One of my friends finally joined for two reasons. First he was disgusted by the Reddit ICE ads, and second he realized his Reddit feed was half shit he doesn’t subscribe to.

I politely tell the service reps when they try to upsell me that I only give Comcast money because I have no other choice and I would rather tear off my fingernails than give them more money. Seems to get them to quit their pitch for cell service or whatever bullshit of the day they’re hawking.

My dog’s best friend is a husky. I just sent this to his dad, so thanks for that OP

I did chipotle burritos back in the day, that was fun

Definitely possible and even likely for at least some of them, but I would bet money a good deal of it is just hubris. A ton of these people give off the vibe that they earnestly believe they can do no wrong and know better than the “so called experts” because they’re so great and brilliant and strong. Anyone that tries to pierce that bubble is just a “jealous loser”.

BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN SUPER HEROES TO MUH KIDS?!?!?

Ah well, anyone that asserts statements of fact with no evidence is clearly a pedo

Would love one of these guys to articulate the mechanism by which any of their weird woo woo conspiracies actually work. How do the chemtrails lower fertility? What chemicals are they and how do they change the snow? It’s always just stupid vaguealities

Hmm. I’d suggest adding some sort of tip jar to your website if you haven’t already. Luckily programming is a solid skill that you can monetize to help free yourself from your toxic environment. Perhaps you can do contract programming jobs on a site like fiverr (other commenters may have better suggestions on where you could find work for that)

Do you have any skills, education, or any means of finding work?

Comms works for that. I like to leave the Reddit baggage behind

I use a safari plugin called Wipr. There’s another I’m aware of called Vinegar

Lots of ways around this, even on locked down iOS/iPadOS

Generally people just call them communities here

Don’t make me drip some concentrated caffeine into a pot of decaf

I’ve heard of mpreg but I guess this is… uh… Lpreg?

Fishing expedition an expression for cases where a police officer or agency goes after someone, generally someone they don’t like, usually for personal or political reasons, by searching for crimes the person has committed in absence of any actual suspicion of a crime being committed. Basically digging up dirt on someone as retaliation for whatever they don’t like a person for.

The current DOJ is doing a lot of it. They make up bogus justifications for what are clearly illegal search and seizures so they can make their political enemies’ lives more difficult. None of the charges will stick, but they’ll still ransack your house, confiscate your computers, shit like that. I don’t want to make their lives easier in the event they want to dig up dirt on me; at least they’ll need a search warrant to come in and steal my DVR drive out of my home rather than hitting up a tech company that doesn’t care about me beyond my being a revenue stream to get my data.

It’s not just a random person, you’re opening yourself up to the government subpoenaing wyze and collecting information about you without your knowledge or consent. In a normal world with a responsible government that wouldn’t be a huge deal provided you’re not doing anything seriously wrong, but that ship has sailed as of late. Don’t let them incriminate you with a fishing expedition for convenience

My bad, I mixed up wyze with nest, which google owns. Amazon owns blink and ring. I do know wyze was founded by former Amazon employees, which is definitely not the same as their being controlled or supported by Amazon. That said, you may want to read up on some of their security breaches, which have happened multiple times.
