    the “finding lost pets” shit is that type of manipulative evil you can only find in a capitalist dystopia. “sadly you all have some sort of rights so we can’t technically fully just spy on you. but if we tell you that we’ll find your kid’s lost puppy then you’ll let us spy on you of your own free will”

    thank god that ad was so creepy it went over the line and got the normies questioning

      I was watching the Superbowl Big Game muted because I was tuned in to Hasan-Felix-Noah-Pablo-bowl like a real sicko, but I saw that ad in the background and immediately clocked how fucked up it was. I’m genuinely encouraged that this seems to have been the mainstream reaction.

        The reaction is better than you think.
