Lotus Eaters "On Victimless Crimes" SMACK BACK - Jody Bruchon Politics

No, you don't get to punish someone for not hurting someone else based on some vague notion of "social harm" that magically gets decided on by you as the authority of morality. These people are the right-hand side of horseshoe theory.

Steven Crowder is Right, Daily Wire is Wrong (Pass-Through Soft Censorship) - Jody Bruchon Politics

The contract offered by Daily Wire was an insult. You don't negotiate with someone who makes it so blatantly clear that they don't understand your business, how you make money, and the nature of the risks and challenges against your success.

The Black Little Mermaid is PEAK DISREPECT Towards Black People - Jody Bruchon Politics

Surely I'm not the only person that thinks that black people deserve their own original stories instead of an existing "white" story with a black coat of paint slapped on top of it. The people who think this is great because of "representation" should be deeply offended because it's not representation at all; it's exploitation of black skin to virtue signal and to stir controversy for marketing purposes.

Besides, even ignoring the whole lazy race-swapping thing...the movie looks awful. Is "she looks like she's in a dark, dirty place with amateur-level lighting" how black people really want to see themselves "represented?" How is it that ANY black person defends this absurd tokenism?

Trump's "Grab Them By The Pussy" Remark Was a Good Thing - Calling Out Corruption - Jody Bruchon

Trump was widely maligned for his Access Hollywood hot mic moment where he said "when you're a star, they'll let you do anything, grab them by the p***y." In context, it is extremely obvious that it is not an admission by Trump of non-consensually groping women, despite media parroting this lie in the hopes that it will become truth through repetition. I'm not making this video to talk about that, though; I need to share what I only recently realized about this remark by Trump and why it's actually a very good thing that he said it.

In short: he's recognizing that some women choose to use their sexuality to manipulate powerful men to obtain access to that power; it's not generally that powerful men are molesting unwilling women as in the Weinstein case, but instead that women are sexually provoking men with money and influence to become involved with them, thereby dragging that power towards themselves for personal benefit. Rather than making light of groping women, Trump's statement can be viewed as both noticing and openly calling out this form of corruption.

Don't you want someone in power who recognizes and calls out corruption? Well, yes, unless you're a person who benefits from that corruption. What does that tell you about the people who twisted the Access Hollywood audio around?

Windows 11 Must Be Stopped - A Veteran PC Repair Shop Owner's Dire Warning - Jody Bruchon

*PLEASE WATCH THE UPDATE VIDEO:* https://www.bitchute.com/video/LSod2rA8WjMZ/

The requirements for Windows 11 include UEFI, Secure Boot, and a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). This is how Microsoft will make every piece of computing hardware submit to their whims within the next decade. Do you own your computer or not?

The correct pronunciation of Linux: https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/SillySounds/english.wav

10:16 You've already accepted losing control
11:20 Apple pulled Tumblr from iPhones without permission
12:38 Apple Silicon = no more alternatives on Macs
13:50 Piracy protects you against rental software
14:44 Rental software means your data is rented too
16:04 It's been happening slowly for decades

This Plague Will Probably Not Kill You - A White Pill - Jody Bruchon

Everywhere you look, you find a new reason to be deathly afraid of the plague we're currently dealing with. I thought it would be nice to offer up a little bit of a positive reality check. Make no mistake: this thing must be taken seriously, but as long as our medical systems don't get overwhelmed, you're almost certainly not going to die of this plague.

Be aware, be rational, and take preventative measures...but DON'T PANIC!

But You HAD A CHOICE And CHOSE To Use Windows (or macOS) - Jody Bruchon

When is a choice really a choice? When you can make that choice free of larger consequences. Choosing not to eat a hamburger won't affect your life all that much, but choosing to not participate in society...that's a whole different story.

Protecting Work Using Secret Watermarks in GIMP (Tutorial) - Jody Bruchon

I came up with a technique for hiding an identifying watermark in a photo that is almost completely invisible but is also easily revealed with some sharpening. You can use this to prove that an image is yours. This method of watermarking should survive all but the most severe resizing, editing, and compression.

The Lie Of: Tone Policing - Jody Bruchon

"Tone policing" is claimed to be an illegitimate conversation tactic to shut down conversation by shifting focus from the arguments being made to the manner in which a person is delivering those arguments. While it is true that the way in which a statement is made doesn't change the truth or falsehood of the statement, accusations of "tone policing" are almost always an abuse tactic by the person making that accusation rather than a valid complaint. The typical context where a "tone policing" accusation arises is when a social justice warriors (SJWs), feminists, and other politically activist types are engaging in verbally and psychologically abusive behavior and are called out for it. It is also often paired with implicit or explicit accusations of racism, sexism, or some other assignment of identity-based hate, along with downplaying their own aggressive behaviors as mere anger and frustration rather than bullying and abuse.

In essence, the accusation of "tone policing" is a tactic to reverse victim and offender, enabling a verbally abusive person to continue abusing, bullying, and threatening others under the false notion of being oppressed if forced to adhere to notions of respectful, professional, or polite conduct.

Is YouTube DELETING ME?! "Members of the COMMUNITY are CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS" - Jody Bruchon

I think I've uncovered something you're not allowed to talk about cross-platform...and YouTube is onto me.

"The YouTube Community Outreach Team regularly reaches out to users who may not otherwise get an opportunity to share their thoughts with us. We’re reaching out to you because members of the community were concerned about some of the comments you’ve posted on YouTube. We’d like to hear about your experience – please take a moment to complete our survey and share your thoughts. We’re here to listen.

Dell Inspiron 14-7415 SSD Upgrade - How to Replace the M.2 2230 SSD With M.2 2280 SSD - Jody Bruchon

The Dell Inspiron 14-7415 already comes with a NVMe PCIe SSD, but there's a problem: it's the far less common M.2 2230 form factor. There is plenty of room for a M.2 2280 drive...and if you open the machine, there's no mount post to actually put such a drive in the machine. This video shows you how to remove the SSD mount bracket and move the mount post to the 2280 position so you can install any common M.2 2280 SSD in place of the tiny M.2 2230 one.
