Reblogging this on ALL my blogs because holy shit is it useful

then what

oh

i like how hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby is used as a reaction to lopsided fights because i actually thought the joke was that the two were evenly matched. i thought coughing babies really could hold their own here

RIP

Nestle

Fucking Nestle is one of the worst goddamn brands on the planet.

Here is everyones reminder to block every goddamn brand that shows their face here. as fun as bullying this piece of shit resource stealer would be, block them so that they get no notes. make them leave this website so we dont become fucking twitter.

I have boycotted Nestle since 1978, when I first heard about them dumping formula on poor countries. It is, in fact, my only non-negotiable boycott.

In the ‘70s, breastfeeding became the accepted standard in the US, so they dumped their formula on poorer countries around the world. There, they used propoganda, scare tactics, and free samples to “encourage” women to stop breast feeding and use formula – then, long enough for breast milk to have stopped being produced, they charge more than people could afford. Many (MANY) babies died as a result of malnutrition and/or dysentery.

This was a real thing. It made loud enough news that my non-political self heard about it in the depths of Appalachia. The World Health Orangization fined them for the practice, but the corporation (iirc) neither acknowledged nor stopped.

In the early ‘90s, they were again fined by WHO for the same. damn. thing.

Then there’s this Guardian article from 2017

Nestlé pays $200 a year to bottle water near Flint – where water is undrinkable https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/29/nestle-pays-200-a-year-to-bottle-water-near-flint-where-water-is-undrinkable

other ppl have been sending me images of this all day 

abortion is a human right. my partner and I have compiled an exhaustive document with links to abortion funds and pro-choice organizations to support during this time, including state-specific resources. please consider donating + sharing!!!

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

Artificial violence is not actually a corrupting influence but hanging out with assholes sure is.

also, I think we could probably recognize that like… there is a difference between a game where you beat up a half demon alien cyborg or whatever, and a game partially funded by the US military that glorifies hyper-realistic military operations in a “middle east” coded setting, where everyone with brown skin is an enemy that needs to be gunned down. Like, those things are different.

fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals.  protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.

the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than you’d think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity.  make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged.  and strike. attack.

YES i’m a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but it’s almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used can’t be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word. above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if they’re collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that

This makes me think that we need WAAAY more apps that generate junk data

Apps that generate junk data? tell me moooore.

Ooh I know this one!

Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money

TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc)

WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string “FuckOff”. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I can’t seem to find it

Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so that’s good enough for me

@afraidofamericans

Boy it SURE would be a SHAME if this were SPREAD AROUND for everyone TO SEE

Leopardy!

So? #girlboss

It was really fucked up, and the leopards seems worried that it might be next
