@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev I pick option C: finally bite the fucking bullet and actually fix foundational security issues in modern systems in a way that *doesn't* boil down to "taking agency away from users"

@cadxdr but also abolish the way the education system operates because it’s a stress/trauma generator

elevator music but for like, systems maintenance

In the US, companies are under no obligation to honor any request that they stop sending you physical mail. Send them as many requests in as varied a format as you like; they can ignore each and every one.

EXCEPT. If you say "please stop, this mailing made me horny", they are required by federal law to immediately block your address. It doesn't have to be honest or sincere; just saying "your ad turned me on, and I don't like it" is enough. 🌈⭐️

@schratze Same thing for all the pseudo-romance filler in what could've otherwise been good fictional shows, especially in the US. Lots of abusive behaviour and people unable (and unwilling) to deal with jealousy, always the same tired "oh no two people like the same other person" trope, and never any capability to deal with it like an adult. And often even an explicit "yes I know that was shitty of me, but I loved you, what can I say"

I kind of don't like this thing that happens in many sitcoms where characters are complete assholes to each other and prank each other and shout at each other 90% of the time and then they shoehorn in stone heartfelt moments where they get all lovey dovey with each other and you're supposed to get the impression that actually, they really loved each other all this time

Lowkey normalizes abusive relationships

"The behavior of the police at Robb Elementary is only shocking if you are committed to a mythic notion of what policing entails. The “thin blue line” does not separate society from chaos. It instead separates those empowered by the state to uphold racial capitalism with violence... In the face of centuries of evidence exposing what the work of policing actually entails - and does not entail - the true ideologues are those committed to policing as a solution."

@amolith@mk.nixnet.social boost to scare a... well, anyone really

sometimes someone tells me they dont have an adblocker and that baffles me because the internet is an absolute hellscape without one

I cant believe some people go to work and dont feel like they are being forcibly removed from their life for 8+ hours

@Bosbesje@mastodon.nl Nee hoor, bovenste gat is voldoende om dat te voorkomen :) En met 3 gaten maakt het ding een verschrikkelijk slurpend geluid, en staat het waterniveau veel te laag...

@efi @welshpixie I'm inferring from the specific typo - "if all of your devices are compatibility" is a type of error that I've mainly seen from India-outsourced support workers. It's possible that it also occurs elsewhere, though, and I just don't know about it :)
