All of this is 100% correct, but to shed some light on the perspective you’re replying to: this deep into dystopia, slimy business bullshit as opposed to literal dictates from the surveillance state counts as “organic growth” for a lot of people

Befriend good customers and start (keep?) selling grey market on the side, only way to get paid as a weed barista

Let’s be wildly paranoid lol

I mean… I genuinely believe your phone (and the watch I correctly assumed you wore) log all of those things, for a start. It’s essentially free for them to do and there’s value to be extracted from that data. My earnest answer to the mocking strawman question you pose would be that you, garmin, your healthcare provider/insurance company, various advertisers, and law enforcement for a start would love to know the frequency, consistency, and volume of your shits for various reasons and that same data on a population in aggregate is even more valuable.

Anyway if you want hyperbole, informing the corpos of your turd girth is a traitorous betrayal of our species and will be punishable by death when the revolution comes. Hope you’re having a nice day lol

There’s hard evidence everything transmitted is logged and that any phone capable of connecting to the cell network can be listened in on at any time. I would be very surprised to learn monitoring/logging like that was not the default at this point given the infrastructure we’ve publicly built for that purpose and just how easy to implement it’s become. You think an on device assistant can help schedule and summarize your day but the NSA is going to opt out of those capabilities on principle and let that big ol Utah data center sit idle?

Nothing, you’re the one guy who literally has nothing to hide. Just let it log when you sleep shit or fuck, every word you speak, and every place you go. Who cares, am I right?

You got a link on this, something I can share with regular peeps?

Who among us wouldn’t play along as President Sharpie? Finally a chance to act bigly

This is the post where I quit thinking you were cool. Now if you’ll excuse me it’s my rip, can’t smoke drive and text. Not enough hands!

Sure, they can’t run a block or turn their necks but those big boys are genuinely hard to take down. If one sits on you? Game over, man

Be happier with some cat pics, this is exactly why we need more grandmas on board :p

The pros used to use foil lined vans for stripping scooters, imagine they’re still at it. The kids smash n dash with the batteries like pheasant hunters just pulling the breasts and put them in their ebikes to get away even faster next time

In my town the children fuck with these to learn to fuck with waymos when they grow up. Trapping them with signs is funny and you can’t get in trouble, bashing/stripping them is cooler but they’re expensive enough that pretty much any damage is a “felony” so watch out for that

Tell me why my dear sweet grandma isn’t welcome to post her cat pics here, coward

Nice to see some competition in the cursed social media space, wouldn’t want linkedin getting complacent

At first I wanted to kick op’s ass for this take, but without clearly posted contact information I wasn’t sure how. So I guess we’re on the same page

“I validate the results every time” 🤡

No matter how slick tech gets, peek behind the curtain and this is what you’ll see :)

My man 😎

But it is meta, and the tech requires a corruptible centralization of power like that, so they’re great for ICE watching in the exact opposite of the way you’re hoping for
