O hi Mark

My old coworker and I would bullshit and be like Oh hi Mark at awkward times, to try and make the other one laugh.

Then once a guy we didn't really know was there. And we were doing it, but didn't realized his name was actually Mark.

Oh man that was peak LoL work shenanigans

See most places are bad but America should be better. It presents itself as the better. It does not always live up to that better and so those people who want us to be better keep reminding us we have a lot of work to do. I can tell you personally how horrible America can be but I don't think you want to hear that from a Lakota.

How does an app like Threads get access to financial, political, health, religious or browsing info through your phone's OS. What is the actual source of that data?

I think your asking the right question but it's hard to articulate because you don't understand the right question to ask.

Say you use google email and google apps to schedule appointments. The information is put into a database and all sorts of data points are collected. The information can be made into a profile and then sold.

If you use an app to record your diet. That could start to show medical information if you're able to put it with the google information and so on.

This is by no means how it's done but something to help you understand what you should be asking.

YSK how to pick a ripe, sweet watermelon

I worked at a grocery store and the old timer who trained me in the produce section said that all you needed to find the best watermelon was learn how to give it a slap and if it sounds like a basketball that's a good watermelon. Learning the slap takes some practice but when you do it right, you'll know.
