Giving a whole new meaning to "getting screwed"

I wonder if the people putting those "live" chat nag boxes (with a shitty chatbot) on their online shops, realize that they immediately lose me as a customer the moment something bleeps in my face

i like knowing about laws that let me fuck over authority figures and corporations

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: youtube.com/watch?v=hfPYeKdIto (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! :boosts_ok_gay:

In more amusing news, yesterday a bunch of tractors blocked a supermarket's distribution center, and in response the supermarket blocked the tractors with a truck

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

"recognizing trans people diminishes women" is the same shit as "recognizing LGBT marriages diminishes straight marriages" and hearing it isn't any more convincing this time. Just trying to stoke a fake-ass rivalry between people bigots are terrified of facing as a united front

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.
