I tested this with my Facebook app in 2013. Found a Spanish radio station, set my phone down next to it overnight, and for several weeks I was seeing ads exclusively in Spanish. Deleted the app the first day I saw them in Spanish, and deleted my account not long after that.

My wife still uses them after 5 years together and me pointing out all the times it's obviously eavesdropping on us, and she's even been creeped out by it before. Still uses it...

Unless my microphone and camera have physical switches, I will assume they are being used. Those little "your camera and microphone are off" icons in the corner of the screen don't reassure me.

Bare minimum, Orange Shitler has announced to the world he believes he can be manipulated.

Can't wait to hear how this is actually what strong men do from my relatives.

They’d rather look even more incompetent with classified info than just admit whatever the real reason is or make up something fake to cover.

Every time something major breaks and it seems like everyone involved is extremely incompetent, this is what I assume.

They knew exactly what they were doing. It was intentional from start to finish. They just don't want to admit that, because then they would have to admit the real reason, and that thought terrifies them.

An acceptable trade.

Yes. Yes it is.

Personal experience.

I have a 750w inverter plugged into my 12v plug, and it is absolutely more than enough to run the little 500w single plate burner I have.

I have used them together but I don't do it outside of camping when it's too rainy to use a fire. It takes forever to cook bacon eggs and pancakes on a single burner.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.

Make no mistake, this is yet another message, "we do not care about you or your struggles". Listen when they tell you they won't protect you.

As someone without allergies that has been around for too many peanut-related reactions, I absolutely hate that this article exists.

Too many times I have heard people be dismissive of a person's severe peanut allergy, to the point of thinking it's funny to bring a peanut butter sandwich to work and wave it in someone's face, and then get defensive when it triggered a skin rash from proximity alone.

I've seen people put peanut butter on an allergic person's car door handle.

I've seen people put peanuts in someone's food "because they have to be faking it"

The reason I hate this article is because it will encourage too many people who "have done their own research" to put peanuts in things "to help build up a tolerance"

Someone is going to die from that "studies suggest".

And I really am tired of hearing "you're overreacting, that's not going to happen" given the current state of the world.

Alcoholic male defense secretary with 0 OPSEC abilities orders makeup set for public appearances.

Also decides other males aren't allowed to wear makeup in public.

I had a target I would eat lunch at whenever a contract took me to the area, I could just walk over and get a personal pizza and drink.

Not anymore.

It's getting harder to shop at places that don't bend the knee.

Thats not a challenge to get more places to bend so we don't have a choice, I would happily never spend money in the United States again if I could help it.
