Well of course its all a matter of personal preference, but my personal philosophy is it's better to be safe than potentially incarcerated and systematically sodomized.

I was a software engineer in Silicon Valley for 8 years once. I still keep up with the industry. The tracking thing started around 20 years ago. It started with cookies and became increasingly sophisticated. Then marketing got in on it. They collected, processed and sold databases of stuff you did online. They ended up with huge databases that were almost too large to do anything with. There were no real laws about what they could or could not do with the data they collected, so whatever. I remember we used to buy lists of potential customers who fit a certain profile, then we would spam them. Data is cheap.
Analytics software now exists that can be used to easily identify you from anonymized data, find patterns in what you buy, customize the ads you see wherever you are online, etc. It can also predict behavior very accurately (based on certain facts, the software can calculate with XX% confidence that a specific person will want to buy toothpaste on September 23. It's kind of creepy, but nobody really cared because the use of the data was mostly harmless. Now, since we are always at war with Eurasia, yadda yadda yadda... They need all that data to stop trrsts. And for other purposes (a wonderful generic phrase that is included in every law).
It doesn't take a huge leap to go from that to writing a program that can automatically build profiles on everyone in the system, then flag certain profiles for further review... A lot of good can come out of all this. We could discover things about being human that we never thought to ask before. Humans don't have the best history with these sort of things.

this is why I don't use tor.
https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=134365
and here is the thing on pictures better safe then sorry https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=236379 It's called a geotag that stores the location the picture was taken.
this geotag shits fucked fans of mythbusters found dudes home cause of the geotag lol, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/12/t...=1&adxnnlx=1334919621-5ElagCuH950FJLQhvK/84w&
if they could do that rippers could find your crop indoors or out you scroll down a little further on the icmag thread you will see even a hacker got caught from fbi from his geotag. and to think I got shit for not posting pictures I was really gonna but I know nothing about removing geotags sure it shows you on icmag but I'm not legal any damn way and I could care less about being cool to random people I'll never meet.

The problem with collecting that kind of information is that it's never used for good. Our government is scary as hell, and what they do with the info is what scares me not a company trying to make me some custom coupons, you know. If they want to collect info on me, they should have a warrant, and not buy personal info from companies spying on me. What a load of B.S. Like we don't have enough problems already we need some @$$hole filing everything we look at or buy. Good grief. Peace out people.

I think people are getting at the fact that the feds are more curious in following people that are using a proxy server. Makes it seem like you got something to hide, and big brother doesn't like us keeping secrets.
And maybe that server is working to give you anonymity or it is just making you stick out more. Sometimes the best hiding place is out in the open.
Either way, the electricity that is used in doors would have already had you on a list if they were looking. That 12/12 and 18/6 are dead give aways. And posting pics is hard to go by because people could have just stolen pics off the net or taken photos elsewhere.

Thin is good....applies to women and postage. I have been getting my beans in record time (5 days Central time zone). Use some common sense....1/4 inch thick, no metal..no customs. Order a package fat enough for a Tshirt and on top of that it has a tin your just asking to be fucked with. To the receiver of the personal note: Did you get the mail directly or did someone like a room mate or shitty neighbor have time to jack with you mail?

Ok, Attitude is the shiz, I'm now ready to rock, and the shipping this time was impeccably stealth. I'm keeping my mouth shut, about methods, but if custies mess with it, it would be a dick move on there part. I have no fears, ordering from them in the future, and this experience shows the kind of personality some posters have, if they don't walk away as happy as I am right now. The freebies I received are sweet, (Boss Hog anybody?), and I'm on a roll to a better tomorrow. Thanks Attitude...
