I pay for YouTube because I hate ads and I use the music service heavily… I also pay (A LOT) for a MotoGP subscription, but that’s sports, and unless I’m awake when there’s a race being pirate streamed I’d be sol.

For everything else, i sail the salty seas

I literally just got my senior citizen dad off Skype and over to WhatsApp like 2 years ago… Ain’t no way I can get him over to signal

so i guess i’m going to hold on the the pixel 8 for as long as i can then…

You’re not a dick for getting someone’s pronouns wrong… You’re a dick if you intentionally and continuously misgender them on purpose.

i don’t know what happened to us as a society… we seem to have lost all semblance of media literacy.

it feels like in the 90’s we were all very ad-aware, and actively opposed the idea of ‘selling out’… then the rolling stones sold the rights to Start Me Up to windows and we’ve been in a race to the bottom ever since. why are we talking about ‘monetizing your hobbies’.

what happened to shows like Media Television, magazines like AdBusters? does nobody remember reading Naomi Klein’s ‘No Logo’??

Freshly elected Canadian prime minister Mark Carney spend three minutes playing with/unfolding a paper clip while giving his first press conference last week… Sooooo…

I wouldn’t race with it… And I’m sure it would test at a lower octane level, but it will still run an engine
