The censorship makes it worse actually

Some people use quotes for emphasis, though. So, not sure if this faculty’s on our side.

What’s the stuff in the background on the right?

Yeah, it’s Centurii-chan. Here’s their Insta: https://www.instagram.com/centuriichan/

These are very valid arguments that can’t be reduced to a lack of habit. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

Are you american? If so, the “unwieldy and too long” is probably because you’re not used to it. I’m not used to letter-size and it seems weirdly short and unnecessarily wide but I know it’s because I’m just not used to it.

That’s one symptom of car-dependency!

If we had proximity shops minutes away by foot, we wouldn’t do one giant grocery weekly with 30 min commute one way. We’d just buy what we need just passing by.

Another possible interpretation I haven’t seen in the comments: it’s possibly about capitalism under which companies fund school where you learn that it’s normal to be a wage slave or something like that?

Of course. And I’ll continue to do so as long as advertisement is detrimental to my online experience. If it wastes my time by forcing me to watch an ad before a video, if it distracts me from reading a text because of animations, if it tries to scam or shock me, I’m better off blocking it. I’m not against advertisement as communication that a useful product or service exists, I’m against advertisement abuse and greed.

I’ll happily pay for, donate to, or otherwise support services important to me that need and deserve it.
