My Boss noticed I had been down lately. She said “She was depressed once, then she started going out with friends once a week. That was 20 years ago and shes been cured since”. True story.

That is fun!

Skyrim character creation after forgetting to turn the camera.

So what’s on the menu? I’m looking for a new meal to eat till I literally never want to think about it again.

Gardenias. My grandmother had a huge gardenia tree/bush monstrosity that my mom took a cutting off of when grandma died. That cutting turned into the same tree bush monstrosity in my backyard.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion..

This popped up in my feed yesterday and I usually dont click suggested but was super bored. Long story short, im almost finished watching every vid he has. Good stuff!

But does it roll down stairs?

Your probably right, but short of going through and editing everything with nonsense (which could just be rolled back anyways) this at least provides me with some copium.

When I saw this news yesterday, it made me realize I hadn’t used Reddit almost at all since the purge last summer. I ran the PowerDelete tool last night to nuke my profile and then deleted my account this morning. 10 years of posts and comments gone but ill be damned if im going to let those posts stay and train AI to make this douche canoe any more money.

I tried to clean out my closet last month. I got most everything out of the closet and lost motivation. Most of my closet is still scattered around my room a month later. Maybe next weekend…

Im playing Skyrim again. I think ive finally got a mod pack that is stable enough to possibly get sorta close to maybe beating the game, hopefully. It only crashes once or twice an hour and I haven’t had to bust out the console commands yet. Wish me luck!

My job specifically? Probably nothing major except for some spam. We dont sell our customers info like a lot of places do. If we did then, the profile we have on you could be cross referenced with other companies and build a more complete profile on you. Allowing less scrupulous people to infer and fill in the blanks on the missing info for you and try to profit off that.

Some things that my company does:

• Has someone watching you browse our site live. We can see everything you do in real time. All your searches, missclicks, mouse movements, etc. Only thing it cant see is credit card info.

• Uses these live views to create a profile on you. Are you in the deep south and searched for something that could be “conservative”? Your now on our Conservative mailing list. Vise-versa as well, We have email marketing campaigns that are written to cater to demographics. For each email sales campaign we put out, there are about 8 varieties of those emails that are tailored to what we think you want.

• Keep databases of all our customers and people who visit the site, with as much info as possible. IP, location, estimated salary, spending potential, whether or not you are more likely to click on our links. All kinds of info that isnt really protected in any meaningful way. Most of it is just on a Google Drive.

• For our big spenders and repeat customers, we have a separate database that has even more personal info. The marketing manager has even gone so far as to look up Facebook and Linkden and whatnot on you and take whatever they can find. Family, friends, hobbies, jobs, anything that they think can be useful to sell more stuff. Again, none of this is really secured to well.

Im not in the marketing department of my job so theres probably a lot more that im not aware of. These are just a few things we do and im sure this is mild in comparison to bigger companies. My job is a small family business with like 10 people working there.

I’m a big fan of Firefox’s email mask feature. Not sure which update it was but recently it showed up when clicking on an email field. FF creates an email address for you and forwards any mail you get to your main email. It’s been great for signing up for random crap cus you can just delete the email mask “account” afterwards.

I don’t see how brushing your teeth in the shower saves time. Unless your brushing while you shampoo or something, you’re just making your shower longer, which wastes more water.

I’ll be humming that theme song for the next week. That’s one of those earworms that have been in rotation in my brain since I first heard it.

Ive always read that as Shake/ing My Head, as well.
