I’m not a techie, so if I’ve asked a question that is offensive in any way, I apologize in advance.
I’m expecting this whistleblower to define exactly what is worth this post insinuating something that is sinister.
My parrots depend on Amazon as well.
The mix I use has seeds, pellets, dried vegetables & fruits, greens, extra vitamins added, & all sorts of other good stuff. It’s a far, far cry from the ordinary seed most people think of.
And you’re 100% right about them wanting what’s on the plate! Mine stands there giving me the stink-eye until he sees toast crumbs or biscuit crumbs fall off my plate. Then he’s in hog heaven. He also pecks at the inside of a banana peel & gets a potassium fix. :-)
Just deactivated twitter.com since 2008
Watch “The Social Dilemma.” Tells you all you need to know. Yeah, I know it came out on Netflix, but it’s revealing and frightening.
True. I ordered my wife not to post anything with my picture in it on her feed. You know Filipinos and social media. They take a dump and they post it on social media. Well she didn’t listen. I got a message from Facebook that they found photos of me using their image scanning algorithm. They wanted me to tag myself. She went ballistic and didn’t see what’s my problem with Facebook or Biden or China, and said stop with your conspiracy theories. She also thinks I’m lying about the complete Indian domination of the software industry in the US, as Indians are such fine folk in the Philippines (if money lenders/ loan sharks could be considered fine folks). She and all her relatives unfriended me including my kids, me.
Facebook is a powerful drug in the Philippines.
Also if you have face to face discussions with anyone about the current political situation you should put your phone in your car. Even turning it off won’t shut off the microphone. Try this experiment...put your phone (leave the phone turned in) on the table between two people. Start talking about some product you have not discussed ever like a new stuffed animal or maybe a set of tools. See if next time you go online you don’t suddenly see ads for the items you discussed. In fact I expect to see ads for stuffed animals this evening. Your phone spies on you all the time!
Thanks. You finally pushed me to do what I had been putting off.
You can download your stuff and create a zip file. The instructions are on FB. I am now done there so cannot point to location.
Is it? Not exactly, but our posts are available to view.
For those of us deurbanized, is there an alternative to Amazon? I have been looking for years.

Not really. It’s like if Sears was all woke in the beginning of the 20th century. They were so good at what they did, and completely dominated mail order, that was it.
No way in hell will I go back to 4-6 weeks for delivery.
Scary thought. Since all the grocery stores chains and all the big box stores are going woke, what’s are options? Considering in some areas, 70% of small businesses ceased operations due to covid-19 (and they typically were always 10 to 50% higher in price for most things)
I never saw more crybabies warning about this or that and being terrified instead of being armed and organizing.
OH WAIT!! The big bad scanner in the sky is gonna get all these words and come take me tonight.
I guess that is a possibility given I had no idea how many cowards were on our side.
I started getting the hint when covid happened
Data harvesting to cancel conservatives. Starts with making a living. They are already doing it to President T. and his people. Listen to some of The Usurper’s people. They are telegraphing. Not a joke.
I think it is tme to turn fr into a private club and not out in the public eye.
Agreed
Nothing wrong with being smart.
Or the microwave oven.
Other than here I’m never on any social media. Nobody in their right mind puts their life on the internet.

So friends, relatives and contacts you don’t have?
Not for putting my life in the internet, but unless you totally isolate or go back to extremely expensive voice phone calls, you are isolated.
Even businesses don’t use email anymore, except for the most official of business that they need a paper trail to. It’s all slack, WhatsApp, Google Meet, Zoom etc.
