  • Makes sense and sounds so nice

    We locally choose our very best to go represent our interests. And it would be in our interest to have an experienced, educated, honest judge. So one would think that our politician is spending time researching, discussing, and vetting along with the other best minds from around the country.

    But we never get to choose our best. Or at least our best is outnumbered and voiceless.


















  • Go into app or play store and sort by most downloaded. They’re pretty exclusively a list of games and apps that you find advertised.

    I’m my circle, people are seeming to become more willing to admit they got something from an ad. I feel like there used to be shame behind it

    The most frequent lately has been women buying their clothes from Instagram ads. The argument they have made is that they see SO MANY ads, the one they choose to spend money on was because they wanted it and that apparently is a solid vetting process. But this is people in my sphere, I dunno if it’s a thing.

    I used a Google TV stick and for sick of the bullshit ads and switched to a simple launcher. In reddit and lemmy threads, there are always highly up voted people who are happy to get “popular recommendations”.

    The generality, I feel like, is people are busy living their lives, don’t want to research and learn about everything in their life, and just go with what they see.
