Well it goes to show the idiocy of using Google if you are up to no good!

There should be a Crime 101 course to warn of leaving an electronic trail, if you are a few bricks short and want to do crime.

Remember #Patreon set up new on-by-default sharing of your account information with every other Patreon user (and maybe the world)? Remember people posting how to turn it off, because they were using confusing language/dark patterns to try to #trick you into oversharing?

I got the "welcome to the new Patreon" today, and ... they've turned the "Community Profile" setting back on after I deliberately turned it off.

Go check your settings, and opt out -- again.

Huntn00,

@gfarrell As if you could view anything as approaching purity in religion, this is a clear cut case of corrupted Christianity. I can only assume that too many of them are throwing in the equivalent of Beelzebub who has promised them a golden calf. Who knew? A lot of us. How long do you have to suffer this level of hypocrisy to realize these people have run amuck? 🤔

It's really unfortunate timing here in that fatigue is crossing over with the rise of religious barbarism in America, aka the blueprint for how our Cons will push it on in on us from the prairies.

I am sorry to you my LGBTQ friends.

Doubly unfortunate that if Trudeau had kept his promises about first past the post this wouldn't be an issue, the shit piece.

Changing our system would have required a .

And that is fundamentally impossible today; it has been for at least 20 years, and is likely to remain impossible indefinitely.

So while you can - and I do - for many, many things, this one isn't on him.

Promising to do it in the first place, it was , however, was pretty damned of him.

Fox News pundit and Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen railed against Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s foreign policy proposals, calling them “criminally stupid,” and “utterly disqualifying.”

Thiessen took to social media on Monday in response to an article Ramaswamy wrote with The American Conservative centered on how he would approach the Russia-Ukraine war and U.S. relations with China.

cazabon,

Techies: So anyway, the "little" media are hurt much worse by this. They're mostly only on the #internet. They're small, as you say. Most of their traffic came from #Facebook and #Google. #Heck, so did most of yours. But you can fall back on your big names and your #TV stations or #newspapers.

#NewMedia: Ya, it really #hurt us. I don't know if we'll #survive. We didn't even get a seat at the table when this was being #discussed; we knew it was #stupid.

Techies: Everyone did.
