Why do people keep buying this shit?

You don’t have to leave your house. $50 aint much to a lot of people, even those making minimum wage in a lot of cases. People have way more disposable income in this country than they let on, there’s always ways to minimize expenses. Housing costs are probably the biggest costs for me, and that could be split four or five ways if I really wanted to save money (but i’d rather spend thousands of dollars a month to not deal with other people.)

My brother routinely takes a ride share service to mcdonalds with his wife, they eat, then they go back in another rideshare. it’s still cheaper, and the food is always fresh, and the rewards you get from app rewards programs are honestly pretty good when you game the system.

I think between the tip and fees, it would be closer to $18 or so.

The fees are insane, they triple dip the one sided negotiation.

But what if I’m allergic?

They could… you know… just use the back door.

the reason why men like that won’t date in their own age group is because women their age see the red flags more clearly or won’t put up with their bullshit.

Definitely not why an older guy dates a young girl imo.

Women in their early 30s want babies ASAP (at least that was my experience on dating apps back before I was married and long before 40.) Older people generally have more mental health issues from all the trauma of life, plus by 30s they’ve been through a bad relationship or two… which makes everything more complicated with baggage.

Younger people have more energy, more libido, are more open to experience, do not have the baggage and trauma… Nobody had any problems when I was dating a woman who was about 50 when I was in my 20s. The sex was great and her libido was wild. She had her shit figured out and was very patient with me and a wonderful partner for the time we spent together… but she was dating 18 year olds before she met me.

There’s obviously the whole looks thing too.

I’m in my 40s, if I got a divorce for some reason there’s no way i’d get back into a serious relationship. I’d want something casual and fun. I would probably be going for someone late 20s/early 30s who didn’t want kids though because I like people who have an idea of who they really are.

I think this is the best one here. Hey can you send me that document as a gaypeg? Thanks!

Get jfegged out of here, you jif lover.

I actually sat through a pitch for downdetector. They have an enterprise product that shows historical data and trends. You have to pay per service monitored, it was wild.

Expect these to be put fully behind paywalls or some other privacy invading method to maximize value extraction. They use tools to gather outage info from all kinds of sources on social media, not their websites so they don’t rely on user reports as much as some might think.

They’re already paying all the manufacturers for the driver telemetry anyway, probably through third party brokers because everything must be obfuscated.

I think they like having multiple layers of confirmation that way if one is regulated away for some reason like ‘privacy’ or ‘technically anyone could be driving’ then they have fallbacks and legal deniability for the data being inherently flawed.

The various news sites out there that want to spread their own version of influence and generate their own revenue take this kind of information and use it to see how you click on things, what drives your engagement, what you will go on to share with others, and how you talk about all of it. It’s all tied together.

Big money interests run basically everything in this world. We are just cattle, we will always be just cattle. I’m in countless databases like all of you, and we’re all fucked by the system we think we might some day to cheat our way above the other rats. The noose is tied tight though… there’s not much room left to struggle. It’s too late to escape it. Palantir and Flock are here to close the loop and they aren’t going anywhere, even if the street cameras are likely to be hidden in the future and more tamper proof rather than obvious to the public. Doesn’t matter if the laws change to ban it or you can convince local government to not get involved with it - it’s way too easy to hide cameras with modern technology. Just give it time and your credit score and auto insurance will incorporate flock data ;)

I swear people do not understand the point of what microsoft does.

There isn’t a team tasked with making teams worse. They’re tasked with extracting all possible value out of their product. Part of that value is infromation like where you are, what you’re doing, what you’re talking about, what you search for, what you actually do for your job, who is around you, what they talk about, where they are, what they are doing, what they search for, and what they do for their job and how everyone spends their money.

All of this is incredibly valuable data to governments, businesses and private individuals that want to advertise, suppress dissenting political voices, enhance useful dissenting political voices, and otherwise manipulate global influence.

They just don’t want you to think about declining any permissions, triggering regulatory action, or switching to another platform.

It’s because this administration wants to use AI/ML to create a list of domestic strike targets based on people who have said things dumpy doesn’t like.

We call them Karen

That’s not really parental supervision though. Knowing what kind of content that exists and that a child can interact with should be one of the most important considerations when allowing kids to access something. Not just the amount of time in a period they are allowed to do so.

I can’t imagine how “parental supervision” could exist without understanding how to use what they are supervising.

I wish there was a solution for this, but it sounds like the only way to fix the problem is regulation.

Good luck with that, we can’t bribe this administration as well as the auto lobby can.

Oh yeah it’s totally deleted from that one server! Of course all information is kept for “quality and training purposes” and to hand over to palantir and whoever is willing to pay.
