Setup a fake account. Use a friend's bday you'll remember. Its not hard. That's like saying "people who use email are dumb fucks" since they also ask for bdays.
God forbid people enjoy some vr.
You think that's all they collect? You bought one, didn't you?
My kids got one. We don't have FB accounts. I have pihole setup as my DNS, don't have cable, use Firefox and ublock, ads mean fuck all to me. I ride the high seas, have been since Napster. I pay for what I like, avoid what I don't.
I'm old enough that if there is something they don't know about me, it's not hard to find. People act like a company knowing their name and adress is going to send them to a early grave or something.
You need to find your balance of security and convenience and learn to live your life.
Your...name and address? What century is this?
You keep asking questions and providing nothing. Put up or shut up.
You want my name and address? That seems kind of rude. Why?
In what way did I ask for that?
So what were you asking?
WHAT? I didn't ask a damn thing, I said YOU need to find your balance of security and convenience.
YOU keep asking random questions. Wtf are you on about? You're talking shit about people with quest hardware like we sold our souls.
I don't use Facebook, I don't care about ads since they're all blocked. What is your beef with people enjoying life?
Yeah I hate you because you're happy. I'm just a bitter spirit of elemental jealousy.
