2019-05-16 at 12:50 AM UTC in Ghetto Tracker"...Is now called "Good part of Town"
An Application to keep drivers and tourist out of bad side of town
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ghetto-tracker_n_3869051
In less than 24 hours, a new app tactfully titled Ghetto Tracker—a service seeking to help people identify safe areas in unfamiliar cities—has already garnered enough backlash to prompt an immediate name change to Good Part of Town.
However, the PR move may not do much to alter the public’s reception of the app, which critics are slamming as a racist, classist app for helping the rich to avoid the poor.
The app functions by allowing locals to rate the safety of different parts of a given area. According to The Week, the original launch of the page featured a white family of four smiling alongside the app’s promise to show users “which parts of town are safe and which ones are ghetto, or unsafe.”
In addition to the name change, all mention of the word “ghetto” has been removed from the site. The site now features an ethnically diverse family on its homepage.
In an email sent to Gawker, the app’s team said it changed the name in response to emails from a woman whose family had been contained in an actual World War II ghetto and one from a man who grew up in a struggling area and went on to graduate from college and overcome his upbringing.
“I can’t be held responsible for the assumptions people may make in regards to factors like race and income,” the letter to Gawker continued. “I’ve seen comments on blogs and in twitter that are trying to say this is encouraging racism or social stratification and that was never our intention.”
But critics have pointed out the app’s adverse effects on the community, regardless of the app’s intentions.
“It’s pretty detrimental to society when we reinforce the idea that poor or crime-heavy areas are places to be categorically avoided or shamed,” David Holmes wrote on PandoDaily. “As if to assume that every person who lives in an area with comparatively high crime or poverty is a criminal, or that these areas are devoid of culture or positivity.”

Originally posted by We'reAllBrownNosers CDC was based in lubbock, a town with a very high rate of HIV infections. It makes sense they'd be from some boring ass place like that. They weren't CIA but they did teach the NSA and military a thing or two. They had at one point announced they had the power to shut down the internet entirely and the government knew they weren't bluffing.

2019-05-15 at 10:17 PM UTC in Got into a fightLOL it dawned on me. CDC is a dis-association of TOTSE by becoming the website in mainstream media because unlike TOTSE, CDC was a closed membership though open to read the postings.

Information should be free to roam and collected by anyone.
I was letting you know that totse got into trouble for that. as did Zoklet with the coupons perhaps??(Wasn't there for that gem)
I got blacklisted not just cause of 9/11 from mr Jeff himself but the kid who blew off his legs Up in Canada which I don't think was related to the kid on CDC unless both had the same info, it was Jeff's site he posted a thread on.
unless Jeff and CDC were like NirvanaNet during the dialup? and were updating the same forums they shared?
I never bothered going on CDC because it was closed to all new members.. probably CIA ran out of El Paso. -

I wasn't chuckling. it is fascinating and I had lots of visions of what I was observing or experiencing in him. it seems like his mind is controlled. -

Originally posted by We'reAllBrownNosers I know an awful lot about poisons, which is ironic since I wouldn't ever poison anybody. But you tend to learn a few things about poisons when you study herbal medicines.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubroboletus_satanas
Some things won't likely kill you but make you wish you were dead.
EDIT: and if you wanted someone to stop drinking alcohol, there's a mushroom that is only toxic when mixed with alcohol. Not usually deadly, but it'll make you extremely sick. Just spike someone's food with that, or drink.
don't give out information like that. you might end up killing someone by proxy if some young kid in middle school looking for such a thing managed to get it through a search engine.
"For educational purpose only.. do not attempt"
-Totse? only Totse I believe said "For informational purpose only" which made totse still reliable-responsible because saying it was to educate people in doing so?
this is something that was often spoke about.
edit your post out, please. -

2019-05-15 at 5:44 PM UTC in How many times have you been arrested?Sometimes I see Kr0z stare off into the other direction when on tinychat and I start to think. Is he chipped.. it's like he's a robot and says nothing but stares off at the wall or out the window like he's on pause mode.. then if someone says something that the MKUltra'lites don't like, he'll make the pepe Eeeeeeee, sound and start talking in relations to what you're saying for a moment and suddenly hook a 45* and go off- tangent and finalize with his not so trademark laughter.
but then again I wonder if he has a giant screen monitor or a projectior on his wall he watches
It's a classic Kr0z moment -

Originally posted by mashlehash Well to me, it looks like he is just picking at his gums..I see a tooth or two that looks like it moves.
He's doing damage and he's off in his bown world right now…scratch that he's probably coming down.
are you kidding me? The fact you can see the roots of half of his back teeth is a major warning sign. I had this discussion with that honkey mother fucker on bltc
about how the gums reflect the inflammation of the circulatory system. dudes what.. 22-23?
