  • See, people say that ad companies can use all this information they gather to better serve targeted advertising, but that’s just not my anecdotal experience.

    I get served ads all the time in languages I don’t speak, for VERY specific job related audiences that I’m not even close to related to, state politics that I’ve never lived in, services that I’m already actively subscribed to, just the worst targeting ever.

    If I have to get advertised to, I’d so much rather get an ad that could actually be at all relevant to my life, or even some generic ad over the total misses.

    Like, if you’re going through the trouble to do all this shady shit to get my data at least be good at it using it…




  • That the system sucks doesn’t absolve people from the choices they make when they have the opportunity. People who chose to not vote passively supported whomever won, thus Trump. Everyone who chose not to vote is culpable for the suffering the administration causes, aids or allows.

    It was a trolley problem, anyone claiming that washing their hands of the decision means they bear no responsibility for the results is deluding themselves.

    It even doesn’t makes sense if you’re a single issue voter on genocide. There are only 3 possibilities:

    1. Thryet Believe Trump would support it less, they should vote for Trump, as that would reduce it.
    2. They Believe both support it about the same, they should vote based the 2nd/3rd/etc issue, because you can’t impact you first, so you should impact something else you care about.
    3. They Believe Harris would support it less, they should vote for Harris, as that would reduce it.






  • The elected Republicans are largely doing what they said they’d do to get elected, whether or not they’re good people or support good policy, they’re representing what their constituents voted for.

    It doesn’t matter if every R is worse, an R wouldn’t have Chucklefuck’s seat, which is why he needs to be primaried out next time, and we hope whoever does that can faithfully represent the will of the people who elected them.

    The 10 Dems that supported this fiasco are not representing their constituents and those constituents have no recourse under the law to fix that other than just waiting to hopefully not get tricked next time. Traitors deserve all the ire they get.
