I rarely get ads, thanks to pihole. But whenever my server is down for maintenance etc. I get spammed with "Visit the USA!" and "America the Beautiful" ads. I live in Australia... Why the fuck would I want to visit that shithole country?
It seems like the US is drowning and is trying desperately to get more people in to replace the "illegals" they're deporting. Maybe I'm just their target audience (straight, white, male) ughh.... makes me feel gross.
Just a different kind of gambling ad. Gamble your life for a discounted trip to Disney World. Will you make it big or get sent to El Salvador?
Hi, American here. Please never come here. While YOU would be mostly safe, we are still a dumpster fire.
Eh, if we manage to get our shit together I encourage everyone to visit our national parks. It's not safe now or for the foreseeable future, but if it is in the future, they really are something to behold.
Before trump 2 electric boogaloo this was one of my biggest dreams..

youtube accounts should be authenticated to a human being in an organisation and those details be public to save democracy
No. Education should be better funded. I'll give social media platforms my ID when hell freezes over.
Be very, very careful in advocating for that.
I am just curious, what is making you gross?
existing is enough to feel guilty now, apparently.
