McDonalds and Corporate Surveillance | IT'S HAPPENING... | The Hated One Predictive surveillance is here and it’s near impossible to escape. My independent research cannot happen if you don’t support me: / thehatedone What if I told you that McDonald’s has a 500-page-long dossier of your personal life? A dossier that doesn’t just contain information about what you ate the restaurant but one where the company has followed you everywhere on the web? Where it tracked down your social media posts and spied on you from inside third party apps on your phone? It’s a personal file on you individually with your name, address and everything that identifies you and your movements. And it’s not just a historical record of what you did. It’s a list of predictions McDonald’s made about what they think you’ll do in the future. If this doesn’t sound real or too much like from a dystopian SciFi novel, all you need to do is to visit McDonald’s Privacy policy website and request your very own copy of every piece of data McDonald’s holds on you. If you are a resident of California or any member state under the European GDPR law, you can get access to your very own Minority Report. Not only is all of this real. The true scale and depth of the new age of AI corporate surveillance goes far beyond what we previously thought was even imaginable. McDonald’s isn’t alone in this new surveillance scheme and in fact, they probably weren’t compiling these records all by themselves. They could’ve been helped by what is now a secret AI industry that is doing something behind closed doors that nobody has any inkling about. They are collecting information on hundreds of millions of people with a new purpose. Not for targeted advertising. They don’t run any ads. Not for personalized experience either. They don’t have any users. What they do with all that data is to give every individual person a secret “consumer score”. It’s a hidden rating that can determine everything from how long you’ll be put on hold during a customer service call, what offers you get or what rewards you’ll receive from a loyalty program. A retailer can use your score to fix prices you pay or products you see. Airliners use these scores to choose who gets a seat upgrade. Credit card companies can use these consumer scores to decide if they want to make you a counter-offer if you want to cancel your card.

The big critic I see from "we shouldn't vote" is that there will be opposition... Guess what? Other forms of organizing and protest will also be opposed. And we should still do them. If a movement is real and serious that organizing to vote in primaries is really not a big deal. Blue no matter who is really just a last resort and if you don’t want to then you should at least spoil your ballot. PS anything you consider more effective than voting can still be done btw. Change is not an all or nothing (tho given the mindset around many here they should not be surprised when they really do keep getting nothing)

Did they use the free tier or paid?

50% of her came from her dad. Besides it can take a while for a f*male to reach an orgasm; all the while your cock is soaking up the estrogen from the tap (not good for your T levels) /s

Not selling the rope looks bad in Q3. Shareholders might hang you for that.

So about a year ago I was into this game and finished it. It was pretty good for an indie survival game. It seems to be rather underground as no one ever seems to talk about it, nor is there a niche about it. Has anyone else played it?

Still its crazy to think an average person could finance one. I’ve seen brokies in Texas with trucks they paid more than one of these rockets.

Ted Cruz seems rather chill about being an online lolcow. I feel he did read it. I’m sure he’s framed many of Internet Comment Etiquette’s tweets too.

Can we get maintained front ends on the sidebar? cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/52513533 Sometimes I will share a resource on YouTube here. I think it is good on its own for the community, but really its a good intro to share with friends and family. People often push back because of the link being YouTube, fair, but simply saying find a front end is kind of entailed. Many that are public go down and never come back, and the link does have the video ID at the end of the URL so if you are self hosting you can just load it up.

Which mod stood out the most?

Lamp, so where is the most active comm?

Christians also get mad when they are asked to love their neighbor. Oddly it does mean that taking Christianity seriously can often mean leaving the faith.

What's your take on motorcycles?

Your position seems to be “I’m sorry if the problem isn’t immediately solved by doing one thing, then what does it matter?” From my pov that is the ml stance as they have a very defeatist attitude. Particularly around voting.

Thank you!

I assume there aren’t enough people to oppose it.

Hey bro reminder to talk to your doctor about colon health

Im sorry, did the genocide end? Its my understanding that its still going. More over our previous opportunity to at least put a speed bump passed and it seems .ml wants to squander another.

LMAO! A “speed bump”? Wow, that’s the only thing you’d hope for concerning a genocide? To inconveniently slow it down just a little bit? Fair a total ending would be better. So how far along is your organizing to giving Israel its blow to end the war? Soldiers have to live to fight another day. A speed bump helps with that, a thing .ml is unwilling to provide its allies.

I’ll face opposition so I’m just going to get out of the way, but trust me I’ll be there for harder things while being unwilling for the easy stuff

Yeah telling people off for voting for genocide sure is purity testing. Yeah let me leave the door open for crusaders who extra want Gaza destroyed in office. That will stop the war in no time.

Tankies won’t but the effort into voting but want to be perceived as serious to actually be marching in the streets. They have some real criticism of the dem establishment, but no real perspective that they are surrendering office to fascism.

To win a war you have to live to fight another day.

Yeah .ml has always been special with these hot takes. I empathize with their reservations around the broader dem party it is still where the progressive movement lives. Its hard to see them as serious when they are more concerned with purity testing. Like I get it. It would be nice to have the most gung ho types in congress and senete, but even a “shit lib dem” is going to move slower on all the things they care about than a crusader R. I guess its easy to wait for the right candidate when you are not under siege.

I find giving support to genociders to be detrimental to social progress Primary. Support progressives. Standard blue is a last resort.

c/credibledefense

while any actual vector of progress gets shut down, Support them anyway. Is taking an evening to vote in primary and election day too hard for you yet expect others to velive your serious about higher level activism?

Its not a joke. It is a call for help.

Senator, what are you doing here?

One might wonder why these groups are cracked down on viciously as soon as they get any traction, Ohh no there opposition to reform. Let me also discourage other forms even tho its easy to do more than one thing

Instead of not voting, spoil your ballot. Reject this shit. Show that you want to vote and that none of the options presented are worth voting for. Many of our fellow lemms just can’t be bothered to do that. Can’t vote our way crew has some points, but the fact they aren’t willing to vote in primaries or spoil even means they are also not credible for higher level protests.

And you care so much more as to do… nothing? You know you could join Hamas or the Houthis?

Try from yt itself

Better than voting for genocide and then hibernating for 4 years. Its not clear to me that the grass roots outside of the DSA are doing much to sour the opinion on the war or having material effect on Iraels ability to conduct it. The Houthis are not mls and they are putting up far more.

Abstaining isn’t going to help either. We need to vote in primaries. Blue no matter who is a last resort.

I mean you aren’t contributing to the community by fixing them in a comment… So yeah

If you look at the original it was fixed, but now that has been passed to the cross post.

People join and support groups that take real action. Take the houthis for example. MLs by comparison can’t even fill out a ballot.

Ppl also forget local elections

Preach

It is and all too common from .ml

We can stop trying to convince vocal non-voters Its not about them. Its about lurkers who are reading and might accept their faulty logic.

Toll roads for everyone? id hope Monkey Paw Granted but its because you now live in ancapistan

Vincent got primared by a DSA candidate who did pretty well all things considered.

The links are the source for the video. If you go to the videos discription they are working.

I remember finding some nutjobs list on woke games that had Helldiver’s on it because of the interracial couple in the cut scene.

I think its fair many don’t know about that. Its basically like engine breaking on ICE cars, but better as you get to recapture the energy. I have a motorcycle and often engine break.
