I mean the point of it isn’t to deprive retailers of one day of profits altogether, it’s to show how much a sustained refusal to shop would hurt them. Whether or not it’s effective depends on how many people participate.

I don’t think it’s going to be effective, but I’m not going to be the reason it’s not. I can pick up my dish soap tomorrow

My turn to post the Technology Connections link

My favorite fun astronomy fact is that a transit like this (Venus, but still) is how we managed to figure out our distance to the Sun in the 1700s

The fact that Google refused to restore his account even after the police that they called said there was no child porn pisses me off to no end. They are officially allowed to close your account for no reason other than they don’t like you.

Is it too much to ask that my phone only contain the shit that makes it work, and not anything else?

Macross 7 by Disney directly, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Simpsons by various other rights holders, and probably more that I’m not even aware of

Right now it’s just one plotline in Macross 7 that involves sexual assault, and some “offensive” episodes of Always Sunny and The Simpsons. From what I’ve read, the Macross one makes the show better, but I’d rather not set a precedent that lets them clip out every gay and trans character to please the current administration

I used to think this way, but then I found out that Disney is actively censoring media that they’ve bought the rights to, so now my argument is that you should pirate stuff to keep the original art available

Perfect, thank you!

I need a new password for my bank account. Any suggestions?
