I’ve had people tell me that this is (their words, not mine): “mental illness”

    Yeh my family treat me like I am a nut job. I only swapped away from google and ask them to think about the orgs they spend their money on for example Amazon.

    It’s amazing how many people got on board with Covid conspiracies but questioning where you data goes, who’s using it, what for, no that’s a bit far lol.

      Told my older parents I use a custom ROM with a profile for work and a profile for personal and they asked me what I’m hiding, and why I’m so paranoid. I said… it’s not paranoia, it’s organization. Color coding profiles allows my mind to switch gears from work to personal life like mental compartments. I am a boring person. I have nothing to be paranoid about. They didn’t believe me. Oh well…

      Edit: part of me thinks the whole mental state switching from work profile to personal is an ADHD aspect as well. Especially the color coding helps wonders.
