one of the best feelings is being caught off guard by someone's kindness towards you, especially when you're having a bad day, and you can't stop thinking about it for the next two weeks

The Chrome browser exists to show you ads and track where you go so that Google can show you more ads. Please stop using Chrome. Firefox is open source, and while Mozilla is not perfect, it isn’t actively fucking evil the way Google is. It has a bazillion plugins, including various (FREE!) ad block plugins (I recommend uBlock Origins, which will even block YouTube ads – you can watch videos without interruptions again!). It will also function very effectively with a lot more tabs open than Chrome. I’ve got around 800 tabs open right now (not loaded, of course, except for maybe 2 dozen; it’s been a heavy browsing day), and my wife has between 2k and 3k at any time.

We are in the New Browser Wars. This time there’s a helluva lot of money up for grabs, because a lot of it is about running those ads. Monopolies are bad for consumers.

Just go download Firefox.

Firefox plugins I 100% recommend if you don’t want to be tracked (and want to cost corporations money)

AdNauseam is an adblocker that generates false clicks on the ads it blocks, which costs the corporations that pay for them money.

Privacy Possum messes with the tracking data collected about you, rendering it essentially useless

TrackMeNot generates random search terms across sites, meaning that any data collected about things you actually search is buried in a sea of random bullshit. Makes it very hard for people to figure out what you’re actually doing. You can block terms in the options, which means it won’t search for anything incriminating on your behalf (I think the word bomb is blocked by default)

WhatCampaign replaces tracking analytics used in website code with data that can’t be used to track you. I’m pretty sure it replaces it with “fuck off” by default.

I’m not adding links because tumblr will not show this up if I do, but you can search these on the Firefox addons site and they’ll come up.

Incredible colorised footage from 1929 of construction workers on the Chrysler Building in New York.

I’m just impressed that it has audio

If you wanted solid, definitive proof that the past did, in fact, happen, here it is.

[thatorigamiguy-deactivated20220]

I’m surprised the structure was able to support the weight of every set of BRASS FUCKING BALLS on all of those construction workers. Pre-safety gear/OCEA was wilding man.

[that-catholic-shinobi]

The Chrysler Building had zero fatalities during construction. But the osha violations hurt my soul

[niktav]

i like how casually they all talk about falling like it’s an inconvenience rather than a deadly situation

[prismatic-bell]

Friendly note that if you listen, you can hear them refer to themselves as “local 60.”

These are union men.

[221cbakerstreet]

so construction workers back then just straight up dressed like they were going to the kentucky derby huh

his name was Josh Wilkerson and it’s important to point out that he died while taking Reli-On, the common “Walmart Insulin” you see people constantly pushing as a cheaper alternative.

so if you ever see people suggesting this, or god forbid you feel like doing it yourself, i want you to look up this story and remember Josh Wilkerson, and realize that the solution HAS to be bigger and more systemic than that

I was stopped by a cop hiding in a dark corner of the predominantly white neighborhood my dad just HAD to live in, bc I did a California roll. I was so confused. Im from Texas idk what that is. He explained and I was confused bc I def stopped and looked around. He proceeded to ask if the BMW I was driving was mine...then let me go. If you black in a "nice" car it's questionable asf. Theyll ask where you work too bc how can you afford "nice things". I hate it here.

by the way, if y’all like being thrifty with food, I wholeheartedly suggest going and buying a turkey right around now. Grocery stores are at the peak of their desperation to get rid of leftover Thanksgiving stock, and turkeys are a relatively undesirable product for 99% of the year. They don’t want to throw these things away and they’re settling for a BARE minimum profit. My local grocery store was offering up a couple different brands for anywhere from sixty cents to two dollars a pound.

A turkey can go straight into your freezer and stay there for up to a year as long as you get it in before its expiration date, and it’s a lot of food that’s not as difficult to prepare as your complaining father has made you believe on literally every Thanksgiving of your childhood.

Signed, a woman living paycheck to paycheck who just bought ten pounds of meat for eight dollars.
