Advertising is a mental hazard that must be constantly managed. It’s draining to defend against as it is almost everyone at all times. I keep advertising to a minimum in my home and I can feel the invasiveness of it when I’m not there, I’ve definitely lost tolerance for advertising over the years and will discard something every quickly if it shows up. Adblock at all times on the net.

They aren’t building things for our benefit, they’re building things for their benefit. All the idiots who gleefully bought devices with surveillance and tracking and data collection, normalized it. Now everyone has to use some of this shit or their life suffers.

Why the hell would they stop taking when the consumer market has lost any sense of caution?

Everyone should be bothered by surveillance, it ain’t about wrongdoing, it’s about further empowering the people who think us suffering and dying for their profits is perfectly acceptable.

We’re not looking to, but if it happens, it happens.

Was raised by a woman who was always right, even when she wasn’t.

Plenty of women are confident and assertive and successful…maybe not you…

Women love it whenever a women is right.

Part of me is glad the liabilities of trusting these companies with the history of your life are validated. If you don’t control access, you don’t own it.

Your suffering is not a KPI so it doesn’t matter.

English bad, traditional state approved Chinese good.
