  • Same reason people buy land and build a house on it: It is in their control. If I host my content on some plattform, I have to bow to their TOS/Tracking/Changes and am more like a tolerated tennant. But they are the HOA that can tell me what they want and do not want regarding content, frontend and backend. I also most possible have to allow them to use my work for their own benefit. If it is free, maybe they profit from you.

    People do not get that having your own URL, your own Email and your own Websites, was the most common thing in the past. I staked my claim like the settlers going west. I own my acre of digital Land. I am free to do what ever I want on my property and nobody can take it away as long as I pay 5$ a year for the domain. That is 50$ in 10 years. That is 400$ for my whole life. For a place that I call mine. My digital Landscape. This is my space. There are many spaces out there, but this is the acre I am gonna develop.

    Of course I could rent a room in the city by giving away my privacy or the control. And there are many good reasons to do this. But having your own piece of the internet is what makes me feeling more like a part of that net and not just be a cow in someone else shed.









  • Buy her a small doll brush for her hairy bodyparts. Set up a daily brushing ritual by annoucing it by ringing a bell for maximum conditioning. Buy small pearls and ornaments, that you weave into the longest of her hairs on her legs and arms. Call her your Afghan Hound. Bark when you cone home. Whenever you watch TV and a Shaving ad runs, visibly, without looking at her, slowly increase the volume and decrease it as slowly when the ad is over. Be obvious. Never talk about it. Have always a big bowl of Kiwis at the dinnertable, that you all shave in her present and be very vocal about how it is very important for you. Put hair in every second dish and make it a constant topic of discussions. Do so at every restaurant visit too. Collect every clog of hair from every drain at home and store it visibly in big masonjars on shelves above the doorframes and label them (with an electronic labelmachine) all with her name. Pay for her and your therapy two years later.
