WWJS - Who would Jesus shoot?

Everyone loves free speech, until they don’t.

That was a great episode of Search Engine. As soon as I heard the part about him doing ketamine it clicked into place. Don’t do drugs kids!

Personally, I don’t mind when ads are reasonable for a website or service I’m getting for free. I think people should get paid for the service they are providing. The problem is it always eventually gets out of control and at that point, yeah I’m going to block your ads.

I was on a website earlier today and 80% of the screen was ads. Sorry, you’re getting added to my block list.

To the surprise of no one.

I’m not referring to those ads. These are ads spotify adds before those ads. It’s a recent thing they started doing.

Nope. Spotify recently started adding adds before my podcasts. So now I have to sit through three ads before the podcasts starts and the I have to sit through the ads the podcasts add. It’s unbearable.

Can I just get one without ads? That’s what I’ve been paying for and now suddenly podcasts have ads.

It all sounds like semantics to me. You could implement donations first and then say OK for all you people who haven’t donated we’re going to punish you by showing you ads. Bottom line is this shit isn’t free. It has to get paid for somehow.

What if people who donate no longer see ads? Problem solved.

Yelp used to approach businesses with proposals to to that, yes. Had a friend with a small business years ago and he would get called by Yelp constantly trying to get him to pay to improve his reviews. It’s so shady.

I fucking dare him to follow through. Please do it. Don’t wuss out Elon!

His bag is on layaway!

Please, no body take that guys shovel away. Let him keep digging.

Yes, it’s the cost keeping brands who put their names on stadiums away from twitter. I mean eX.

It’s not even centered?

Going about as I expected.

I am a huge fan of the series, and while I didn’t mind the dungeons in 2, I agree 3 was better. I thought the more realistic graphic style of 3 was gorgeous and a little disappointed that 4 is going more cartoonish. But if the gameplay is fun, which it seems they are focusing on, I can forgive it.

They want to give their rebelling and unhappy user base a giant digital dry erase board to graffiti and express themselves? That will go great!

And my shiny metal ass!
