    How does facebook know?

    It always asks me, "What's on your mind, Beaver?" It's uncanny, how does it know?

    When I was a kid, only "The Shadow" knew.
    A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

    I think it's kind of like a thermos. Keeps stuff hot or cold. How it knows which is which is a closely guarded trade secret.

    Facebook Android app caught seeking 'superuser' clearance

    And what reason would you have not to trust Facebook with your personal data?

    So touching...

    Just FYI, there is a "Lite" version of Facebook and Messenger for Android, you then you just make sure to turn off Continuous Contacts Upload, or whatever they call it now. It's supposed to use less background data and other shit. Don't know about the rest of the privacy bit, but it seems nice. More like the old version.
