People can get together and use EMOJ’s that mean the opposite how they feel. on an agreed time they can randomly reverse.

A friend used to accuse me of ‘being happy just being unhappy’. He made me laugh about it. Think about it too.

Soooo...about once a month my very best friend and I talk for an hour or more by phone...(I rarely talk on the phone except for with her). Yesterday afternoon we talked....last night I went to Pinterest (a guilty pleasure, crafts, recipes, etc)...and two things popped up that were directly RELATED to our conversation...VERY CREEPY. (And, NOT related to any of my interests.) We may start toying with them in future conversations....anyone noticed this? This means the cell provider AND Pinterest both are using our words...I suppose a LANDLINE may end this...or handwritten letters.

We Marylanders who use the crab emoji are going to be discriminated against based on a mistaken interpretation of its meaning!

There should be no tracking allowed at all.

#29 Known issue. I saw a youtube video where a guy demonstrated this. Those spy devices people get like Alexa and Siri or google home.

Example of google listening.

Thanks. I don’t have alexa or one of those....but, my friend may. I do have Google...because of my Android phone...and, I’ve tried disabling things I don’t use but it will not let me disable much of Google.
