For internet companies, their profiting off of not your wallet, but your personality and behavior.
Adam Ruins Everything talked about this in one of the segments in "Adam Ruins the Internet" where it shows just how deep the privacy breaches go with Facebook, and Google. At the end of the clip, he says that Facebook's information for you is worth just $12.00. "Your interests, your personality, your relationships, your privacy. Those things are priceless. But you gave them all away just to avoid paying twelve dollars." The clip can be found here.

Sharing memes on Reddit is fun, but it shouldn't dominate the front page 24/7 on Tildes. If there is ever going to be ~memes or ~memes.meirl or whatever, it's okay for them to be on the front page, but not always leave a mark there like Reddit.
Also, ~tildes.suggestions would definitely be a group I would really like to see.

Honestly, why do some teachers put on projects when there's only a week of school left?
Anyways, there's only 10 school days left for me, hopefully not making up for snow days at the end. -

Comment on What language are you currently learning and why? And how do you do it? in ~talk

On the real-life language side, I'm learning Italian, because most of my mother's family doesn't speak English, only Italian. I'm using Duolingo to do it, and I'm still trying to remember how to use all the different variations of words. And they also speak, like, really fast.

I also really like Krusty Krab Training Video because it really shows what goes on at the Krusty Krab when nothing exciting happens, and the new episodes "My Leg!" and "Moving Bubble Bass" that were written by the original creator, Stephen Hillenburg (It's such a shame that he has ALS) because we're finally getting a spotlight on some iconic background characters.

But Reddit is a big echo chamber and I hate the toxicity of r/The_Donald and r/incels (now r/braincels) leaks, so I hope Tildes won't get that. I also dislike Reddit because of Reddit's mass Groupthink™, for example, you get a few downvotes and suddenly you're at, like, -50. Good thing Tildes doesn't have downvoting.

Also, Metal Sonic at the post-credits scene.
It's surprising, and sad, that a group of fans can do better character personalities, and reasons why Knuckles is mad at Sonic, than the actual Sonic Team themselves.

Comment on Should how to use computers effectively be taught in mainstream education? in ~talk

Computers have been more and more becoming an integral part of society, with chatting services such as Google Hangouts, Discord, and Skype (However, Skype has been on a rapid decline) and email which students could use to discuss work and projects with, for example.
It's also an important building block in most workspaces, so it would make sense to teach computer literacy and programming like schools in my area are doing already.

Reddit's started to get a lot worse recently, so I needed a mature part of the internet who doesn't need to crack jokes every time they can, like Reddit.
Thanks for contributing to Tildes, guys, and I hope it doesn't get fucked when it implodes with popularity. It's nice and cozy here, just an unadulterated and pure site.
I think I'm gonna go out as Finn the Human from Adventure Time, I love that show to death and want to celebrate it's legacy.
