I usually don't get involved with political memes, but I'm big on privacy and civil rights.

Right you are.

Or what you buy on the internet... It creeps me out how well the tailored advertising guesses what I'd be interested in

Hell yeah. When I used my phone to shop for car tires, I was seeing ads for Sears and other retail chains while I was trying to view Google News.

I never eat her ice cream. Never. Not a taste. Nothing. Never.

I did a Google image search for 'winged Logos' as I'm trying to design a tattoo and I want to avoid it being mistaken for something else ... that was 3 days ago... my header on multiple sites in another Browser is now full of ads for Shutterstock and filled with winged images.

If you want your skin to be a truly unique work of designer art, don't pay a guy a bunch of money to scribble permanent ink on it :) I know what you're saying with the ads though... creepy...

It's not about 'designer art'... that's why I'm trying to design my own idea rather that getting something off the Parlor Wall or their Book of previous works... I looked up 'wings' because the rough sketch I'd done by hand skewed too close to the Van Halen "-VH-" logo

I once got one off the parlor wall. I dont recommend it. Unless they put original art on their wall. The one i'm talking about is not original art.

Lol.

Damn... I forgot the bag of lime.

As far as civil liberties go you can find many examples if you look at law enforcement search and seizures. One that stands out was a couple of guys who were professional gamblers driving to Vegas. Stopped for a minor driving infraction, the cops called in a canine unit who got a hit on their trunk. Well they had thousands of dollars, which makes sense. Two pistols, which makes sense. But the cops grabbed their shit anyway and now they're battling it out in court. Stupid.

Ohhh. Good one.

It seems that way. A new device becomes available and people have to have it. With no regards of what they're giving up. I wonder about the new voice activated remote from cable providers. If you don't activate it, is it still listening?

They are always listening...My mom was at her Bridge club a few weeks ago and the women hosting that week has one. The ladies got on topic of Tony Bennett, later when the women asked Alexia for some music suggestions, guess what was the number one suggestion, Tony Bennett. Always listening

Hey - download the FREE APP Bro-skis....

Fo' rilly d'oh.

Yeah. Not just freedom of speech, but being monitored on your phone, Internet, even on any major highway. There's cameras on towers and just about every underpass.

We probably shouldn't be doing what were doing right now, watch for the black van! LOL

LOL Perfect! :-)

Haha. Thanks.

For some reason my Xbox goes on every once in a while. I can't explain it.

Freedom of speech pertaining to everyone. If you say the wrong thing you're labeled something derogatory.

Yeah. And all social media is under the disguise of keeping connected to your friends. Back in the 70's and 80's law enforcement was looking at suspects library cards to see what they were interested in. Kinda old school, but the internet wasn't around yet.

They were doing the library card thing through at least the 90's. Remember the movie "Se7en?" They talk about that, briefly.

Yup. I saw it. That's how it was done.

Lol. You're a real thinker.

And all their eavesdropping and electronic message stockpiling, have not stopped a single terrorist act and have been a total waste of time and money.

Well, of course. Any corporation wants to sell you stuff. But any public or private entity who sees an opportunity to sell you more by knowing your buying habits will take the opportunity and use it to their advantage. Sometimes it's legal, sometimes not. When a government uses that opportunity, we have spying.

It's an amusing meme, but I don't take the issue lightly. Read the whole thread.

Lol.

Haha.

Would you like to report this AD CHOICE?

Just click.here in my mouth.

Lol. They've told you it stopped. But, it hasn't.
