Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm FB black, too. (I'm also "very liberal" but that's less surprising.)
I'm not being good about articulating my thoughts, but short version: fb algorithms deciding you are black because you give a fuck is an indictment of the whiteness of fb inside. Systemic racism at work in weird but unsurprising ways.
it's probably because we all give a fuck about BLM and racism.
Yep. I'm gonna consider this a badge of giving-a-f**k honor.
It's sort of extra funny that Facebook thinks I'm black, because maybe 40% of my posts are about Korean pop music. But Facebook doesn't think I'm Asian. (Youtube sort of does - I get MacDonald's ads in Korean now.)
I was in a meeting yesterday where someone said her 12-year-old daughter is teaching herself Korean, and I didn't have a chance to ask if it's because of K-pop, but it's totally because of K-pop.
Facebook does NOT think I'm black, and now I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
Right there with you. It does apparently think I'm a Republican Millennial, however.
Data collection laws must be very different, because the only things in my profile, beside "Birthday in September" are details on the platforms and devices that I access FB with.
Eve is at the point where she's super annoyed at all the "basic girls" who now like K-pop. She overheard some girls wearing Vineyard Vines talking about BTS in the hallway at school and stopped to correct these total strangers about a factual error. #thatsmykidIguess #someoneiswrongbutnotontheinternet
(I am teaching myself Korean, and it is because of K-pop, but also I kept a diary in dwarf-runes when I was 16 so it's not like this is a new personality trait or anything.)
John Bolton, seriously?
So it's just a matter of time until there's a war with Iran, right?
I can't figure out where you all are looking to find this stuff, but Facebook has always boggled me when it comes to settings, etc.
So this morning my dad is in the ER with severe belly pain, elevated white count, and low kidney function, waiting on a CAT scan. I would like to put a stop to medical emergencies once this month is over, I tell you what.
John Bolton, seriously?
I'm hoping we're getting close to the time when Trump will decide he's tired of being picked on and will resign.
I'm sorry, Amy. I hope he's okay.
{{ Amy }} best wishes for your dad.
I'm not quitting FB, but I deleted a ton of apps, changed access on other apps and will probably start to limit use for a little while. More time here is the upshot.
