the idea of “just browse the web normally with someone looking over your shoulder taking notes on what you like to then sell you shit - or even better, it infers what you like using magic and can even tell when you’re pregnant before you know it yourself” can be nice in some ways I guess, but yeah I agree. no thanks.

What capitalists are doing is intentionally sharpening the contradiction, probably with the goal of a revolution or reform in their favor (as can be seen in the USA right now).

Pirating movies is pretty good though. Mainstream media always manages to exploit labor incredibly harshly, to the point of suicide, and that behavior should not be rewarded IMO. Of course there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but one can dream. As an aside, pirated media is also incredibly convenient. There is a great community spirit in the piracy community.

I think you overestimate the average user

it’s sort of not your decision to make though. someone else’s body is generally not made for you, even if you’re in a relationship. your ex could choose to respect your opinion on their body, but it’s definitely not mandatory and should not be treated as normal and self-explanatory. getting surgery might add confidence in this twisted world.

to be fair it takes a real asshat to make an enemy out of a crow

I wouldn’t be optimistic, something else may break

to clarify a bit, you get both the meat of a chicken as well as the egg of a chicken
