I remember my parents civilly disagreeing about H.W. vs. Dukakis, and later H.W. vs. Clinton. There was never a problem there, just a civil discussion and a difference of opinion. But if either of them was a MAGAt, I think they would be spending their last decade or two apart, and they'd be better off that way too. Shit has been on a while different level the last 10 years, at least.

You have an old favorite team-up of Germany and Japan?

I've got some bad news for you...

Yeah, I'm probably being too optimistic.

That might be their outlook on "local" pollution for a while, but you don't think going from 20 years left to centuries to live might affect their opinions on global climate change?

Might be the only way to get them to give a shit about the environment.

I've known a couple of vegans that wouldn't eat it. One was disappointed to learn a drink he liked contained it. But he stopped drinking it.

Do I want to know what a virgin boy egg is?

I wonder how much more it would cost to just donate or throw away your printer every time it runs out of ink and buy a new one. Printers are sold at a major loss to lock you into their ink. It might be worth the expense to know your costing these pricks money.

Talking to other people is part of what I mean by seeking things out. If you do all you can to avoid ads, along with the 99% that are useless you also block the 1% that you might actually find useful.

For example; I recently heard about this show from a friend that is right up my alley. When I looked up a trailer it's the kind of thing that seeing a commercial once would have caught my eye and ensured I watch it. She was surprised I hadn't heard of it because it's on a network with a few shows she knows I like and they've been pimping it pretty hard for a while. Because I block the bullshit I either have to hope cool stuff comes up in conversation or seek out new stuff elsewhere.

Where on lemmy did I suggest that?

I'm not sure where on earth you got the impression that I thought that.

 

I apologize in advance of this is too basic a question for this community.

I just learned about lexisnexis and went to their website to request my report, opt out of everything I could, and request my information be deleted.

Are there any other companies like this I should be aware of so I can make the same requests there?

If it matters, I'm in California and it's my understanding that I have a few more rights concerning this sort of thing than some others do.
