Tell us all about it then, colonel

Considering their idea of peace is the total capitulation of their opponent and systematic erasure of its population, I dont see what tangible benefit inviting them would be.

You just need to do more drugs

I'm swinging back in the other direction and refusing to serve rednecks and people with navy suits and red ties.

Have you seen how much sugar those hicks put into their tea though? It's gotta be hot because they put coca cola grade amounts of sugar, to the point where it wont dissolve in the water anymore. Sweet tea contains 36-38 grams of sugar per 16 oz. That's a fucking soft drink.

It should be taxed on the corporate side. Taxing sugar on the consumer side becomes a poor tax, because poor people will still want sweets from time to time, making those treats now more and more expensive. Well off people will just accept the tax because it's marginal to them, but when your chocolate bar that you treat yourself to once a week goes from 1.29 to 3.29, then it really fucks your day up.

What should be done is incentives to provide less sugar/glucose-fructose on the product side and encourage companies to make snacks and beverages that have less sugar content.

I loved Geocities. I personally had like five different pages on it, including one that acted like a virtual tour of a video game world I used to play where you would navigate through map screens and could "talk" to characters. My friends and I would also have a communal page, which worked like our own mini-reddit where we would post cool shit, and then webring to our individual sites. I also currently have an ad-free website, which I operate and create all the content for myself.

The last time I remember watching television must've been the early 2000s, and I remember watching a movie on TBS. They used to have commercial blocks every 20 minutes or so, which was a little annoying still, but at this point watching a movie was a commercial break every 5-8 minutes. It wasn't enough to get through a single scene sometimes, which is like somebody snatching a book out of your hand to tell you about products for three minutes as you're mid-chapter.

I started just buying DVDs instead and ended up with a great little library full of movies that I hand picked and all the special features that came with them. If the internet turns into what TV was like in those days, I'll simply start blocking sites that run heavy with ads and only white-list websites that respect an ad-free ecosystem.

Especially when its blocking all the ad bloat that chrome runs on... What in the fuck are these people smoking?

Absolutely untrue. People run websites and pay for their servers themselves. People inherently want to post stuff on the internet and many websites don't have ads at all. Think of pretty much every old blog that used to exist, or every portfolio page for an artist. I will simply stop using Google's internet and that will be that. I pretty much already have to be honest, Google results are absolute dog shit.

Yeah, but doing that won't get them bonuses for hitting KPIs. They let the malware through because it means the company buying the adspace is buying adspace. Everything else doesn't factor into their targets and quarterly goals.

Yeah, 100%. I would pretty much rather just use whatever underground internet pops up to replace the advertising based one. Advertisements are one of those things that I absolutely cannot stand.
