Mmmm…. I think the title may be a bit strongly worded, but the concept that a big data company like Google isn’t doing what you expect them to be doing with your data…. Despite clear efforts to do so… that’s kind of concerning.

Like it’s cool that they have this DB and that things like this are getting fixed, it might be nice if they were more transparent about this… but it seems like they’re trying. And yet, so many privacy issues crop up due to the shear quantity and variety of data they process.


There’s hardly anything in the privacy policy, it basically says they don’t collect any data beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the service. And then they only use it for exactly that purpose.

What do you expect it to say?

Poor impulse control is a hallmark symptom. It could very well be viewed that my decision to reply was a lack of impulse control. Especially because, intellectually I understand that I didn’t need to respond at all and that I was adding negative energy where there wasn’t any… generally not a nice thing to do. Looking back on it, I see that.

I’m not sure that I agree that “owning my mistake” is a solution here.

It’s also worth noting that blaming me for worsening a stigma against ADHD is kinda triggering. It makes me feel shitty, without any clear path to improving. Unless I misunderstand what it means to own your mistakes. I generally understand that to mean “I fucking suck, I see that and I will endeavor to do better”.

Idk…


I’m the guy who uses the emoji reactions that are built into outlook (for internal emails) to avoid anyone getting any more emails than they need to.

It’s funny bc, it’s actually the fact that I try to be courteous to others and their time that things like shitty titles bug me.


I see how it’s possible to jump to that conclusion, but I did not. And I don’t see why it’d be such a burden for OP to write a title like “Any tips for using Facebook marketplace?” + privacy community makes for a wonderfully efficient conveyance of information. To the what, hundred…. Thousands of people scrolling past this post. I could look at that and go, I’ve got nothing for you, and kept scrolling.

Instead it’s TITLE -> what about it? -> PREVIEW TEXT-> no to what? Just using it in general? -> c/PRIVACY -> idk wtf they’re on about

I could live and let live, and I often do… idk, my ADHD meds had worn off


I’m surprised people don’t get it. Disagreeing about me bitching about it makes sense, but to not understand my complaint at all is a surprise.

I’m scrolling casually, see a text post, read the title to see what it’s about… decide if I want to click and read more. But I get this title…. Maybe the community it’s in will give me a clue what their topic is… not really.

Most of the time I just keep scrolling, but for whatever reason I felt like pointing it out.

OP failing to give even a hint as to the topic between the title (which exists specifically to convey the topic) and the beginning of the text as shown by my app…

Look, they’d get more helpful interactions if they just used the title for the titles purpose. And those who don’t want to participate don’t have to read an indeterminable amount before realizing the content and being able to make an informed decision.


It’s a pet peeve of mine, sure it’s not a big deal if one person does it every now and then, but some people don’t seem to understand the concept of a title. Might as well just omit it altogether with titles like this.


You knew what OP meant when they said “Facebook Marketplace”? Are you clairvoyant?


I don’t have the first clue what you’re asking, bc of the previously mentioned title issue.


What an excellent use of a title and first line of text:


Big wiki is coming for you

Jk, I’m probably just as out of the loop as you. But maybe it’s OP that out of the loop.

I thought wiki was one of the good-ish guys.


Ah, looks like he was never prosecuted after all, but the whole situation was still a horrible mess.


Tbf the politicians usually either hire Halliburton or have one of the technically literate agencies handle this kind of stuff.


Someone was prosecuted for hacking bc they hit F12. Lmao, never gonna get over that.


  1. World domination and genocide
  2. Alan Turing’s castration and suicide

Worst things the British have done.
