I am probably on a NSA/G "Suspicious User" list as they only had some Youtube stuff and that was mostly a year old or older.

Mine was only Youtube stuff. A really weird, eclectic assortment!

Just YouTube and it appears to be only from the device I'm currently on, but that could be because that's the only one I watch YouTube on.

>> to post to my Bernie friends

Mike - I lived in Burlington in the Bernie era and he's no Hugo Chavez. He actually was a roll-up-his-sleeves mayor who focussed on basic issues (winter parking, failing sewer system) with a fluff of "socialist" veneer. I actually think of all the candidates, he would be the most likely to fix and harden our infrastructure (hard call since who knows how mayor scales to president - it's not like there was a lot of foreign policy work as mayor). I'm also quite certain he's the least corruptible politician in the race.

What's happening in Venezuela is absolutely tragic.  A result of deep corruption, utter stupidity and failed vision. I actually don't think there's a single candidate in this race from either party (even going back to when the primary fields were wide) that would to do the US what Chavez did to Venezuela.

I just did this from my work account. Considering that is 10 hours a day of blasting the web there was very little there.  Just youtube videos - most of which autoplayed at me rather than being watched by me.

Argh. I had an account linked to my Android phone. They have way too much info on me in there. Time to make some adjustments to my setup...

Just tried my other account.  yeah - wow.   Pretty scary when you see it laid out like that.
I wonder how many people still use their kids name or something as their Google password?

Yeah on desktop just some random vids, I think the most recent was last year.

My phone though? I jumped in on this one, turned/left almost everything on - full color tattoo plus a brand.

Oh wow, that's a lot of info.

It seems I'm a blank slate, which is pleasing.
I'd rather decline two drinks than one German adjective.
