Good, I love BLR

HAWP, DayJobOrchestra, BadLipReading, YourGrammarSucks, LTT

Also, I do not reliably watch YouTube.

:(

Like !fediverse@lemmy.world?

Ignorance. The US doesn’t even have an official language lol

Negative. Corporate personhood predates Citizens United v. FCC (which is what I assume you’re referring to). IMO: The ruling itself still counts as an answer to the original question though!

Just remove their stem valve cores lol

That’s pre-21st century though.

Eh, it’s ok. I think I kinda got burnt out on South Park in college.

Apologies in advance, I’m not exactly your target audience:

I can drive just about anything short of a semi-truck (when I have to drive a car, it’s usually an old manual Subaru), but I still refuse to drive whenever possible: Partly for environmental reasons, partly for financial reasons, and partly because I would much rather ride my ebike or my bicycle instead.

I’m going to cook my chicken before I eat it.

I’d use airbending to make sure I had a tailwind everywhere I rode my bike, and earthbending to make the wheels spin faster.

Also, waterbending just for hydration and keeping rain off of me.

I guess firebending for when it gets cold or when a vehicle tries to murder me.

Avatar: The bicycle commuter.

Can relate: I signed up for my instance purely because of the name lol

leminal.space

lol, I love that instance name

I don’t really use either.

I don’t keep a list, I just get interested in various things and feel compelled to learn more/get better at it.

The one thing we can certainly count on META doing is screwing their users over if they think it might make them money.

Go on hikes through forested trails on a regular basis, no bullshit.

They get their money from advertisers and by selling your data even when they charge for it. Advertising is out of control and paid services are increasingly including them despite charging you. I wouldn’t have a problem with paid services if they had a fair price, offered a good service, and didn’t have ads but the trend has been to increasingly offer worse service for more money, oh and maybe some ads too! Gotta chase those profits.

These are just work arounds for how bad ads are, all the criticism about advertisements is still legitimate.

I get that you can effectively make them not a problem (at least, for now), but it shouldn’t be a problem in the first place.
