I’m not sure we’re understanding each other.
I’m saying you save the interesting content via bookmark before you lose it. If you lose track of it, it wasn’t that interesting. If you have that “wait that reminds me of this post” moment and don’t save it, don’t go treading on my privacy to find your “ah hah” retort.
…and it’s relatively cheap. It’s estimated that Pablo Escobar was pulling in $400,000,000.00 usd per month. That’s easily two US militaries without adjusting for inflation, and the Medellín is paid, AND they still profit. Crazy.
It’s a lot safer to bookmark your own posts/replies than it is to allow easy searching of posts/users across all instances. “Convince” is what got us into the social media hellscape we’re in today.
I will never drink civet coffee. I don’t care if my 110 year old Asian auntie demands it, I’d rather take a house slipper to the ear than drink a cup of shitty coffee.
I’m speaking from the point of view of the app you gave permissions to collect your hardware data. Y’all are talking like I think a MAC is transmitted over tcp. I don’t need an intro to OSI. Those apps use the hardware data to know if you’re using Samsung, LG, Apple, etc and they store large databases of MAC addresses on individuals. They can even build a local hardware profile to see if you sold your device, to whom, and what device you replaced it with.
Counterpoint… Hunting and gathering. That animal you’re eating didn’t kill itself. My trowel kills some of the plants I’m harvesting, and a fruit starts to die once it’s cut from the vine. Destruction is necessary in life. It isn’t automatically an “evil” word. We as a species wouldn’t exist without destruction, death, and decomposition.
Now, whether the existence of humans at all is a good thing, is a question for Nietzsche and Douglas Adams. We aren’t the greatest.
I’m speaking from the point of view of the app you willingly installed that tracks your MAC address. Part of the reason iOS11 implemented built in spoofing, but I can tell you right now, I know Tim Apple ain’t on the users side anymore.
Unless they’re spoofing their MAC address, hardware fingerprinting is much more reliable and predictable. It’s easy to watch a MAC bounce all over the country/world in a matter of minutes.
At this point in history, it’s too late to implement identity protections. Your profile is already built, stored, and backed up. They even know your deleted edgelord MySpace account and that you unfriended Tom (you monster). I guess if you were born in a ditch without a SSN, and never signed up for anything, not even a house/apartment, you could go under the radar.
Thanks for the laugh, friend. What a great movie.

Agreed. Fuck cars. Going from LA to SD on the train is so much more peaceful, has WiFi, 120v, the right of way, and beautiful views.
About nitrous, I knew an Impala guy that pulled us out of the office one day and opened his trunk and points to a spare tire on top of a perfectly carpeted and mounted box. Says “do you know what that is?” Ummm, you’re hiding your no2 from the cops? “How did you know!?” Idiot.
…but you’ve seen a rifle take itself to school and start blasting? Recently I’ve seen a guy plow a car into a group of peaceful protesters and I’ve seen a pack of drones fly themselves into Russian bombers.
Even countries that don’t allow citizen weapons are armed to the teeth because their neighbors are as well. The first time I saw an assault rifle in real life was on some sort of police at a TGV station in France… and if your argument is “yeah but they’re trained police and militaries”, those are some of the most unhinged and unstable people I’ve ever met.
I know we need stricter gun control laws, and I know that societies without citizen weapons have lower to no mass shootings. I know we need free/low cost healthcare. I’m arguing that there’s nothing more dangerous about a rifle over other things in your garage but bump stocks make a rifle dangerous and unpredictable.
The rifle as a tool is just as safe as a log splitter, wood chipper, machete, drone, or the 3000lbs car you hurdle down the highway at 80mph. It’s the operator of those things that can be dangerous.
Bumpstocks, however, make the weapon discharge unexpectedly and is stupid to own or operate.
Hypothetically, let’s say the administration cancels social security. What happens to all of my money I’ve already paid into the system? I’m not at retirement age yet. Are they just going to steal my investment?
Took me an hour and a half of my own time to get ready and commute 30 miles in heavy traffic.
Once at work, I would get invited to the cafeteria to get coffee with the boss, which also turned into a breakfast burrito. As I sat there getting fatter, my boss would mostly talk about his personal life and we’d wander back to my cube.
Other people would congregate around our area catching up on sports ball, check out the women walking through the parking lot.
When things broke the executive IT support guys sat in your lap until you fixed it. Then lunch… some place fatty because their spouses weren’t there to discourage them from the double bbq burger with fries and a few beers.
At this point I’ve done about an hour behind the keyboard. Stay on hold with a vendor for an hour. Then pack up and head 42 minutes home.
NOW, I roll out of bed, get my bowl of yogurt and granola walk over to my office, and I’m heads down and able to concentrate for the next 6 hours. Since the lock downs I’ve increased my work performance and received multiple raises for my efforts. I have more flexibility to watch my kids if they’re sick or on break, and I can get a quickie on my lunch hour… or grocery shop. Thriving indeed.
…assault with a deadly weapon, domestic terrorism to name a few more. Hopefully it means they are going to throw the book at this guy while obviously charging him with attempted murder. The DA just needs a minute to figure out how to kick him in the balls. *speculation
Core memory unlocked. We had the yellow/orange ones in our back yard. I don’t know who showed me or why, but I knew how to squeeze that one drop of honey. Showed my daughters by making the dragon “talk” and from that day on, I never saw a flowering blossoms ever again.
Besides them voting for Trump, another problem is that the big dogs like Kroger and Walmart have started stocking more international foods. Growing up in an Asian family through the 80’s, we waited for that care package from the homelands or we stuffed our return suitcases FULL of ingredients and left our clothes behind. It was the only easy way to get the flavors.

My great grand kids will know exactly how lame I was.
DESTROYED, even.
The cocktail wieners tasted funny. I think it was the Brazilian rosewood toothpicks soaked in cognac, and covered in gold leaf. Billie had 16!
