It uses my likeness. This might lead people to believe, consciously or not, that I endorse the message, that's the point of the technology.

It doesn't matter if I or my likeness has convinced someone of a view in a practical sense, so does it matter morally?

    Y'know, in my darkest moments, I've taken solace in the fact that suicide would also mean I wouldn't have to partake in capitalism anymore.

    I feel like these people are incredibly disingenuous. If I'm in a hot car and want to make an exaggerated example out of what I think is bad design, I act like these people. If I'm in a hot car, stuck and panicking, I'm thinking about how much a window costs for about half a minute, and then I break a window.

    ... What? I have Ikea furniture that's lasted 10+ years, through 5+ moves including disassembly and reassembly every time. Nothing took more than 20 minutes to assemble, and I definitely believe this furniture can outlive me.
