and it made the situation several orders of magnitude worse.
before you just used your favorite plugin and be done with it. you can't do that anymore, because you now have to allow for a cookie saying you don't want their cookies and you have to trust them to respect that. if that cookie is not there, they will bother you for the rest of their lives.
that is ignoring that you would have to individually opt out of every single one of their one million legitimate business partners.
i am using the ublock origin to block the dialogs, but it unfortunately works highly unreliably.
well many do and they will buy cheap shit anyway. and i am not talking about boots, i am talking about people who have a dog, which is clearly non-essential expense, and they buy him shitty toy from temu. is that rubber toxic? who knows, who cares, look how cheap it is!
yeah, it is like blaming china for a pollution, when that pollution is externality of cheap shit we buy from them. it is our pollution in the end.
that isn't an argument for blaming the end consumer, because that problem is not going to be solved from the bottom, but it is also childish to pretend like we, the consumers, are not complicit.
this is how i see it. do you know how when the orville came out, everyone was "hey, new star trek!"?
now imagine discovery gets the same treatment as orville. you change the names, united federation of planets become interstellar union, warp drive becomes super-duper-engine, you change the shape of the ships little bit.
how many people would look at that and say "hey, new star trek!"? i think not that many. it would be c-grade show on netflix no one would give a fuck about and wouldn't be picked up for second season.
it is one thing if you do some minor stuff that may not be completely in line with the canon, and it is another if you are parasite who just hijacks the name of the franchise. and that's what discovery and abram's movies are.
i got banned from there for saying that discovery is not star trek. it is a clown show ran by a bunch of kids on a power trip and people should stop giving them power by using them.
and even more things would be possible if we one day discover magic. but until that day comes, we treat the things that need a magic to work as impossible.
it is really not. just because some math adds up doesn't mean that the underlying idea makes sense.
let me tell you a joke.
a biologist, a mechanical engineer and a mathematician are observing a house. we know for a fact that at the beginning of the observation the house was empty and there are no hidden exits.
now they watch a person enter the house and - after some time - two people leave. they scratch their heads.
"they reproduced," says the biologist. "oh no, it is a measurement error," says the engineer. "oh come on guys, it is always you two with your absurd explanations," says the mathematician. "you see - it is pretty clear. now, another person will enter, and the house will be empty."
i liked his older videos far more, so quality is definitely subjective. it was one guy's channel about physics with specific vibe, now it is just general channel about everything, indistinguishable from all the other science channels...
oh you strongly disagree? then will you present example of some happy communist society where they got that right, it just works for them and people are trying to immigrate there, because "hey, finally, you see? i told you it can work and i want to spend rest of my life there!"
Therefore stating that communism killed so many people is wrong. The implementation of communism turns out to end up in authoritarian structures like so many revolutions do
right, so communism is good, it is just those pesky people that are in the way... 😂
no, i am explaining what the phrase really means and you are decided to only accept explanation that allows you to get mad.
implied followup question is, who are those 20%? And then everyone is again talking how poor people and immigrants “are just like that”
and understanding the true meaning of the phrase is good antidote for that 🤷♂️ manipulative individuals will always try to manipulate someone, but something isn't propaganda just because someone doesn't understand it.
thank you. i didn't notice that adding the thumbnail changed the link to thumbnail instead of the video. it is now fixed.
