Reminds me of the Boston Tea Party. It was in solidarity with the Great Bengali Famine caused by the East India Company.

Kinda cool, but heavy strobe warning for any light sensitive people out there.

The Toronto horse cops carried around trading cards for their horses as a part of a PR campaign. Ask a cop for one!

Just another way for you to be disappointed by the police. Can't even do PR right.

I dread the day I need to take care of my parents to that degree. Parents in the burbs, neither of the kids drive. It's at least transitable and my parents were decent people. There's still trauma but it's healing.

Still, how do you balance work to pay rent with the need to care for ailing loved ones? Something's going to give when the boomers start becoming disabled en masse.

You need one of those toddler leash backpacks.

YouTube has more than 1 video for every human alive on this planet. I can't help but wonder: what is the value of all this?

I sent several friends the Bezos rowing boat video and the consensus is "what the fuck did I just watch?"

I don't care for the softening any more. Softeners also wreck your towels' absorbancy. Never going back.

It's unfortunate that this has to be a bad thing.

Damn. Those TERF colours flying.

Thank you so much for the name of it! I'm a beginner and only knit the same socks over and over again. I have been experimenting with different sock patterns without a guide, but not the heel construction.

Say you can justify each piece of data collected via a UX element. Someone said in the comments: low battery, charger ad. Where do you draw the line between data for the product vs data for profit? You don't. It's all embedded in the idea of "the product".

This is a company that sells ads AND data. They collect everything. Consumers don't seem to care. Tiktok is still popular. People see this post and will still download Threads.

It's important for people to understand the industry justification behind data collection and why it's so widespread across the industry so we can have this conversation about what "too much data" actually means. Serving me relevant ads like places near me for food? I guess that's a feature. A face aging app that we train to feed a military database of faces to track down deserters? Not so much.
