Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Oh, fuck yes. You make it easier by keeping your phone with you with wifi turned on - it doesn't have to connect. They can track you really well and of course they do. They're not deleting all that footage. They're mining it for data. They want to see what you looked at, what you looked at longer, what you touched, what you picked out and put in your cart, etc...

Of course they're tracking you in the store. We wrote software that let them do that and then installed that software (it ran on dedicated hardware) for them, so that they could do it themselves. (They'd contract with us for support and updates.)

Hell, it's probably cheap enough now so that small stores are even doing it. I don't actually know, 'cause I'm out of the field. But, there's a reason my company sold for all that money.

I know, I was kidding. I've installed many people trackers

Ah, good. Yeah, they're fucking tracking people. Of course they are! They want more money, 'cause that's what they do.

I've had people ask me how I sleep at night after helping companies do this. The truth is, it doesn't bother me even in the slightest. I made a tool. People found ways to use my tools. People gave me money for them. I don't hold firearm companies liable for the crimes people commit with them, just like I don't hold knife makers accountable for people who stab people. They made tools. Me too.

yeah they are also trying to manipulate where in the store people go
