@Futh
Agreed

@M4Gunner
Yeah

it's going to be really hard to hold peoples' feet to the fire. I guess you don't need the majority to do so, but it'll be hard to really assess how many it takes.

and yeah, a lot of corporations will straight up pursue their/their sponsors' ideological goals and slants despite protest because you can't mobilize energy indefinitely. activism requires fuel and people have lives.

they'll just outlast them.

@Futh
Yeah

I think the topic of "breaking up" big companies came up last night?

Personally, I think it's sketchy territory with a lot of risk to give the state an inch and cede a mile but it'd probably improve things

at least if limited to a google-sized entity.

@Futh
I won't disagree, but i won't agree

it's definitely dangerous territory

Still, Google might be doing things far worse than what Facebook did

at the very least, I don't want it to be the tool used. but I'd carefully keep it as a backup plan

duckduckgo already exists

but the problem is too few people really seem to be looking to get off of google.

they're integrated

it's at the point of habit or home

that's a high hurdle. not impossible tho

Hi Fat Mong Spag

jello hello mellow yellow

How are you doing tonight?

mostly alright. about to start drinking

and myspace was a multi-service to boot

Good to hear

Make sure you drink a lot

I haven't fully de-googled myself, purely because of the sheer, raw, pain in the ass it would be.

To stay hydrated

I think this will *de*hydrate me

I want to be boozed up for when I go to korean BBQ today

Korean BBQ sounds bad

You should probably go to an Argentinian one

is there one of those here?

I don't know where you are

But check in google

oh

I saw a place on google but they don't open til 5pm

So it isn't an actual BBQ organized by Koreans?

OX Restaurant

Ok

Can I ask for a favor Gunner?

I need you to check what's up with Reaps ignoring me

It's your business because you are my friend
