Yeah… I know. I adblock everything, I would never see it to begin with lol, unless it’s somewhere public and unavoidable. But I’m not really bothered about buying cookies from some small business. So long as capitalism exists (and I’m eager for it to not exist, but for now it does), I have to eat and regular people need to earn money.
You can’t exist in a solely ideological paradigm. You have to be pragmatic while working towards bending the world towards something better.
Not necessarily, and even if so, there are so many more important things to be angry about
[citation needed], don’t forget to include the Civil War in the US’s figures. Let’s also go “per capita” to make it fair.
It wasn’t “about a fact”, it was about your framing of the fact. “Yeah China did this 30 fucking years ago while America has never stopped doing this over the last 30 years, these two entities are equivalent!” It’s less bad when white people do it, right?
I’m not pro-CCP for the record. I’m just realistic about my criticisms, like their restrictive social measures. There is zero doubt they are vastly less of an international menace than the United States.
You had to reach back to 1995.
I can reach back to last week.
The point stands, sorry Sinophobe.
You never thought the country which bombs other countries and kidnaps their presidents would become more restrictive/authoritarian than the one which generally doesn’t?
Seems pretty predictable to me idk. People are so steeped in American exceptionalism mythology.
THEY’RE COOKIES FFS
Yes, we should give no one an opportunity to change or learn from their mistakes. We must focus on projecting our own moral purity and superiority above all else, for there is no higher pursuit. Maybe we could come up with some phrases in Latin or something even.
It’s a small snack company stranger, not fuckin Palantir. I reflexively hate advertisements too, but given that I am occasionally forced to overhear them or god forbid witness them with my own eyes, I would take something human over something slop-generated any day.
…commodified cannabis is garbage and distillate is hotdog water, though
We can burn the hypothetical companies which obstruct our heavens.
I just tried to sign up for Peertube because this comment reminded me
The only site with any videos on it (Fediverse.TV) doesn’t allow signups. Neither does the default instance (Peertube.TV).
Tragically, Web3 cryptoshit MAHA platform “Odyssey” was much more functional when I tried to use it, before realizing what kind of content dominated there.
EDIT: Finally found one that let me create an account:
Why create an account?
As you’ve probably noticed, creating an account is not necessary to watch videos on Tube Free.
However, creating an account on Tube Free will allow you to:
- Comment on videos
- Subscribe to channels and receive notifications of new videos
- Have access to your watch history
…So even with an account, I can’t upload videos?
Right? Let them see what I think and let them know they should be afraid. Thoughts aren’t illegal… yet.
It literally has an AI function lmao
The environmental search engine has an environment-killing function that no one needs. They also partner with Google and Microsoft, both avid environment-murderers.
But yeah sure bro, plant a few trees, that’ll offset everything I’m sure.
And their search results are powered by Bing, so it won’t be any better than DDG anyway.
Jesus should we go back to having to type in the specific web address to find everything !?
Yes, you should inconvenience yourself with the weighty first-world burden of having to press a few buttons for access to the full library of mankind’s knowledge in order to avoid using a product which is inherently destructive to the one and only planet currently available for our species to inhabit.
Hope that helps. Fuck peace, go in love, including the love of a mother bear to destroy what threatens those she loves.
Yeah I’m not a big fan of DDG either… it’s powered by Bing so hardly surprising it isn’t great. And Microsoft isn’t any less evil than Google.
Presearch is the best I’ve found - just a nice, basic search - but it’s a little slow and has some cryptoshit background so I’m open to alternatives. Ecosia is greenwashing bullshit afaik.
It’s a billionaire. I begrudge it for its mere existence.
Ooh thank you… hope I remember that trick lol
This seems like a wonderful time to share this wonderful song

oh fuck you
and your ai
fuck you elon, fuck you sam,
fuck you sundar pichai
you said the chance
that we all die is
around 1 in 5 – was that hype?
or are you really
generating genocide?
Both parties are the same when it comes to committing genocide in Palestine, so with that said, I don’t really care what their domestic policies are. “Do you want to vote for the slightly kinder Hitler or the meaner Hitler? Look at you, now it’s your fault that meaner-Hitler got elected!”
Yet
I’m going to stare into the abyss until it blinks first
