INCORRECT. My skin is just a little dry due to chlorine and I am simply hypervigilant about skin care and a proper nightly cleansing and moisturizing routine. Also, everyone needs Korean snail-based moisturizing products.

Best actual thing is the descriptions for quicksand porn. Also the studio that makes it will let you travel there to make your VERY OWN quicksand porn.

This is one of those things that starts off sounding terrible and is actually much worse than it sounds. There are reasonable countermeasures against most privacy invasions. Browser plugins do a good job blocking tracking scripts, blocking third-party cookies has been built into browsers for years, you can use DuckDuckGo or Disconnect to keep searches private, there's even simple plugins for more esoteric stuff like browser fingerprinting (many links below).

But you cannot hide traffic from your ISP short of using TOR or a VPN. This means you either need to pony up the cash for a VPN, deal with the inherent slowness of TOR (good luck streaming your 4K UHD 3D VR porn over TOR), or accept that the GOP just sold your privacy for pennies (I think I remember somewhere that your profiles are worth like 10 dollars to advertisers). Not to be overdramatic but this is among the top worst possible things to happen for your privacy (I'd hazard that it is actually the second worst; first being ISPs requiring you to install self-signed certs as part of your service agreement).

Potential lawsuit idea: wait a year, then sue for copyright infringement.

Let's see if I remember, this evening, to search for the several stories over the last five or eight years, about people taking pics of US and UK legislators from the gallery... and noting the pr0n on their legislative laptop and mobile phone screens....

He was also Berry Gordy's son, so he was first in line for a contract, advances, payola money, etc.

I guess it's off to the library computers for the porn now.

Oh good - so I'm going to see more Sean Cody ads (I get it - they're very very straight and very very horny) that I didn't ask for.

Fucking hell America.

Obama also said he believed in gravity. I wonder what law repubs will be repealing next?

I can't even swim in the winter or I risk a 2-week long itchfest.

They do. I clicked on a friend of a friend's FB page because he was saying some fairly RWNJ things and I had a sense of morbid curiousity. For days after that, I received ads from an organization called "Friends of the Confederate Flag."
