Right now a lot of us are trying to divest and diversify from having our entire lives on Google both because of the way Google spends its money and the long-standing privacy concerns seeming a bit more scary now.

What services have you switched to and what has your experience been? What do you like, what don't you like, would you recommend them?

You're going down a slippery slope fallacy.

First off, endorsing means that you have a public approval of or support of so it doesn't mean what you twisted it up as. So when I say he endorsed Trump, I am saying that he supported or approved something he did, not saying that he's a MAGA voter. Contexts and learning what words are used in them is kind of important. Maybe you ought to learn that sometime.

Secondly, I don't give a flying fuck if Trump ever made some recipe, the old bastard is going around doing too much shit that outweighs any positive thing he's done. Any positive thing he's done, we would've much have rather it be someone else and not him, because of the amount of stigma that surrounds him because of the shit he's done that has affected millions.

That's literally saying and I really hate beating this dead horse, but it's saying Hitler actually did make some good art pieces, so we should ignore the fact that he was the executor of a grand scale war that costed millions of lives and hosted a death march on those he didn't like.

Then you are misinformed about what it means to endorse someone. Or just intentionally twisting the definition to allow for ragebait. Contexts and learning what words are used in them is kind of important. Maybe you ought to learn that sometime.

They didn't ask if you cared about a recipe. You're tossing aside the point of their comment and getting on your pedestal to rant.

Saying "Hitler made good art pieces" would also not be an endorsement.
