them having no control or forethought makes thing worse for all of us. In my opinion, its in essence same type of behavior as throwing trash on the street.

because what you buy is what you support. and a lot of people support this shit. Buying stuff from companies should be viewed as sign of endorsement of their actions.

the “i do what i want with my money” people are so annoying. i wish they would be on the suffering side for change, maybe it would teach a little solidarity for others.

constant propaganda and suppression.

it empowers the idiots and keeps those who can think down.

which is why any opensource project should have strict restrictions about how companies are allowed to use it.

its horrifying to imagine what he has done that is so bad he can be blackmailed over it

its actually quite weird how strongly the ai is being pushed everywhere. Though I guess it just proves how deep the rot goes.

i wonder if it eventually comes to having to resort to legal action because of this. Those detectors are unreliable yet you can be penalized based on what they spew. And lost grades is lasting consequence.

change it to “happy-adjustable-spanners” like that one guy did when he lost a bet 😄

at some point, if they manage to make everything so difficult to get that its just not worth the time, i wonder if some start to consider if they should turn their attention to striking back. For me, watching stuff is mostly letting focus on other things than how shitty the world is. If all of it was taken away from me, i dont know what i would do.

we already have heating plants that transfer heat to homes via water, couldnt they just do that instead of wasting all the drinking water?

anything big corporation controlled imo. Maybe not always all the time, but that is actively trying to harm people. They wont call it harm, but that is what it is.

i think it would be more comforting to think its reptilians in power rather than humans who act like that.

real one would have succeeded

put current administartion in jail to a man, abolish both parties, start extensive campaign rooting out the corruption and influence of the rich from your country. 2/3 of those at least.

protesting is one of the few “real” things left to us, it would be horrifying it that got commercialised too.

i wonder what the most obscure god was

no, i think its about there being something better than all… * this *. And how to be better and maybe get out of here after you die. Though I think it servers only as a general guide and you are supposed to find your own way.

Then at some point priests noticed how they can use religion to their own ends and they started twisting it and inventing more stuff and now here we are.

if you dont block some applications from internet, they definitely are listening somehow. not sure if they can bypass the microphone permission, but if any has constant access then that is that. what i meant that the phone itself doesnt seem to have thing where it listens on you. average user who is not technically adept at all will have their phone riddled with spyware so no wonder they are seeing targeted ads.

Fakebook is just facilitating the ads, the advertising companies are the ones with the data. Though what facebook does with it is likely that they try manipulate you through their algorithm, suggesting stuff they want you to see based on the data collected. Be it for increased addiction, manipulation of opinions or something else.

those are indeed quite interesting. i’m also not impressed with the church for branding them heretics. the religious reasons provided seem more like excuses to cover secular reasons they wanted to silence these.

some of these seem quite apt for modern day too, as a resistance to how things are.

and ironically one could likely draw more people in by openly declaring yourself as a heretic if you wanted to revive these 😆
