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?

Squidward clocking out of the Krusty Krab and heading to the nearest gay after hours event 

[bpdcassidy-archived-deactivated]

Come on, now, op. We all know squidward doesn’t go to the club.

He’s one of those “I’m not like other gays” gays who goes home to a bottle of wine and his obscure 50s vaudeville records, and then mopes because he can never find a boyfriend.

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

it's disability pride month, so we want to talk about some uncomfortable/hard to swallow things related to disability.

first up: let's talk a little about fakeclaiming.

a lot of folks will saying things like "fakeclaiming is harmful because it often targets folks who aren't actually faking." and while it is true that fakeclaiming is commonly directed at actual disabled folks, the reality is that that isn't the only issue. the reality is that fakers aren't the reason ableism exists.

general folks don't refuse to give you (generic you, could be anybody) the accommodations and support you need and deserve because someone else is faking. medical gaslighting doesn't happen because someone else is faking. access to needed care, support, and aids isn't lacking because "it's all being taken by fakers" or because access is restricted due to fakers.

"but doctors have denied me care because somebody else was faking!" no, doctors have denied you care because they didn't want to give you the care you needed. chances are there wasn't somebody else faking, it's an excuse to try and justify medical neglect. "but this aid needs to be hard to access because otherwise fakers would take them all!" if all aids (mobility aids, AAC, ect.) were freely available to everybody, most folks still wouldn't use them. why? these things are inconvenient as hell. in a perfectly accessible world, these things would still be much less convenient than not using them if you didn't actually benefit from them.

the reality is that faking isn't actually an issue, it's an excuse for ableism rather than a cause of ableism. and the disability community isn't stronger for constant villainization of BIID and factitious disorder.

australian sour patch kids have gluten in them i am truly at my fucking limit im crashing out im waging war against wheat idgaf anymore

[amvs]

oh is that one of those things where ableist companies put in traces of common allergens so they can just avoid the cost of making it safe

[deadsetagainst]

WHAT

[amvs]

Why Manufacturers Are Intentionally Adding Allergens to Their Foods

A trend we predicted in 2016 continues.

US based but it’s similar reasons in other countries. and of course many companies have international locations. idk if that’s why it’s happening with sour patch kids but this is a thing

[rosetintmyworld84]

I cannot even explain how ANGRY I am at this.

My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

At the time, Kellogg’s notified Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) about the impending change and left it to them to warn the allergic community. In this case, Pearson’s didn’t even bother as near as we can tell."

[gothiccharmschool]

I wonder if that’s part of the reason behind my seeing an upswing in products adding corn starch or corn flour to things that didn’t have those before? <- rhetorical question, because I’m certain that’s what’s going on.

I love it when a cartoon villain has a Really, Really Big Guy henchman who's very obviously not human, but the media in question otherwise lacks any fantastical elements which would account for whatever their deal is. Like, what's this guy's Resident Evil ass doing here?

The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.

[melyzard]

Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?

I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.

And often, they are assholes, too.
