Yes, I think my privacy settings and ad blocking and all that is on point. Also, whatever if the world knows I despise Donald Trump. I'm well accustomed to suddenly getting a ton of junk mail if I happen to mention storm windows or bras in Google. Unknown email doesn't show in my inbox anyway. The part that I have issue with is that by continuing to use FB, which I am, I am somehow endorsing their behavior. Because I am not.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

A friend of mine pointed out that in Facebook you can go under settings and see what categories you're in for advertising. It turns out Facebook thinks I'm black.

I actually have no expectation of privacy on the Internet, so I don't worry about targeted ads. Facebook isn't there as a public service, it's there to make money. I consider the access to things sufficient value for some robot trying to tempt me. If they try to force me to buy or do things, that's something else. Just selling my info to people I can ignore doesn't bother me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too!
Between stuff like that, and the fact that a random name comes up on caller ID when I call from my cell phone, I feel invisible enough.

So, the ACLU contacted me back after I emailed them about the issue with Freak Ass Church missionary/substitute teacher who tried to recruit Matilda.
I think that weasel fucking attorney at the school district is about to have his life complicated.

Nice to hear, David. It seems so over the top to allow this to continue.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Excellent news! (Not for the weasel fucker, but who cares about him?)
