As a self proclaimed leftist who has been to many protests, I have never once heard anyone say the word Antifa except for my Maga boss when he thought Antifa was going to come and rob his house after the BLM protests…

as long as the investment mortgages aren’t sub prime 🙃

Isn’t this what jeff Bezos is doing with fractional real estate investment, except evil?

Not pooping on the idea, I would totally toss money towards a fractional mortgage to help someone else get a home, just noting how the upside down universe version of this idea is already out there.

I did not intend to ever say you can have personalized advertisements without invading someone’s privacy, I’m not sure what I wrote that you interpreted that way, possibly my discussion about how I feel the current ads are not always relevant?

Either way, I stated that advertisers should utilize the content of the website or the content being viewed as a method to advertise, which does not involve invasions of privacy.

Or maybe it was when I said “you don’t need to invade someones privacy to advertise to them”

That is me saying, you can have advertisements that are meant for a specific group, and believe that someone is part of that group based on them visiting a website, without invading their privacy.

Its how newspapers did advertisements, its why magazines existed - to sell ad space for specific interest groups. People also give away data by signing up for websites, interest groups, or ordering things, all data that can be harvested without entering my computer or invading my privacy.

I’m not sure what I said is conflicting, and I feel like your statement is trying to minimize the point I am making, but thats ok, I believe we will never come to agreement here because I firmly disagree with the disruption of privacy for the sake of advertisement.

You can say my feelings are meaningless, but as this gets more invasive people will seek ways to opt out, which I believe is meaningful, although you can say and feel whatever you want my friend :).

Thanks for the book rec, I’ll look it over!

Yeah I understand that, but I will never support trading privacy so advertisers can generate more revenue, so I will continue to propose non-invasive alternatives and tell people supporting invasive methods that they are wrong.

I mean most of the ads I get are meaningless to me despite being personalized, I feel like a lot of people say the same thing, but maybe I am in the minority here.

Either way, I don’t think you need to invade peoples privacy to advertise to them, but agree to disagree. You’re proposing and supporting a level of capitalism that I find repulsive, profit at all costs, privacy isn’t a cost I want to spend.

Not much to do with them unless you want to photograph something specific, and for photographers/videographers the quality can be a let down unless you spend like 2k+ at least, because you basically are using a flying GoPro (DJIs version, but still not exactly mind blowing photography capabilities there).

Maybe? I think they used to advertise based on the content and expected demographics for the website, which is an alternative method that doesn’t require invasive digital fingering.

Right? Like I remember a day and age when the ads were not obtrusive and awful, I would happily go back to a middle ground with normal sidebar/in video ads.

I mean isn’t there a world where we have unobtrusive adverts that are for products people actually want, and can sustain the reporting?

I think people would use less ad blockers if the ads were not designed / placed in a way that feels almost seizure inducing at times.

Unfortunately I think threads/twitter might be the future as a type of open source reporting, as everytime I hit a pay wall I turn around and leave.

Market go up, market go down, missile go up, missile go down.

Cannot wait until butt stuff is no longer compromising, because who the fuck cares (as long as there is consent)?

Prolly gonna be 100 years to get to that point… But I hope it is sooner.

I would wish he would just die already but I honestly believe he is just a puppet with 80 different hands up his ass.

forget waiting for global warming, we can start a resource scarcity war TODAY!

Yeah I’m just talking about the plane, I did not imply or mean to imply it was the same thing. “One” not “this one”.

Congress has tried to shutdown the A-10 program multiple times due to the fact that it would not fair well in peer, let alone near peer contested airspace, was trying to discuss with fellow airplane enthusiasts since both these planes were taken down by Iran, or mechanical failures.

Yeah I did not imply, or mean to imply it was this example specifically, I was discussing A-10 program as it has been attempted to be shut down numerous times, I thought fellow aircraft enthusiasts would be interested.

fuck.

Looks like one was confirmed to be an A-10 Warthog? No wonder they were trying to stop funding for those for like… Forever…
