  • I'm not sure exactly what this meme is trying to say. What I am extrapolating from it however is a personal question, where is Gen Z? I genuinely see less than 10 people who even look like they could be a part of Gen Z at every protest I go to. Its always older people. Where are the people who are in college and just graduated? Why aren't they fighting for their own rights?

  • You're more privileged than you will ever realize being in a country that actually sees human life as something other than capital for profit. I hope you never have to understand what we go through and why these are even things we would have to consider in the first place.

    Thanks for being a condescending dick about it ig.

  • Why is it a nutty take to be concerned? It used to be a nutty take that the ability to be able to repair your own stuff was being taken away, then it was the ability for your cars to track you and to listen to you.

    Why wouldn't Google save biometric data to get a paycheck from the US NSA/CIA/FBI for "terrorism counterintelligence"? What ethics or moral code hold them back from this. There are no laws in place saying they can't do this. All they have to do is specify some vague term in their privacy policy, and regulators would just have to be out-lobbied, which would be no problem for Google and their infinite amounts of money us in the bottom 99% will never see.

    Corporations are not your friends. They do not care about you. They care about profit, and if they can make profit they will make profit. This is not an attempt to argue with you. You're allowed to have your opinion, but being skeptical of changes that corporations are making isn't a bad thing, especially if you end up being right so early that you can make a change.

    Tl;Dr: write your legislator, tell them that you want better consumer protections, even if you think you already have them. It never hurts to make sure you dont get fucked over.

  • I get where you're coming from, but how would they make money on donations when we live in an economy that promotes free (as in beer) products and people feel theyre entitled to free beer. Our small corner of the world (the FOSS/Federated/Left leaning folks) are willing to make this step, western society as a whole (the target audience of 404media) is not. They demonstrated this when advertising won over premium products in the "free market of ideas". You're more than welcome to pirate their work (if your morals allow it, I'm not legally liable for your actions), but do understand that generally, its better to pay-wall a site than to sell ads on your site for the end consumer, and that not everyone is willing to take the risk of having their livelihood be based on the goodwill of others after theyve already gotten the product for free (as in freedom).

  • Does she happen to know a place that's got Allen wrenches, gerbil feeders, toilet seats, electric heaters, trash compactors, juice extractors, shower rods and water meters, walkie-talkies, copper wires, safety goggles, radial tires, BB pellets, rubber mallets, fans and dehumidifiers, picture hangers, paper cutters, waffle irons, window shutters, paint removers, window louvers, masking tape and plastic gutters, kitchen faucets, folding tables, weather stripping, jumper cables, hooks and tackle, grout and spackle, power foggers, spoons and ladles, pesticides for fumigation, high-performance lubrication, metal roofing, waterproofing, multi-purpose insulation, air compressors, brass connectors, wrecking chisels, smoke detectors Tire gauges, hamster cages, thermostats and bug deflectors, trailer hitch demagnetizers, automatic circumcisers, tennis rackets, angle brackets, Duracells and Energizers, soffit panels, circuit breakers, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, calculators, generators, matching salt and pepper shakers?

  • Demonizing you? I put your argument into perspective. YOU made the comparison, I pointed it out. Thats on you bud.

    If you think I'm "willfully misinterpreting" you, maybe consider what you say before you say it, and consider there are real human beings being affected by the words you use. Consider that, yeah, the country is fucking burning down, and inside that country, there are 100s, maybe thousands of people with pets in domestic violence households, and you just told all those people to shove it because there are bigger issues.
