"Conservatism [...] can't be defeated with logic and reasoning"

This is the key point that a lot of people miss.

If you wholeheartedly, or at least performatively, believe that there is a "natural" hierarchy where some people are better than others, then what one might see as equality is seen as oppression by hardline conservatives.

This is why emotion is the key component of Trumpian messaging, regardless of veracity.

The key is to never play the game. Always proactivity act with questions, never "defend" and react with truth; they're not interested in the truth.

Thank you! Here's a rough guide to pronouncing these place names:

Ynys Lochtyn = "UNus LOKH-tun" Llangrannog = "shan-GRAN-og"

The double-l "ll" letter in Welsh is pronounced like a "sh" sound, but harsher and further back in the mouth.

Similarly, the "ch" letter is similar to the Scottish Gaelic "ch" sound they use for words like "loch".

Ah, apologies. I should've specified: Preferably Chromium based. Thank you for your suggestion though, I appreciate it.

Is there an Android browser that has ad blocking but still allows you to sign into your Google account?

Thank you! I think about colour palettes and colour contrast a lot.

Thanks!

This might give you a better idea of pronunciation.

Well this is the Yorkshire Dales; there are caves everywhere. In fact, just south east of where this waterfall is one can follow the main public footpath to Jubilee Cave and Victoria Cave. 👍

The state of waterways in this country, and the sheer greed and arrogance of the companies tasked with managing, is abhorrent. There is no way that water should've ever been privatised in England. Water as a resource is a natural monopoly.

Thanks! Sorry to hear that something seems off for you. There's no tilt-shift; this was shot zoomed in at f/11 for sharpness throughout. Saturation has actually been turned down as well, as the greens in all the foliage were really popping.
