I used to listen to Joe maga Rogan when I was young and lost. He used to motivate me to exercise and better myself. In 2016 when the orange guy ran, he started saying things like, "what's so wrong with saying the n word?" He used to sound like he cared about people.Now he ridicules people who are different than him.
Shapiro just sounds like he's glad he's rich and he doesn't care.
That's a good illustration of what it feels like.
I think it can also feel like being born again but not in a good way. I mean having to learn how to think and socialize. I had to work past being angry about missing out on life.
I witnessed my teacher make up his mind about leaving the organization.
The guy who was conducting my personal bible study one day paused for a second after reading a bible verse (I can't remember which one at this point). He talked about how the verse was in harmony with the teachings of another cult called "La Luz Del Mundo". Then he continued with the study.
The following week, he cancelled our study.
The week after that, he never contacted me again.
If he went to go join that other cult, i guess it's still better than being in the Watchtower.

What would you like for everyone to know about the type of job you have?
Well since I've been mostly in customer service jobs I'd like for people to know that the reps don't make the rules or decisions. When there is something about a store or service that's undesirable such as prices then it's something to bring up to upper management or just let them lose you as a customer. But you can be as nice to the reps as they are to you.

Please try different shoes. I was panicking that my knees were gone and it was just the shoes.
Pixel 3a is a soldier.
I got a used Pixel 3a on eBay 2 years ago. I've left it in the humid restroom and even accidentally dipped it in water to where the speakers got wet and blared. It dried off and the loudspeaker sounds normal again and everything still works.
Since then, I've also bought a used pixel 4 that developed a flickering screen and a used pixel 6 that overheated, Sim reader malfunctioned, won't turn on anymore, and was declared unfixable at quikFix.
To be fair I also have a new pixel that I love the heck out of. But my go-to for using at home with wired headphones is the soldier, Pixel 3a.

AnySoftKeyboard is nice also
Yes Tech-Bore sums it up nicely
What are some good real privacy podcasts/channels?
I started out watching some YouTube channels that claim to be dedicated to keeping me private and secure with recent news but found that some of them have a history of advertising NordVPN. Those channels sometimes sounded like they were defending Apple then telling people if they don't like the content then to just scram. Also, they would talk about custom roms for Android, then eventually when the channel got more viewers, the host makes a video advertising Google and why he now uses stock Google Android and saying that it's advanced. These channels, I sometimes find, either have bots or loyal followers on YouTube and Reddit that are ready to gaslight someone for questioning them. They don't hang out on other platforms like Odysee which is strange.
What is a good podcast about privacy and security?
Good conversation with J-dubs about the Bible.
Normally, Jehovah's Witnesses are taught to plug their ears and run when they begin to hear what the Bible truly says. But these witnesses decided to listen to the truth.
Btw I'm not a Bible person myself. I just like the deprogramming of Watchtower cult members.
To this day I don't know what or why Google Chrome was using up all the processing power on my laptop while it was installed. As soon as I deleted Chrome, my 12gb laptop ran fine again.
It probably wasn't keylogging but it was probably not updating itself 24/7 either.
NP. Yeah I only routed Tor browser around the VPN in the past to not slow it down too much but I hardly use Tor anymore so VPN routes everything now.
You can route traffic through VPN on the phone, then just use split tunneling to exclude apps that should have regular network access without VPN. But you have to switch off "Block connections without VPN" in settings.
Best GPS navigation app that doesn't require Google Play Services in 2023?
I'm looking to never have to use Google Maps. Is OsmAnd+ the best?
GrapheneOS on Pixel 6: In addition to my physical Sim card, I downloaded 2 eSims(I know I'm weird).
I like having the option to cut network access to anything and also the option to run Google apps like on stock Google Android.
I don't feel tracked by businesses that I visit anymore.
I was on YouTube a lot. Some of the channels I watched were taken down though like CS the Apostate. JW Fairytale was a popular one at the time but I wasn't into it as much as I am now.
I think reading the new testament on its own without WT literature is enough research to know the WT is deceiving.

I consider Brax one of the major internet privacy info outlets(don't hate me). I listen to his live streams but I don't buy or use his stuff.
Can I mirror YouTube videos to Odysee?
I want to download my favorite debates and old videos from YouTube to upload to Odysee. Can I do that without getting in some sort of legal trouble? Thanks
I feel like I'm on Infinity but was transported to a better version of Reddit.
Workout euphoria
I get workout euphoria from the group fitness classes at the boxing gym.
How do you get that feeling from a workout?
How did you wake up?
Basically, for me it was a combination of things. Feeling that life was unfair to me even though I was a perfect JW was the beginning. The JW way of life is strict beyond belief and I had felt embarassed inside because of practicing it. The next part was the actual information. I watched a lot of Propaganda Techniques' (a YouTube channel about the Watchtower) channel and I don't know if I would have stayed out of the tower without that information.
