and i kinda like it

if you have the google app installed on your phone, it pays attention to your habits. if you travel back and forth somewhere everyday at the same time, it assumes that is your work trip. so, everyday a half hour before your habitual travel, it automatically gives you a message telling you if the traffic is bad or not, and how long your trip will be that day. cool.

i have also been searching for the bears schedule on google last few weeks. well, today i get a window in my notification dropdown of the current bears game score and status. very cool.

say what you want about privacy and everything... i understand why all of this is potentially dangerous... but at the same time its really fuckin nice to have all this stuff happen automatically without me presetting various apps to do this stuff.

that's just laziness ike.... you could easily have a traffic app set up with your default route where you press one button and have your updates, but from the way you make it sound it seems like google is just popping up with HEY UR WORK ROUTE HAS TRAFFIC info all willy nilly, which is a little bit presumptuous.... i mean, shit, if you drive to the same weed guy enough is your phone gonna start figuring out that you return to that place every 3.21 days so then when you get into your last gram and you're about to call your guy you get messages popping up with shit like "what are you doing fool? k-town has the bomb nuggets right now HOLLAR AT HIM!"

SLIPPERY SLOPE, IKE, WHERE DOES IT END?!!?

It is definitely something to keep in mind if you are thinking of murdering someone.

No kidding. Its ruining a lot of tvshows because there are always crimes being commited and the dude is on the phone calling people. Shit just having the phone with u puts you at the scene of the crime!

It has been awkward. Last time i went this long without it i was 15. Life is definitely more boing sober and i also realaize i was never antisocial because i was always stoned i just think people are really dumb and a waste of time to talk to.
