This needs to be seen by the whole world imo

Until we as a society agree to stop paying them and let them experience true losses, they will never return to pleasing the customer.

If y’all aren’t already aware the first test date for Consumer Power is on Feb 28th. Don’t buy ANYTHING on that date. Yeah, it’s brief, it will probably be a blip, but this is like a test of the emergency broadcast system. If we can get say 2% of people to do that, then watch closely for reactions, it will help us spread the word for the 2nd test. Then the 3rd. It’s only through this grassroots organization that we can accomplish anything.

I had a friend tell me that they’d already seen organizations trying to make it their idea and honestly, I’m not at all concerned about who is putting their brand on it. The POINT here is that we need to start exercising our muscles to make this a real tool for change. Stop focusing on that message and start embracing the larger goal here. Spread the word. RESIST.

‘Not sucking’

Only had dial-up so insert youvegotmail but then got introduced to bbs and freaked out when I realized I was actually typing to a real person who would gasp! respond.

Not long after I entered the brave new world of irc and the rest was history. Internet=RabbitHole 4ever!

This is why I use freetube.

Um, I’m gonna reveal my age here and say that it’s a crime the old Dragonlance fantasy series was never made into a movie. It’s perfect.

Pretty easy conclusion to reach since… we all are.

When one server goes down, it’s taken out back, shot, and replaced on the line.

And then Skynet remembers…

I think the important distinction would be ‘file’ or ‘record’. Passwords aren’t really a file in a database iirc and records in a database have a storage limit

This is diabolical. I approve.

The normal behavior of corporations IS bad. By definition.

This for real. Stop buying shit.

Moved out to the country, gardened, raised animals, breathed clean air and listened to the wind.

I find peace in learning and doing things well that, even if the system disintegrates, need to be done to move forward.

This ignorance of history is why we’re destined for a repeat lmao

Oh wait…

It comes down to the number of mouths that have to fed at the end of the day. Individuals producing news stories appear ‘free’ for the masses because they have alternative ways of earning, such as monetization on a large platform.

News agencies, however, are in a strange place these days. They used to be private and used to have a default subscription fee. You paid for the paper or you read one that someone left behind somewhere. Nobody’s buying papers anymore and they’ve had to move online. In addition they’ve been purchased by giant conglomerates or billionaires. It’s no longer a matter of making sure their employees are fed by producing a great product… the billionaires and CEO’s just want money. Since everyone’s ad-blocking these days they charge subscriptions and leverage tech to deny their product to those who don’t pay.

There will always be alternative news sources, and god knows I prefer them to 18 tv stations in the same city using the exact same propagandized scripts. You just have to put in the effort to look for them. That’s the fee you’re paying. Time.

Literally on the heels of the revelation that China is spying on all chats and phone calls, these clowns still think back doors are safe in any way.

I swear, humanity is simply failing the IQ test here.

Was in Spain on a Spanish club field trip. I forget what I did as it was years ago but I wanted to express how embarrassed I was about something.

Used the word ‘embarrasada’.

Hilarity ensued.

Edit: Oh look! Other people in this thread did the same thing lol. I feel so much better.

Um lessee… Mary Sue twice, Miranda, Jack and Ashley once each. Next up is Garrus, and yes, I know. Tali is on that list xD She’s just my frennnnn

You?

The Mass Effect Trilogy. Just can’t stop playing that game haha
