Matt and Trey are not the liberal heroes some people seem to believe they are.

I know Americans only see the world in binaries but there is a lot more to politics than "liberal vs conservative". The views of the creators clearly sit outside of that dichotomy, and they reference and mock their own political disengagement in this episode.

Maybe this isn't what you meant, but Irréversible (2002) was quite controversial when it released and contains an extended rape scene which is very difficult to watch.

Quite incredible that BORA have gone from a 2+ minute lead in third and the White Jersey to ~22 seconds in a single stage. Even more incredible that they managed this when the guy in fourth, Onley, was dropped early on. Whoever let Lipowitz ride by himself for so long today should be fired, absolutely insane tactics that may cost him a podium if he suffers from this effort tomorrow.

I missed the bit where Jorgenson attacked but I wonder if Visma tried to bluff a bit. By isolating Pogacar early, they made it risky for him to follow any moves from Visma riders, which allowed Jorgenson to get a big lead and go for the stage win unopposed by UAE. Unfortunately it seems like Jorgenson has blown up completely so now Visma are on the front again trying to close the gap to the leaders once more (and chase Lipowitz).

Of course it will have an effect. My point was that they have straight up admitted it won't affect the "porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists" they are trying to claim this is a win over, because this group will just access the games elsewhere.

In general I agree, but my understanding is that the pirate streams of live sporting events were cracked down on quite hard. There was definitely a dip at one point where the high quality SopCast and Ace Stream broadcasts that had become very popular for competitions like the Premier League (e.g. Bloodzeed) disappeared quite suddenly and weren't replaced with anything comparable.

Maybe, Pogacar does seem to be racing a bit "smarter" this year. Like not going crazy on every stage like a one-day racer and instead riding a bit more conservatively like you'd normally see from someone leading the GC.

I responded to it

Unfortunately you don't seem to understand the meaning of the words "compared to". If, as you admit:

Slow security updates are a problem, plaguing basically all of Android.

Then it is impossible for there to be something wrong with Fairphone security compared to the majority of competitors.

The Australian commentators wondered whether UAE made a tactical mistake at the beginning of the stage trying to close down too many small groups (in particular the move with Plapp and another rider which was bridging and had a decent gap but was pulled back). In the end, they were forced to let a massive group of 30+ riders go up the road, with multiple riders from the same teams who could work for their leaders in the group to get a big gap. Even with all the cat and mouse games in the lead group and Vingegaard and Pogacar racing each other up the climb, the breakaway still won.

"All these porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists so desperate to get their hands on rape-my-little-sister incest games they’re now exchanging clues on how to find them so that they don’t all die overnight," Collective Shout co-founder Melinda Tankard Reist tweeted on July 18th.

...so you admit your strategy was completely ineffectual?

I mean the point was: “there is nothing actually wrong with Fairphone devices from a security perspective compared to the majority of its competitors

You really struggle with reading, don't you?

Who is doing strawmen now? 🤡 How in the world did you get to that idea from “together they could create a fantastic device”.

"The increased userbase gives Graphene more leverage and in a just world big companies and countries would maybe rethink their approach to data collection."

Agreed (see edit above).
