i used to think this as well (i have never used any facebook apps), but last night something happened that made me question it.

My wife and i were going through a chipotlane that was right next to a Popeye’s. As we were waiting i looked over to popeyes and saw some posters for their new pickle chicken stuff and asked my wife “the fuck is a pickle ‘glaze’?”

she said “i have no idea but i kinda want some fried pickles now.”

literally a few seconds later she opens instagram on her phone and is shown a video of a person making pickle brined chicken.

yes yes it could be a coincidence, but i am a lot less certain of that now.

The flaw in the analogy is that it assumes that those effects are limited to some companies

no it doesn’t.

it’s an analogy; the author is drawing parallels between them. Obviously Tobacco companies were not “defeated” but they were regulated to hell, and I’m sure the author would say that’s what we need to do with social media too.

why would we want to keep fossil fuels alive?

the difference is HP is the actual manufacturer who sets MSRP. I don’t think Kohls manufactures anything, they are just a retailer.

also cities should have public transit anyway. what a massive waste of energy it is to fly people hundreds of feet UP before then even go anywhere.

so nothing to do with being an EV, an import, or anything like that as most people would assume.

“we have a concept of a plan”

i haven’t programmed since college 15 years ago and even i know that 0 == false for non bool variables. what kind of professional programmers wouldn’t know that?

I’ve had it with these mother fucking snakes digitizing these mother fucking planes!

there is no “the” answer but it can be part of an answer.

eh they try to be political they just suck at it.

If its not more blatant ways to display ads…

is it more blatant than television has ever been? Like it or not, lots of people want free shit even if it’s injected with ads.

It doesn’t matter, strict enforcement is not the point. we’re talking about reducing “crap data” which is data people don’t care about long-term. If you care enough about the data to copy it manually more power to you. If you don’t care that much, you’ll let it get purged, whch is the goal.

charge more to customers for long term data storage. allow short-term for free.
