    Well, the Jewish Jews are the LORD’s chosen, underdogs who are bravely soldiering the storm, but the American Jews are communist Satan worshippers who’ve sold their souls for control of the world. They’ve been battling for millenia to control the space lasers.

    Also, now that I’ve imagined it, there’s both porn and a Manga of it.

    But the venn diagram of the group of people who take voluntary surveys and the group you want to advertise to have no overlap.

    The problem with ads is that we’re barely removed from the era of all ads being malicious trojans if you clicked one. All ads are still malicious, just less insidious. They’ll silo you off into an echo chamber rather than brick your computer. Some will still brick your computer though.

    I block ads because I don’t want to see ads, but I don’t want to see ads because I don’t trust any of them. Until they fix that, they’ll stay blocked. I don’t care if you’re Google or some boutique website, I’ll block them all.


















  • It’s an interesting stat. Is this individuals or households? Is it “head of household” or is it also counting minors?

    Regardless, there’s enormous disparity.

    The median wealth in India, according to Wikipedia, is $3755. There’s probably hundreds of millions of people there who fall into the less than $380 category.

    Again, Wikipedia, but Africa has just over 700M inhabitants with a median $1242 wealth. That’s $879B. For everyone on the continent. 8 people have 1.5X more wealth than an entire continent full of people.

    But maybe it’s not 3.6B people. Maybe it’s 3B or only 2B people. It’s still not OK.
