Apparently, "Fear" "Kill" and "Killing" are my favorite words.

Anyone who has seen my FB page will find that amusing.

I figured out Friedrich Nietzsche today what a drag man

You try writing philosophy with syphilis.

Thanks Nigel... and I agree, I think I look preferable with half my face not showing too! 

You're turning into Waffles.

What the hell is going on, here?

There's something really weird going on at work.  Extremely strange "errors" and breakdowns that are now too frequent to pass off as coincidence, but would take a lot of theoretical knowledge AND practical, hands-on experience to deliberately engineer.

Right before a contract with one of the largest electronic companies in the world, and right before we transition out of an R&D mode into production.

This bears thinking about.  And reading log books.  Tons and tons of logbooks.

That is suspicious as hell, indeed.

My boss has pronioa.

Well, this gives me a false sense of security:

"We Know Who You Are
(One picture listed, it's not me.)"

*

"We Know What Makes You Tick
TACTICAL APPROACH
Insufficient Data
Your psychological profile cannot be assessed due to limited information."

*

"Obsessions
INSUFFICIENT DATA. YOU EXHIBIT LOW RISK OF EXPOSURE. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE SECURE."

*

"Pawns
YOU EXHIBIT LOW RISK OF EXPOSURE. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE SECURE."

*

"We Know What You're Worth
(wildly inaccurate income range)
High Value Target
You have a high probability of multiple financial accounts and access to cash and material possessions."

***

Interesting. I also apparently didn't have enough info to generate the word usage graph.

Wow, apparently I say "I don't care" a lot and also generate a generally completely misleading sense of everything about myself, including who's important to me, where I go, how  much money I make, and what I care about. Also, I exhibit a high level of interaction with my dog, and she can be used against me.

Either that or the algorithm's broked.

I'm pretty sure that just means that you're using FB correctly.

The funniest thing is that I use my real name and assume that everything I post on Facebook is totally public, because, well, it is. Which makes the wild inaccuracy of these results that much funnier!

You know we're looking at the future, right?

We're looking at A future, yes.  A future in which a combination of wealth disparity and online shopping has caused many brick & mortar businesses to fail or rethink their basic strategies.

There are other futures.

I frigging hope so. A few months ago I was getting frequent visions of The Future, and I decided that prophecy is a HIGHLY overrated gift.

The ugly part is, we might be in the future that came closest to getting it right.
