Oh no.

There’s been runs of new plastic cases by some companies. I considered getting one and putting modern parts inside as a project, but didn’t have the cash at the time. Could be something like that.

Ever notice how any time a Chinese app gets highlighted as being for data harvesting, there’s a bunch of people crawling out of the woodwork to claim “whatabout american apps!?”, but whenever an American app gets the same exposer, noone ever goes “whatabout Chinese apps apps!?”

Highly personalized, targeted ads are more dangerous because they can create tailor made political ads. This was happening with Cambridge Analytica and it’s why having any political discussion online is impossible anymore because you’re never really sure what the other person “knows” anymore. Before that shit, everyone got the same speeches, news and ads.

You also have the blackmail factor. I do consider Chinese officials getting blackmail material on American politicians and businesses more dangerous then American companies doing the same. It’s a small margin, but there is a difference.

The best I can do is minimize how much they get from me, give them bad data and block any ads. The few times I see targeted ads seems to imply they think I’m a conservative woman. Who the hell else would want Concern Carry Yoga Pants?

These data harvesting creating fake profiles to sell to ad companies are not my concern. Let these shit companies cheat each other.

This is just authoritarianism. I’m not a fan of capitalism, but this would look the same regardless of whether it was Trump or Stalin.

Considering the few times I’ve seen targeted ads, it’s never actually relevant to me, I doubt their profile of me is in anyway accurate.

I use blockers so facebook doesn’t know what websites I’m visiting.

Someone should sharpy a ring on the finger.

And if I don’t use facebook?

But it does make ya wonder why he wanted to run for a second term.

Look at the average age of congress. Look at what Dianne Feinstein was doing at the end of her life. They don’t want power. It’s all automatic to them at this point. They don’t know now to do anything else then grab and hold as much power as possible without any reason or purpose.

Do those “legal experts” have the ability to enforce the law?

Doesn’t change that I wish people cared more about when companies shutdown games that they paid for. It cost Epic pennies to keep the master servers running.

Wish people cared this much when Epic shutdown the servers for the Unreal Tournament games.

I checked it out again when reddit did their api fuckery. The progressives left and the libertarians are all that remain. I didn’t stick around long enough to get a better feel for the situation.

Deep State. They’ll blame it on the deep state or “Biden Overhang” or some shit. They’ll always shift the blame and use that anger to bolster their position.

Missing the bot comments that don’t reference anything specific in the original post. Sometimes they reference the title, but not the content.

So you’re liberal until it inconveniences you?

How about instead of outlawing homelessness, we created a housing system for them. Then we can talk about moving them out of parks.

Logically, that means they wont have to pay taxes and can’t be charged with murder. But we know the law wouldn’t be applied logically.

That too.

Btw, do you remember an article written by a queer Black person who critiqued the first special? I’ve been looking for it for a while because it was the most succulent I had found on the matter. One of their criticisms was that Chappelle said that trans was a white person problem.

Being a professional athlete is terrible for long term health, but for different reasons. Sometimes there’s overlap like joint health though.
