Ja, sie sehen hier nur einen weiteren verzweifelten Versuch, ein in der Zeit stehengebliebenes Bildungssystem mit aller Gewalt zu verteidigen.

My problem here is way more that Musk accepts roughly 80% of censorship requests out of totalitarian countries like Turkey, so his claim to be a "free speech absolutist" of some sort is just objectively false; and while government censorship should always be questioned, this is clearly hypocrisy and not actually meant to promote free speech.

This is not real, right? RIGHT?

I’m actually not too sure about that. I am currently using an older iPhone (and I really dislike Apple, it’s just that the stupid device just does not stop working) and from an environmental perspective, throwing that away would surely be worse than continuing to use it, right?

Yeah I get all of that, but for a person living in Germany, the original comment is just plainly false and potentially harmful, so it should rather have been "plastic recycling is a scam in most of the world", which makes regional differences clear and does not appear like there was something inherently non-functional with recycling plastic.

I understand the downvotes as the comment seems kind of inappropriate, but - as others pointed out - pederasty was really wide spread in Ancient Greece and people thought of boys not in puberty as "good-looking" in a romantic/sexual way, as fucking creepy and weird as we think that is today, so the comment is not entirely wrong: this is the same beauty standard that thought of boys as sexually attractive.

Don’t know how serious this was meant, but I just wanted to inform you that especially the Ancient Greek had another beauty standard thinking men with small penises were superior to larger ones as they thought of people with big ones as barbaric, dull and impulsive.

Wasn’t that an implosion and therefore instantaneous?

Did you, like, read the blog post? 70% of website use Google Fonts, 3 million apps and websites rely on serving Google Ads for their income, websites using Google'd reCAPTCHA to secure their login would suddenly stop working - and then there is Chrome and Chromium, YouTube, Gmail, Android, …

Whether you like it or not, Google has spent huge amounts and efforts to entangle itself way more deeply with the web than a simple search engine

Billy should really not support them, Ad Block Plus let’s advertisers pay for having their ads checked as "acceptable advertisements", i.e. is selling out the core functionality of their product. Billy should use uBlock origin, which afaik does not accept donations, he could however support something like PiHole .
