  • Pretty much ALL of Hbomb’s substantive examples from the video are from CTRL-ALT-DEL which is like … the worst example imaginable.

    Because it’s a video specifically about CAD (that’s why the video is literally titled “Ctrl + Alt + Del”) not webcomics in general. There are some references to other gaming comics and what they generally don’t do well but it’s preamble for why CAD is the worst. The whole point of this video is to be about Ctrl + Alt + Del and the guy behind it.

    And as an aside, really Harris, web comic artists as targets?

    No, it’s specifically about the CAD guy. He doesn’t talk about the other webcomic artists.

    These and other extremely sane takes from the guy that brought you an almost 2 hour long video on the goddamn Roblox “oof” sound effect.

    I’m curious what other “takes” you think he has if you didn’t even realize why the video called CAD primarily talks about CAD.





  • You’re acting like I’m not talking about QAnon or MAGA types for some reason. Why?

    I’m not saying to dismiss anyone just because you politically disagree with them. I’m saying don’t trust a Nazi when he gives his opinion on Jews.

    I’m not saying only one side lies. I’m saying there’s a political contingent that only operates on lies, and this guy is with them.

    Stop trying to reduce the situation to talk about someone else. This is a QAnon type author writing falsities based on falsely interpreted data, not Noam Chomsky waffling on if something is a crime or not.


  • Why are you trying to make far right seem better than they really are? Why are you igoring exactly the kind of person I’m referring to in order to dilute the situation and suggest “But pretend like they just have some different ideas” as if they’re not the same kinds of people calling LGBT people child predators now.

    This isn’t me advocating dismissing anyone you merely politically disagree with. This is me saying don’t trust a Nazi when he talks about Jews.

    It’s not a theory or an idea that most of their arguments are based in lies. That’s par for the course. Their entire MO is denying truth and fact, something which doesn’t exist in even the moderate right wing.

    It is a lie to suggest that anyone else lies as much and as inherently as the far right in recent years.

    The only thing disingenuous here is your “both sides” bullshit when you’re suggesting a QAnon type should be given the same amount of credence as anyone else.




  • (like what do orgs do with the money, how effective are they, are they actually aligned with certain values, who is involved in these orgs, etc)

    These are all issues of the organizations own reporting, not anything Mozilla did. Mozilla is not responsible for disclosing the operational details of places it donates to or works with.

    The laws and regulations surrounding NPOs, charities, and foundations and what they report are a whole other rabbit hole.


  • The people who tout justifications like this have clearly not paid enough attention in school to learn about things like secondary sources, misrepresenting data, or false extrapolations.

    Or they’ve somehow forgotten all about how the far right has been falsely portraying information for years now, and using a kernel of truth to say “See? Therefore everything else I’m saying is also true!” so that the gullible will believe their lies.
