I once binge watched certain type of music videos on YT and got ads that targeted people of color (I say this because the people used in the ads were consistently people of color) by scammy loan and get rich ads. It was long time ago. Short

Btw. my main intention was to show how naive hospitality can be exploited by a malicious actor. Your reaction is as smart as calling a person who shows vulnerabilities in the software a hacker.

I'm not against ads in general but I'm strongly against the idea to turn Internet into TV 2.0 e.g. interuptive ad delivery channel. Text and banner ads allow the user to chose their level of engagement but forced video ads attempt

I certainly agree with you but a lot of that content got archived (and some of it is still directly available) but if for example Facebook would become extinct then a lot of content held there will follow without any rescue. A lot of niche

It was a norm in Soviet Union that to advance academically you had to produce work that somehow endorsed communism. It was very good if you were able to put some citations of Lenin or Marx into your completely unrelated work at minimum or b

I do not follow conspiracy theories, but perhaps you are more familiar with this. I really do not care about what skin color people have if they share the same general values I have like the right for freedom of speech and right for religio

And yet you are incredibly naive to not understand the possibility that this "your community" can be easily overtaken and destroyed in the borderless world.

Yes, this happens when you don't curate your feed and accept the default feed provided by the companies. For example I checked out some artists in Instagram (that I don't use regularly) and I observed that closing the artist page

The analogy is fair. See, when it comes to your home, you expect people to leave and not come to occupy your home, most likely because it will limit your own autonomy. There are borders you are not willing to cross. It is not different with

Good point. Also worth noting that move your head forward to look around front window pillars, especially when moving slowly - it is incredibly frequent when a pedestrian is approaching exactly with the speed that will hide them behind the

I watched one on Youtube. Try Dune 1984 Alternative Edition Redux [Spice Diver Fan Edit]. Let me know how you like it.

I love guests too. But they have this one nice property - they will leave. I will not. I will be also not your new girlfriend. So how many of me you can take into your home? Only me? 2 of me? 10 of me? Will your quality of life improve or d

I just recently rewatched the new Dune and it has it's own special vibe. Certainly knowing the book helps to understand many things and this is true that the power of mentats was clearly not explained at all and this is unfortunate, bu

Ok, so you don't mind if I take over all your rooms? You can live in the basement if you have one. It looks like you try to project it like it would be like visiting, nope, no such luck, I will come forever and take all my relatives wi

Yes, for sure. * as a side note: I disagree with some false propaganda that tries to portrait Jewish people in Israel as settler colonists - you can't be a colonist on your own land - that would be absurd.

The example was consciously made like this to illustrate clear limits of resources. While I support freedom of movement in general, it for sure creates numerous problems that have been on multiple occasions also discussed here as it can hap

So you propose that if a new natural resource is discovered in one place then everybody should flock to that place and exploit it until it is exhausted and then move to another place? While I am supportive toward freedom of movement, I also

Yes, to live is the key, and there would no supply in absence of it.

While there is certain truth in it, I believe that a man needs certain belonging, certain responsibility. I have witnessed a (state wide) culture without it, it resulted in careless exploitation of natural resources and wide scale pollution

Yes, of course, I completely agree and I plan to come to live in your home with you. I'll bring all my relatives also with me, so please plan your expenses accordingly.

Your cost of Javalin is off by order of magnitude but still the point stands - drones are much more cost effective.

And who is going to pay this rent when population will drop?

Why lie?

Even worse, most people, including politicians, are completely incapable to understand exponential processes and how fast population decline can occur and how difficult is to recover from it.

This looks like an anti competitive action that should be investigated.
