Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Will an anti advertisement movement ever materialize?
31·3 months agoWe know they aren’t. But the point is to make their jobs so discouraging, they wouldn’t ever want to do shit for these companies again. That’s only the beginning.
Besides, a lot of them chose to do that job anyways. Don’t try garnering sympathy for these kinds of people.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Will an anti advertisement movement ever materialize?
10·3 months agoI’ve been pushing it for a while now.
But, we need to start harassing marketers.
We need to tell them “No, I won’t and haven’t ever subscribed to your shit. I’ve never bought your shit. You spend millions to shove your shitty product and service in my face, everywhere I go and everything I use. I will continue to use adblockers to spite you. I will shit all over your product and service in anyway I can. I will send back the shit you’ve sent me. And if anything, I will get personal with you because you’ve been harassing me and getting away with it for however long, just because you’ve spent millions to do so. I am making it even.”

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Name one material thing you yearned for when you were younger, but never got it, and now in retrospect you're glad you didn't get it because ______?
2·3 months agoPlus you can’t really drive motorbikes if you live in places where snow and ice happens. I never really see any motorcyclists out in winter and for very good reason.

4·3 months agoCollege.
My high school ‘career’ showed nothing but embarrassment, I long knew the risks and costs of college and I could’ve formulated a plan to attend a college had my grades and education improved. Unfortunately this never came to be and I never got so much of a sniff at college, even at community level.
But now with how colleges and universities are handled today, I’m glad I didn’t attend any because the costs would far outweigh any benefit.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most painfully obvious thing you've seen have to be written out?
64·3 months agoI’m seeing this a lot with how people post on some instances in the fediverse. I’ve already made like several reports alone of the some of the posts people have made where they just simply disregard the rules of the instance. It isn’t to be a dick, its just pointing out the obtuse behavior some people have in regards to the rules in place.
If you want your posts to stick better, learn to read the rules. It is not that hard. And it isn’t like the rules are like miles long as they would be in Reddit. They’re short, comprehensible and not as confusing.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•In what ways do you document your life? How often?
1·3 months agoWeirdly, chat logs and friend conversations.
Whatever I’ve told them and whatever I said somewhere, it’s a pinpoint recollection of where things were at for me at the time.
This is a morbid take but it applies to me right now.
After 30 or 30s rather, you are in a position of your life where you can look back at everything that has lead up to your life at its current point. If you decide that your life hasn’t been as fruitful as you wanted it to be, you’ve endured a lot of shortcomings, you’ve taken a lot of shit on the chin, you’re not looking forward to growing old where anything and everything will take advantage of you. I can’t blame a single person who decided to call it a wrap, if you know what I mean.
I plan on going on a little more further but there will be a stage in my life where I’ve got nothing to both look forward to and nothing worth of merit that had made my life completely worthwhile, where I’d just call it right then and there.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst thing to have only available via subscription? And what isn't yet, but would be?
1·3 months agoYup. And they’ve been trying to do this for years.
They have as better shot as any right now, considering who’s in charge of the FCC.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst thing to have only available via subscription? And what isn't yet, but would be?
2·3 months agoThat’s not what I’m referring to.
What I’m referring to is the attempts made to axe Net Neutrality from corrupted chairmen of the FCC who wants to put ISPs in control of what content you’re to access, based on tiered internet and wanting to charge you more to access other parts of said content.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the biggest case of planned obsolescence you've dealt with?
12·3 months agoMy phones.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A15 as a substitute work phone, it plays music for me when I’m there overnight and whatnot. Provides me entertainment. and I have a Samsung Galaxy A32-5G which is the main primary phone with a plan on it.
The battery life apparently drains faster than I remember it. Sometimes when I leave the phones alone for awhile after a work week, I’ll usually get a good extra day and a half off from them. But, sometimes I have to keep charging because from 100%, they dip down to 94 and 96 respectively.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the worst thing to have only available via subscription? And what isn't yet, but would be?
1·3 months agoThe planned internet as a subscription idea that has been on and off.
It’s teetering, but I believe it’s going to happen one day or another. Where, you’ll have to pay a subscription for a part of the internet. Like for Streaming or Social Media or whatever else .etc

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How strategically operate the people behind Trump?
3·3 months agoI see Trump’s terms the same way as I saw Bush’s terms.
Bush and Trump were the blatant, chaotic and incomprehensible senile fools on the surface. It’s the people they put in their administration are the ones running the show.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What movie trailer was better than the actual movie?
1·3 months agoI loved that movie’s version of King Ghidorah, I liked any and all of the monster scenes. The problem is that it fell to the Transformers issue, where they focused on the humans than the monsters. I didn’t care about the parents and child conflict but it tried butting in the story at many moments.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What movie trailer was better than the actual movie?
4·3 months agoOr why Azog was there, a character who died out many years before the Hobbit journey even began. Like was Smaug, the Necromancer and the Goblin King not enough for antagonists? That’s quite stacked if you tell me.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What movie trailer was better than the actual movie?
2·3 months agoProbably for the best. I just can’t imagine Will Smith being Neo.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would they dare to regulate (eliminate) part of the population if they no longer need us in the future?
271·3 months agoI believe it’s already happening, but it’s not as straightforward as people imagined it’d be.
Like for example, the healthcare costs. I think that’s a filter to see who can survive by paying the absurd amounts. Therefore, people will die if they can’t.
Recruit people for the military, send them off into battles, eh a few hundred or a thousand die - more filtering.
Mishandling pandemics and ignoring solemn advice in how to handle them, 350k people died, what do you say President? “It is what it is” just more filtering.
So my point is, is people need to drop these fantasies of countries who actively plan to wipe out populations by sheer force and throwing bombs around.
It’s already happening because we’re dealing with con artists and cunning megalomaniacs.

Children car-seats are such a scammy looking business. They build them as cheaply as possible and use materials that degrade. Some people even toss them for the slightest thing wrong that wouldn’t otherwise ruin the purpose and security of the car-seat.
And yet the average cost is like $100 ~ $300 just for a decent one. I can understand tossing one if you’ve been in an accident or something but if it can still be used and your child is still secure and safe, what’s the problem?
