"Please call me."
"No."
Translation: I want to tear you a new one through a non-written medium so it doesn't get recorded.
Translation: You have no power here.
I have an app that records all my calls. All of them. It's uploaded to the cloud daily.
I did it because I know I'm not the only one listening to them. Or at the bare minimum parsing them. If csis or the NSA isn't running all our calls through some kind of aj I'd be shocked. "Oh w|re not recording your calls don't worry" they'd say slyly as every fucking utterance is tokenized and stored forever in some kind of creepy fuck you mainframe somewhere.
When I started looking through what Google collects on me I realized that this is just what they're letting me see and there's all kinds stuff I don't get to see. And they "keep it for 3 months' or some timeframe like that (riiiight).
If the time ever came where I needed any of that data (I'm extricating myself from Google slowly but surely but in the meantime) - they've proven they're not trustworthy enough for me to be able to rely on them to get it.
Also I can do fuck you.
That alone gave me the joy I can go through another day.
