Wojak is more than a face template.

More like America - Fuck you for living here, bruh. Deal with it.

Well, no, because it was designed just to piss all of us off in the past two decades.

Shopping at Wal-Mart for example for clothes is one of the most underwhelming experiences I ever get. They did away with Fruit of the Loom shorts and even their cotton-branded shorts with AthleticWorks. Now there’s too many jersey sports like shorts and that’s all that they ever have. On top of that, all that they got for clothes is corporate branded shit and I don’t want to be a walking billboard for corporate. As well as those shirts with dumb sayings on them to try and appeal with people.

Shopping online is obviously better.

I’m only one person. I cannot fix all of these problems because these problems have to be fixed by a collaborative effort through a unified group to make anything we want work. I did what I thought I could by voting, I did what I could by spreading the message with my own voice about the things I know with what I saw going south in this country. But again, I can’t fix everything.

So, I can’t worry about things I have no power in fixing, as much as I’d like.

Tried doing an area search, only got a form for my address to notify me when service is available.

Because they are the shitty kind. Here is what I do not get, I have seen CenturyLink and Mediacom vans come in my area. I assume it is to service people’s connections or other things. If my apartment management tells me that VisionSystems is all that they can offer, why do I see vans from other ISPs come here?

And Mediacom isnt too far from us either.

Mediacom and CenturyLink claim to not service my building though so something is not adding up.

I watch maybe 2-10 videos a day. Lengths between 2 minutes to a couple videos clocking an hour. I do not watch anything beyond 1 and a half hours unless it is a movie and that video is interesting enough.

I sometimes have audio streaming for background noise when sleeping but audio streaming is practically chump change so it is no factor.

Game downloading averages 100MB to 4GB at most with bigger games rarely ever being a thing.

Des Moines Iowa.

Yes I know the options are terrible and I am aware if alternative ISPs but my apartment management only offers just one ISP. It is not Verizon or any other big name, just some not so well known company with a site design from the 90s in every bad way.

It’ll be the mail service for the alt-right, I’d imagine.

ProtonMail is enough for me.

Shove that stupid ‘X’ up your ass, Musk.

Awesome.

The day FireFox and UBlock Origin stop working with eachother completely. Might be the day I just uninstall all of my browsers and use my PC more personally than before.

Exactly, it’s absolutely absurd.

Think we ought to just start harassing marketers and anyone involved with advertising.

Yes and No.

People don’t want to deal with the heavy costs and load of hosting their own content. That’s unfortunately the sacrifice. Google is big enough to house it all, whereas, we’d probably see content from a creator last for a finite amount of time before they end up having to close up shop or beg for donations.

Good joke, YouTube.

Ah yes, but what about the violation to our time where we’ve had to sit through 30 second ~ 2 minute ads of over-dramatized ways for shitty companies to get us to buy shit we don’t want and subscribe to services we don’t need? What about those violations and those violations happen more frequently than us blocking your ads? The hell with you.

I think this comment should be pinned honestly.

VPNs are not required. Instead of egressing on your ISPs network, you’re egressing on someone else’s network. It’s kinda like paying for a second ISP so you can egress your ISP to go encrypted to your other ISP. What does it accomplish other than putting you in another law jurisdiction?

I…what?

How am I paying for another person’s ISP when I’m mooching off of their network to pirate from?

Okay, so the two examples you’ve provided about those VPN services, have nothing to do at all about piracy. One is about cyberstalking and the other was about a child abuse investigation. Those are arguably more serious than piracy in comparison.

At that point do you think you’ll get some form of compensation from the VPN provider?

The fuck are you on?

The cons would outweigh the pros.

We would be back to the 2000s where the world was cautiously allied with the U.S during the Bush years. Like, the world depends on the U.S for a lot of things and to lose it’s support, ally and everything to dictatorship would be detrimental. Trump is orchestrating a U.S where he thinks everyone should bow to the country, under his rule. It’s not about making America Great Again, it’s about making Trump Great Again.

You first.
