for all the complaining ppl do about online ads i almost never see anyone put the blame on whos actually responsible: google. the vast majority of ads uve ever seen on the internet went thru the ads by google service

all the blatantly pornographic ads on tumblr were provided by google. all the ads for scam mobile games w ai-generated footage that looks absolutely nothing like anything ingame were provided by google. all the ads for social security scams on the weather app that i cant uninstall from my phone were provided by google

in other words, google does advertising for identity thieves and fraudsters in exchange for a cut of the stolen money. it isnt exaggerating to say that google is the linchpin of an entire industry of cybercrime that wouldnt exist if they were expected to moderate the ads they approve like any other advertising service does. billboard companies and tv stations dont get to profit from running ads for scams, why does google get a pass?

if google wanted to they could report these scammers and have them taken down, or at the very least stop putting their scams on every app on ur phone, and the entire internet would be much safer. but why would they do that when theyre raking in so much money from ur grandmas stolen credit cards?

Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs

People in my notes who think I’m repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It

sorry to be brave on the internet but I think food labels should list every single ingredient and that there should be harsher penalties for mislabeling and deceptive labeling

[turtlesandfrogs]

Seconded.

[gwydionmisha]

Also, if they change the Ingredients, they should put in big letters on the front "Now contains peanut flour" or whatever, because yu can literally kill someone by sneaking it into something that's been a safe food for a decade or more.

I still find it pretty funny that in fallout 3 you can get your karma down by just opening Moriarty’s terminal over and over again.

The slavers at paradise falls have heard of me. I’m the guy that opens people’s computers over and over again without asking first.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Butch won’t be my companion. He’s like you’re too intense. You must’ve turned on that computer like 50 times in a row last time.

[what-even-is-thiss]

My forbidden computer touching ways have caught up with me.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The reason I’m doing this in the first place is that a lot of evil karma options in fallout 3 are just inconvenient. Like I could go out of my way to blow up a city or I could not blow up a city and get a much more convenient free house and keep access to their merchants.

So in order to keep getting the full evil karma experience, every time I do something convenient or utilitarian that raises my karma I go back to Moriarty’s Saloon and just open his terminal over and over again.

Thus, my good boy points are eliminated through repeated computer touching and the regulators here are hunting me down for looking at Moriarty’s personal data a hundred times in a row.

[what-even-is-thiss]

What’s really funny about lowering your karma this way is that after you do a major good Karma action and listen to the radio, the radio DJ Three Dog will be like this horrible fucker from vault 101 we all hate him so much you know that guy? He did another fucking thing. He saved a thousand orphans.

a character being a perpetrator does not negate their victimhood and neither does their victimhood negate being a perpetrator. u can accept and reckon w both dimensions in ur analysis

[ilynpilled]

there is nothing morally purifying about suffering or victimhood, it is not something that inculcates “goodness.”

one’s character has no impact on whether they were/are a victim or not, victim status is not something that is only afforded to the palatable.

it also does not = absolution.

ppl cant handle this in cartoons made for teenagers lets not get ahead of ourselves
