To put it very bluntly.

You will always make a better impact helping people who need it than trying to hurt people you think deserve it.

How to Disable Ad ID Tracking on iOS and Android, and Why You Should Do It Now

The ad identifier - aka “IDFA” on iOS, or “AAID” on Android - is the key that enables most third-party tracking on mobile devices. Disabling

On Android 

With the release of Android 12, Google began allowing users to delete their ad ID permanently. On devices that have this feature enabled, you can open the Settings app and navigate to Privacy > Ads. Tap “Delete advertising ID,” then tap it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future.

On iOS 

To see which apps you have previously granted access to, go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking. You can set the “Allow apps to Request to Track” switch to the “off” position (the slider is to the left and the background is gray). This will prevent apps from asking to track in the future. If you have granted apps permission to track you in the past, this will prompt you to ask those apps to stop tracking as well. You also have the option to grant or revoke tracking access on a per-app basis.

Apple has its own targeted advertising system, separate from the third-party tracking it enables with IDFA. To disable it, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising. Set the “Personalized Ads” switch to the “off” position to disable Apple’s ad targeting.

Cost of Doing Business in America

As of this morning, I paid the last bit of rent I'll ever be able to afford again, I have 70$ to last the month, no insurance, and dwindling necessary medical supplies. I've been struggling to keep up with the cost of food and insurance that have been changing wildly and flying upwards in costs. I am not the only one. All of this country's money problems are tied to Citizen's United, The Big Beautiful Bill, and Trickle Down Economics.

All of this country's problems are Republican plans for destruction, and destitution at the behest of billionaires for no purpose other than to race to make more money, so they can cause more destruction.

The nation is crumbling, beneath our feet, and your red-hat neighbors are to blame, their leaders are symptoms of the problem.

Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;

Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!

The implication that a corporate entity owns the word "Patagonia" is disgusting and blatantly colonialist.

Second, an outdoor exploring brand not teaming with an environmental activist with a massive global platform is blatantly homophobic/transphobic (conservative people discriminate equally).

Third, the company not demanding money is explicit evidence the lawsuit is not about potential lost revenue, it is purely about the potential negative image of potentially being associated with the queer community.

anyway remember when the US government commissioned a study on dangers of pornography and when the commission returned with a report saying it doesn’t pose a danger and recommending removing restrictions the US government denounced its own study

You can't expect people who benefit from whiteness and institutional racism to know the difference between racist and racism when they believe they have no white privilege. All they know is, when it comes to race in America, they are the victim. It's the performance of fraud.

I looked this up thinking maybe it was because it was worded badly like Florida's law years ago that banned any sex with any animals, thereby making all sex between human beings illegal. But no. No that's not the reason. From the AP:

"Creating a new, wide-ranging anti-bestiality law would untangle the offense from the ban on sodomy in Louisiana’s “crime against nature " statute, prompting some lawmakers to label the measure a sly chess move. “This bill was written because the far left wants to undermine our other laws that protect family and traditional values that the people of Louisiana hold dear,” said Sen. Ryan Gatti, a Republican who was one of 10 senators to vote against the bill. “That was our concern, that it most likely will be used as a Trojan horse to delete the sodomy law,” he said.

Or that's what they claim anyway. So it would be inappropriate to call them senators who voted in favor of raping dogs or something. Or to give them a sobriquet like "The Rover-Raping Ring." Definitely should not do that. No, see, their problem is with consenting human adults having sex with each other, and to keep that illegal, these particular senators just have to allow the rape of beloved family pets. Totally understandable priorities.

When the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising happened, the Polish resistance didn't join or assist, they waited for uprising to be crushed and the ghetto to be "liquidated" because their ideal Poland didn't have Jews. When the Warsaw Uprising happened, the Soviets waited for the uprising to be crushed by the Nazis because they had no room for any organised Polish national identity in their Communist utopia.

When the concentration camps were liberated (which to be absolutely clear was a side effect of a European war, nobody on any continent waged war to end the holocaust except for Jewish Partizans), and survivors attempted to return home they were met with pogroms because the neighbours who enthusiastically sold them out to the Nazis and packed them into cattle cars didn't expect to see any of them back and were hostile to the reality.

Antisemitic violence faded through the establishment by holocaust survivors of Jewish advocacy organisations and concerted efforts lobbying politicians and having legal protections passed by elected representatives.

So maybe support the organisations that were established by your radical forebears that made these legal changes happen... And don't trust a link that suggests that not voting in preference for accelerationist violence is a real strategy.

How did the supreme courts justices get in that got rid of the interment camps?

They were appointed by elected officials who were voted in.

What could have ended slavery? Voting. What could have prevented the holocaust? Voting. However, demagogues that liked to convince people not to vote kind of both kept slavery ongoing, as well as the holocaust.

Why did the south revolt? Because a voted in president made them think they would lose their slaves.

OP's arguments are bad and they should feel bad.

We have a very unserious press. This #Jan6 narrative is so pathetic. A toddler could punch holes in the plot.

Apparently Orange Hitler still has the support of the Republican Crime Syndicate. Massie pushed hard for the release of the Epstein Files and Republicans rallied to support their orange Dementia addled god in response.
