That’s not what private mode is for…? Private mode is for local privacy, like hiding your porn searches from anybody else who uses the same device. It won’t help at all for stopping external data collection - you want a VPN for that.

Are you…still crying?
The Democrats have their problems. And they are many. Yet oddly bear little to no resemblance to all the bull the Republicans accuse them of.
As for me, I know I have no friends in Washington. So I couldn’t possibly care any less about your pretty little list of bullshit from your previous comment…

Oh wow, cry harder. Only reason you hear about conservatives wanting to taste liberal tears is because they’re tied of the taste of their own.

This poll shows nothing. They had less than 500 people respond.
- Comment on Ok, some nerd please explain the switches on this IRL calculator app 2 weeks ago:
Well, I see a round up, didn’t round, or round down switch. The next one might be how many points if precision??. The last one has to do with sum vs series somehow.
That is interesting, though. Beyond me, that’s for sure

Wow. Talk about moving the goal posts. You’re not even taking about the same thing anymore.
If you just wanna bitch about something, uh, then go in with your bad self. Or something. But rather than even attempt a rebuttal to any of the points raised in this thread, you’ve literally completely changed the scenario being discussed.
Like, why even bother replying? Your whole tirade doesn’t even make sense in the context of the thread…

Obviously not, you still have brains enough to type.

Oh. So it’s not actually funny. Got it.

Hopefully you can enlist the aid of somebody with significant tech/computer knowledge. If you can, it could be useful to “dox” this individual. A vindictive cracker can come up with all sorts of ways to make his life difficult until he gives up.
In the meantime, document EVERYTHING. This is absolutely crucial if you ever attempt to get some kind of protective order through the courts. Often, as long as you’ve clearly communicated that you desire zero contact, then no matter how “politely” they word things, continued attempts to contact you should count legally as harassment.
Finally, this is not mild. This is the mindset of an abuser. Please stay safe, no matter what you do!

- Comment on I don't have a purpose in life and feel like a robot. This cannot be good for my mental health, but I don't know how or what to change. How do I change? 1 month ago:
Find a shop sells games like Dungeons & Dragons or Magic: the Gathering, stuff like that.
Even if you don’t play, you have a high chance of crossing paths with nerds (autistic folk, if you will). This could give you human connection in your life.
Near as I can tell, that’s the only god damn reason to be on this Earth. Hang out with other humans.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 month ago:
What are you talking about? People definitely buy homes as an investment so that they can sell it and retire.
That’s insurance. The “profit” goal is not to rent seek or enrich themselves. And in this market it’s a risky gamble, anyways.
If the so called profit is intended to be entirely consumed to take care of moving or retiring, it’s insurance to allow you to move or retire; it’s not profit you add to your income. It’s not even properly described as “profit” since it’s, by definition, unrealized gains.
These are not circumstances where you “cash out” and buy something fancy, or even pay your day to day bills. Context matters.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 month ago:
The context here is quite different; in other words, you got an apples vs oranges issue here. A single home owner does not expect to profit from that investment; the increase in value is more of an insurance than anything (mortgages are taken out to cover emergencies, or the increase in value provides the means to move to a new home, etc). So, again, the context is extremely different.
Besides, if the expected inflation in value were the issue, shouldn’t I expect increased wages to make up the difference? I.e. no, that would not contribute to making the housing market too expensive for the average person to find accessible.

- Comment on What do people who promoted the "FEMA camps" conspiracy theory think about Trump's mass deportation? 1 month ago:
Since they’re not interested in anything resembling objective reality. Empirical evidence is a evil conspiracy by the deep state to silence them.
The FEMA camps are real, and you’re misunderstanding the statements about ICE camps. You just don’t get the joke.
The conditioning of these selfish twats is impenetrable. If you bring anything but compassion to the table, then you’re trying to fight with their weapons and lose. If you come at them with compassion, they accuse you of being dishonest…they are the victim in their mind, period.
- Comment on Scales that refuse to measure if the battery isn't brand new 2 months ago:
This is probably not what you wanna hear, but when the battery gets low, the current gets weaker. If the current gets too weak, the scale becomes more and more inaccurate. Like, wildly so. In other words, the alternative is to lie to you. Badly.

- Comment on Anon awakens an ancient evil 2 months ago:
I think ancient evil very much does exist. But it’s the same as modern evil. I figure it must exist, and it’s the presence of this evil that has caused such a fucked up society to emerge.
In other words, this is not the golden age of mankind; quite the opposite I’m afraid… 😝
- Comment on Why did my bus driver want me to not pay the fare and instead just "TAKE A SEAT!!!" 3 months ago:
Most of the time, the fare thru collect is nowhere near enough to pay for the service they offer. However, partially because is capitalism, they can’t give the service to for free because, well, reasons.
The fare is useful to track how many ride different lines at different times of day stuff like that. Plus, it gives a way to count how many people use the service for the purpose of getting grants and whatnot - which is what actually funds the bus service.
So, if the driver is in a hurry for any reason, he’ll often give you a free ride…cause actually paying the fare is, well, kinda for appearances, really…
