If my tool sucks, I will tell it so

So thanking your tools: dangerous on a humanity level scale

Telling your tool it sucks: Normal behaviour

I open my door, the warning goes off, and I say "thank you car." It's better for me mental well being than saying "oh fuck."

And you FEEEEEEEEL like it doesn't matter. What's the difference?

I thank my car when it alerts me that I left the lights on or my keys in the ignition. I'm not anthropomorphizing my car, I'm practicing appreciation for the benefits my tools provide.

Advertising will always get out of control. It is the nature of the beast. 1 ad that is skippable after 5 seconds before a video was fine, now it's multiple unskippable ads before and throughout the video.
"Subscribe for no ads" until the unsaitable desire for ad revenue becomes "Subscribe for fewer ads".
I was online in the early days of the Internet and didn't use an ad block for quite some time. I was fine with sites getting ad revenue from banner ads I would ignore. Then one day I encountered a banner ads the literally screamed at me through my speakers when I moused over it and I couldn't download an ad blocker fast enough.

Advertising never stops at a reasonable level, is will always push further until it finds the level people won't tolerate then pulls back jusssst a little. The only reasonable response is to not tolerate them at all.

I don't think they're suggesting we ask companies to "pretty please stop advertising".

New executive order: contempt of court can be pardoned.

An innocent man with no charges filed against him was illegally deported on the 15th of March. Despite court orders trying to prevent it, or have him returned, nothing was done to stop this or fix this. He has spent 33 days illegally held and no one has faced any consequences for this so far.

"Courts are slow, this is fine."

Tell that to the man being tortured for over a month if he's still alive. I'm sure his family will be relieved when charges are filled against some scapegoat who offended Trump in 2028.

And then if Trump just pardons them?

what's the point of disruption?

To force people ignoring the issue to engage with it. People who are fine with status quo and ignoring the issue now have to deal with it. Either they're going to be people who agree to some degree with the protestors and will be more voices saying "just give them what they want FFS so this distribution can end" or they oppose the protestors at which point why would the protestors be upset that they have been disrupted?

That kind of infrastructure takes time to build. Nobody wants to invest in something that will take years to start producing if there's a 50/50 chance that tomorrow Trump rolls over and China starts selling again within a month. It's too risky with how unstable the world market is right now.
