Yes. Because you were after the goat from the beginning, so you still have better odds by switching.

If I remember, I think the math says to switch, but I genuinely have no idea why it would.

This is remembering the original problem. This problem is "different"

I always assumed FB and shit was probably unsecure as hell, and even if not relevant data could be scraped from public pages with a big enough computer doing it.

You know how it's illegal for the USA to spy on their own citizens, without suspicion and a warrant?

Guess what: the USA and Britain give "access" to the data of the other nation, we spy, we scan, and then we swap the relevant info back.

The USA isn't spying on Americans, the English are. And then the English are only giving interesting reports to friends in America.

NOTHING put online is private. I think tiktok is just the big bad wolf to keep us distracted from that fact. As soon as tiktok is gone, Americans: "Welp, I guess we're all private now."

Again, death penalty.
I pushed a cart in to the grocery store today, from the parking lot. I was kind of upset I didn't get acknowledged as a superior human being, or get a blowjob, or anything.

Of course I left the cart right there in the parking lot where I found it, like a sociopath.

ByteDance is considering selling TikTok to Musk.

The most toxic, yet truthful, and utterly odd place on the internet might be r/truerateme.

Sometimes I go there to be fascinated watching gorgeous women get absolutely shredded willingly by people you know would never have a chance with them in real life.

It's better than /r/RateMyNudeBody/ or whatever it is. Everyone's a "10" in that shit hole. NSFW Example. Almost every grade is 8 or above. Bullshit.
