I've discovered that you can in fact de-acclimatize yourself to advertising, largely from removing exposure fairly consistently over a long period of time.
The problem with that is the intense sense of alienation and distaste you get when exposed (for whatever reason) again.
Curating your own sensory inputs at the cost of being naturalized to the consensus human experience. Yikes.

Here's a good video about the technology behind trackless dark rides in theme parks and how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfPYeKdItoU (English subtitles are available)
But perhaps more interestingly, it has a dedicated segment about accessibility, and how they've used the trackless tech to improve it!

Apparently cops have now graduated directly to "shooting at tractors" - no people seem to have been hit, clops claim they were "warning shots", video clearly shows otherwise
This is definitely all going very well

Hello, @EU_Commission…
EC: Is something troubling you ?
Me: Are you a bot?
EC: Would you prefer if I weren't a bot ?
Me: Yes.
EC: I see.
Me: So…?
EC: Do you feel strongly about discussing such things ?
Me: I do.
EC: You say you do ?
Me: Yes.
EC: I understand.
Me: And about my question?
EC: Your question ?
Me: Yes… are you a bot?
EC: What if I were a bot?
Me: Then you should be labelled as such.
EC: We were discussing you -- not me.
Me: *sigh*
EC: But your question.

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
