Not to mention police corruption. Every other true crime episode is about how their first victim walked into a police station with two knives still lodged inside them and the police assuming they’re a junkie or something. They literally take people feeding the homeless or picking still sealed food out of grocery store dumpsters more seriously than murders it seems.
And god forbid you point out the fact that this attitude among consumers is exactly the reason these companies are brazen enough to pull this shit. People don’t want to hear how their attitudes around instant gratification and focus on convenience over absolutely all else just might have consequences.
All of you using adblockers are pathetic. You’ll willingly deprive companies of their revenue just because you can’t be bothered to see a few ads? It’s not like ads are harmful or anything!
…hang on I think porn just started playing on my computer I have to find where the popup is and close it… Right after I close this other popup that says I’ve won 69 trillion dollars, and this one for dick pills, and this one for free vbucks, and that one saying I have 420 viruses on my PC, and this one looks like it’s trying to download ransomware, and… Damn my battery just died from all the extra processing power those popups needed. Uh but adblock is still evil though, don’t forget that.
I’ve noticed that Lemmy has been shedding a lot of the Reddit style toxicity that was brought here from the influx. Presumably that has something to do with the terminally on Reddit people leaving.
Absolutely right. In fact, it should be illegal to see a product for sale and not immediately buy it. How dare you see a helpless corporation in need of money, freezing in the streets, and not immediately empty your wallet in exchange for trinkets that they so lovingly engineered to break in a set amount of time? You monster!
It really doesn’t bother me tbh. The fediverse isn’t for everyone and I’d rather people just use whatever platform they prefer than endlessly complaining on Lemmy when it’s clearly simply not for them. And that’s okay, use whatever platform suits you.
