Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Not as easy as all that; not if you want to do it *right*.
That would require finding out who their advertisers are, and informing *them* that you are going to boycott *them* as long as they continue advertising there.

If you don't read his shit, he couldn't care less: You didn't before either; and more importantly, you didn't *generate any click-through revenue* before either -- so he's not losing a single millionth of a cent from you just not *reading* him. (On the contrary, that's a fraction of a zillionth of a cent of *savings* for him, the bandwidth that you aren't using.)

But scaring off his advertisers, that *may* hit him where it hurts: In the wallet.

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot. Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575|Ashton Brown]
