I’d be more disappointed in the missed naming opportunity: Upperware

It’ll take me a while to respond to this, but it is hilarious you would refer to a voice for decorum and patience as “bully class” in an article/discussion about organizing obstructionists for maximum appeal.

Good point about slave revolts actually. That didn’t cross my mind. Voting wouldn’t have helped much on that front.

As for the morally justified angle, that is highly subjective. Your ideals may not align with mine. Does that mean I need to counter-obstruct obstructism I disagree with? That sounds like rapid escalation.

I did read that article, reflecting on recent perspectives, and as it is written for modern times, it raised concern; to have a outline/playbook to organize obstructionists in this climate is woefully tactless when masses are so easily enraged.

That said, there are many ways to get your message out. Websites, pamphlets, signs, heck we are Ad ridden everywhere. There is no excuse. Changing laws isn’t glamorous, isn’t fast, and isn’t easy. But the right way has no shortcuts.

Second, (in the USA) your rights end when they infrige on anothers’. To impose my needs selfishly at the expense of yours is not only infringing your rights, but possibly accruing damages.

This is not victimless behavior regardless of cause. It absolutely should not be encouraged.

It’s easy. Don’t do it.

I support protesting and free speech. I do not support disruption. In fact, it shouldn’t even be called a “protest” in the first place. Adding that tries to legitimize theft. (Yes, denied use is legally theft.) You don’t always get your way in democracy and throwing a tantrum doesn’t work.

What does is voting and education. It’s harder, but the right thing to do.

One of my favorite homebrews was made with hojicha. I’ve made it a few times.

And walking down to the food court to use a bathroom may be, ahem, problematic for a retirement community.

There was a dead mall in a nearby city that was finally bulldozed to make way for apartments. It’s taken decades and nowhere near habitable yet. Sort of a start though.

Kif! We have a conundrum!

Shhh! Nobody tell them about “inside out.”

As I’ve heard someone say last year: “I wish Reddit a happy Digg.com”

You’re always seconds away from death. Just take another breath to reset the clock.

Hold on to your butts…

Good luck on your updates. Thanks for all your work. Raise a glass

That’s exactly where I wanted to work, but before you hate, I wanted to get into advertising because I didn’t like what I saw and thought I could do better. I got the degrees, took the psych classes, and set off to change the world for the better. Nobody hired me.

You can’t buy what you don’t know exists, and there are some awesome things out there. But being hammered by messages or propaganda is lazy and abusive; I don’t put up with it.

So yeah, I’m an wannabe advertiser turned massive ad blocker/privacy supporter. Screw the industry.

Let’s bring back contextual integrity! Woot!

Paying a PG&E bill loads scripts from the following:

adroll.com, appdynamics.com, cookielaw.org, decibelinsights.net, demdex.net, facebook.net, go-impulse.net, googletagmanager.com, licdn.com, medallia.com, onetrust.com, optimized.com, pages04.net, tealiumiq.com, tiqcdn.com, seg.js

There is a nonconductive coating on the wire that also prevents it from oxidizing. The wires can touch, but if the coating isn’t scratched it won’t short.

Some fine grit sandpaper will reveal the metal so you can solder connections.

Ehhh… Have one of those too.

Still has some advertising but my pihole stopped that… until they bypassed it by hard coding DNS servers. Took longer to block that one.

I’d say they are a better option, but that was still mean of them.

I complained about this to “support” a few days ago. A full screen ad before the home screen with the top 1/3 an ad and the bottom 1/3 ads.

Straight up told them I will pick another manufacturer this weekend.

I’m burned out on protecting myself from smart devices. Maybe just a dumb screen this round.

Edit: I have every single privacy setting set to off, but some update added a new category and defaults to on. Don’t know how long Amazon has been spying on me or what they took.

My device has autoplay off already. It may have stopped a full screen video ad, but there is a full screen picture ad instead.

Let’s see here… $14/year * 9℅ = roughly $1.25.

BREAKING NEWS Namecheap raises price $1.25 / year

Unless im missing something big. I’m not thrilled, but I’m also not that concerned as long as trends remain intact. I only have a dozen or so sites and a few just for email.
