I believe they’re just going to log your IP and sell that data to other companies. If someone posts a gif from Giphy in my Slack workspace, FB could sell my IP and Slack metadata to anyone else, and then I probably start seeing ads (if I’m

If most people were truly sick of it, there would be no market for news corporations to exploit. People are also “allowed” to focus their attention on whatever they want. It seems like you’re saying we are powerless to ignore the news, alth

I'm waiting to see us come up with clever ways to shrinkflate food that is priced in weight (e.g. $6.99/lb). Perhaps we can create some new, arbitrary unit of weight will be created, like ib, Ib, llb, ld, etc. that looks like a ty

I don't see this as unethical because there is still the possibility that they will give you an offer that you would consider. It's just that they'd probably have to offer quite a bit in terms of compensation and opportunity

I want to agree with you on some level, not all negative emotions are bad. It definitely seems like a lot of people pushing 'mindfulness' are pushing some utopian, culty good vibes version where we try to ignore or subdue all nega
