coming down hard

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

And fat liberation says "It's okay to be fat!" and fat people say "I'm happy being fat and I don't try to become skinny!"

And it scares people that that is an option. It scares people to think that they have sunk so much time, so much effort, so much misery into avoiding being fat. And this person in front of them is just... not even trying. Rejecting the game. Saying You Don't Have To Do That.

If they accept that they didn't have to do that... then they made themselves so unhappy, for so long, for no reason.

They want their effort, their unhappiness, to have been worth it. To have meant something.

Much of the time when I'm talking about fatphobia, I'm talking specifically about medical fatphobia and my experiences struggling to access treatment for various issues - like how I now have eight screws and a metal plate in my right ankle, because I broke it, the first surgeon refused to do the surgery I needed and dismissed me because I'm fat, and so I needed a much more invasive surgery five years later.

It is telling, I think, that when I talk about those things I invariably get a lot of replies going "You can't make me want to fuck fat people! >:(" and assorted comments about how gross fat people's bodies are.

First of all, bold of you to assume I'd want to fuck YOU.

Deeply weird thing to frame an issue about access to medical care in terms of "Do I want to fuck this person?", you know, the human rights issues I was talking about. "Only people I think are hot should have access to competent, appropriate medical treatment and human rights" is not the slay you think it is.

I had a friend who'd had suicidal ideation since she was a small child who refused to increase her antidepressants - which made her want to not die - to a therapeutic dose because "but what if I gain more weight?"

This shit kills people, and they want to talk about "Ew, I think your body's gross".

President Donald Trump is engaging in a “huge miscalculation” by dismissing the bipartisan group of lawmakers pushing the government to release more of the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the latest reminder of her growing status as a Trump critic inside the GOP.

Greene, speaking with CBS Mornings on Friday, reiterated her belief that the president did not engage in any wrongdoing during his friendship with the late sex offender, but said she felt the White House has been wrong in dismissing Republicans seeking more information as “stupid.”
