For example, there’s no easy way of bypassing ads on YouTube mobile. But a lot of them don’t actually say the product name. Refusing to look at it is my one, small, micro resistance.

    everytime i see fashy bullshit online i usually dont even engage with it mentally and just say some shit to myself like “damn you need to be shot dude”. very good for mental health as its a very easy way to just not interact with the stuff even on a basic level.

    (dear federal agents,

    just to clarify, this is not an actual threat to any specific person, this is just something i think to myself every so often.

    tyvm,

    a random internet communist)

    Piracy, just fucktons of piracy.

    Living in the Global South, if I didn’t pirate as much stuff as I do, I don’t really know if I’d even be able to speak English. I’ve been pirating games, books and movies for most of my life. A single Playstation game costs about 25% of the monthly minimum wage where I live.

    One could even say that “as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a pirate” ayy

    I was driving in front of a guy who’s turn signal was out. A cop spotted him and pulled out from a driveway a few cars back. I changed lanes, let the dude pass, then got behind him and helped him get lost in traffic before the cop could catch up.
