Anyone wanting hugs and random non-sex chat on the thread here?

I worked for an advertising tech company and we would track/attribute ads that were being served to millions of different IP addresses. If the IP was a residential IP we could match it to a street address and actually connect it with all the other devices in that household. We didn’t use this for nefarious purposes but we could have easily started tracking where those devices would go and other creepy things.
How did they get the IP address data?
 
Lol came on here to escape such society-is-crumbling thoughts, need to think of something nice
Yikes! Sorry.

It has been a society-is-crumbling kind of time and I think I'm feeling kind of bitter.

Something nice would be, well, NICE! ☺️

Don’t apologize, I was talking about it too lol
And yeah it really is…

Yes, something nice would be so nice! Cozy up with a huddle of puppies under a warm blanket and listen to something soothing
Or alternatively forget that and find some skilled guy lol
 
From a tracking pixel that is placed inside the ad unit. When the ad is served if the device is connected to the home WiFi (which it usually is) we would get the home IP unless the home was using a vpn. Sorry to pile on more negative thoughts!:)
Lol sounds complicated. But the providers would have to sell them that location data?
Lol it’s fine, I did ask

Warm puppies. Warm boobies. A skilled guy. Or a skilled woman.

All nice thoughts!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe one of the original purposes of this thread was to discuss things like politics, art, music, philosophy, things like that?
Consider this the intersection of all of the above. I could watch this all day long and never tire of it.
 
Hi Boat, Jack - or FeatherOilHangman and Guardsman!

Yes!! No idea what the law was, but sometimes passion is needed, for lawmakers to realize the impact something unjust could have
Seriously speaking - how do you think it would go down if a Congressman or woman gave that kinda protest?

The proposed law has something to do with redefining a treaty between the government and the Maori indigenous people of New Zealand. It seems not everyone's a fan.

Yes, I read the article on this in yesterday’s WaPo online and clicked the YouTube link to the video. What struck me first is how commanding her voice was, and how her vocal instrument was strong and projecting. Then I realized that she was 💯 in, speaking for her people in her voice and theirs. It was fucking inspirational.

Mr. Potato Head with the gavel with the eye roll? Bless his heart.

Imagine if the United States had more provisions and inclusiveness for the indigenous peoples who’s land was taken by European invaders who then procured slaves as a bedrock of supremacy to build the world’s greatest democracy.

Absolutely. It’s lauded as some great accomplishment every time an indigenous person is elected to office, or people gain some minor concession, while in reality they’ve suffered centuries of injustice
Perhaps progress on climate change, and therefore nature and those who live closest to it might improve that, but now, with the incoming administration, that may all be reversed too…
