I thought Fireball’s reaction to Rudolph’s glowing nose was a little extreme. He’s a magical, flying reindeer who lives with Santa and his elves at the North Pole. Surely, he has seen some really weird sh*t.
But he reacts to Rudolph as if his skull had burst into flames.
“A streaming service only has the second season of a show”
The “rival” streaming service that has the first season of the show is owned by the same corporation so it can double-dip viewers on subscription fees.
What they sometimes mean by “fast paced” is “we are going to have you doing many things that are not in your job description.” Basically, you’ll be doing the jobs of 3-4 people and some of those jobs will pose a significant risk to your health and safety.
It’s like Windows is devolving into really, REALLY early Linux, where a single Control Panel application is broken up into a half dozen separate parts and scattered throughout the interface in a dozen separate sub-sub-sub menus.
You should NOT have to hunt for the “print” button in a freaking word processor.
Culture war issues will never go away until people figure out where the real source of their pain comes from. It comes from the 1 percenters. It’s a class war. It always has been.
The best time to hit someone in a fight is right when they’re taking their shirt off. They can’t see and their arms are stuck in their sleeves. If they’re going to make it easy for you, take advantage of it.
Giving you contradictory orders is standard operating procedure whenever cops need an excuse to abuse or kill you:
Cop1: “Get on the ground!”
Cop2: “Don’t move!”
Cop1: “I SAID GET ON THE GROUND!”
Cop2: “I SAID DON’T F*CKING MOVE!”
But hey, you were being “uncooperative” and that’s what the record will show, even though it’s literally impossible to follow both orders at the same time.
The Internet sucked before ad blockers. In the 1990s, web sites would spawn several ad windows. Sometimes, they would spawn pop-UNDER windows as well, so when you closed your browser, you had a nice big porn window left on your desktop. Advertisers abused the hell out of visitors and if you complained about it, their response was basically, “HA HA! F*CK YOU! HERE’S ANOTHER AD!”
They could have played nice. But once they had a chance to make free money, greed and sh*tty behavior ruled the day. This is how programs like Web Washer were born.
Of course it’s a mystery. An honest discussion about why orphan-crushing machines need to exist would lead to an honest discussion about where your society’s pain really comes from.
And the owner class doesn’t want that discussion to happen. Because it would come out that they don’t pay their fair share of the tax burden, which would keep orphan-crushing machines from existing in the first place.
Back before web browsers had ad-blocking extensions, we had programs like Web Washer. It was a local, ad-blocking proxy program that you ran along side your browser. To use it, you just changed your browser’s network settings to point to Web Washer. And the ads would be filtered before they even reached your browser. It would be no problem to implement this again.
It’s a class war. It always has been. The 1 percenters use their control of the media to keep the poor and middle classes fighting with each other, so that they . . . the rich, can run off with all the f*cking money.
