teknoman2 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 1 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What?

HA! Good Fun! Well, he's looking for a job, so he might've been unemployed. I know from 10 years of experience at being unemployed that unemployment does give you alot of free time to kill. And somehow I managed to get a job with tonnes of free time to kill aswell. FML. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

I don't know about this. These 351 pages have three tweets per page, that means 1050 tweets across an indefinite amount of time (could be years) that he might have not even written himself and merely liked or retweeted (that's also what the search was after), and which based on the content of the few examples given looks to cover a very broad array of flags and interpretation of the same. And as Azdeus says, there's a lot of time to kill if one is unemployed. I agree that in general we ought to spend less time in social media in general and be more careful or have better judgement about what we upload to it, but at the same time this sort of twitter background check feels very extreme to me.

Gromnir Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 the shnook selective posted those social media examples he were thinking were particular egregious, so we are hardly getting a fair showing. even so, +1000 flagged strikes us as a large number, even if is broad categorized. as abrasive as is Gromnir, take all our posts from this board, near 15 years worth, and only a small fraction o' posts and likes could conceivable get flagged. heck, we dogged avoided wot for many years, so were limited to game development posts for more than a decade. how many such posts would be flagged under any categorization scheme? look at the victim's examples. is all from last few months o' 2019. didn't need dig deep into yesteryear, eh? yeah, if you are jobless then you are having much free time, but the thing 'bout compulsive behaviours is they don't stop just because you got a job. serious, wash this guy off and don't look back is our advice. even so, am recognizing we are old, so we don't get social media. need for people to post personal thoughts public and then reciprocate with likes o' 140/280 character epiphanies from rando bob or betty is beyond our capacity to fully grasp. we purposeful own an old flip phone so as to avoid smartphone umbilical syndrome. am admitting to being out of touch.

213374U Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) It's really great. None of the posts shown are even written by the guy. The flagging was done by an algorithm that some IT firm got paid to develop. Good money was in all likelihood paid for the "report", which will inevitably end up in a dumpster, after some HR schmuck wonders what he's doing with his life while going through all 351 pages of it. This must be what they mean by "service economy". My phone doesn't have internet connection of its own and it's been years since I closed the last of my social media accounts, but I'm pretty sure no one in their right mind would hire me if they went through my posting history here. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not. Edited February 1, 2020 by 213374U words are hard 1 - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
