Just in case anyone feels the entrepreneurial holy spirit flowing flowing through them and wants to become a legally ordained minister, www.themonastery.org can hook you up for the low low cost of your email. Ive been a minister through them for over a decade. I originally did it as a joke but you can actually use it to do all the priestly things like perform weddings and stuff.
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…
I’m really into unusual/insane/unhinged. I find them fascinating. I’ve followed conspiracy theorists, alien abductees, otherkin, therians, people who eat cat fur of their sofa, etc etc....
I remember being like 7 or 8 and going to a big science museum, I cant remember which. It had a mock up of this space suit that you could get in and control. It had this picture next to the exhibit and it terrified me. All i kept thinking was what if the propellant leaks or runs out, he would be floating away forever. Really cool exhibit though, made me want to go to space camp.
I’m a firm believer that we are a race with amnesia. The Younger Dryas extinction event reset the human race, leaving our numbers decimated and with only small pockets of survivors left to rebuild.
Based on stories like this coming out over My lifetime. The earliest known civilizations keep getting pushed back by thousands of years each time a new discovery is made. Each time a new story comes out, Scientists are “amazed at the level of technology that primitive humans had”. I’m not saying that ancient humans were technologically advanced, and living in Atlantis or anything of the sort, but I do believe society started way earlier than modern science gives us credit for. Again, this is all conjecture and speculation and to be honest I didn’t realize what instance I was posting this in or I probably would have kept my opinion to myself.
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!
If your boss has no idea what your doing all year, it sounds like you can do whatever you want. Watch movies, play games, apply for other work…anything goes.
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.
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.
The Federal Trade Commission ruled in a final order and opinion Monday that TurboTax, the popular tax filing software, engaged in deceptive advertising and banned the company from advertising its services for free unless it is free for all customers....
Oh yeah totally free, just go ahead and put in all your info… Oh, looks like your at the last step and have spent a bunch of your time filling everything out. Oh darn! Look at that, you need to do something very basic that 99% of people need to do? Yeah that will be 75 bucks please.
TurboTax is nothing more than a “Legal” scam that pulls a bait and switch to steal money from people.
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.
Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn’t translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing....
That will hide your own posts and replies as well. So if you post something and go to check on it later in your profile it wont show up. I thought my posts were being deleted for awhile there, till I looked it up.
Theres a person walking, way too calmly, in front of the treeline by the bridge. I can’t imagine id be doing anything other than running away if I was that close.
Can anyone who works at a place that sells letters like this comment on how often this happens? Ive always been tempted, but feel bad for mixing them up.
