You might get some snarky comments, but the way I envision it is that the fuller of a picture companies can get of you (when you’re running a vacuum, when you’re driving, when your lights are on and off, etc.) the more data they have to try and run predictive analytics on your behavior and that can be used in a variety of ways that may or may not benefit you. At this point it’s mostly just to get you to buy things they think you’ll buy, but what happens when your profile starts to match up with someone who commits crimes? Maybe you get harassed by the authorities a little more often? Generally the lack of consent around how the data is collected and how it’s used is the problem most people have.

Is the antifa in the room with you right now?

Anecdotal from the Mexicans I know that voted for him, I think a lot of people convinced themselves that he was only going to go after the “illegal” by THEIR definition Hispanics; Guatemalans and Venezuelans that are bad at “working hard” and it was going to free up resources for their hard working, attempting access via legal means, family members to enter. I tried to explain why this wouldn’t be the case but it fell upon too many deaf ears. Your anecdotal evidence might vary from mine though!

I read this as you guys agreeing - religious designations are arbitrary, you guys are just saying it from different POVs

Hmm who has well documented ties to this administration and would be happy with the downfall of America as a world power? This is one I’ll have to Putin the ol’ think tank for a while

Pakistan is all brown people everywhere? Nobody criticizes America as a whole?

I’ve been waiting for over a year now for my dad to send me his source for “the new information that’s come out about the vaccines” when he asked me if I regretted getting it yet…

Go Bills, fellow Reddit expat and I definitely miss just getting news posted about the team and Lemmy is nowhere near that level of activity. I’ve ended up just going back to old.Reddit and browsing new here and there - no commenting, not logged in, so it’s not nearly as time consuming as it used to be. Hopefully someday people will use Lemmy for stuff like this!
