If there's one thing that won't make me want to use your business it's having it be advertised by a gimp in full body suit baking in the summer

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

Power users are always going to use a VPN or install gentoo on their phones or whatever, what matters is that all the olds and the non-computer nerds are going to suffer so that rich fucks get more money funnelled into their ad scams.

I'm looking forward to self-driving cars that make you watch commercials (with eye tracking) or they pull over.

I am very happy with the $15 TV (42" LG LCD) I bought at a charity furniture sale at my workplace. It's from 2010, so no stupid ads or "smart" nonsense or anything.

It goes well with my $75 receiver and $60 speakers.

And my $400 subwoofers :ssh:

Municipal governments should have less restrictions on signage so there is less reliance on sentient, mobile signage

Alternatively, imo ditch car culture and pedestrianize everything

It took me a while to figure out what seemed weird about old pictures from the Soviet Union but then I realized it's that there's no loving ads. Big cities like Kiev or Moscow, there's the occasional propaganda banner or mural or whatever, but not a single ad in sight, you can actually see the architecture and poo poo without having a layer of Coke ads plastered over it.

To put it quite simply Blockchain Mama© will allow you to privitize your DRM balanced digital assets with an enhanced secure online event through cryptographic key management. Dual Expression reward recognition using the game's internal wallet storage system will allow players a subtley different experience using unique IDs managed directly through the third party certificate system included in the games Private-Key Enabled Balanced DRM so that participation can be tracked while maintaining privacy.

i kind of miss being a security guard because i just straight up actively did the opposite of my job and would gladly tell the rich people in el dorado hills that whatever they're talking about isnt my job and that im on my lunch break so can you gently caress off? boss made me kick a homeless guy out of the park while it was open even though he was doing nothing but charging his phone, on an outdoor outlet that literally had a sign saying to use it if you needed it. he said it was because one of the parks board members told him to but you know. anyway some lady at an auction fundraiser for some bullshit horse rally (lmfao) got VERY pissed at me for that and it was like. jesus i cant win with you loving rich people, im either a bastard for not doing my job or i'm a bastard for doing it.

anyway i dont recommend working as even a minor class traitor, its not fun

I have a non smart TV which gets used maybe once per week. This thread has made me realize that Roku is gonna go out of business and brick all of their devices before long, so my options will be to a) get cable, b) get a new tv, c) get one of those illegal streaming ghost box things.

Get a streamy stick like the goog one or the amazon one (or I'm sure some slightly less evil company probably makes one too, idk) and then just stream stuff from a computer
