God I wish this were a service I could actually offer to people. Iād do it for a hot meal and some laughs, I donāt even need money to start trouble.
Iāve been having a lot of feelings about the downfall of quality lately.
I ordered a pair of Dickies pants because pants are hard and workwear is usually reliable. When they arrived they were the scratchiest, most papery materialāI canāt actually call it fabric in good faithāand fit a full three sizes too small. A week later I found the same pair in a thrift store, dated 2017. These are actual pants. They fit, theyāre not made of asbestos. Theyāre only separated by time.
Thereās no wood used in interior design unless itās a custom build. I have a set of wealthy relatives who live in a condo. The downpayment for it was likely more money than I will see in my lifetime. The floors and the cabinets are all still laminate. I know I will never see real wood in a building constructed after 2000. Every āapartment hackā I see online has this very conspicuous, flat appearance because of all the paint and contact paper required to make these builds look personal in any way. The only natural materials are in the furnishings.
Iāve been harping on this for years, but everything is shit, nothing is designed to work, and āgrowthā and āprofitā are just euphemisms for cutting corners until things are unworkable.
everything is more expensive, and everything is getting shittier.
i love when people get up in arms about kink as like a ānew perverted phenomenonā bc of their boogeyman obsession with porn. brother gay people have been slapping each other and pretending to be dogs while we fuck since the dawn of time. youāre only just finding out now bc your hole is largely unremarkable and your manner unbecoming

āIn the instance an employer makes an illegal request for a photograph as part of a job application, you may submit a complaint to the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.ā Successful violation fee collections are paid partially to the one who suffered the violation, which in many cases exceeds a year of work at these shit jobs. Thereās only two weak points to a corporation, and those are in the budget and in the supply chain. Hit them where it hurts.
Fucking word.

If there was a way to run SUPER MEGA AD BLOCKER on this website I fucking would

Freeloader Cominā through!
We didnāt start this war internet users have with ads - We might have moaned about banner ads, but it was only when they started making noises when we might be listening to music or a podcast or whatever, causing two sound sorces at once, that we started trying to block ads universally rather than just a specific type of ad (pop ups).
And since then ads have gotten worse - Actual malware rather than merely breaking one of the fundamental sins of web design - though shalt not autoplay anything with sound. And the more aggressive a website is with āplease turn off adblockā the less I trust it to bother to vet ads and advertisers to make sure theyāre not installing malware.
Not to mention that the idea that avoiding ads is āfreeloadingā is hilariously backward. Advertisement is a transaction between the platform and the advertiser, the user has no obligation to provide the views/clicks the platform has promised. Using an adblocker isnāt freeloading in the same way that leaving the room to get a snack during a commercial break isnāt cheating the tv network.
Ok yāall, I work as a web developer and Iām here to tell you that you are 100% right and that itās shit. SO Iām going to tell you how to get around websites that block you from using their website if youāre using an adblocker.Ā
Every website uses a language called JavaScript; long story short itās a website language that allows developers to do the crazy shit you see on websites. Now the easiest thing to do is to disable JavaScript to stop them from knowing you have an adblocker:
Oh no! Iām blocked from viewing the website. It would be a terrible shame if I were able to right click and select theĀ āinspectā feature
Click the three dots in the top right and open theĀ āSettingsā Menu
And then scrolled down toĀ āDebuggerā and checked theĀ āDisable Javascript Optionā
hmmmā¦ thereās probably an INFINITELY more humane way to do thisā¦
i get that theyāre not killing them and they end up fine, but imagine the trauma of you, a mammal, going through a long ass tube, not knowing whatās going to happen to you, and you canāt breathe. š¤·āāļø
They get misted with water throughout the thing, and it results in fewer injuries than the āladderā method. Also, itās a fish. It never knows whatās going to happen to it at any point in time throughout its life.
Also, I, a mammal, have paid 80 bucks to get into a water park to get the opportunity to feel like that fish, and that motherfucker gets in for free every day is fish day at the fish waterpark
well the MOST humane thing would be to not build dams blocking salmon migration routes, nor create a society where there are only resources allocated to solving the problem at all because blocking the salmon endangers the profits of a segment of the food industry.Ā
Buuuut since weāre past that already, here are a couple of additional thoughts:
1 this IS the more humane alternative, which was invented to lower injury and death rates associated with previous techniques. When a better alternative is revealed it will probably replace this one. But this one is a pretty huge improvement over the other methods, one of which killed off something like 80% of the fish involved.
A study of the above fish tube was conducted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratories in 2017 on the Columbia River and showed a much higher success rate. In that study, only one fish died (ādue to a human error during the system setupā) and only 3 percent had signs of injury. So. The next best improvement might have to beĀ āremove damā
2 they are on their way to die. That is where we are helping them get to. Thatās the end goal of the salmonās migration. They on their way to mutate, start rotting alive, have an orgy, and die. Thatās where the tube is taking them.
So like, itās not going to be the weirdest thing they experience this month, is what iām saying.Ā
