    Its first product, Tenant Assured, is already live: After your would-be landlord sends you a request through the service, you’re required to grant it full access to your Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and/or Instagram profiles. From there, Tenant Assured scrapes your site activity, including entire conversation threads and private messages; runs it through natural language processing and other analytic software; and finally, spits out a report that catalogues everything from your personality to your “financial stress level.”

    There are already some places that teach HR staff if you can't find someone's FB or Twitter history, that means it's probably been deleted by the person to dodge the digging.

    It's a violation of privacy and also just stupid.

    I swear, 'privacy' is just going to slowly become an outmoded concept over time. Like, when my nephew is my age, he'll have no fucking concept of what we used to mean when we talked about privacy or privacy rights.


    :|

    Yeah that's kinda the way it is going. I'm 30 and I already consider privacy kind of a privalleged bullshit concept. We haven't had privacy for a long time. Most especially in the face of developments over the past 20 years both technologically and governmentally.

    Its first product, Tenant Assured, is already live: After your would-be landlord sends you a request through the service, you’re required to grant it full access to your Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and/or Instagram profiles. From there, Tenant Assured scrapes your site activity, including entire conversation threads and private messages; runs it through natural language processing and other analytic software; and finally, spits out a report that catalogues everything from your personality to your “financial stress level.”

    I hate this so fucking much.

    I wonder how someone using that service will react to a person like me who doesn't use any of those sites

    Imagine a world where some formulated social media score was used in conjunction with your credit score, and having no social media was a negative?

    I could see that happening.

    There are already some places that teach HR staff if you can't find someone's FB or Twitter history, that means it's probably been deleted by the person to dodge the digging.


    That's one of the primary reasons I decided to start using FB again.
    That is so cruel. I love how cruel HR can be re:hiring *sobs uncontrollably*.

    all the gay sites I read are obsessed with str8 metrics lately
    like "read here how str8 guys do gay stuff more often"
    "str8 guys on reddit talk about their man/man experiences"
    "str8 guys now more likely to have casual sex with other men"
    anyways everyone needs to share all their stories

    BF/Future husband told me I am one of like three people who has ever gotten him to completion
    I was like O.O "I thought I was really bad with you or something I am so glad you told me this."
    Me? I'm like a mousetrap 24/7.

    I'm more on the future husbando end of the spectrum. Though recently I've been watching less porn and varying my jerking more and the results have been positive.

    ('like a mousetrap' = A+)

    I'm not attracted to men, but that is something that is very erotic.

    Even a bit artistic

    Time to set up a separate Facebook page to game the system.

    I've already started one, since an off-color joke from someone else I agreed with lost me an interview last week.

    The post was from 2009.
    woah how did that go down

    I called and asked and tried really hard not to explode over the phone.

    I'll nuke them too

    Send me deets

    I kissed a dude once.

    I felt absolutely nothing. It wasn't revusion or anything, just like... nothing.

    It was the moment I was most assured of my heterosexuality. I wasn't mad or fighting aginst it or acting in any overcompensting factor... it was just a thing that I felt absolutely nothing towards a opposed to the thunderstorm of chemicals that flood my system when I kiss a girl and like it.

    That is so cruel. I love how cruel HR can be re:hiring *sobs uncontrollably*.

    *shrugs*

    I can't speak to other areas, but the problem here is simply that there are too many applicants and not enough demand for workers. So HR departments develop some really intricate screening processes because they have a lot of people to filter through.

    With Love and Courage
