We’ll find you Amanda.

this has almost 11 million notes what is this

I’ve never seen this post once in 10 years on this site

@hellsite-hall-of-fame

I’ve never even heard of this before tho??? Wtf??????????

oh my god, I didn’t think there were any surviving versions of this post left

For those who weren’t around in the Deep Lore times, this is one of the relics of the editable post era. This post has THE SINGLE HIGHEST NOTES of ANY post on this site, bar none, but with more than a dozen variations. Every single post you’ve ever seen with more than 3 million notes has been a different version of this one.

This is the “Dean’s Gym Shorts” post. This is the Flubber post. This is the original “Reblog if you support gay people” post. it was ALL of them. before half the site got nuked, it had even more notes than it has now - at one point, well over 15 million, and that was years ago.

This, with no exaggeration, is the ONE TRUE heritage post

In case someone has told you otherwise: Science is not an ideology.

Science refers to the different fields of knowledge that emerge through using a particular model of discernment known as the scientific method.

Simply put, the scientific method is a formal process of doing experiments and seeing what happens. We fuck around, find out, and then fuck around some more based on what we found out. This lets us figure out what things are and how they work.

The drive behind science is curiosity. We have a natural desire to understand the phenomena around us and invent new things. It doesn’t beget the need to believe in anything, just to observe things and see what happens when we mess with them.

Treating science as some kind of religious doctrine is how we get Scientism, which is prevelent in nu-atheism and is, most importantly, not science.

Scientism takes scientific content and dumps it into a Christian cognitive framework, treating scientific conclusions as doctrines to abide by rather than as an interpretations of gathered data.

This is where eugenics comes from.

also greg is the most bisexual-coded cartoon dad ever

so greg you’re telling me your conservative family doesnt approve of your musical awakening coming from a naked gay icon in gnc/drag makeup and they want to send you to the military but you ran away and changed your name and ended up with a musical aesthetic best described as indie glam rock dad with a non-binary space alien gf instead? das crazy, tell me more about how straight you are

fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals.  protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.

the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than you’d think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity.  make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged.  and strike. attack.

YES

i’m a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but it’s almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used can’t be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word.

above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if they’re collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that

This makes me think that we need WAAAY more apps that generate junk data

Apps that generate junk data? tell me moooore.

Ooh I know this one!

Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money

TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc)

WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string “FuckOff”. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I can’t seem to find it

Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so that’s good enough for me

@afraidofamericans

Boy it SURE would be a SHAME if this were SPREAD AROUND for everyone TO SEE

The upside of this is getting some buckwild user surveys from the goog.

“In the last seven days, have you searched for Himalayan salsa recipes?”

“… sure.”

WAIT. Wait wait WAIT.

poltergeists:

• push things off tables
• break delicate objects for fun
• in general just enjoy moving and destroying stuff for pleasure I guess
• make loud disturbing noises in the middle of the night
• sometimes poke or bite people, depending on the myth
• are invisible aka no one knows what they look like

poltergeists are just the ghosts of rambunctious housecats
