I hate the implication that these pillows actually exist somewhere out in the world.

We pick a different dish every year for our main.

That sounds actually awesome.

It was fantasticly coffee

I have no idea what that means, but it still sounds pretty good.

Try telling that to your mother who’s been handling the turkey for decades.

You get what you get and you either like it or you shut up and pretend that you do, because that’s your mum and she’s tired and hasn’t seen you in weeks and turkey is always a little dry, trust me I know, I’ve been doing this since before you were born, eat it with some cranberry sauce, have you seen your cous…

I can and have cooked turkey for myself.

And then decided it just wasn’t worth it. Not when I can cook a chicken, a duck, and a Cornish hen for half the effort.

If you want to go through the effort and expense of doing it because that makes it special to you and you enjoy it, more power to you.

But Thanksgiving seems more like ritual torture for the vast majority of people who do it because we collectively accepted that it’s “what you’re supposed to do”.

I support your right to love turkey at any level of doneness.

I should have specified that it’s not worth it to families (or grocery store employees) to collectively pressure everyone in the country to buy a turkey during the same one-week period.

Rather than all of that stress, I’d rather we collectively agree that it’s just not worth it.

Cook smaller poultry.

It’s easier to cook evenly and it usually tastes better anyway.

This is because the turkey is always so dry.

100% they should. Live your dream, Science Team.

Because the steps for Xitter were :

1. Want a Xitter
2. Go to Xitter
3. Create an account
4. Enjoy(?) Xitter

Even one extra step that adds friction can lead to you just not doing the thing.

Mega-corpos spend billions to reduce the number of steps to your wallet, because they make it back tenfold.

That doesn’t address the other two bullet points.

It’s like tracking an animal moving in tall grass. You don’t need to be able to see the animal directly to tell where it is.

If I can’t disappear completely, there’s enough data points around me that a useful silhouette can be reconstructed from all the surrounding data.

What’s the point?

“They’ve already got my data”

From our site: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/gotmydata.html

The main retort to this is

“No they don’t - they need to continually replenish their profile on you for it to be useful. If you cut off the supply now, then their power fades.” That’s why their data harvesting is so aggressive. It needs to be, otherwise their promise to advertisers of being able to predict what you’ll want, and when you’ll want it, cannot be fulfilled.

You just need to step off the playing field and their game comes grinding to a halt!

I already “get it” and I don’t find this argument too convincing.

If you’re 25 years old and cut them off, they still have :

• your data from the last 24 years
• the data of everyone in your demographic
• the data of your family, friends, and coworkers

(Yes, I get that it’s different if everyone cuts off data harvesting at the same time, but this is about convincing one person.)

Alt text is like putting Braille next to a sign; it’s a tool for the blind (who use screen readers to access alt text).

It’s also a backup when the image fails to load, but it’s not a substitute for making sure the image is legible for people who can see.

If you add a transcription in the body of the post, that should cover your remaining bases.

LTT beat you to the joke.
