Keep fooling yourself and hand over your soul to AI. There is no longer --- there never was --- any such thing as privacy on social media!

Google and Microsoft have built into their products every imaginable breach of privacy you can't even imagine.

Go ahead, mark something as "not for kids," "age restricted," or "private," and count the seconds until you're "investigated" and suspended by "technology" that has found you to be in breach of Community Standards. Enjoy your online exposure! You're being watched ... ALWAYS.

I posted this as a comment to a post on book burning, but in retrospect, I think you all should be reading it and giving it some serious thought.

The problem today is not book burning per se, since most people today don't open a single book most of their lives, once they've left school. The big problem today is right here: social media and addictive electronic devices. Studies show that social media is an addiction and a public health catastrophe. Worse still, it's dehumanizing, degrading, controlling, and all for political or economic gain. It used to be, that is, when we actually read philosophy and still had values and dignity, that human beings were never a means to an end but that has changed apocalyptically in the past 2-3 decades, and it's getting even worse with the ascendency of AI. Human beings are out of control in all senses of the phrase. If the problem were limited only to books, we could fight back and save books but when the enemy is everywhere and invisible, we are helpless. Are you enjoying the ride to hell?

Wasn't the annoyance of arbitrary and idiotic Community Standards enforcement by "technology," already too much? Now, "technology" is telling us that posts that "look like spam" are blocked? What in hell does SPAM look like?

This "technology" and AI BS is going way too far now. Social media and Corporations are cutting out the human element entirely, and we are fast becoming not only irrelevant and powerless, we aren't even being heard by ANYONE!

How far are you going to let this go before you finally wake up and smell the rotting corpses that were once "valued" customers and subscribers?

Is FB Community Standards going completely nutz?!? I'm getting these notifications in November 2023 that some of my posts go against Community Standards relating to cybersecurity!!!!

Has FB AI technology gone completely over the edge? This is becoming very, very scary and I'm now drafting a letter to my state and federal legislators, hoping they can do something about this lunatic technology!!! This FB "technology" Big Brother is becoming very ominous....

FLOOD FACEBOOK's COMMUNITY STANDARDS
with your demands to stop the spamming with those stupid weight-loss and Opra posts!
Facebook does NOTHING to clean up the spamming!
Why is it always up to us to do the cleanup?!?!

In this report, we discuss the problem of dog control in the Town of New Baltimore. State law and New Baltimore local law set forth requirements that owners of dogs control their dogs. State law in Article 7 and Local law 42 make it the responsibility of the Animal Control Officer (ACO) or Dog Control Officer (DCO) to receive and investigate complaints related to nuisances or hazards connected with dogs, and to serve notice of complaint or violation on keepers of offending dogs....

Sitting in a recent New Baltimore Town Council Meeting and observing the five puppets at the front of the meeting hall, I tried to interpret the body language being used by these elected hood ornaments in front of me. First, there's his most excellent dingbat, Town Supervisor Jeff "Pinocchio" Ruso — a stupider figure would be hard to find — doing his Joe Biden impressions, Councilmen…...

New Baltimore Town Supervisor Jeff Ruso, who, together with his deputy supervisor, Nick Dellisanti, who apparently represent New Baltimore Republican leadership or lack thereof, posted a very toxic message on the New Baltimore NY Republicans page. We quote it in its entirety below: On Tuesday, June 27th, we urge you to vote to make our Highway Department LEAN AND CLEAN and vote for Rob VanEtten....

So, New Baltimorians and New Baltimorons — you can decide for yourself which one you are — and neighbors, next time you rise to say the Pledge, just sit back down because you’re hypocrites, scofflaws, and freeloaders! You do nothing and most of you have done nothing to give you the right to repeat words of allegiance to anything! You’re moving your lips but not your asses to save your asses!...

Two candidates are vying for the position in the primaries: incumbent Alan VanWormer, a veteran of the Highway Department for well over 20 years. Opposing VanWormer is Rob VanEtten, an Albany County business owner, who resides in the Town of New Baltimore. VanEtten is also Councilwoman Shelly VanEtten's husband, and he's one of Ruso's appointees on the Town Planning Board....

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴?
𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 disrespect 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨?
I agree with Ms. Carol Jane Mejean-Mellencamp's comment on the Connecting Directors post, and share her sentiments on this bizarre practice but for somewhat different reasons. One of those reasons is that there is no healthy reason to take a loved one's cremated remains, ship them off to strangers, where they will be literally industrially processed into stones. First of all, there is nothing left of the loved one following cremation so the only content to the "stones" is in your head. Furthermore, the stones are representative of unhealthy grieving, and as a grief professional, I object to passing off a product as healthy when it is not!
I generally have a problem when a company partners up with another company and the messages get mixed or contradicted. A recent example that appeared here on LinkedIn is an advertisement by 𝘼𝙧𝙞𝙡 𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙡, 𝙇𝙇𝘾, promoting a cremation urn/cremation stone display urn, apparently to display cremation stones made by Parting Stone.
"ᴀʀɪʟ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀʀᴛɪɴɢ ꜱᴛᴏɴᴇ® ᴄᴏʟʟᴀʙᴏʀᴀᴛᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ꜱᴛᴀʏ - ᴘᴀʀᴛɪɴɢ ꜱᴛᴏɴᴇ ᴅɪꜱᴘʟᴀʏ ᴀꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰɪʀꜱᴛ ᴏꜰꜰɪᴄɪᴀʟ ᴅɪꜱᴘʟᴀʏ ꜰᴏʀ ꜱᴏʟɪᴅɪꜰɪᴇᴅ ʀᴇᴍᴀɪɴꜱ."
Isn't one of Parting Stone's sales arguments that their product, cremation stones, don't occupy the space of an urn, that the stones don't get tucked away somewhere because they're portable, and that there's no spillage? Seems to me that Parting Stone is talking out of both sides of their mouth. This is an either or situation so what's it going to be Parting Stone?

THE PROBLEM IS NOT LOCAL. SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN GREENE COUNTY, ALBANY COUNTY, AND OTHER COUNTIES ARE FACING THE SAME INSANITY. TAXPAYERS AND PARENTS HAVE NO VOICE!!!

In recent years we've all heard about malware and ransomware, and have seen the ads that promise effective protection. We are also well aware of the fact that artificial intelligence (AI) is pretty much behind everything we see and do on the Internet, particularly on the social media platforms, and we've all had some experience with the Community Standards police (AI) and their "ransomware attacks" holding an account hostage.

Unfortunately, much of the malware and ransomware we, as deathcare professionals have to worry about is not AI but fake experts and promoters of novelty products, and there's no total coverage protection against them. You really have to use your head. Now this species of fake-expert or novelty product malware has evolved to include double-violation and triple-violation risks that raise the stakes considerably even for potential victims who think they rigorously maintain their personal and their professional image, or may even comply with the "ransom" demand.

When I refer to "double-violation" and "triple violation" I am referring to levels of damage to which a deathcare professional can be exposed, if he's careless. The malware and ransomware are goods and services that mislead or deceive the professional into thinking that the information he's receiving is accurate and reliable, and what he's investing his trust, reputation, and resources in is ethical. This sort of malware has the potential of attacking a professional's tangible and intangible assets, and it adds the risk of affecting the victim’s image and exposing it negatively online. It may not stop there, since the triple-violation effect poses the risk of making the victim’s customers or business partners aware of the victim's poor judgment.

You as a deathcare professional cannot affort to stick your head in the sand! There’s no antivirus or antimalware solution to what gets into your head. Don’t become a victim of ransom-w…

“[C]remation is an inadequate way of disposing of the dead because it entails the destruction of community memory, and, by extension, community and individual identity. It deprives the living of these benefits, while also treating the dead in ways which goes against common intuitions about personhood, anthropology and respect for the will of the deceased. Death is perhaps one of the most important subjects in philosophy, and by marginalizing it through cremation and related practices, we deprive ourselves of its didactic and social uses.”...
