We need training from ex-KGB officers

2018-03-26 04:19:48 UTC

how to differentiate the proletariat

2018-03-26 04:19:57 UTC

separate the wheat from the chaff

2018-03-26 04:23:20 UTC

I think if we knocked off 1/4 of the deaths it'd be an impressive feat

2018-03-26 04:23:27 UTC

and I think it's a reasonable amount

2018-03-26 04:28:13 UTC

we need genetic engineering to create waifus with purple, pink and blue hair

2018-03-26 04:29:11 UTC

no fuck the weebs

2018-03-26 04:29:16 UTC

we need femboy foxes

2018-03-26 04:29:23 UTC

and femboy reindeers

2018-03-26 04:29:27 UTC

๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ’ฆ

2018-03-26 04:29:35 UTC

I'm not sure I want to go that far

2018-03-26 04:29:45 UTC

but weeb waifus can be a stepping stone

2018-03-26 04:29:49 UTC

my fursona is unironically a reindeer tbh

2018-03-26 04:30:00 UTC

santa dom

2018-03-26 04:30:07 UTC

lolnopls

2018-03-26 04:30:14 UTC

big purple dragon dom

2018-03-26 07:51:15 UTC

Degeneracy? In my discord? Boy, I never...

2018-03-26 09:57:53 UTC

forced memes are gay

2018-03-26 17:55:33 UTC

I think a major scandal is about to break with facebook

2018-03-26 17:55:38 UTC

another one

2018-03-26 17:55:46 UTC

Or it already has but hasnt been addressed

2018-03-26 17:56:05 UTC

Facebook has the phone number and sms and call metadata on people who never agreed to share it

2018-03-26 17:56:22 UTC

This might be a violation of eavesdropping laws

2018-03-26 17:56:40 UTC

But then, the person who agreed to share it with facebook is violatiing the privacy of their friend

2018-03-26 17:58:49 UTC

Facebook openly tracks the browsing data of anyone and everyone that so much as visits any site with a 'share' or 'like' button on it, regardless of them even having an account, let alone having been given permission.

2018-03-26 18:01:09 UTC

I never trusted Facebook, but this is worse then I expected.

2018-03-26 18:05:46 UTC

yus! i can finally drag all my friends into court for violating my privacy!

2018-03-26 18:05:53 UTC

It always scared me with the ammount of data Facebook collected on its users.

2018-03-26 18:06:17 UTC

to be fair, its not as much collecting as people legit throwing their personal information at facebook

2018-03-26 18:09:34 UTC

I know, I never could belive how people could share all that info about themselves

2018-03-26 18:09:44 UTC

Look out for a Discord user by the name of :

"Frost Wolf" ---with the tag-- #4876

He is going around sending friend requests to random Discord users, and those who accept his friend requests will have their accounts DDoSed and their groups exposed with the members inside it becoming a victim aswell. Spread the word and send this to as many discord servers as you can. If you see this user,
DO NOT accept his friend request and immediately block him.

-Discord team @everyone
Copy and paste this to all of the servers you are in

2018-03-26 18:46:35 UTC

Delet this. ^ ^ ^

2018-03-26 18:47:12 UTC

but seriously, if that were real, and really from the 'Discord Team', it would've been handled already... Don't be a tool.

2018-03-26 18:48:17 UTC

it's a copypasta

2018-03-26 18:48:23 UTC

seen it tons before

2018-03-26 19:00:22 UTC

I figured as much.

2018-03-26 19:16:48 UTC

They could have at least gotten my name right.

2018-03-26 19:26:22 UTC

I suspected our views on things were a little TOO compatible Jaden ๐Ÿ”ซ , or should i say, Frost Wallmart!!

2018-03-26 19:27:17 UTC

Foiled again!

2018-03-26 19:27:28 UTC

I'll get you next time O Magoo!!

2018-03-26 19:27:32 UTC

**NEXT TIME!!**

2018-03-26 20:37:29 UTC

So damn glad I never bought in to Facebook Messenger. I still, reluctantly, have a facebook profile. :\

2018-03-26 20:37:44 UTC

I deleted my facebook a long time ago.

2018-03-26 20:38:01 UTC

I basically HAVE to have a facebook profile. :/

2018-03-26 20:38:09 UTC

Family/job?

2018-03-26 20:38:16 UTC

Starting a business.

2018-03-26 20:38:22 UTC

a media business.

2018-03-26 20:38:25 UTC

Oh.

2018-03-26 20:38:27 UTC

Yeah.

2018-03-26 20:38:29 UTC

R.I.P.

2018-03-26 20:38:56 UTC

I wonder if there will come a time, if it isn't already here, where not having any social media accounts to spy on will be a 'red flag' to employers.

2018-03-26 20:39:49 UTC

I mean... maybe?

2018-03-26 20:39:49 UTC

"No facebook, no twitter... oh, but he has a Gab account? Well then... *next!*"

2018-03-26 20:40:07 UTC

I've always valued internet anonymity.

2018-03-26 20:40:11 UTC

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it gets to that point.

2018-03-26 20:41:14 UTC

Yeah, we do, but there's a new trend arising of watching people's other/out-of-work activities. I remember back when this kind of thing first started when someone I know got fired from Subway for comments she made while off-duty *about* Subway.

2018-03-26 20:42:08 UTC

I mean, that qualifies as a conflict of interests

2018-03-26 20:42:31 UTC

*Everyone* complains about their job at one point or another, though.

2018-03-26 20:42:32 UTC

Some employers do include disparagement clauses, as well.

2018-03-26 20:42:48 UTC

Well, sure.

2018-03-26 20:42:50 UTC

Even if it's in passing.

2018-03-26 20:43:53 UTC

The thing is, with social media, we've been toying with something that's EXTREMELY powerful, and yet we've been taking it for granted.

2018-03-26 20:44:47 UTC

We don't really think about it, but when we post something on Twitter, or on Facebook, we've basically got the same potential as an advertiser does.

2018-03-26 20:45:10 UTC

That's the difference between posting stuff on social media and saying something with a group of friends.

2018-03-26 20:45:46 UTC

If that guy at Subway got a private text he sent to a friend, and fired them over that text

2018-03-26 20:45:54 UTC

or a recorded conversation bitching about work

2018-03-26 20:45:57 UTC

and got fired over that

2018-03-26 20:46:01 UTC

100% in the guy's corner

2018-03-26 20:46:13 UTC

but when you post something on Facebook

2018-03-26 20:46:24 UTC

You've sent a message into the ether, and you no longer control it.

2018-03-26 20:46:38 UTC

Someone could share it, and then it's gone.

2018-03-26 20:46:41 UTC

I understand that, but it still sets a precedent.

2018-03-26 20:50:35 UTC

I mean, yeah, it does, but Subway, the franchise owner, the district manager, the store manager - they're all required to protect their brand, and someone complaining specifically about Subway when they're paid by them, on social media where the wrong thing could take off beyond even the poster's control, It's a conflict of interest and a risk of brand deprecation.

2018-03-26 20:51:05 UTC

I 100% understand why they did it. We're playing with powerful toys when it comes to social media.

2018-03-26 20:53:16 UTC

Maybe they shouldn't give their employees a reason to complain then? Even just firing her over a comment could be seen in and of itself as bad practice. It shows underhandedness and might add legitimacy to the person's claim, where there otherwise might not be.
This isn't even to mention in this particular case where she wasn't going around saying 'Subway sucks' or something. It was years ago now, but if I remember she was complaining about her schedule.

2018-03-26 20:54:11 UTC

well, I mean, I don't know the nature of the complaint

2018-03-26 20:54:32 UTC

But complaining about work is something EVERYONE does, as you said before.

2018-03-26 20:55:19 UTC

Yeah, and this was too small of a case, never got attention, and me being your only source can barely remember why. Perhaps she complained in the wrong way or said it in such a way where it could be seen another.

2018-03-26 20:56:28 UTC

And it actually derailed the main point a bit: that there's this trend coming up of platforms monitoring their users (or jobs monitoring their employees) while off of that platform of off-duty from that job.

2018-03-26 20:56:37 UTC

As someone who's a business owner, and has been an assistant manager in the past, I can say it would probably depend on the manner in which she complained. if she called Subway out by name, that would be a degree worse than just saying 'Work Sucks'.

2018-03-26 20:56:40 UTC

Like Twitch monitoring people's activity on twitter and the like.

2018-03-26 20:57:19 UTC

Yeah, no, I see your point there

2018-03-26 20:57:29 UTC

There's a point where it crosses a line from protecting a brand

2018-03-26 20:57:35 UTC

into policing your employees

2018-03-26 20:57:46 UTC

or in the case of twitch, contractors.

2018-03-26 20:57:53 UTC

Maybe the work thing was kind of a bad example of my part, because there are good cases and bad cases of that happening.

2018-03-26 20:58:41 UTC

Like, if I got fired for saying, by name, my employer sucks and nobody should use the service, and talk about what a tool one of our customers are, and release information like that

2018-03-26 20:58:55 UTC

That's damaging to my employer, they have every right to fire me

2018-03-26 20:59:14 UTC

But if I simply repost a spicy meme

2018-03-26 20:59:25 UTC

I shouldn't get called into the manager's office over that.

2018-03-26 20:59:28 UTC

I guess, but if it's something like "I hate my work hours" or something, that is much more inocuous.

2018-03-26 21:00:30 UTC

I think the main issue in this discussion is that people are too accustomed to social media being their new "friend/audience"

That they forget that posting on open social media isn't
"Talking to friends" as much as "Announcing to the world"

And as chat is open to interpretation, their followers see it more as a point of noteworthy discussion
Aka, a complaint isn't letting off steam, but a genuine complaint

2018-03-26 21:00:59 UTC

Jay put that quite well.

2018-03-26 21:01:17 UTC

It also comes down to what was said and how it's said.

2018-03-26 21:01:25 UTC

100%.

2018-03-26 21:03:12 UTC

Oh yeah, my main point was if we would ever reach the point where a lack of social media accounts would ever in and of itself be a red flag to employers, because then there would be nothing for them of you to monitor.

2018-03-26 21:04:02 UTC

oh that will definately happen,

"bad" branded social media will give you negative rep

2018-03-26 21:04:19 UTC

like if you're on Gab, a "notorious alt-right blabla" form of twitter

2018-03-26 21:04:24 UTC

Like having no facebook or twitter, but having Gab account.

2018-03-26 21:05:31 UTC

that will definately happen,

people are alraedy vilified for following "the wrong" person

2018-03-26 21:06:16 UTC

My Gab account, for instance, if they actually looked into it would find that I'm pretty much just one of two Nintendo news outlets on there.
But would they even look? lol

2018-03-26 21:06:34 UTC

depends on if you use your real life info on gab ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-03-26 21:07:04 UTC

Which brings up another point: what if your social media accounts don't use your real name or identity?

2018-03-26 21:07:21 UTC

well as long as they remain anonymous, they'll never know

2018-03-26 21:07:22 UTC

Like, again, my Gab account being "JadenFrostwolf", not my real name and face.

2018-03-26 21:08:05 UTC

well if they'd google your name, you wouldn't show up on gab, so you'd be safe

2018-03-26 21:08:37 UTC

Hopefully that is all they care about.

2018-03-26 21:08:54 UTC

until all the bad people do it, then the left will push for banning anonimity

2018-03-26 21:09:29 UTC

Kind of like what's going on right now with the MoneyBadgers calling out Metikur for being anonymous. lol

2018-03-26 21:10:05 UTC

i haven't picked up on that one yet

2018-03-26 21:10:21 UTC

but yeah, if they demand the "trolls" get revealed, then you'll get a shitstorm

2018-03-26 21:10:47 UTC

Metikur and Randomercam got into a bit of a spat in the comment's section of one of Metikur's videos -- the one where he's talking about a pedophile that's also autistic?

2018-03-26 21:11:02 UTC

Destiny? ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-03-26 21:11:07 UTC

Randomercam apparently had issue with Metikur calling him autistic, even though he actually was, or something?

2018-03-26 21:11:42 UTC

I only have Metikur's perspective of this, since Randomercam I don't think has talked about it.

2018-03-26 21:13:04 UTC

*Allegedly*, Randomercam made continual and consistent passive-aggressive twitter comments about Metikur, before finally Metikur called him out on it, asking him to come to a livestream to talk about it in the internet equivalent of 'face-to-face.'

2018-03-26 21:13:12 UTC

And Randomercam wouldn't do it.

2018-03-26 21:13:41 UTC

The Honeybadgers jumped in and eventually one of them came into an IBS stream to confront Metikur.

2018-03-26 21:13:45 UTC

You can imagine how well that went.

2018-03-26 21:14:28 UTC

I only know Metikour to be a very sharp wildcard

2018-03-26 21:15:20 UTC

Ever since then the 'MoneyBadgers' have been at war with Metikur, to the point where they've even 'inspired' him to do a video series on the MRM.

2018-03-26 21:16:27 UTC

yay, internet drama

2018-03-26 21:16:30 UTC

That nickname came about during the IBS stream where the person that came to 'defend' Randomercam didn't really do it that well, and seemed much more interested in informing everyone about their court cases and their patreons and fundraisers? She didn't actually really do much in the stream.

2018-03-26 21:17:38 UTC

Anyway, the initial point was that Karen Straughn (I know I butchered that name at some point) and the other HoneyBadgers are complaining that Metikur is 'hiding' behind his anonymous internet presence.

2018-03-26 21:18:10 UTC

His video explains it way better than I could. lol

2018-03-26 21:18:22 UTC

well ofc he is, he'd be a fool not to

2018-03-26 21:18:35 UTC

I have a tendency or either forget details or put them in in the wrong place, accidentally creating a faulty timeline?

2018-03-26 21:18:55 UTC

I'm pretty sure that's the gist of it, though.

2018-03-26 21:18:56 UTC

could be, doesn't really matter

I get the gist of it ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-03-26 21:20:10 UTC

Anyway, moral of the story: don't poke the bear... especially if that bear is named Mister Metikur...

2018-03-26 21:20:27 UTC

at the risk of sounding like a kafka trap

their complaining about his anonimity only proves anonimity is necessary

2018-03-26 21:20:41 UTC

It's true though. lol

2018-03-26 21:21:10 UTC

cuz if you want to debate him on facts/truth, or ideals, philosophy etc

you don't need his real info

2018-03-26 21:21:17 UTC

I mean, even if what *half* of Dean Esmay said about the HoneyBadgers is true, I've lost all respect for them.

2018-03-26 21:21:56 UTC

i followed 0% of the honeybadgers, i only know them as some group that was affected by the rabid feminists during the gamergate era

2018-03-26 21:22:46 UTC

Randomercam is a honeybadger I think, and his stuff is pretty good. I've tried to listen to one or two of their podcasts, but it wsa kind of boring.

2018-03-26 21:23:30 UTC

most podcasts are boring imo, but maybe its cuz hardly any hit a niche i liked

2018-03-26 21:23:57 UTC

All I know is they've had to withdraw and reapply their lawsuit about 8 times since they keep accidentally suing the wrong entity, and they're using a disbarred lawyer to represent them.

2018-03-26 21:24:01 UTC

but not timcast, oh no, its the single greatest ever, truelies ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

2018-03-26 21:24:47 UTC

nah, after the Ricky Gervais show podcast i haven't found any that i dedicatedly listen to ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-03-26 21:25:16 UTC

Yeah, sometimes I'll turn on Kumite if it's already on, or a Warski Live if it's an interesting topic.

2018-03-26 21:25:27 UTC

Like, I would watch Sargon vs Spencer 2 if that ever happened.

2018-03-26 21:26:24 UTC

i doubt it will tbh, they've both said their things

Richard Spencer is a lunatic
the pro-alt right will side with Spencer as having "won"
the anti-alt right will side with Sargon as having "won"

and its just another hour of two people going "No YOU are the idiot for thinking <this>"

2018-03-26 21:27:15 UTC

and yes i soley base his lunacy on the fact he wants to bring something akin of Feudalism/Monarchy to the Western world

2018-03-26 21:27:18 UTC

I would pay to see Kyle Kulinski vs Mike Enoch, though.

2018-03-26 21:28:07 UTC

Richard Spencer and that definition of the Alt Right were only given power by the media. Before that, they were literal whos.

2018-03-26 21:28:24 UTC

Yeah.

2018-03-26 21:28:35 UTC

Before the 2016 cycle, nobody fucking knew any groups other than the KKK and maybe the Aryan Brotherhood.

2018-03-26 21:29:01 UTC

but now the deeper groups are convenient for grouping in stuff like the Proud Boys.

2018-03-26 21:29:15 UTC

well afaik, there is no "solid" definition of the alt-right considering half of the prominent people of it are anti-jews and the other half are jews themselves and some of them want to pay people to go live in shitholes ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-03-26 21:29:25 UTC

I understand the existence of the Aryan Brotherhood, tbh.

2018-03-26 21:29:32 UTC

Oh hey, Identity Europa is dark and mysterious. Also this Gavin guy....

2018-03-26 21:29:43 UTC

In prison people separate themselves off by race, so it only makes sense in that environment.

2018-03-26 21:30:25 UTC

but Aryans are blonde haired blue eyed ubermenschen

2018-03-26 21:31:45 UTC

and yes Rye, at this point Alt-Right is just a term for "not a communist"

2018-03-26 21:32:26 UTC

when in reality the only people considering themselves alt-right are actually white ethnostate socialists

2018-03-26 21:32:35 UTC

making them left

2018-03-26 21:33:00 UTC

Yeah, well, in prison, I don't think a bunch of atomized individuals will do very well against racial collectives intent on dominance of their space and shanking opposition.

2018-03-26 21:33:50 UTC

true, and you're probably right, but aryan brotherhood seems like a poor tag in my eyes ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-03-26 21:34:21 UTC

White Walkers, now theres a good term for a white only prison gang

2018-03-26 21:36:03 UTC

We should enforce diversity quotas upon them.

2018-03-26 21:36:54 UTC

Let's call them racist

2018-03-26 21:37:07 UTC

That'll work!

2018-03-26 21:56:07 UTC

wildcard, bitches

2018-03-26 21:56:44 UTC

The thing that bemuses me this whole left-wing/right-wing nonsense is Scotland. As far as I can tell, they're a more left leaning part of the UK on the whole, but have elected a nationalist socialist party into power, and recently declared that mocking nazis is a hate crime.

2018-03-26 22:01:22 UTC

**HORSESHOE INTENSIFIES.**

2018-03-26 22:20:57 UTC

@nekomata what's so bemusing about a left-wing part of a country electing a left wing party?

2018-03-26 22:24:00 UTC

@Grenade123 When that left wing party is a nationalist socialist party, and the courts of the country have ruled that mocking National Socialism is a hate crime.

2018-03-26 22:24:48 UTC

(given that Nazi, alt-right and facism are usually treated interchangably)

2018-03-26 22:26:18 UTC

The level of hatrad someone has for something is directly proportional to that which they hate within themselves.

2018-03-26 22:29:50 UTC

It's like when those antifa thugs decide to have their protests. I've sometimes wondered if the best form of counterprotest would just be to stand there with a line of (non-glass) mirrors pointing back at them

2018-03-26 22:30:28 UTC

I think that's too subtle for a lot of people.

2018-03-26 22:30:30 UTC

Unfortunately.

2018-03-26 22:31:01 UTC

yeah, probably v.v

2018-03-26 22:31:42 UTC

its to dress up like them

if they can't tell who's the real "nazi" cuz everyone is wearing black hoodies

2018-03-26 22:31:59 UTC

then just make everyone wear a hoodie

2018-03-26 22:32:14 UTC

police will even protect you at that point

2018-03-26 22:33:33 UTC

i legit think that would be the greatest weapon against them,

If they hate and want to destroy anything the "evil nazi people" touch
literally adopt their colors/symbols

then they'll destroy themselves

2018-03-26 22:34:39 UTC

that would be amusing to watch

2018-03-26 22:34:57 UTC

I would watch that.

i even told this strategy before,

that school protest thing Tim was at, and one person recognised him and started yelling at him and trying to rally the people against him, and 90% didn't know where to look or who to yell at until a few minutes of pointing etc

So literally 90% don't know their target,
Dress up like them with 5 people "plants", and start accusing a random person amongst the group that they're actually one of the "other group"

2018-03-26 22:36:56 UTC

and literally have the rally attack itself

2018-03-26 22:37:06 UTC

cuz the 5 "plants" will verify your accusation

2018-03-26 22:37:09 UTC

and be like "yeah! thats him!"

2018-03-26 22:37:25 UTC

<:40keks:337002418023694336>

2018-03-26 22:37:47 UTC

Aye, mob mentality can be reasonably easy to steer at times

2018-03-26 22:37:51 UTC

or better yet,

get 2 of those groups going, and accusing people and the other group will defend them and point someone else

2018-03-26 22:38:06 UTC

It is very easy to steer

2018-03-26 22:38:08 UTC

be like "Hey tahts taht person!"

"You lie! you're just trying to defend HIM over there!"

2018-03-26 22:38:15 UTC

"A person is intelligent. People are stupid." or something to that effect

2018-03-26 22:38:54 UTC

Put it up in sposting.

2018-03-26 22:38:58 UTC

A crowd with no principles, has no protection

2018-03-26 22:40:24 UTC

cuz their own lack of principles will topple them that way,

A true "anti-violence" group of people will be like "shut up! they didn't do anything"

but these rabid protesters will just attack

2018-03-26 22:40:50 UTC

and since they wont listen once they have a "target" they won't be talked down anymore if properly riled up

2018-03-26 22:41:19 UTC

just like in that vid Tim did he talked to one guy and he was showing evidence and the guy was like "yeah, well, you're still a bad guy though"

2018-03-26 22:41:50 UTC

Because social justice has become a religion.

2018-03-26 22:42:47 UTC

ofc

2018-03-26 22:43:14 UTC

but its freaky though, cuz that turning the protesters against themselves is just the ol' tactic of "Divide and Conquer"

2018-03-26 22:43:35 UTC

The scary thing is how easy it is.

2018-03-26 22:43:55 UTC

Modern day witch hunts.

2018-03-26 22:43:57 UTC

its easy because they have no morals and principles

2018-03-26 22:44:07 UTC

Only emotion.

2018-03-26 22:44:08 UTC

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, and antifa do their very best to imitate facists. I wonder how many of them will realise that as they grow older.

2018-03-26 22:44:16 UTC

they just want an enemy to hate, to blame for whats missing in their lives

2018-03-26 22:44:49 UTC

none, the antifa people that "grow up" only do so because they finally get a job and realise making genuine money is hard work

2018-03-26 22:45:17 UTC

they'll still blame the system for the real educated smart workers getting better money

2018-03-26 22:45:39 UTC

you always get a few souls who manage to get out of these cults. why not with antifa?

2018-03-26 22:45:48 UTC

oh they will

2018-03-26 22:46:15 UTC

but most that do will still be like "man i still believe in the same, but THOSE guys are just as bad as the nazis"

2018-03-26 22:46:58 UTC

kind of like that "alt-lite" splinter group

2018-03-26 22:47:20 UTC

and now I have a sudden need to play some Chris Ray Gun

2018-03-26 22:48:22 UTC

A new one recently came out.

2018-03-26 22:48:24 UTC

how is he still a walking man? i'd imagine the anti-feminists will wanna weaponise his dick

2018-03-26 22:48:38 UTC

I think it's about how video games are once again becoming a target of the media. lol

2018-03-26 23:08:21 UTC

Good thing I didn't buy an xbox then.

2018-03-27 03:35:25 UTC

2018-03-27 03:35:33 UTC

but mr metokur isn't a fucking elf

2018-03-27 03:54:24 UTC

Or a furry.

2018-03-27 03:54:46 UTC

well, he might be. might be why he speaks out against them so much.

2018-03-27 03:54:51 UTC

Self-hatred and all that.

2018-03-27 04:20:39 UTC

lol

2018-03-27 04:29:41 UTC

Wait, me? lol

2018-03-27 04:53:41 UTC

no, Jim.

2018-03-27 04:54:06 UTC

Mr. Metokur isn't a furry like you are. Or maybe he is.

2018-03-27 04:59:35 UTC

Re: Facebook Creepiness
This is an anecdote that would be hard to verify. I was in Houston, with a flat tire at 2:00am. We wound up getting towed to a 24 hour tire shop. While there, we were told that we had to pay in cash, because they don't accept credit card. We were just thankful to get our tire fixed, but I made a suggestion to him.

After chatting with him for a while, I recommended that he consider getting a Square reader for his shop, so they can accept more forms of payment and turn less people down. He had never heard of such a thing as a credit card reader you can plug into your phone. Noone had told him this existed, or anything like that. He did however mention how he's suspicious of technology as well, and thought that it might be a liability, but that it was something that he'd look in to.

Sure enough, he walks away, checks his Facebook app, and finds, front and center, an ad he'd never seen before. It was an ad for Square Readers. He came back over, showed me the ad, and told me that Facebook, in fact, creeps him out a bit. I was creeped out too. But to the point, They couldn't have utilized a location report or anything like that off of my phone. Despite the fact that I've had conversations with people before about Square Readers, I do not have the Facebook Messenger app. I've always refused to download it. There should have been no way that Facebook would know that we talked, unless it actively listened to conversations for keywords about sponsors. Maybe they don't log every word you say, even, but I think it's entirely possible that they utilize an 'OK Google' styled system that listens for keywords. There's little other explanation for how this happened.

2018-03-28 23:05:33 UTC

Also, this incident made him not only suspicious of Facebook, but of Square as well, so this advertising undermined word of mouth advertising.

2018-03-29 01:18:13 UTC

Sadly most people will not care. Being able to gossip out ways the creepiness for most.

2018-03-29 01:51:02 UTC

So i was talking to the news media today about corey feldman. i happened to walk by the intersection and saw a few vans so i walked over to talk to them. I didn't know about the 'stabbing' yet. nothing that interesting but i also ran into them again when i took a walk by the police station

In a bid to bring black students to science, this high school will offer Africentric math

2018-03-29 09:08:46 UTC

To calculate the moves for conjuring lightning I bet

2018-03-29 10:28:02 UTC

Yes, because people can not learn unless everything is taught to them through a cultural lens.

2018-03-29 15:02:53 UTC

@Dr.Wol are you saying that witch doctors donโ€™t use calculus when casting their spells or making their potions? ๐Ÿ˜‰

2018-03-29 16:48:17 UTC

i'm sure they can apply excellent levels on their spells and potions,

But it will have as much use as me pissing in a toilet to make jetski's fly

2018-03-29 18:16:02 UTC

lol

2018-03-29 20:15:38 UTC

Tim mentioned Remington in his video but didn't mention that Remington's quality has been going to shit for a while now

2018-03-29 20:16:12 UTC

damn shame, was hoping to pick up a remington model 700 too

2018-03-29 20:41:51 UTC

I wonder if gun manufacturers are taking a hit from people making guns at home to exploit some loopholes in some gun control

2018-03-29 20:45:47 UTC

I really want to purchase a firearm now for some reason.
