  • But think of the children!

    These are the same people who push things like age verification, and banning porn. The really worse part about this, despite his hand-waving “I didn’t mean to offend anyone” bullshit, is that this apparently has become so normalized that this has become something that is taking a large amount of effort and time to resolve (if it ever gets resolved).

    In any normal timeline, this a) would have never happened so publicly, and 2) he would’ve been immediately removed and stepped down in shame.

    But here we are: the Dark Ages pt. 2. Their masks are off, and they are leaving their shame behind. This is our new normal.

    1500 sqft.

    And I presume you’re asking because maybe you’re suggesting I have a big house and fancy cars and spend my money wildly. I don’t. I live frugally., and I budget my money accordingly.

    But my pay is stagnant (NC hasn’t passed a budget in a couple of years, so no pay raises for us state employees), my car and mortgage insurances are rising, as are grocery and gas prices. Kids are expensive, especially as they get older.

    I also stopped buying Starbucks and eating avocado toast. I’m still waiting for those millions to pour in as a consequence. 🙄 /s








  • Sure. Fundamentally, this is what ads should do. The problem comes from how intrusive they are in pushing their propaganda. And now they’re literally everywhere.

    I remember back in the day before browser tabs when sites would open new windows for ads. And sometimes those ads would open more windows for ads. And some of those windows had sound, or porn, or both. Worse yet, some would open off screen so you couldn’t easily close them. That’s where the term “pop-up” came from in pop-up blockers.

    ~Talk about whack-a-mole.~


  • Any employee willing to be paid by token or crypto gets what they deserve. The only reason these companies can get away with this crap is because the proletariat are allowing it.

    You need a job, and you want it to be exciting; that’s understandable. Maybe you’re trying to break into the industry. Yes, it’s tough. People will tell you that you’ve got to pay your dues or some other “toe the line” bullshit.

    People need to realize that companies are not friends, they are a means to an end. And you are their means to an end. They will use you, just like you will use them. If they want you to work pong hours for as little pay as they can get away with, walk away. There are other jobs out there. They may not be glamorous, but they are out there.

    You can read the news, tweets, posts, whatever of people you disagree with. Sharing said information is not a promotion of their agenda or platform; it’s information gathering.

    To ignore opposing views, simply because they are opposing, is exactly what the other side does; two sides of the same coin. I would wager you don’t want to be like them.

    The blue checkmark is most certainly supporting Musk and his agenda, so that is critique worthy by itself.
