Are you actually trying to imply that "Fox News" (or whatever your bogeyman/scapegoat) has fabricated all of the videos of violence while faking the loss of numerous businesses and the deaths of dozens of people? We can literally watch videos of masked "protesters" destroying property, assaulting or killing people and marching around carrying antifa flags and wearing antifa shirts while calling for the death of America. Are you saying those are fake?

No you don't, you're a wiseacre trying to inflate his ego. The fact that you demonstrably failed to read or understand my post before you responded is proof of that. Further, the fact that you now feel like I'm attacking you (I'm not) for pointing that out is an indication of insecurity.

Or maybe you're just trolling and I unwittingly took the bait.

"Say you travelled in time, in an attempt to stop COVID-19's patient zero from being exposed to the virus. However if you stopped that individual from becoming infected, that would eliminate the motivation for you to go back and stop the pandemic in the first place. This is a paradox, an inconsistency that often leads people to think that time travel cannot occur in our universe. [L]ogically it's hard to accept because that would affect our freedom to make any arbitrary action. It would mean you can time travel, but you cannot do anything that would cause a paradox to occur...."

If the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct, the act of travelling back in time (and indeed all actions) would branch off a new temporal reality without affecting the one you left. This would also mean that time travel paradoxes cannot occur. I would like to think that the universe is so nice and orderly but there is no way that we can know.

My list of essential extensions:

uMatrix
Vanilla Cookie Manager
Decentraleyes
Random User-Agent
Dark Reader

I know the last one isn't privacy related, but it's such a necessity for me that I included it. Since I use Vivaldi, I use the built-in tracker and ad blocker with DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar and Fanboy+Easylist-Merged Ultimate List blocking sources.

It's one of my most used extensions too and certainly my most interacted with extension since I have everything but first party resources (minus cookies) blocked by default, so there are usually a few things I need to enable for each new site I visit. I don't really see a problem in development being halted though as it's already complete and has been for some time.
