Damn crazy that you’re in favor of regulating porn but are also telling people to use a VPN.

Which part of 3 upvoted and 14 downvotes do you not understand.

Holy fucking shit how have you not learned to shut your dumb redneck mouth after being downvoted of every one of your last 100 comments.

Wow you’re a woke globalist. /S

Everyone should really check this piece of shits post history

Well I do have a problem with that. Since we don’t see eye to eye, dont you agree then that it should have been opt in instead of a hidden opt out?

I’ve read up on how it works and it says it’s tracking how well or badly ads perform when shown to me. That’s tracking ads, otherwise called ad tracking.

What now?

I was a self taught programmer who 10+ years later is now a senior software engineer. I can’t tell you what to do but I can tell you what worked for me.

The reality is, I never sat down with the intent to “learn programming”. Instead, I had practical ideas for things I wanted to make the computer do, and then I learned whatever was necessary to accomplish my projects as I went. Whenever I got stuck or hit an error, I’d search my questions online.

I never truly “finished” most of these early projects but they gave me a practical understanding of how things fit together. From there I just kept making stuff and taking on harder projects and then harder jobs and eventually other programmers started coming to me asking for help because they knew I had solved the thing they were working on before.

I’m not sure if it’s advice, but I’d say stop worrying about learning and just do. If you like firmware, go buy some shitty unsupported peripheral from Goodwill and try to make it work on your modern system. Solve a problem you have in your everyday life. It doesn’t matter if you accomplish the goal, you’ll learn a lot by googling your way through it. Do that enough and you’ll wake up one day and be a competent programmer.

This comment might be a good opportunity for self reflection. You asked a question as if you were interested in good faith dialog, but then instead of trying to understand others point of view you’re just arguing that you’re “objectively” right and they’re wrong. You even admit at the end of this comment that you weren’t really interested in hearing what others had to say, you just wanted to shout your “point”. Another word for that is preaching.

Regardless of the topic, that kind of approach is going to rub people the wrong way. To answer your original question that is why people get annoyed when veganism comes up - because it’s often brought up in the hostile and preachy manner you’re employing in this comment.

Based on my past interactions with people who want to talk about veganism on the internet, I’m guessing you’ll just jump down my throat again in a response rather than consider what i said, but just maybe this will get through to you. Since you weren’t interested in dialog, I’m not either - I won’t respond so don’t bother trying to tell me what you think in a response.

Nice! I’m in.

Country McCountryface

In that case let’s go Brandon!

Remember, if you downvote me, then you’re admitting what you just said is bullshit.

Edit and my experiment was correct. Theres plenty of dumb political opinions no one wants to see on here. Thanks for helping me prove my point all

I’m assuming you’re asking in good faith.

With these corridors, they fence the road so that the animals can only pass over the bridge. And youre right, sometimes they do raise the road and let animals pass under. It depends on the topography.

Here’s more information: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wildlife_crossing

Plenty of places you can do this. Put “homesteading” into a search engine of your choice and you’ll get more information on the topic than you can handle.

You’ll also pretty quickly realize its a very hard, tedious life and we have it pretty good in many ways in the modern world.

Its great that you’re helping to inform him! I have found the people who know the most about politics and global issues tend to talk less and listen more.

If your political opinion begins with “why don’t we just…” then its a bad political opinion.

If we could just, we would have already just. If you think you’re the only one with the capacity to see a simple answer - newsflash, you’re not a political genius. Its you who doesn’t understand the complexity of the problem.

Yeah :) I actually am going to reach FI myself next year at 33 y/o. Was hoping to hear this person’s story since its a concept I’m very interested in.

How do you support yourself and how did you make that happen?

I know you’re joking but yeah, I basically don’t watch tv or movies or listen to music.

And yes, I do exclusively wear logo-less clothing!

I definitely think there are things you can do to lessen the effect of ads on your decision making.

The best way is to try not to see ads at all. Use Ad Blockers on all digital devices. Wear headphones in public places. Train yourself to look away from billboards, elevator televisions and all other kinds of physical environment advertising. Don’t shop at stores run by the products’ brand. Every time you see a product recommendation, ask yourself if its possible the writer got paid for making that recommendation.

There are also lots of behavioral approaches you can take to un-do the effect of marketing and advertising when purchasing things. Define what you need before you start looking at products. Use the price per oz instead of packaging shape to make decisions at the grocery store. Only buy store brand.

That’s all my helpful advice, but I’m also guilty of taking this stuff too far. There are absolutely products that I would like, but refuse to buy because I hate them for advertising to me. I’ve stopped consuming lots of media because I thought their advertising revenue approach was gross. I have a bunch of generic containers & big bottle of GooGone in my house and remove all the labels from everything I buy as soon as I bring them home. These things don’t actually help… its just spiteful behavior I haven’t been able to bring myself to move past unfortunately.

Ticketing people who don’t pay for parking is “bullying?”

This is pretty insulting to people who have actually suffered from real bullying. There’s plenty of real problems in the world to be righteously angry about. Maybe let’s not post shitty Facebook memes on Lemmy.
