Such a wasteful, broken system
That’s 90% of online shopping there. It’s hard to hear, but we as costumers are part of the problem. Stop buying so much shit online. Go to a brick and mortar shop. Touch it, feel it, try those pants.
Online shopping is a fucking waste and every day we have dozens of shipping companies coming to the city with their vans to drive through each street bringing small packages to every apartment. Polluting, blocking streets, increasing traffic. Just because we are too lazy to go to a shop and buy it in person.
We probably don’t even need it. And yes, I know there’s not a shop next to me that sells X or Y. Do you know why? Because we’ve been killing small brick and mortar shops for 20 years with our online shopping. We created this problem and we have to fix it. Fuck the “broken, wasteful system” and support your local shop.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 2 months ago:
The second best time to fix this was 4 years ago, when the Capitol was attacked to try to overturn a democratic election. But the USA had a big problem: nothing was done. A criminal staged a coup and failed. And nothing was done. He was allowed to go free, run for president and now he is charge. The USA already failed years ago and now is just reaping what it allowed fascism to sow.

In my opinion it is bit about swearing, and (not) seeing it, it is about censorship. Some big sites censor content that contains words that are considered bad by advertisers, these are not only swear words but also words like die, suicide, porn… This has changed the way some people communicate, with people using euphemisms or censoring words in images themselves: people censoring themselves before the big internet site censors them.
As you wisely said: “Express yourself however you want”. The original author of the text in this post used a swear word and later it was censored by someone reposting it in social media to avoid upsetting the censorship machine or whatever website it was. I find this unacceptable.
I fully support using a rich vocabulary and not using swear words, being polite. There are many reasons to do this: respect for others, improving ones communication skills, practising formal writing… but giving in to censorship imposed by social media websites should NEVER be one. Fuck censorship. It is unacceptable to allow big tech companies to shape the way we speak with their censorship.
Express yourself however you want, if the website you’re in doesn’t allow you to do it don’t give in to censorship, give up that website and look for a place where you can express yourself.

- Comment on Anon gives a piracy history lesson 4 months ago:
With a bit of effort you can stream any movie directly to your TV for a few moneys a month (or free, but paying for the essential bits removes the jankiness)
Something I learned back in the day: “Never pay for warez”. Pirate all you want, the moment you are paying, pay the creator of the product you’re interested in, not someone who pirated it and wants to profit from distributing it without a licence.
