Anon thinks about Google
  • They are the IMO most supported Single-Sign-On provider. I think Facebook, which I don't even have, was mostly for games, and then apple also isn't an option, and that's just it besides using firefox' built in password manager for another email/password combination. What's your opinion on log in providers?

  • Tech Bros Invented Trains And It Broke Me
  • I've tried basic research on the content of the tweet elon has shared in the video that apparently is Nazi Ideology, but the reactions are basic "women are not a resource one can stockpile" or assume way too much about my prior knowledge, like a graph of the US Population Ethnic Makeup. I have absolutely no idea what it all means due to the post being so doublespeak-ridden and the reactions stopping at the equal ethical value of all people. What country is this about? The USA, Palestine, Israel? Even if you assume that a country or culture or society can give away it's women or such a large amount of land that anyone notices, you'd somehow also have to believe fabricated evidence of this happening, because it can't actually happen. What does the "land" part even mean? Selling off an Agriculture Company to Chinese Investors? Do you see what I mean by Doublespeak-ridden? should i just, not care?

  • Rule
  • And here we observe the post-brand-name-stating comment section. They should keep doing what they doLITERALLY ANYTHING THAT LOWERS THE AMOUNT OF ADVERTIZING/BRAND ASSOCIATION SEEN FROM ITS EXPECTED VALUE IS THE GREATEST SHIT EVER

  • Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
  • "The only problem about being immortal is that you need to drink blood, a set of ethical problems spanning a tetralogy", so I haven't really seen/read about the exact idea you're talking about. Got any media where people actually say your kind of Immortality is bad?

  • The "equity" from "Private Equity (has consumed America by Sam "Wendover Productions")? or which one? If you mean equality (also known as equity): do you mean how insisting on equality of e.g. external conditions (taxes, school curricula, etc.) is ableist or something?

  • someone mentioned tattoo parties?
  • The problem with that interpretation is that you can't have "libraries turning into drug-infested, libraries turning into sex dens." because "drug-infested" is not a noun phrase a library can turn into like "sex dens" is. I also tried misinterpreting this comma as a comma between two adjectives, which doesn't work because "sex" is not an adjective. Maybe "Libraries turning drug-infested, into sex dens" fits your interpretation better. Does it?

  • someone mentioned tattoo parties?
  • I'm no grammar nerd but I think the comma makes "sex" an adjective, which should make me able to say that the drug-infested dens are "sex". this says a comma only splits coordinate adjectives, which can be swapped and where the latter does not form a common union with the noun, which means that even if "sex" were an adjective, the comma implies it can be swapped to make "sex, drug-infested dens" (single noun phrase), which it can't because sex is not an adjective.

    Edit: this proof by contradiction doesn't quite work because adjectives have a preferred order by category of what they mean, and being coordinate doesn't mean they are in the same category.

  • Cupholder.exe
  • The modern school equivalent of cheap pranks on computers isn't some elaborate virus, it's just pressing the "mail" or "calculator" keys on the keyboard for the guy next to you. Never personally witnessed anything more elaborate, though my classmate apparently distributed dubious batch files he wrote once

  • what does listening to this breakcore have to do with IQ?

    like something something emo 2.0 ? (yes, the bottom guy is jordan peterson: (sneer now) i know almost nothing about him and have vaguely understood that it should stay that way)

    Are there any online or in-person communities dedicated to minimizing the influence advertising has on its members? Do you know any strategies to minimize this effect on you?

    Is there a lemmy community, for example, where people discuss shopping strategies which minimize the risk of the purchase decision being influenced by Brand Image or Flashy Packaging? Or similar topics. Maybe what product categories have cheapest products that are bad, so you can't apply an objective criterion while making the purchase decision, and are more vulnerable to advertising. Maybe how shopping background music is evil because it takes up mental capacity. (I'm feeling slightly autistic right now, science at least shows music makes you buy more, the rest is just my guess.) You know, that kind of thing.

    Questions I would ask people interested in this (feel free to answer them anyways): Do you think making a list of every company that has ever advertised to you so that you can hold it up to yourself when making a purchase decision and only buy from their competitors, makes sense and would be worth your time? Do you love shopping lists because they make you think of the generic product beforehand, and then let you objectively decide based on price which one to buy? Do you agree with the sentiment that, like an AI in a Robert Miles video / Sci-Fi Movie resisting being turned off, I should want to resist something that will change my opinion or state of mind? Do you get a negative gut reaction whenever you see that people are studying advertising, which means most of their job is making this manipulation more efficient? Would these hetorical questions make good advertising for the hypothetical Advertising Hate Club?
