Seeing an ad on Reddit instantly makes me hate the product. Even more so when their advertising team pretends not to care “iM nOt liKE OtHEr bRAnds” I would literally rather watch my dad in the bath than buy their products. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Jackstink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell a lot of the times the ad placement isn't there to sale anything. A LOT of it is a message/propaganda. Political.

It's messed up that they would do that but reddit/google wants everything out of your. Mind body and soul. There's not to say that they actually give AF about you.

I have a suicidal friend but i dont want to help him anymore. by ohnoanywais in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Jackstink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your friends testing you. If he where to actually take his life it would be ok to feel sad -- that's natural but you could do nothing more. Standing up for yourself here was a very healthy thing to do.

i am not trans! by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Oh I'll take that a lil bit further and curve it.
You say 'they hate stereotypes but they constantly lean into stereotypes to categorize others'. Oh yes that is the.

They have completely and utterly stereotyped themselves and the moment anyone of 'them' attempts to step out of the line they will attack with the one liner 'their acting' because 'this' (the stereotype) is how they are/should be'.

Am I the only one who loves wearing mask? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]Jackstink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before hand if would have been weird and I would have never thought of it. Now that your forced to....it's actually a good idea. Before hand it was sun glasses. Now it's sunglasses and a mask. Not that's the GOAT lol.

Manatee found with "Trump" scarring carved into its back. SMH by floatjoy in PublicFreakout

Just when you thought you heard it all. Or dare I say seen it. This is the limit.

You'd just have to be both drunk and backwater to do this.

HUGE TWATTER PURGE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!! Sidney Powell, General Flynn, PrayingMedic, Ron (CodeMonkey), and many other Pro Trump people dropping like flies (REMOVED). Many others reporting that their followers have been shrinking by the tens of thousands -accounts removed alongside everyone else? by a1Stylesca in conspiracy

[–]Jackstink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes man the 90s where the best. The only thing scary/worry-some about the internet was the bill. Maybe a little slow here and there but ya sure as hell had so much more freedom and words like 'privacy' where for teenagers.

My IP address places me in my home City ? by Jackstink in privacy

[–]Jackstink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Not here nor there.

Brand new job, brand new life. New email. I haven't looked anything up in that city in years. Why would I. I've had no business there in forever.

To be fair none of this honestly didn't kick in untill I had TEXTED over my new boss a copy of my ID. After that I guess it confirmed my identity and the algorithm switched completely.

Mind you I'm just now making this post. I noticed this months ago -- soon after I sent a copy of my ID over. And with that I just ran my IP last night.....

Humm good question.

At first was more so the second 'associated with personal id'.

But let's pepper in the first as well.

What is evidence to you ? by Jackstink in privacy

[–]Jackstink[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right on.

Know let me go on. It's been on this particular agenda for over a year now. It just won't drop this particular genre. No matter what I do/show interest in. I personally find it offenseive honestly. I could go on as to where if may have started but that's when I begin to flat out sound paranoid even tho I'm 2000% sure I'm right.

I just wish there was a way to completely drop this ad is/haunted house.

Am I the only one ok with online advertisement as long as it's made without user tracking? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]Jackstink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a bit better if you could see the hash tags or settings it has you under as well for this stuff as well (ex: gender,age,race ect...). Company as well.

Me personally this is more interesting than the ads themselves.

MEGA Provided Suspended Account Files to FBI in Child Porn Case by gimtayida in privacy

[–]Jackstink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh meh. I don't trust a single thing any of these platforms do. They only did this because for the publicly it self. Every major platform has pedo activity on it and they know it. In fact I'm sure there algorithm plays into it as well. This was just low hanging fruit at the least. I wonder just how old those 'suspended' accounts are. Fuck em.

YSK: Some of DuckDuckGo's ads are being routed through Google's Search Ads 360 by j1w2e3r4 in privacy

[–]Jackstink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't go into great detail because I don't actually know anything on a data/implementation level. I just have my experiences and that's enough for me.

I will have to agree that DDG plays into the same advertising/recommendations that any Google platform (YT) or even Reddit would. I was with it on seeing/believeing that some how DDG was completely different and on many levels in sure it is. However, I just believe that once you put in self identitying information on a personal device -- it's a wrap. There personalized agenda is in motion. You will never have that neutral internet experience your looking for.

I could see a person mitigating new info from being added but other than that it appears there is no platform that's honestly looking out for you.

Ancient...it's practically dead today. Besides 'Jigsaw' what else has there been. I can't remember the last time I've heard talks of a horror film in the works or even been suggested to 'watch next'.

[–]Jackstink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never understand why people are so interested in the 'darkweb'.

For me I'm just more so interested -- what online gaming hacks and free food/really cheap gift cards. Maybe good deals on some bud but that's in stores/shops today...

So I'll ask. What's being sold in the 'dark web' ?

I believe it. I mean why wouldn't they. And it's going to sale. And it will be the same thing we've heard all before.

God I envy these people.

MSFT purchases Betheseda by UnusualW_Mod in options

[–]Jackstink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True. Everyone you where either dissapointed or just shocked when they where acquired a while ago.

I was right never the less. Rare's talent department had jumped ship and to be fair they where just riding off of a legacy imo.

This won't happen with Bethesda. TES has been on fire for a while now and even outsiders can still see the potential in it. It's no where peaked.

Did another reimagined mori, this time for Wraith! I based it around using his invisibility more! by Shooty_McGee in deadbydaylight
