Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

You've also left the privacy erosion of the internet, there is a reason why Facebook, Google etc make around £350 on a person a year and the goverments have made whistle blowing against them illegal now that it's so cheap for data memory. Now where's my copy of Nineteen Eighty Four...

I'm back. I've come to the realization that I'm more likely to come back to this site the more depressed I am.

On the argument about the internet going to suck in the future, I'm pretty sure this is the rock-bottom and it's only going up from here. The internet is /the/ youngest form of media/communication. We don't have much security yet. When the internet matures, we'll probably see more security. Maybe a little less freedom, but no one should have the freedom to harm some stranger on the internet.

Unlikely since the US goverment where the likes of google, facebook, twitter are based are purposely keeping the restraints on the internet low, one because the social media companies are spending alot (hundred of millions) on lawyers to fight legislation of the internet and two because they already have laws that make it illegal to threaten, fraud people etc but adding any laws in addtion to relate to the internet means it makes it harder for them to exploit the loopholes for their own ends and without legislation you can't have things like accounability or transaparency come into play.

Oh man, I just had a telemarketer on the phone for 20 minutes, running his mouth while I looked up his "company", in which I got nothing but massive warnings telling me to stay the hell away from them. I then told them "Yeah, no, I looked you guys up, you're nothing but scammers" and hung up.

They then immediately called my phone 3 times in a tow, the third time leaving a messege saying "we're totally not scammers! We just need your ID, Social Security number, date of birth, and credit card number, as well as your last power bill, and we'll set you up with our starter package!"

...and to think, they're only the second dumbest scammers I've met this week. They're still topped by the ladies driving around a parking lot in an old Subaru begging people for gas money.

^why didn't just put the phone down after the first minute?

Yeah, I always just ignore those calls.

Personally, I would've just started rambling gibberish and just wait until they hang up. Might as well have fun with them .

I've done several times. I bet they get used to people doing that to them.

I wanted to see how long I could string him along without saying more than two words at a time. I forgot to note that part...

Next time you could try selling them something yourself.

"I've got some real good snake oil here..."

I had one heck of a weird dream last night, and though I don't remember it coherently, I do remember parts.

• The family was going to a Church dinner function, but I went to the restroom because I had to go before I ate. However, half the toilets didn't have privacy booths around them, and the other half were clogged (with various things, such as an empty paper towel roll).
• I finally found one acceptable to use, but whenever I sat down there was a ghostly infant cry coming from it, so I didn't want to use it. No one else in the restroom heard it other than my mother & myself (had no idea why my mother was in the men's restroom, though she was just walking by). I tried looking to see if one of the clogged toilets were fixed, but as they weren't I tried coming back to this one, however, the walls of the privacy booth closed in on it, making it impossible to get to it.
• Looking around the Church, I finally found a great toilet & was able to do my business. The bathroom was high up and had a window with a great view of a section of the Church that was a replica of the bustling streets of Jerusalem (interestingly enough, wih a river teeming with penguins).
• Other oddities include a group of aliens who had infiltrated the Church (wanting to control humanity by taking control of religion), being chased by a violent cat in the Jerusalem section (trying to climb my way back up to that restroom from before, but the only way to get to it being to climb a rope ladder or spiraling rail less stairs up over the height of a house), and somehow warping to a bathroom like the good one, but it was all ancient Roman stuff, with no modern plumbing (likely caused by all the Spartacus I've been binging).
• Oh, there was also a segment with lots of Dragon Ball Z characters interacting (I think more influenced by Dragon Ball Super), but I'm not sure if that was part of this dream, or a completely different one I had during the night.

Interestingly enough, I didn't have to use the restroom, despite all the dreaming I was having about it.

I WAS going to get Child of Light because of the sale...but I don't have enough storage...crap.

@NintendoFan64: Simple really, Delete something but not the save file and dl it. Dl the other thing you delete at a later date when you're ready to play it again. At least this way you have it and can dl it whenever you want in the future.

On it. In the mean time, I'm gonna look for an sd card.

@NintendoFan64: Sd cards only work for Wii games. You will need a usb flash drive or hard drive. Cheaper obviously usb flash.

@Spoony_Tech: Ah. Didn't know that.

Now where in the United States does school start already. I know some states have been pushing the date further and further into the summer but that's ridiculous. We don't start here till the first week of September but get out second week of June.

Well, I found out that there's a knock-off of "Up". It's called "What's Up: Balloon Rescue". I looked it up, and found this video showing some clips from it. WARNING: The following video can be seen as very offensive!

...WOW. This actually looks worse than "Food Fight".
Edit: I was wrong. The correct title is "What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue!"

Yeah, there's a cheapo version for basically every Pixar movie.

I think they're made in Brazil?
