Late Stage Capitalism, Marketing-Based Privacy Violations (-----)
I'm in a conference call with the company who's product we're replatforming to use, and they're showing off their built-in marketing tools.

None of this is okay. None of it. I feel sick.

"First, slam a batch of espresso. Then, when that wears off, find somewhere you're warm, loved, and completely safe."
"You can really hear the detail in the instruments on this soundsystem" I say as I turn up canyon.mid
Dragony plush thing! Friendly, non-binary, anarcho-syndicalist, ace.
