Getting not one but TWO calls from an unknown number and a text, which told me to "get a cigar." What, people don't listen to voicemail any more to figure out they called the wrong number?

Hearing people at work complain about the NSA but can't tell me one thing about Google tracking everyone.

That NSA is sitting on all that data while Google and the marketeers are making a buck with their data mining.

If NSA was really listening we would have a budget and Congress would be unemployed.

Dicks that still use an apostrophe to spell dick.

The dshans override was put in place so we can say, "G'night, Dick!"

The punk *** kids across the street that left a fast food bag in my yard after one of their parties. And they need to paint their damn wood work as it's starting to peel.

I left the trash on their doorstep the next day. The reason I knew it was them? I did some solid detective work. Looked at the reciept and noticed that it said "employee meal" and one of the little bags of **** works at said fast food joint.....(takes off shades and mutters awesome quote)


As soon as I became a father, I'm no longer cool and do not put up with teenage hooligans.

Do you mean an exclamation point? I am just trying to rollick with the mirth of this thread. I am figuring I have to understand it first.

it's justified, because they're pissing all over the rest of us.

Good point! I have seen people of all ages, male and female with big vehicles that cannot handle them. Several years ago I saw a princess all duded up, a real Sylvania housewife, in her big old Toyota Land Cruiser or whateverthefright it is called. The one that looks like an armored personnel carrier, with a fancy paint job. She was so intent on getting evenly into a tight spot, that as she moved back and forth, (with virtually no room between her and the cars on either side, she gave it a little too much gas, and ended up bottomed out with the middle of her frame resting on the blockade at the end of the asphalt. I am sure she did no damage, but about three or four other people warmed by the ambiance of her pushing in, just broke out in a belly laugh. I just remained incredulous, yet mirthful from a distance.

I can imagine the time they had towing that beast out!

The bitch 5 houses down that reports the stupidest **** to my HOA about her neighbors, she grinds my gears. They build 10 nice houses on top of where a school was demolished in a crummy neighborhood next to the tracks, this place should not have an HOA. She also regularly walks her dog past my house and lets it crap there, big dog, doesn't bother to pick up the mess.

There is a problem with what google is saying. Analytics will track the data based on each websites preference. So, website one may elect to mask IP addresses and website two does not. Additionally, in the case of website two, Google is saying they will not report the IP information to the website, but they still have the IP information. You think they put that in a log and forget about it?

The problem with Google is that the company is so big and so involved, that it can collect vast amounts of data on people without people really knowing it, which was the point of my OP. I personally knew of some of the stuff google was doing, especially with Android. What I didn't fully understand was how much Google was doing with browsers like Firefox.

Ghostery + AdBlock + HTTPS Everywhere + NoScript

If you're serious about online privacy, use TOR.

What does spitting accomplish? If you feel compelled to dish out some vigilante justice, register your complaint via key on the side of the car.

I have tried TOR and it really did not work for me. There were many websites that would not recognize me and I got a lot of "not available" responses. IDK why but it crashed on me a lot as well.

I run Torch browser which I like the media grabber feature a lot. The NoScript looks like a firefox plug-in. Do you know if it would work on Torch?

I haven't either, but if this sort of inconsideration drives you to action, do something that might make the as$hole change his behavior. A slashed tire or a crude phallus scratched into the paint would definitely send a message.

Happened awhile back but it was Mother's Day and I was riding with my parents in the car. Mom was about to pull out and make a left turn and this car comes flying over this hill and my mom was out maybe 2 feet into the road.

The other car was being driven by a young girl and her dipshit boyfriend was in the passenger seat. Kid flipped my mom off like a little hardass. What is wrong with kids these days?

Committing to anonymous browsing definitely requires some sacrifice. Lots of sh!tty sites won't work this way, and you always sacrifice some speed in the process. My feeling is that if a site can't run without loading dozens of Java scripts and tracers, I'm better off without it anyway.

I run Torch browser which I like the media grabber feature a lot. The NoScript looks like a firefox plug-in. Do you know if it would work on Torch?

NoScript is Firefox only, but there's a similar add-on for Chrome named ScriptSafe. I don't have any experience with Torch, though.

I'll never forget I was in Hollywood with my mom and sister late in high school... just to go really.

We are at a stop light but the light is green... some couple, douche bags that pretty much summarize what is wrong with this state, …Versace wearing, entitled, and completely oblivious to reality… walk into the street like the light is red and begin to cross…

My mom slams on the breaks as the not kill them and the lady walks over to her car and hits the hood screaming at my mom as if my mother should have been obeying traffic laws… the guy comes around to my door (I’m front passenger) and acts as if he’s gonna pull me out of the car Reginald Deny style… first and only time in my life I heard my mother drop the F bomb on someone…

All because they decided to ignore the good ole red hand and blame others for it… California in one big nutshell.

Code wise, Torch is Chrome-based. Supposed to be faster than Chrome and Mozilla. Its got a cool feature called media grabber. Say you are listening to Pandora and a song comes on you want, click media grabber and it will copy the song as a file onto your CPU. Same for you tube and other things like ebooks you downloaded from the library. Really actually nice. Also has a built-in torrent client but have not used that.
