This moves me.

Thank you.

I’m so distanced from all regulatory processes that they seem literally as impossible as your vision of boycotts. And yet, I now see how pressuring regulatory bodies for the change we want is a very effective tactic.

But it look how long legalized marijuana has taken — that process started in the 70s.

Look how fast Musk was able to turn Twitter into the mouthpiece of fascism. Weeks.

This is what we are dealing with.

I want to push back on your sense of “convenience.”

I am not covetous of streaming. I have abandoned it.

I’m in charge of my media libraries.

What I’m saying is that we can do both: apply pressure on regulatory bodies WHILE abandoning crushing predatory capitalism.

I eat healthily. It does not hurt ME that I refuse to eat corporate bile.

I choose my media. It does not hurt ME that I never see ads.

Anyway — hoping that you can appreciate you have made me value the regulatory pressure argument while I still believe we are powerful.

Moving everything to Fediverse is a great next step.

You need to be the example you want to see in this world. Buy ZERO Corporate.

That’s it.

Delete subscriptions. Replace your music collection with pirated MP3s. Same with movies.

Learn to cook.

Obviously you’ll have to buy gas. Nothing is perfect.

Make a start.

Pretty sure that’s Israel doing that. And then… hmm… after that… couldn’t all the bordering countries be rushing in relief?

Merry Christmas!!

It’s all disgusting out there.

My wife and I kicked all fast food 2010.

We use a crock pot for beans. Buy tortillas etc. We can beat Taco Bell burritos with zero worry about disease.

We transmuted our disgust for corporate hegemony into carefully crafted campaign designed to rise above it as much as possible.

And we’re not saints. Still using abuser Amazon because fuck. But we try and I ride right in by fast food faces feeling so good not to give them an effing dime.

I’m obese and I find the second one kind of funny.

How is that dude 77?

It can be an acquired taste but I think it’s worth it in the long run. If you haven’t seen Trouble with Tribbles or the one in which Spock confounds AI and makes it destroy itself, you haven’t lived.

These always make me happy. I’m so glad I’ve joined Trek people. You put it all back on my radar and are preparing me for a rewatch. Should I start with TOS or jump right to TNG?

This is the answer. Clarity and frugality. It doesn’t matter that they can make accurate predictions of your interests if you simply never click.
