9/10 straight women agree: Happy boners best boner. Angry boners come in at number two, and way at the bottom of the pack, nobodies favorite: Sad boners. Poor, poor sad boners. No body wins with a sad boner. T-T
A sad boner shouldn't even be in this thread. Monsters.
Better take out that Kylo Ren gif, then.
I can't speak to the disposition of his boner. Sadly. SADLY!
The entire personhood of Kylo Ren is a sad boner.
I OBJECT!

He is like the personification of 15 year old boys in their bedroom playing WoW on a Saturday night.
My partner finds him rather attractive, actually.
Shows what she knows.

He is totally attractive. Says me.

Count me in the 'oh, great, a delusional manchild with a reasonably legit persecution complex, is still catty as a 13 year old re: his parents, a true believer in a great cosmic future under direction only he can provide, and phenomenal cosmic power. This is gonna be totally wheeeeeeee' camp.
If I wanted to see that, I'd just watch the news more.

The man can be v. pretty and behave like a sad boner at the same time, guys. These things are not mutually exclusive.

Adam Driver, on the other hand, seems like a genuinely wonderful person.

...how many hours Zuckerberg is likely to get grilled by the senate today. This is the real popcorn for me, y'all.
Oh fucking well.

Look, the guy is a billionaire at 33.
Think of how many times the rest of us have been grilled by bosses, pissed off aunts, inept managers, civil servant bureaucrats, etc... over nearly nothing.
When this guy is done getting bitched at - if it happens, given the campaign contributions many of those same politicians hope to continue getting in the future - he'll go back to his super mansion. He'll be a'ight.

Right.
I mean, let's say Zuckerberg goes to jail (I don't even know why he's getting dressed down, but let's say he goes to jail) he'll go to like, one of those cushy jails, where his life will be a hundred times more cmfortable and full of amenities than mine, as a free person, is.
So yeah.

@coin For all that FB has some scummy practices I hate the overreactions there.
"Mr Zuckerberg , would you tell us which hotel you stayed at last night?" was one of the questions he got asked, indicating somethingsomething about privacy.
Here's the thing; if you volunteer the information there is no fucking privacy violation. If you manually do a check-in on Facebook which explicitly posts your whereabouts what the hell do you expect?
-
@arkandel
That was by biggest reaction to the whole thing to.
If you want security for your information maybe don't put things you don't want people to know about on the internet, it really isn't that hard of a thing to do. -
You guys are aware that there are people who have never once had a Facebook account and yet Facebook...... has their information? All because someone installed/used Facebook messenger and despite not approving it to do so, it went in and scrubbed their phone to grab information?
That is what this whole thing is about. Situations like that.
Not the people who manually checked into locations. Volunteered info, sure.
But it's been found those times you said 'No, FB, you cannot have this' ... FB ignored that setting and took/stored the info anyway. And that there have been times when Zuckerberg personally has utilized the details his site has stored of people against them.
There have been incredibly clear violations of privacy.

Have there?
We should probably more this to a Politics topic, but, as a short note: (1) you only have a reasonable expectation of privacy as it pertains to government intrusion; (2) to the best of my knowledge there is no federal statute authorizing a private cause of action for intrusion upon seclusion, aka invasion of privacy; (3) not all states have created such a private cause of action by statute or recognized such by common law; and (4), even if all states had done so, the federal government has no business in getting involved with what may be best considered a state-authorized private cause of action.
I understand why we are having the hearings, but don't leap to the conclusion that Facebook has done anything unlawful.

In the US at least. In the EU it may be a different story.

This post sums up my feelings on the FB situation nicely.

@ganymede said in RL things I love:

If you have my phone number, name, address, etc... in your device and you install the Messenger program... I have not given permission for those details to be stored, utilized, etc. by Facebook.
Yet that is what Facebook was doing. They were using my (or people like me in this scenario) details. Selling them to ad agencies, using them for other purposes (there is one specific scenario in which Zuckerberg is known to have used Facebook to collect intel on two lawyers he had to deal with back in the early days of the site), etc..
That, IMO, is a clear violation. You (nebulous you) gave permission for your data, but you don't have the right to give permission for mine.

What I dislike about Facebook in regards to privacy concerns, and their CEO admitted it in yesterday's hearing so it's on the record, is that the application is aware of the sites you visit in other tabs on your web browser.
That is a no-no. If I volunteer my data to Facebook and check in at my favorite restaurant to show off the pulled pork that's my choice, and I can't bitch them out when they target me for BBQ sauce ads later on. But if I open a tab to a Nintendo Switch site, and I've never said a word about Nintendo on FB, they should not have access to it.
