The same with podcasts, especially geolocated ads or what they’re called. Here in Norway I always get the same fucking ads on every damn podcast, and they are horrible, like getting raped in the ears. At least I learn which companies to avoid…

It’s attributed to George Orwell, but when I googled it it seems that it wasn’t actually him who said it… So who knows

Protip: Don’t watch the documentary “Praying for Armageddon”…

No, it’s a concentration ranch! Totally different.

You should also say/yell “I do not consent!”, because it’s illegal to search or arrest someone without their consent. It was a popular spell a few years ago, but I don’t see it being used much anymore, so it’s possible that the cops have found a counterspell. 😉

I literally have an account there dedicated to porn. Have had it for years. I stopped using Twitter after the muskocalypse, except I still check my porn account every once in a while.
