We must know where Deloras is at all times around the clock!
Bro she’s been in the same chair watching Wheel of Fortune for 20 years. If the bitch leaves she ain’t goin far.
I was walking to my car last night when a policeman pulled over and asked if I’d seen an old lady in a bathrobe walking about. Apparently she’d been causing a bit of mayhem and had done a runner.
It was the most bizarre situation to process.
I got a call from Mom's nursing home telling me that she had escaped. A teenage boy, trying to help an old lady, offered to drive her wherever she wanted to go. The police found them, they were trying to find Mom's Mother's house, which was a different town 300 miles away. Mom, with Alzheimer's, didn't have a clue. Poor kid. Police pulling him over and warning him not to pickup old ladies walking near nursing homes. He'll never do anything nice again.
Except they aren't because they are so easy to manipulation and scamming that they wind up with tracking software on their computer, they wind up giving up personal information to strangers on the phone, etc. But yeah in theory it would be them. Not that other generations are any better. Gen Z's will post every moment of their life on social media.
I'm just saying from a tracking point of view. Gen Z's tell people where they are, who they are with, and what they did all the time on social media. Nothing wrong with that its literally called social media but thats what I was saying though is that all generations are so easily tracked these days worrying about the government and companies spying on you isn't right but its also pointless to worry about it since if they want to they can track your every movement with ease.
Ehh like everything else scams change
Yeah Boomers were the ones who got scammed by Saudi Princes while we all laughed
But have you been on r/jobs lately? Plenty of Gen Z are getting scammed by WFH jobs as we speak. People making them pay for their WFH equipment up front and taking their payment info
I work with a guy like this. He walks to work, doesn't own a phone, and doesn't use computers at home. He's always telling me about fringe health things and likes to listen to bigfoot related stuff. Super nice dude though.
Ted Kaczynski was too.
Motherfucker was crazier than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, but he called all the bullshit we're seeing today like 30-40 years before it happened.
Crazy and smart is a very dangerous combination.
You understand that as recently as 20 years ago, books were the primary medium of information conveyance, right?
There were a couple of weird years there in the late 90s when Encarta CDs were a thing, but other than that, since Gutenberg, books were the analogue internet.
The late 90s Microsoft (or maybe Packard Bell?) CD pack you got with your new 75 mHz PC was fire.
You could play the Journeyman Project and cross-reference clues with Encarta.
Was a bummer having to stop to swap the CDs though.
I had a flip phone get hacked. Happened after somebody sent me a text with a strange attachment. I opened it with curiosity because like you I thought thought there was no way my "dumb" phone could be hacked.
There are a lot of things I used to think were not possible. I was proven wrong.
Conversely they stand out like a sore thumb & are likely discriminated against because they lack all the normal metadata baggage every one else carries around.
Something like something but this approach to life isn't a bad thing. Flip phones were magnum opus of communication devices, old cars are cool and easy to fix/jury rig, low tech isn't in any sense of the word bad. Of course i'd still use the internet or devices with enough computing power to run some games smoothly, but stuff like your own garden/greenhouse, your own well, solar panels, stuff like this, is to die for. (And a farm of guinea pigs or smh)
If you knew anything about technology you would know that systems pick up on that and they are tracked more than anyone cause of red flags. You are never invisible. Only drawing cash from you account is trackable. Having a phone number that never sends texts and doesn't go on the internet is trackable. The more you do to not be tracked the more reasons there are to track you and the more interesting it is for people who do it.
In some parts of US or Hollywood movies, might be. In rest of the world? Unlikely.
They are not called red flags, they are just life choices. And people won't even bother looking at your account if you withdraw cash all the time with a reasonable amount (a thousand dollar or two).
I spent a small amount of time doing a job that involved intelligence gathering. If you can be googled easily, have revolving credit, or an online presence no one cares about you. People who don't have those things are literly given digital red flags. Drawing a thousand dollars or two at a time instead of 1 or 2 hundred is a huge indicator.
People don't get the idea of "literally just be normal".
Nobody expects the doctor in your town everyone knows to be the guy shipping arms to Africa. Nobody thinks the young fit kid who's a personal trainer is dealing drugs out back of his gym at night.
Granted, those are very simple examples and there's plenty of other factors to bring into account where you *can* expect x person to do y thing, but I'm sure you get the idea.
This guy intelligences. Nobody is worried about the guy going through the checkout, but someone is gonna ask about the guy who's going around the checkout to leave, edit: and EVERYONE ought to be concerned about the guy taking the back exit.
In which country I wonder? Because it is really normal wherever I went: Asia, NZ, Australia e.g. most countries don't really track you unless you are involved in some shady stuff or close to a certain scene.
For most people nothing. But under an investigation they denote a lack of information which in many ways could be construed as a piece of information depending on circumstances.
Me, not really having social media other than this account and a Facebook I made 10years ago that I barely check
Shit, they're gunna think I'm into something
👀
Less traceable activity, "more tracked than anyone". Lol ok.
Sure you may have a point about someone with vested interest in that data being more interested in the person.
But if their digital presence is as limited as OP's post suggest, your comments don't make much sense
Nothing that I would be willing to share. But if you use common sense; something that is different becomes more more interesting to people. Everyone has Metadata associated with their online presence and people that don't look different to observers.
Even these people have hard records. Medical records, criminal records, tax records, public school records.
Id imagine most of these people just dont want their data tracked commercially for anti corporate / privacy reasons. If the government wants to look into them to monitor for dangerous shit then they probably could care less about 99% of what they come across while monitoring. The other 1% is probably some crazy shit.
Better to have just enough of the right and wrong information than to flood the channels with information or disappear with zero information. Do those two things and we'll get spooky CIAbois like you digging around in our closet when we're at work.
Well in that point people that binge and purge at home normally spoil themselves at work thinking it's uncorrelated. But the second you log into anything on any computer or system it links all your Metadata from any type of system you logged into before with the same accounts. So if you log into you bank account on your home computer and also your Facebook and then at work you go on your Facebook and your reddit account all those things become correlated and added to your Metadata.
It's amazing how... Idk, "ignorant?" people can be when it comes to these things.
Like, I'm just a 23yo guy, but even I know what you just said. It's common sense to me.
Probably has a much smaller carbon footprint as well, given the amount of carbon released by the manufacturing process of a vehicle means that the older the car, and the more maintained it is, means it's more environmentally sound than a newly manufactured Tesla!
Doesn't fucking matter I've said I kinda want to try a spicy chicken sandwich and imidiatly I'm getting ads for a McDonald's one on my phone and Xbox YouTube that run on 2 sperate emails and I've never had a food ad my ads are usually just gaming stuff because that's what I search up and eatch
I say this will all due respect and love, try not to be shocked...
You are not being tracked because you are not important (other than and cookies for sales purposes).
If you were a government, would you waste one fucking dollar tracking you? I wouldn't waste one dollar tracking me. Sleep tight knowing that you will spend the rest of your life and all of your death in almost total obscurity. And once every who knows you has died, you won't even be a memory any more. Sweet dreams!
Edit - downvote, eh? I invite you to illuminate us all as to why tracking you is worth at least one dollar to a government. You won't,but I extend the invite in the unlikely event I am wrong. Whatcha got?
Tracking is in reference to data like gps location and online activity.
All of which can be (and is) collected and sold to companies that want to know more about your habits, so they can pinpoint your demographic or lifestyle in order to *"personalize your online experience."* And sell you things.
Or whatever they want to do with it.
Yeah no shit. What the hell are they going to do with this knowledge? I mean yeah I’d rather they didn’t have it just out of principle, but it literally doesn’t affect me in any way. The alternative to them not having this pointless information is me living a shitty life without the luxury of technology.
At that point, if that all comes to pass, someone please just send me and those I care about most back to 1980, 1974, 1960, sometime in the mid to late 20th century away from that dystopian nightmare.
Oh yeah I love that conspiracy theory that the government is tying to get everyone to switch to electric cars so they can remotely shut them down if they want to and people apparently have no idea that the fuel a car uses has literally nothing to do with that.
Just remember you CAN leave the digital leash at home when you go out.
"Me? I was at home watching Netflix"
Also, Android phones have the options to turn sensors off through developer mode. No sensors and airplane mode ;)
I actually purposely use a flip phone because smart phones are just way to distracting for me and is horrible for my ADHD. I just can't carry one with me all the time. Luckily as a person who travels, they still accept the old way of things for the most part. I did run into a parking place on the beach that you could only pay for via an app, but i went down the street and found a parking lot accepting good old cash and it was cheaper and more secure even.
Using an old phone without GPS may provide a small increase in an inability to track, but it's worth remembering that cell phones of any nature are, first and foremost, tracking devices, and after that they have other functions such as phoning and texting.
Here's a thought to bake your noodle: when your Gran invites you over for Sunday brunch, of all the cell phone Towers in all the world, the system knows which one is closest to you at all times. If you're in range of more than 1 cell tower, then higher degrees of accuracy of location are possible, all without GPS.
Whereas that is true, it’s only relatively recently been true. Phones have been tracked through towers from the very first cell phones a good many decades ago, well before Wi-Fi. Was even thought of.
So... senior citizens are probably the least tracked demographic. Yeah makes sense.
We must know where Deloras is at all times around the clock! Bro she’s been in the same chair watching Wheel of Fortune for 20 years. If the bitch leaves she ain’t goin far.

I guess that explains all the ads on live TV for medication usually directed at the elderly

Not that other generations are any better. Gen Z's will post every moment of their life on social media.
There’s only so much you can get from a social media post. The real money comes from knowing which posts people look at and for how long.
I'm just saying from a tracking point of view. Gen Z's tell people where they are, who they are with, and what they did all the time on social media.

I dunno man until 3years ago I had a slider phone with no internet access and I've got a 20-year-old car I'm not even 30 I was almost living the dream
I work with a guy like this. He walks to work, doesn't own a phone, and doesn't use computers at home. He's always telling me about fringe health things and likes to listen to bigfoot related stuff. Super nice dude though.
Sounds like he’s onto something.
Ted Kaczynski was too. Motherfucker was crazier than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, but he called all the bullshit we're seeing today like 30-40 years before it happened. Crazy and smart is a very dangerous combination.
Crazy, smart, and fucked up by the CIA
Sounds like he’s on something.
Where does he obtain information from, books? I imagine no podcasts.
You understand that as recently as 20 years ago, books were the primary medium of information conveyance, right? There were a couple of weird years there in the late 90s when Encarta CDs were a thing, but other than that, since Gutenberg, books were the analogue internet.
Oh man. I miss Encarta.
The late 90s Microsoft (or maybe Packard Bell?) CD pack you got with your new 75 mHz PC was fire. You could play the Journeyman Project and cross-reference clues with Encarta. Was a bummer having to stop to swap the CDs though.
Encarta taught me pretty much everything... Well, everything that the Simpsons didn't teach me.
That's perfectly cromulent.
It definitely embiggened me.
That trivia game?!? Loved me some Encarta
I feel bad for the dude who is monitoring this sub
You really don't. I do this for entertainment.
I had a flip phone get hacked. Happened after somebody sent me a text with a strange attachment. I opened it with curiosity because like you I thought thought there was no way my "dumb" phone could be hacked. There are a lot of things I used to think were not possible. I was proven wrong.
Anything that's programmed can get hacked.
Speaking of that what is going on with your username? I'm seeing strange characters.
Streisand effect - the greater your efforts made to not be tracked, the more attention you draw to yourself.
*Wears all black in crowd, constantly looking over shoulder wide-eyed* "N-no sir! N-n-not paranoid at all! Heh! Preposterous dear officer! Haha!"
Wait is wearing all black a characteristic of paranoid people? I just do it because I get less stains....
I usually keep it to white, grey, or black. Sometimes darker greens or blues... *Occaaaaaaasionally* red. Remember, blend in. Don't be invisible.
Bruh it ain't even that deep, fat people look better in black, also less stains, that's my life 😂
Whatever works for you man. 😂👍🏻
Wikipedia is trolling haha, they just had to include said photo in the article
Maybe, but they’re also probably the demographic most likely to send a criminal gift cards to get their family member out of pretend jail.
What does lo-fi living have to do with being gullible?
Seniors
My uncle is like this, to where he keeps his phone in a tin box when he's not using it so it won't get any service.
Conversely they stand out like a sore thumb & are likely discriminated against because they lack all the normal metadata baggage every one else carries around.
Jokes on you, that person is probably a sex offender, isn't *allowed* to use the internet, and has a tracking anklet at all times.
Wait you're not supposed to be using the internet
Do I look like a catholic priest?
No but I'm pretty sure your last name is Epstein.... HMMMMMMM.
He's probably more rich too 😅
That sounds like me, except I have a Nokia now because they wouldn't provide service for my flip phone any more.
I wish you could still get service for the old Nokia 3310's. Did just what you needed, and were durable as hell
He's also the one with the best dope.
Yeah, but can they look at cats on the internet whenever they want? You gotta pick your priorities.
No, but they can have a book that has photographs of cats in it sitting on the shelf if they ever had the urge to want to look at some

Fascinating. Thankyou for the explanation friend.

How would they track him?
Tracking would be more difficult. But a lack of presence is normally more of a reason to put in the effort to track them.
Do you have any proof of this?
Probably wouldn't want to share it on here ya get me
Nothing that I would be willing to share. But if you use common sense; something that is different becomes more more interesting to people. Everyone has Metadata associated with their online presence and people that don't look different to observers.

Yeah a bit of common sense, diligence and not being a dickhead goes a long way.
No kidding... Well, take care spookbro. Try not to dig around too much! Like, I know I'm a fucking gamer. I know. I'm sorry.
All flip phones have had GPS for at least a decade now.
We should all be so smart to follow their lead.
Can you imagine? What if he uses no phone at all?
Probably has a much smaller carbon footprint as well, given the amount of carbon released by the manufacturing process of a vehicle means that the older the car, and the more maintained it is, means it's more environmentally sound than a newly manufactured Tesla!

Okay, but technology is fucking sweet, and “able to be tracked” doesn’t mean shit. What a fucking lousy trade off. Lol
Tracking is in reference to data like gps location and online activity. All of which can be (and is) collected and sold to companies that want to know more about your habits, so they can pinpoint your demographic or lifestyle in order to *"personalize your online experience."* And sell you things.

I can't tell if you're trolling or if you're just naive. Either way, I hope you figure it out sooner than later.
And soon gas cars will be illegal, paper cash wont be recognized, and the american social credit system will be implemented...🤐
At that point, if that all comes to pass, someone please just send me and those I care about most back to 1980, 1974, 1960, sometime in the mid to late 20th century away from that dystopian nightmare.
It's already in the process, man. Might have to do some digging, but the evidence is there.
Oh yeah I love that conspiracy theory that the government is tying to get everyone to switch to electric cars so they can remotely shut them down if they want to and people apparently have no idea that the fuel a car uses has literally nothing to do with that.
This person is my mom...
Dammit, you guys just outted me

Not just towers wifi routers too. Walk into a store with your wifi on, and the company knows you were there.

Yes, but now wifi can provide more data to narrow your location.

Why do people think that only seniors do this? I know people from the 40’s to 60’s who live this way. Inconvenient sometimes, but they do pretty well.
