Your title is misleading & false. The article is technically correct, but clunky.

Consider the title, Steam’s Content Removal Could Be A Wider Consequence Of Project 2025. The article misspells Russell’s name frequently. “Part of Vought and Project 2025’s plans are to remove Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA)”. So the Steam content removal…is a consequence. Who is dishing out the consequences?

Louis Rossmann will tell you, it’s Collective Shout. Collective Shout has no relation to Russell Vought…or even America. It’s a ragtag group of 1067 Australian fuckheads that complained to Mastercard, Visa who then put pressure on Steam. And yes. This was enabled thanks to Russell Vought & removal of Section 230 of the CDA.

Russell Vought isn’t a good guy by any means, but this specifically was done by Collective Shout’s 1067 Aussies bitching to American credit card companies & American businesses, threatening them & trying to dictate what they can sell to Americans. It’s…truly infuriating. I don’t go to their mom’s place of work & smack the dick out of her mouth, I don’t write them emails & tell them how to run Australia. So kindly return the favor, don’t fuck with the US. Like what the hell.

The American flag is very politically charged atm. Honestly. By & large the left hates the American flag, see below “I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing a B&W American flag”. They hate the flag displayed, and they hate the people who wear it.

This isn’t a new or fringe sentiment; see it in this 4 year old YT video.

The left has surrendered their claim to the American flag. A couple years ago there were some TikTok videos saying “if there was an American flag at their house they some racist ass white motherfuckers”.

Here’s a woman appearing to bemoan that fact, saying that we’re all Americans & all should fly the flag.

I was caught off guard when I initially saw it, but a Google search showed it for what it was.

If you feel compelled to hide the fact that you made something because you feel other people will look on in judgment, not buy your product…would this not compel the normal person to look inward & ask, “Are we the baddies?” 🤔

This has been going on basically forever. It’s false pandering. It’s technically true, a bunch of weak-wristed men sat in an office in Portland, Oregon and they “designed” this product. Then once they were done “designing” it, they sent the schematics off to China for production & ripping off of IP.

That’s the best case scenario. If it’s as Chinese-y as you say, maybe they modified one feature of a Chinese radio, slapped a couple Bible verses on the box…voilà, it was “designed in USA”. 😆

It is out of place, but it’s designed to pique human curiosity & get people to unwittingly Google Bible verses. Effortlessly spreading the gospel as they’re told to, fulfilling the Great Commission.

They wish Trump was successfully murdered.

Ooooooh yeeeeeeah

I mean I’ve just had a different experience than you, all of you. I have never had a Sony Xperia, but I’ve only heard good things.

I have been concerned about going off of main line Samsung. I did it once for the OnePlus One, which was solidly alright at the time, but then I went right back to mainline. S8 Active, SGS 20 5G FE, then that was failing & I went to Motorola but that was buggy as shit & I went back to my 20 FE until I got the Oukitel Titan.

Generally speaking, I don’t like buying a more niche product with limited support. And maybe the apps don’t work well. All of the mid, cheaper phones have bad batteries that don’t last very long, in no small part because I watch lots of videos & things that eat the battery.

The Oukitel Titan is impressive, a little obnoxiously big & slightly buggy, but not having to plug it in every blessed night makes up for any gripes I’ve got. It will make for a great Android to do Android stuff when I buy the iPhone 17.

I admittedly have no personal experience with Pixel; I have observed that people who get Pixels either love them or they’re total shit & they hate them. No inbetweens, love or hate. My BIL got a shit one, but I see lots of happy Pixel owners.

I currently have an Oukitel Titan. It’s a little quirky sometimes but it’s also a beast of a phone, which makes up for any mishaps.

To any & all Android users: you should install Grayjay. But don’t do it from the Play Store because that’s the stupid nerfed version.

The latest cool things they have done: they’ve stopped being whiny little bitches & made their iPhones USB-C, with pressure from the EU. They’ve finally adopted Google’s RCS messaging protocol, which should allow Apples & Androids to play nicely together in texting.

Both of these things were massively overdue; they were being arrogant & childish for years…

Last but certainly not least: iPhones 15 & up (I think) have FREE “satellite messaging”. If you’re out in bufu & you’ve got no signal, simply put your iPhone out with a clear view of the sky…and your text messages will be relayed, received via satellite. This is a safety feature, not everyone knows it’s a thing, and personally I think it’s very, very cool.

T-Mobile should also team up with Starlink so all T-Mo customers should get free satellite text messaging. Should. But modern iPhones have free emergency text messaging here & now; that’s worth more than any “Trust me, bro, it’s totally coming”.

I’m going from Android to Apple soon, because I’m finally totally over all the present day Android BS. Good luck, have fun.

Word to the wise: don’t buy anything less than a flagship. Older flagship if you’re wanting to save some money. Samsung is best. I’ve played around with all kinds of mid-tier Androids & it’s a frustrating experience. The phones just don’t work well for long. Motorola sucks ass, don’t even bother.

Nah but it’s total shit, IIRC it’s mid-tier specs not even flagship. Idk why you’d want to put your name on a mid-tier phone… 🙄

Man, that would be a shitshow. 😆

Trust me on this one: nobody likes Marjorie Taylor Greene. Republicans would love it if she left.

LOL… “Aflicks”. He actually typed that out, and was like YEP aflicks is totally a word, send it! Idiot.

I’ll be honest, idk what Palantir is, it’s my one blind spot. What do you have against Palantir, is it a Nestlé or something?

Ooooo. Kamala as CEO of Nestlé would be amazing. Two birds!

No, those things matter, I want all of those things to actually succeed & do well. CEO of…McDonald’s, RC Cola, or Craftsman tool group company. They’re not worth a shit since they sold out to China.

Republicans hate Newsom, and I watched as Newsom recently refused to condemn transing the kids. One of the biggest, easiest softball questions in the Republican world. I can all but personally guarantee you he’s not going to run as a Republican. 😂 He’d crash out…so friggin hard.

I believe he’s doing a lot of face time with Republicans, Conservatives in a bid to court the moderates & the middle. I also believe he’s going to run for something, probably President. But he’s going to portray himself and run as a “moderate”, “common sense” Democrat. Just you wait & see.
