This week on HWIDG we've ordered a truckload of beef and we're flinging it right into your faces! But uh-oh what's that? Is it the British Meat Industry? No, it's not, yet somehow, a bunch of horse got lumped in there! Well don't worry because we're serving you that too! Two great tastes that taste great together! Horsebeef!
- ISPs
- Pills
- Pop-Ups
- Being Behind The Curve
In this day and age the internet is a necessity. Like water, or shelter. Even hobos that don't have shelter have CashApp or Venmo! But we've let the giant media conglomerates have it and they got their penny-pinching, greedy, lobbyist-funding paws all over it! They do the absolute minimum amount of work so they can rack up those bucks just to give you the privelage of paying your bills, or answering a work email, or choking your chicken to pics of chicks getting choked. Do you suffer from endometriosis? Well then you should GO TO YOUR DOCTOR. What you shouldn't be doing is watching TV waiting for PharmCorp to sell you their newest pill for it. Can you imagine the audacity of your average Joe going to a medical professional and telling *them* that they think Nexica is right for them? Buddy, the side effects are drowning in your own piss and death. Well, on second thought...
Remember internet and pop-ups? Of course you do. It's not that long ago that thy were a plague of locusts on the world wide web. Then we exterminate them. Because everyone hated them. 20 years later? They're back baby! Like a bad Aliens sequel, popups are back to ruin your life, and in greater numbers than ever before! News sites with paywall pop-ups, anti-ad-blocker popups, Cookies? Please let us bake some cookies in your PC pop-ups, and USE THE APP YOU MOBILE PLEBE pop-ups. And no one cares I guess!
Being ahead/behind the curve originates from bell curve graphs, but you know what, I get the feeling that most people couldn't draw one of those, let alone understand one. So let's make a new explanation. You're driving on a mountainous road. There's a sharp curve ahead, if you're AHEAD of the curve you can see what's coming, but if you're BEHIND the curve you'll plow into the semitruck that you couldn't see even though it was honking it's horn the whole time because you refused to slow down or stop or make any change at all.
