This a more “a man” than “the man” but I had a boss I hated who was really into horoscopes.
So I learned all about them so I could memorize every one else’s sign and continue to forget his.
Good luck writing me up for that Rob. Oh wait you couldn’t anyway because I outlasted you!
Smoke some pot before sleep
When I pump gas, I don’t end on an even dollar amount or anything. I just…stop.
I never pay for digital media.
I will intentionally avoid asking for 5 star reviews.
I hate those things!
When watching over-the-air television, I mute the TV and look away when ads come on.
You can show me all the ads in the world but you sure as fuck can’t force me to engage.Tap for spoiler
God help those fuckers when I finally fall down the TV Tuner + Jellyfin + TVHeadend rabbithole. I’m gonna “Live Pause” that shit or I’m gonna straight up DVR everything I wanna watch and skip the ads.
And my parents watch much more OTA TV than me so you bet your ass I’m setting up every TV in their house with a cheap trustable Android TV stick and teaching them how to Pause, Rewind and Fast Forward. Fuck ads foreverrrrrr.Perceiving advertisements is unethical. Good job!
I get this and I also don’t engage with ads but at the end of the day they are what pays for the stuff you want to watch.
It’s a shitty system and it’s become amazingly predatory. Needless to say I used revanced on my phone.
Ads can’t be permitted to pay for things, though. One has a moral obligation to make sure that that strategy does not work, because it degrades both whatever the advertisements are inserted around (which becomes optimized to get attention at the expense of anything actually useful, like entertaining or conveying information) and the people who perceive it (because it creates capital inside their minds, in the form of brands, artificially alters their culture, and deliberately creates fear, mistrust of loved ones, and feelings of inadequacy).
By not participating in work’s non-work activities.
Linux and piracy.
i refuse to apply for jobs
I read their names to owls.
I poo at work
Me too. Sometimes I hold it in through the weekend.
Get yourself food poisoning for maximum bang for the buck.
Run every reasonable possible method of ad-blocking. From whole-house PiHole with uBlock, Privacy Badger, anti-tracking, VPN, and more. F/OSS software when possible.
Firefox has an addon called AdNauseam that’s based on uBlock Origin but clicks on ads in addition to blocking them.
Chrome had it, but google removed it because they can.
Hm. Not sure how I feel about giving them clicks for pay even if it muddies my profile. I’d rather they not know at all.
“A trans person peed here” stickers in gas station bathrooms/other public bathrooms.
That is delightful. A smile for allies and discomfort for assholes.
I used to travel a lot in eastern Oklahoma, and left a lot of stickers at gas stations in the middle of bumble fuck nowhere towns. Probably less smiles and more anger honestly, but fuck them. Also did some on a trip to Missouri, where I’m pretty sure it was illegal for me to piss.
I work about 1 hour of every day.
More to the woman. My girl once complained about me leaving the seat up.
For years, I always put the seat AND the lid down.
All of us leave the seat and lid down. The whole seat up/down argument is pretty ridiculous.
If you flush with the lid up you’re gross and I hate you
This, myth busters did an episode on this. We have family that always leave it up and I’ll put it down afterwards, they never seem to get the message. If you leave the lid up when you flush it atomizes what ever is in the bowl and spreads it all over the bathroom, nasty.
Literally! How about just putting the water on the floor in the first place
I have a cat. Toilet lid is shut unless actively in use otherwise there will be the worst kind of wet cat loose in the house because she’s dumb and clumsy.
It never even occurred to me that this would be relevant to my cats, but I always make sure the washer and dryer get closed.
I approve of your diligence.
