  • The point is that they are supposed to be a neutral party. It doesn’t matter if they are pro-Trump or not, what matters is that they are a fucking privacy service. I don’t want my privacy beholden to any party affiliation. I don’t want to worry if my information is going to be sold to whomever the party-du-jour is. I want the security that comes with the understanding that my privacy is what is most important to them. When they get on a rant about who does what and to whom, I have to wonder if that means that they’ll serve my info up on a silver platter when I start getting emails from a party they don’t like. I don’t give a fuck what they said about either party, what I give a fuck about is what any of it means for the information that passes through their system. I need some aspect of my fucking life to be party agnostic. As it stands, I’m not even sure I can count on my fucking refrigerator to not report back what brands of beer I buy because some company may or may not support Trans rights. Just give me a goddamned moment’s peace while I filter my junk mail.



















  • Everyone does everything to enrich themselves. The motivation for all life is to feel good. Sometimes money makes you feel good. Sometimes sex makes you feel good. Sometimes doing the right thing makes you feel good. In any situation, any person is going to be making the decision they make based on what will make them feel good. That includes “selfless acts” because even in those the joy of altruism can make a person feel good regardless of the hurt they may endure by their choice.

    The key is finding people that feel good for doing good things. No one is perfect, but some people try harder than others. And don’t put them on a pedestal. If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that our idols are just as bad as the rest of us.
