Not only am I embarrassed by the US and it’s inhabitants, my family has been planning an international move for some time. Once we are no longer caring for the elders in the family, we will make our exit stage right.

Its not weird to you and as you said, nothing untoward is occurring so I don’t see a reason to stop. I wouldn’t share with peers though for obvious reasons. The small-minded would have a field day.
Does randomizing your MAC create any usability issues? Needing to log in repeatedly, getting bumped off network due to looking like a different device, anything else hindering usability?
Your story basically mimics mine. Guitar and drums, always wanted to play with others but at 50 years old, I jam every day by myself at home.
Other than about 6 months in my 20s, I’ve not played music with others. I want to but I don’t interact with others and the thought of trying to is overwhelming.
I hope you overcome your aversion. The 6 months I did jam with others was magical.

What a great ad.
Schadenfreude intensifies.
No alts, just some orphaned accounts from moving to new instances.
Good for you.
No more than any other social network and more likely to be less so. This just seems to be a justification for future government action against the app/company.

It’s never enough data for them.
This was incredibly informational, thank you.
We are not rational actors; humans do incredibly illogical and irrational things all of the time. Many of the popular models championed by supporters of neoliberal capitalism completely fail to account for this, instead, assuming rational self-interest.
I think this has made more sense to me than anything else I’ve read so far as of late. If I am understanding it correctly, Capitalism is sold under the guise that companies will only prioritize profit to the point at which it begins to harm some part of society but no further because we all know that would be bad and we’re not bad people when in reality there are bad people that are ok with doing exactly that.
This seems to me like less of an oversight and more of a “we, as tobacco CEOs do not believe that smoking is addictive”, right? The masses may believe differently but those at the top of these systems, companies and law making entities have to know that what they’re doing is putting profit over humans. Were Europeans any better at implementing Capitalism before or is the system impossible or nearly so to protect against this?
That’s an incredibly accurate way of describing what looking at dating today feels like.
My IQ continually dropped while reading this summary and anyone that knows me would tell you that I can’t afford that.
I definitely was due to ignorance, it was not intentional.
That being said, the economic system in place is always at the mercy of those in political power, is it not? I’m not being fecicious, it just seems to me that no matter the conomic system in place, human nature seems to be to find a way to exploit it. I just can’t think of a scenario where that can be protected against.
I guess what I mean is that it seems like it’s the entities in power and not the political system is what’s causing these atrocities. I imagine they could do just as well if you told them today that they’re doing it under a socialist umbrella. I’ll try to give the linked book a read.
Doubtful that it will be for us, we’re fairly well insulated from the goings on around us, income/Bureaucracy wise.
