i am so violently sick of advertising. its everywhere it creeps into every inch of reality that it physically can theres no escape from how invasive it is. cant even rickroll people anymore because theyll just get a 30 second advert for car insurance
firefox isnt going to save you from billboards radio advertising loud promotions blared over the supermarket speakers posters slapped over every streetlight every flier shoved in your mailbox or every cafe that uses spotify for their music and has an ad for its premium service playing every other track.
adblocks are nice but they dont fix the wider issue which is the pervasiveness of advertising
if i see another person on this post talk like im a sad oblivious fool for not knowing of the joys of firefox and adblock im going to need them to step outside of the house for once and observe the the world around them and how advertising has infected everything it feasibly can. if you think youtube ads are the sole issue here then i would recommend leaving the house.
Fun fact! Having a job every day is actually a fairly new thing.
In olden times, people had daily chores and other things to do but their workload/ daily working hours was actually much lower than it is today. Even in farming communities.
The concept of working super hard every day actually comes from capitalism, which in turn comes from Puritanical ideology.
The Puritans believed in salvation through work and in no play.
Early capitalists adopted this ideology because it meant higher productivity and therefore more money if their factories were running near constantly.
The idea of needing to be continuously productive in order to be useful/ allowed things like food and shelter, is actually quite an insidious ideal that is deeply rooted in the American culture.
4 day work weeks have actually proven to be more productive than the 5 day week. But corporations won’t adopt it willingly because it means less of a stranglehold on their workers.
people are so annoying about strikes like they’ll say they support the workers and then complain about how it’s inconveniencing them. please explain to me, in your own words, what you think a strike is and how it’s effective, I’d love to know
If I’m out / don’t have access to a charger and my phone dips below 25% I have to treat it like five nights at freddy I need to conserve this shif or im getting shoved into a murder fursuit
