Because that’s their data. You can’t go deleting it. You’re the product, friend. My baby powder doesn’t get to decide it doesn’t want to go between my buttcheeks

Entirely dependent on the job I’m working. I work in film, so sometimes we’re on a prelight and the day is 12hr, I could work anywhere from four to maybe 10. Then some days were on 10hr shoot days, and I could work maybe 30 min. And then there are days like this week, working a documentary on multiple locations, and I worked a collective maybe 40 min/day (with a 9:30 call and me leaving by 2-3 while getting paid for 12hr).

Same in American!

Lol sitting in that chair, in front of that mirror, most people would be lucky to see the top of their heads

Not to mention, for a vanity, that mirror is really far away hah basically saying, “youre ugly. You don’t even want to see yourself.”

…Trump had transformed the political landscape in the U.S. to the point where some Christian conservatives are openly denouncing a central doctrine of their religion as being too “weak” and “liberal” for their liking.

Trump didn’t transform shit. His views are as old as conservatism. Maybe there was a lull in speaking out about them from about 1975-2001, but they didn’t go away. Trump literally just stumbled ass-first into a convenient landscape with his more plainly outspoken bigotry and hate.

To attribute all of this to the last 6-8 years is beyond stupid and misses the entire problem.

And if these people can’t see that, their blind spot to hatred is so big that they can’t see it until someone screams it in their face. Yeah, it’s great someone in the evangelical community is speaking out, but it’s too little way too late. The fascist ideology has firmly rooted its way into American life over the last 30 years. Now that that tree is bearing fruit and it’s falling on people’s heads, speaking out now is like trying to cut down that tree with pruning shears. You assholes that fostered this for so long needed to cut it off way sooner.

Yeah, even when I’ve had the urge to check Reddit for something I’m trying to figure out, I will do everything I can to avoid it. And if I can’t, I try to determine how much I care about what I’m searching before I even give them a single click. It’s a small, insignificant protest, but it’s a forever protest, for me. I’m happy on lemmy, I don’t browse as much, I interqct with more of the community and want to help build it. On Reddit, I felt dirty because of everything they’ve been doing the last 5 or so years. Tencent, killing third party apps slowly and then in one fell swoop, etc. fuck ‘em

No, one is an uppercase “I” while the other is a lowercase “L.” lI — you can see the difference when you compare it to the nearby “h.”

Yes, definitely! I wonder what that is. Because I definitely engage way more with the actual content, reading full articles, actually opening articles…on Reddit, I was so angry with myself because I wouldn’t actually read the shit. Which was very unlike me. Very odd

How…does that make sense to you.

“There’s way too many people in well-off areas that will survive the great famines and heatwaves killing most people by the equator. So it’s not really all that bad.”

What a stupid, stupid opinion. It’s this exact kind of idiotic nonsense take that’s dominated and helped out the culpable industries throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Get fuckin bent

It’s long past time we pull the best quote from a scientist just saying, “we fucking told you.”

I don’t dream of labor

Lol of course they do

“Mildly?”

It sure dos

Long story short, it’s a 1:15 pros/cons

It’s like getting a divorce, paying a ton of money in legal fees (as well as your wife paying a bunch), and then getting back together and trying to sue your wife’s lawyers because that money she spent is your joint money again. What a dumbass

Or just…say “fuck that” and avoid this entirely pointless addition to the social mediasphere. Simple as.

I hear your point as well. I just innately don’t trust Facebook. I can’t help but feel like, while they put out a public idea of their work, there is very much some secret shit they keep hidden, and it’s all the worst shit you can expect from someone with their hands on the data and power they have their hands on.

Personal choices. I can’t trust FB. Although, I don’t live in Europe or South America, so I have the option to avoid WhatsApp. When I lived in both of those other places, WhatsApp was basically texting because it was free, whereas actual texting is expensive (maybe that’s changed, but WhatsApp is ubiquitous in other countries unlike it is in the US).

“WhatsApp privacy policy is terrible for user privacy,” says Ashley Simmons, founder of avoidthehack!, a website that promotes online privacy and security awareness. “It requires data sharing with Facebook, doesn’t offer encryption for chat backups, and ‘mines’ the metadata of your messages.”

It does matter who’s telling you that you’re safe trusting them.

Facebook owns it.
