I mean there was some joke libertarian candidate that literally ran under the slogan “Make America Grate Again” claiming that he would outlaw sliced and shredded cheeses to make America embrace its graters and its grating roots.
I bought a rotary grater about two years ago thanks to a post on Reddit and I rarely ever buy sliced cheese anymore, if I do it’s the kind that comes in one pack with parchment paper in between the slices.
We are all prostitutes in some way, shape or form under capitalism. Tell them that at thanksgiving and example that renting yourself to a company to drive trucks, scan tills,deliver pizza is not that different to renting yourself out for sex. Both involve you doing a service for others in exchange for cash.
You’d think that a country with a recent, well documented, lived example of how prohibition doesn’t actually fix anything might have learnt something from the experience
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t prohibit people from doing antisocial things that harm others, I’m saying that adults doing things/consuming things/selling things in a safe, regulated way where everyone consents, understands what they are doing and the risks associated and no one gets hurt probably shouldn’t be illegal.
I do not respect you and would not care or even notice if you disappeared tomorrow and no one ever found you because you had been kidnapped and murdered in the worst way imaginable.
I’ve been cutting every piece of software that shows me ads out of my life. I basically just have Lemmy and streaming services now. It’s pretty great, but now if I’m somewhere and I see or hear an ad I get extremely annoyed.
The lemmy post about them feeling gross was relatable. Like everyone’s so fake enjoying [product] and you’re just watching asking "how does this convince anyone to buy [product]
Doesn’t everyone feel this way about ads? I don’t feel like the advert algorithms ever get a good lock on me. On the few occasions I’ve gotten adverts it has been for things like “Visit the UAE” or “Visit Dubai” and a lot of pregnancy and feminine hygiene related stuff.
I’m a gay man. Pretty sure I’d get stoned to death in Dubai/UAE, and pregnancy is just not on the menu for me.
Yup, they never figured me out either.. Ads are annoying and stupid and thinking about how much resources are poured into them and how much everyone's time is wasted makes me angry.
I don't remember the last time I ever saw an ad but I'm pretty sure if I got one it would be completely unrelated as well. I got way too many different personas on the interwebs. I don't even know anymore which one is real.
This is me with those stupid “Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx” ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).
To their credit, they’ve stopped claiming they’re cheaper than groceries
I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven’t noticed? A lot of the time I’m using Snapchat out of the house, I haven’t bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)
Yeah, I’ve noticed it’s gotten really bad. I’m not a sports fan myself, but I’ve tried watching NFL with my brother, and it’s borderline unwatchable due to the sheer amount of ads.
