I've been halfheartedly saying I'm going to start a religion based on ads being bad for one's soul. It makes more sense every day.

How do you intend to acquire a congregation?

If he tells you, he'd be advertising and that's against his religion.

[–] interrobang@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 year ago

Just live the principals and you're already a congregant, my child

[–] tyler@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

That’s not advertising, that’s prosthelytizing. Advertising has to be for goods and services. And just telling someone about something isn’t advertising. It’s when you spend money or resources to bring attention to that thing that it counts as advertising. People keep saying that putting a sign on your building stating the company name is advertising. It’s not.

By advertising. So it is now officially a religion since it's full of hypocrites.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Checkmate, atheists!

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

is there public awareness that isn't advertising?

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, this isn’t advertising. It’s proselytizing. Advertising has to be for goods and services and it has to be explicit. Me telling you about the company I work for isn’t advertising.

Unlock Origin*

From now on, referring to it incorrectly is considered herecy and punishable by up to 17 whip lashes.

Edit: not gonna fix the typo, I'll take my lashes

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was about to join untill the whiplashes. I prefer something bit more laid back

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Perhaps we can interest you in some gentle tongue lashes?

[–] olutukko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Please add me to that newsletter, and may the billboards be cast from your sight, brother!

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

With that, you could sue Google and other companies pushing anti-adblocker tech for discrimination, just bring up all the cases when the supreme court sided with cristofascists to oppress other people.
