Quote from: Verbatim on April 09, 2015, 03:05:26 PMReally the only reason that I care about my privacy is the social implications of certain things I may browse or look at online. It's not illegal but it will have a negative effect on how society might view me. There is always a chance that I could be wrong, however I choose not to share that and take a chance.On the other hand I do agree that if everyone was 100% honest with how they lived and presented themselves as, we wold have no need for this discussion.

Thank you.So, your issue lies with the social implications of what you browse. Okay, so you care about your image. I care about my image, too, to an extent. But if preserving my image means that I have to shield who I truly am to people, then it's not worth it to me. I don't care about the social implications of what I do. I can respect that if someone else might, but personally, I'd rather submit my "true" self to people, so to speak. For better or for worse.
Could it be, perhaps, that there's no logical/rational reason at all? And you're just a scared child?
I should take up Buddhism.
Quote from: Verbatim on April 09, 2015, 03:31:49 PMI should take up Buddhism.Why? Schopenhauerianism is already Buddhism, just without the bullshit metaphysics.
Religion's no fun without metaphysics.
One warning has already been issued for insults and personal attacks in this thread. More will follow if this discussion can't continue in a civil matter.

Things are fine now, but people were going at it pretty hard just a page ago. Plenty of insults being thrown around. This is just a general warning for those people not to start that up again, or they'll both get hit harder this time around. Serious board is for serious discussion with a certain standard of civility. Just briefly reminding everyone of that so that I don't have to whip out the banhammer.
I wouldn't care if someone wanted to watch me getting a blowjob. That instance is different, though, because I'd also need the okay from whoever's blowing me, as well. But when it comes to solo activities, no, I could have an entire audience of people watching me for my entire life, and I would not give a single fuck.If someone actually wants to hurt me for whatever reason, that's their issue. That's an issue with mental health. Because you'd have to be fucking mental to actually want to hurt me for anything I have personally done in my life.I already have. I have no secrets. All of the people I hold dear, all the people in close intimacy with me, and every one of my trusted friends knows practically everything there is to know about me. I wouldn't know where to start with you, because I don't know what a "dark" secret is. I've never really done anything that interesting, either. And even then, there's no proof that I have/have not done any of these things, either, so it seems pretty fruitless, but if you really want me to list things about my life to you, I will.Yes, yes. EVERYTHING. I've already divulged EVERYTHING. Just because I don't care about my privacy doesn't mean I'm gonna go out of my way to reveal my personal life at every single opportunity. I'm just saying, if there's ever a time when someone asks me an "intimate" or "personal" question, like, "Have you ever wanted to kill yourself?", I will have NO qualms with answering that question. NONE. ZERO. If I had any inclination or reason to do so, I would. It wouldn't bother me at all.That's not privacy--that's security.not caring about privacy =/= going out of your way to reveal all personal infoYou're pathetic.
AHAHAHAHGA BULL FUCKING SHIT you wouldn't care about someone seeing you in a PRIVATE, INTIMATE MOMENT with a signifcant other.
Nah I'm pretty sure if someone really wants to hurt you it DOES become your problem, because if you fail to protect yourself you'll end up dead or hurt. To deny it's problem is arrogance at it's finest.
Yes, do it. Post every detail of your life, indulge every detail. Because unless you do, you're full of shit.
No? Then you're a hypocrite and a coward. Everyone values privacy, even your dumb ass.
Actually do you know what security is? Protected PRIVATE information.

If I didn't know there were people who would exploit my SSN if I posted it, I would post my SSN. It's not a privacy issue. It's a security issue.
Yes, continue lying to yourself.
Yes, it does become your problem. "Sir, this man wants to kill you. You need protection." "LOL NAH IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM" *ends up dead* Still not your problem? You moron.
Start at the beginning, where else would you start?
Except you do. Everyone does, if you think you don't you're lying to yourself.
Sensitive information also falls under protected private information. It all comes back to being private info. There's no twisting the facts on that.
Heeeey, back on topic, this is unnecessary.
And they would use it against me in a way that would fuck up my life substantially.People knowing what I do in the privacy of my bedroom?That's not going to fuck up my life substantially. It's not going to fuck up my life at all.Quote from: Yu on April 11, 2015, 07:34:26 PMHeeeey, back on topic, this is unnecessary.We are on topic. Discussion of Edward Snowden begets discussion of privacy.
