Im trying to think about what to not do about them. I’m thinking I absolutely should NOT buy a high powered laser pointer and fry the lens. But I also should not saw the pole down because the metal weed sprouted right next to a major highway and I would def. not get caught for the thing I wont do. Maybe I could not purchase some kind of interfering light or license plate cover for my truck, but idk how well those actually work. Maybe I could pressure city council; that worked in a few other cities in my state so why not? IDK. But I should MOST CERTAINLY not use pawpaw’s 30-06 to just blow it to smithereens. Anyone got suggestions that I should NOT do?

Only time I ever did was when one guy brandished his gun at me because his pizza took a long time to get delivered

There will always be ways to circumvent censorship and shit. Get a VPN and uTorrent and we’ll get what we want.

Censorship in the USA has a long history including: HUAC, Hays Code, Blue Laws, PMRC, McCarthyism, the Satanic Panic, etc. Controversial media survived all that stuff and will continue to do so

You hit the nail on the head. The enshittification is real.

I’m a diehard Astros fan. Game tickets are still pretty affordable but everything else is expensive af. When I was living in Austin where Astros games weren’t really syndicated on TV, I still couldn’t watch them even if I subscribed to MLB.TV because I was in their blackout area. They make it a pain in the ass to even watch games and then they wonder why MLB attendance is down.

I’m still a big fan of all my teams but I really only casually follow sports at this time. You can still be a sports fan while not taking it super seriously.
