Since I was still in the crapper, I decided to peruse my "feed". What sorry and insufferable dregs of humanity I found there! Nothing at all but bold stupidity, unashamed ignorance, supine politically correct bootlicking, semi-literacy, rudeness, and all around craptasticness.
And they say location aware ads don't work. Here you are, taking a shit and presto! crap ads thrown in your face.
When I'm out walking, I expect drivers to stop at stop signs and red lights, but I have to trust that they will.
When I'm out driving I expect pedestrians to stop and look both ways BEFORE crossing the street, but I have to trust that they will. When I'm out driving I expect pedestrians to cross the street ONLY at marked places, but I have to trust that they will..... Shall I go on?

There's this litle Desktop Mode Add-on (Firefox, of course) which make all the sites behave.
That's the way the Middle East is. Any one group gets too much power and they usually become assholes

Binoo? Binhoo? Boo?
Maybe because officially the phone company doesn't store the actual messages?
Google Search? What's that? Oh, that thingie with a duck's head in a red circle?
In case you've missed, one is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
In which universe? Not in this one, buddy. Those are just nice words for the masses.
These days? Everybody and his dog. Personal info is the new currency.
Are you implying this is just a government effort to fingerprint everybody? Naah, it can't be.
I'll see that and raise you a Sinclair ZX80.
Yeap, those people. Only they don't buy the stuff to listen, they buy it because it's trendy to have it in your home.
You forgot using words from the bingo card: disruptive, courage, cloud, empower and so on.
