platforms driven by user created content like the nazis, and other extreme right ideologues, because the audience for them consumes that content like religious zealots going to services, getting in their daily requirements of indoctrination. This inflates user engagement. However, the businesses advertising their services, and products, on those platforms do not like their company being associated with these people.

I used to get these all the time. Haven’t seen one in almost a year now. I wonder what happened for them to so strongly disassociate something with me? I wish I knew so that I could weaponize it.

I have never gotten an ad for a game I was currently playing. For me it’s always these mobile games, namely ones that use hentai art to sell the game, I have found out some of these are not actually porn games, or the most recent offering from the biggest studios.

Oh you reminded me, hygiene products, all sorts of hygiene products that have been branded to assure me I am not gay, or a woman, for wanting bathe and groom myself. There is also the one where some douche tells me I am not a dish.

I never get fashion ones, however my feed is periodically bombarded with videos to people who make subculture fashion for women. like lolita dresses. I have no idea why. The only thing I can think of is that I show an interest in music with associated subcultures and they just do not know how to get them right. Hey, this guy listened to Lingua Ignota, let’s send him 20 channels discussing pastel colored lolita clothes and kawaii culture.

Yeah, my experience with youtube ads

Don’t you remember when families did things? wasn’t that fun? Families, doing things?

Soon it will also be flooded with THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE WILL EAT YOUR CHILDREN!

I am interested in none of these things

So their two best candidates are a, multiple court case proven conman, and the man who protected a high profile pedophile for years? The US is doing really well at the moment.

I, too, used to feel this way. However, now that I am old enough to put 20+ years between now and the time the pictures were taken, I do like being able to look back through those pictures. It is amazing how your memory distorts and loses details of the past, even of strong memories where you still know the important beats correctly. I wish I had more. I now try to get more when I am doing things. Though I will never be one of those people just going place to place to get a bad picture of it with me in frame.

One possibility is breadfruit. We, realistically, can’t depend on one though. Even the most robust staple food will still have some sort of vulnerability so it will always be of benefits to have several.

Off the top of my head I can’t remember everything. However, he worked with several PACs to get a budget increase to the local schools, he and several members of the town’s staff retained money from several major corporations, like PNC, to fund a fairly diverse set of extra-curricular activities and clubs for the local school as well as cover the costs to the students for those activities. Braddock had pretty much no where for people under 21 to do anything so he worked with a number of groups to get a pretty decked out community center built that, beyond a place to hang out and play, offered martial arts, classes in visual arts, music lessons, after school tutoring, and, IIRC, Wiz Khalifa put in money to add a studio with classes on sound engineering, production, etc. He and his wife opened a free grocery store available to those without food. They laid the ground for a government run, non profit, grocery store to address the food desert situation as well as provide more affordable food. He worked with a number of local community leaders, from churches to business owners, to reach out to kids getting into trouble with police, give them part time jobs, teach trade work, etc.

He fought very hard to get a lot of infrastructure improvements as well. Roads, public buildings and facilities, etc. He also helped get funding for a free to user day care.

American, but I qualify for government insurance so everything tends to get covered and I pay nothing for it. Back pain is ultimately from Spina Bifida. Why this particular escalation in pain is happening, I believe, is because I recently spent a few days out of town which I slept on an air mattress. While the air mattress I have is a nice one, my back is exceptionally mercurial in attitude.

They sure do. Like the time I saw this Newsmax host, on his knees, in an alley just of Kensington, getting bukkaked by Trump and David Koch while at least 4 under aged boys were pissing on him.

Meh, fifth day of back pain strong enough to limit movement. Pain management had me get a nerve block. I am now in over night observation at the hospital. I start PT tomorrow, hopefully this gets better in a few days of therapy.

When I worked for Allegheny County I attended a bunch of meetings that included Fetterman. He seemed like a genuine dude. Spent a lot of his time as mayor of Braddock living in the rear of the town offices, he got nasty with established politicians in the town to get a number of his reforms passed and was a constant hound on the county execs until they granted funding to several of his projects.

Braddock, for those not from the Pittsburgh area, has been a really rough place for decades. It has been on the list of most dangerous places in the US repeatedly. His mayoral policies have been tied to a general decrease in violent crime, as well as several major improvements in the QOL stats in Braddock. The dude got to know the local gang youth and personally worked with a bunch of them to help them leave the life style. When one would get killed he would get their name tattooed on himself.

I would have preferred having his corpse in state office than that celebrity snake oil salesman.

Hey now, how am I sposed to get my vengence boner stroked if there isn’t someone’s mugshot in the news for me to sneer at?

our police/courts/corrections is an industry, unfortunately. Who knew that placing ever more profit motives on arresting, processing, and jailing people would end up leading to bad outcomes.

But, hey, it’s just the unwashed the masses, so who cares, I guess.

huh, back when I was young, and people would still, occasionally, pester me into going to strip joints with them, we mostly just binge drank, did drugs, and occasionally got some dancers to facilitate more private services.

The people who seemed like they were actually, really, paying attention to the dancers were, well, even more creepy than your average strip club attendee.
