    Dude, this is exactly the type of thing I would usually post about, so I'm right there with you. Something I often think about on this subject is how many people are addicted to impulse purchasing online, getting that dopamine going, waiting in anticipation for their daily package to arrive. For the depressed (which is quite a lot of people these days), they always have something to look forward to. And more people today are in debt than ever before. When it comes to everything social media related, that's an even greater sickness and it is also fueled by dopamine addictive aspects. So many people simply can't put their phones away for hours at a time and constantly need validation and interaction. Humanity appears to be headed toward a very frightening and stark place because even random conversations are awkward and rather unseemly any more. It's as if people prefer to text rather than speak to each other.

    As much as some of you here dislikes YouTube, it has a wealth of information that you really can’t find anywhere else. On channel that I download the videos for is a channel called Everthing Black Powder. This channel was created because of the great powder shortage of the Covid era. They have a wealth of info on making black powder and various charred woods and other media, including various brands of tp to make a black powder that equal’s Swiss in velocity and cleanliness. Please, don’t close your eyes mind completely to social media, you have to know how our enemy thinks and acts.

    ", it has a wealth of information that you really can’t find anywhere else."

    simply not true. i was posting links folks put up of youtube,face,ect. stories with oddesy, rumble, bitchute stories.
    same content. it is easier to use the large platforms. i have ,,,,alot of black powder, simtex, all manner of how to make them. you see alot of simtex recipies on youtube? drone munitions? dozens of complete drone designs with bom. complete 3dp gun builds? 37mm launchers? i wont belittle my monkeys for the same dopamine fix i get,,, but i assure you i am not the one closing my eyes to the reality of social media. google is not your friend.
    id simply like simians to try and use the other options. add them to your search's,,,,,then you can see both sides.
    the easy path leads ever downward to stagnation.

    Dude, you aren't the first one to find BitChute or other platforms, they've been around for many years now. We know. I think it's obvious that Google is spyware trash, but most people still use it -THIS makes platforms like YouTube so valuable. As far as everything stealth related and whatever you're worried about, you can always use a VPN or even go a step further like some of us have an use your own firewall like a Netgate with PFSense and route through an independent DNS server like Quad-9 and become oblivious to your ISP and anybody else snooping. But I digress.

    There's not nearly as much on the other platforms. It's not even close. YouTube is still a valuable resource. You can hold your own opinions, I won't fault you for it. Now, if we want to discuss how YouTube is being overrun with AI bots and Chinese spam farms, sure that's a thing...for now. Eventually, they will all be wiped as people realize the trash being posted regularly, depleting the value of the platform. YouTube will continue to go through these phases. One thing the other platforms will never hold is the massive volume of users, which really is the attraction, both for financial reasons as well as information. And I get it, you don't like YT. We're right there with you, Bud.

    We spammed opensource platforms for years, trying to get everybody linked in using them. Guess what? It didn't take.

    ,,,,, google bad. youtube bad. facebook bad. stop using evil platforms that hate you and are responsible for destroying/undermining our country. there are other options. decentralized data.you can choose to support them or freedom. seems its just to much trouble for most.

    'We know. I think it's obvious that Google is spyware trash, but most people still use it -'

    as long as folks refuse to even try other sources they will remain in power and a monopoly on information. false information meant to support marxist 5th column takeover of the world. they simply buy any competition to maintain power,,but most know that and do it anyway.

    'One thing the other platforms will never hold is the massive volume of users,'

    and as long as you treat them as irreplaceable that will not change. i dont believe they cant be replaced.i agree most simply cant control their dopamine addiction or just dont want to.
    may your chains sit lightly upon you.

    Fucking hell. I'm saying you can't make stupid people intelligent, dude. You can't fix the world, it's gone mad. We are all probably going to die miserably and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Just accept the fact that stupidity cannot be fixed, it will drive you nuts otherwise.

    And SB21 was referring to the computer information I was talking about, not "Google bad", which any simpleton can understand.

    There is no such thing as anonymity on the net, no matter what OS, browser, search engine, or VPN you use. If you are that damned paranoid, then simply stay off the internet, go to your local library and try to find the knowledge there.
    I also use Rumble, Odyssey, and Bitchute for good educational video content, but alas, YouTube is still the king. I use 4k video downloader to save those educational videos put out by content creators like Everything Black Powder. These guys have been trying everything possible to make a home brewed black powder that is comparable to Swiss in velocity and cleanliness that does not cost $60 per pound plus hazmat fees. For them to find the best forms of wood or other carbon sources for charcoal has been a four year undertaking since Covid.
    As for Google, YouTube, Facebook, or other trash type sites being evil, we’ll hate to break it to ya’, but the whole damned internet is evil.
