Facebook Photo Security Activism

[pianist_envy]

Do you value your privacy on Facebook? Did you know that your profile security settings are independent of your photo album settings? That means your pictures can be entirely public even if your profile is not--all someone needs is a link to ONE of your photos (they can then browse the rest of the album). I find a common way this happens is if I

I definately amuse myself by looking through total strangers' albums through such a method lol
Im pretty sure Ive got my settings figured out right but I better double check.

p.s. I just downloaded and watched Idiocracy.. not exactly what I was expecting but pretty funny! And omnious. Except.. did you notice how everybody in dumb-land was happy? Not like in our semi-intelligent land. Hm. I'm not sure what to think now. Also noticed that despite the way they ruined stuff with their dumbness, after 500 years that worst that happened to the environment was a little bit of dust.

p.p.s. have you ever seen the movie I heart Huckabees? I think you'd like it.

A little dust? They had a crop shortage and mountains of garbage. There was a guy bleeding from his eye socket gambling for healthcare. Or the guy that got "rehabilitated" underneath the giant lawnmower, was he happy? What happened to the kids of the mother who couldn't afford that food? What about the plane full of people that crashed? I don't see how you concluded they were all happy

Well there, you said it yourself, they're doomed and they don't realize.. yeah obviously everything is really fucked up but all of them ARE happy because they don't have enough comprehension of the world to know any better.. I can't remember one person from that movie who wasn't enjoying themselves, even if they were clearly in distress.. they didn't really comprehend that they were in distress, or not for long enough to be upset by it.

And yes, mountains of garbage, that's what I'm saying, mountains of garbage but NO global warming? no floods, melting ice caps, rising temperature? the only reason they had a crop shortage and dust storms were because they were WATERING THE FIELDS WITH GATORADE!!!!!!!!!

Do you understand what I'm saying yet? We really have trouble understanding each other via internet lol

[pianist_envy]

Well first you're suggesting that ignorance is bliss, as evidenced by the movie. Then you're saying that we don't actually have to worry about anything, other than watering our crops with Gatorade? You must be joking about one of those concepts, but you can't be agreeing with both.

I still think dumb people get depressed. If you have the capacity for happiness, you have the capacity for sadness. Cows and fish feel pain too. They're reactionary about it, but they still have unhappy moments in their lives.

If you have that much faith in ignorant bliss, perhaps you should get lobotomized?

YOU are pianist envy?!?!
COOL!
I had a feeling it was you, but I was never sure.

We've totally had this discussion before in the form of LJ comments. It may have been the other way around though (I thought you were Helen's sister for a while).
