or GiveWell if you want causes ranked according to their impact as measured in QALYs. They research these things pretty carefully to determine the impact. If you’re not a utilitarian then you may not see the point of doing this (though on the other hand, if you’re not a utilitarian, I don’t know if there’s any way to evaluate charities well.)

absolutely refuse to put up with them

This is amazing. Good job! I wish more people were like this. Apparently São Paulo in Brazil has no ads at all.

The message they will take away is “the things my parents approve of” and “the things that are really cool and fun” are disjoint categories. IDK, I’m not a parent, I don’t want to deal with that. Just thinking about my own childhood here, and the kids of people I know.

yeah the problem is this doesn’t line up with the horror stories I’ve personally witnessed. Sudden, massive credit card charges. The problem can occur when kids aren’t spending their own money, they’re using their parents’, some way some how.

Regardless, kids are already surrounded by ads in every corner of life trying to convince them they need XYZ in exchange for money. I’d rather work to make the kid’s environment less consumerist, to give them a vision of how life could be.

wow I got completely fooled hahaha

I have started to recognize usernames. This is a problem.

So glad lemmy is finally graduating from “cracker” to “clanker.” This is what class consciousness looks like 😎

Thank you for censoring the c-word, I don’t think I could have taken it otherwise.

There is no need for step 3, since step 1-2 cover that.

That you say “your country” immediately reveals your own bias to assume that everything you see is American.

You probably think everyone posting is male as well.

Even I think this despite being a canadian woman.

be the change you want to see in the .world

It’s not an exception. Pronouns never have apostrophes for possessive.

His. Hers. Theirs. Its.

Prostitutes are human beings and deserve respect. Don’t equate them to AI.

I’m only skeptical because I would really love to believe this.

oh I misunderstood. I thought “five figure income should be 0” meant “people shouldn’t be able to make even five figures.”
