  • I’m going to be the odd one out on this.

    I prefer ultra customized recommendations, I wish they were even smarter. Especially if I’ve already bought something, I want them to know so they stop advertising that product to me.

    I’d rather see ads for products that I may actually buy rather than for shit I don’t have the slightest interest in.

    I rarely buy products without significant research, so ads aren’t likely to trick me into buying something of poor quality. I just need to have awareness of things I don’t even know exist.











  • Except that’s not a good analogy.

    How many people would you be willing to have the military kill to get your child back if they had been taken hostage?

    If the kidnappers were hiding behind their own family, with their family knowing they’ve done an evil thing, would that change your answer?

    I know I wouldn’t care how many they had to take out, my child is worth worth more to me than terrorists (and their supporters) lives.

    Would I prefer they don’t take out women and children while getting my child back? Of course, but the whole point of using human shields is to make it difficult to do just that.

    The Israelis got 4 hostages back today, and it looks like there were around 200 Palestinian casualties to do so. Too bad for them.
