No, your phone is not listening to you. Alexa is an AI developed to listen to you, so you're confusing things. If you choose to install shady apps, that's on you also. But, by default, your phone is not listening to you.

An anti-flat earth video was in my feed today.


Not sure why the algorithm is recommending this to me, I haven't been searching on this subject, but here it is.

My phone must be listening to me.

Please do not do this, Nathan. The whole point of this place is chat. It makes sense to limit posts in the the CPK Buy, Sell or Trade thread because people get alerts for new posts on that thread to try to obtain your knives when they come up at any random time. Who is getting alerts on this thread and why? Your sales are not random events that require alerts. They are annouced well in advance. AFAIK, most if not all happen at Fridays at 3 PM ET.

IMO, limiting chat here should be done with a light touch. It's your forum, of course, but I think this is a bad idea that would take this place toward an unfriendly path.

That's not entirely accurate. Sometimes, Nathan does some random/fun Friday sales that he announces just a few hours before, in that thread. For that reason, I'm subcribed to that pinned thread.

I don't mind the occasional post that has to do with the Next sale, but, lately, there's been a lot of unrelated chitchat there that had no place in that thread. For these reasons, I kinda agree with B bluemax_1 .

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Hey Cata, hope that you're doing well my ol' friend :)

After fonedork's counting and comparing his own post count on that thread to Max's, I got curious and pulled up my own past pollution level in there. Holy shyte, after I saw an archive of over 13 full pages (let's not do the math at roughly 20 per page!) I just ran away from myself! Case in point, I used to be a very big polluter, I'd like to think that I am now somewhat reformed and may even offer myself up for cap & trade in the new year.
 
Look what the wife made me for Christmas:
