But this was 2019, why did she go quiet on (the website formerly known as) twitter so recently? And what did she mean by getting “wings clipped” in the tweet?

here’s the original publication: meltingasphalt.com/ads-dont-work-that-way/

…i’m not sure what you’re getting at, maybe i didnt summarize properly. give the article a read and see if it makes sense to ya.

the article very clearly explains that. Give it a read, it’s not that long.

…but if you aren’t going to read it, the summary is that the way we think ads work, associating brands with positive emotions (termed “emotional inception” in this article), is bollocks. Instead, they rely on “cultural imprinting”, i.e. associating the brand with a kind of person or situation. For example, corona is the beer for relaxing on the beach, nike and gatorade are for athletes. So, if you want to relax with some homies, you drink corona. If you value athletic performance, you drink gatorade and wear nike shoes. Major exceptions apply, please just read the article.

i know of copyleft, but im not sure i like MIT(+other lenient licenses) or GPL. MIT makes my code free for the taking for any big corpos (not that im cool enough for that to happen, but hypothetically) and i’d like to inconvenience them at every opportunity. yet GPL would be a pain for normal smaller devs who just want to use or modify my stuff without license headaches.

but i’m probably overthinking it, aint nobody using my shitty ass code 🙃

TIL about that loophole. im weary of using GPL because i dont want to inconvenience average joes who want to include and redistribute my work while using a different license for other bits. but if my mind is changed i would want to use Affero, thanks!

supposedly, the many banned terms were quickly unbanned, but further reading would require being able to read Chinese. which i can’t.

for comrades braver than me, here’s br*tmonkey’s source list for the video: https://pastebin.com/qNQbXyUE

and the source for “letter N was banned” (from the guardian, notorious source of Unbiased™ reporting about china): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/feb/28/china-bans-the-letter-n-internet-xi-jinping-extends-power

it’s the “i’m almost enjoying my anger!” mood, the deliberate exposure to things you don’t like for the catharsis and/or sense of superiority that’s not unique to internet libs, see also ‘shit X says’ communities that exist everywhere under the sun.

…and liberals once again thinking their votes matter 😎

really just said “nuh uh” 😭 how did you stumble into lemmygrad

save yourself the braincells and dont bother learning anything about “breadtubers”. destiny is just another one of them, and you’re better off knowing nothing more than that.

take it from a programmer, folks: knowing how to make computer do magic doesnt equate to general intelligence or automatically make one better at unrelated things like politics. computer shit is a skill like any other that just happens to have a (false) connotation of “high intelligence” whatever that means.

sorry fellow nerds, you aint special. read lenin.
